was fine and then it wasnt

ok all other systems are xp, other than mums system which is vista.

ok, did the networkign which went fine.

but then all of a sudden after a reboot (no adjustments here)

all systems were not showing in the group but the windows 7.

and all systems have no issues gettign into the system

the systems are not passworded

so even after re doing the networking, i still cant get the other system becomed seen in the group.

Hi and welcome to seven forums

We kinda need more info from you on the network cards, and network setup. Have you tried rebooting the router then the pc's?

When you get a chance could you fill in the systems specs (in the lower left corners of your posts) so that we know what kind of hardware you have

Again welcome

Ken

yeah its acalled home on all systems.

everythign is turned on , password is turned off.

like i said all was fine untill i did a reboot and then they all went

im starting to think its an update.. was only 3 updates but maybe that did harm

and silverlight.

god this has got me psssssd

so what woudl explain the systems not showing up after a reboot . if nothign was alterted

let me just clear soemthign here.
on all other machines which are xp. in the work group which is called home you see ALL systems and all of them them even the windows 7 system is accessable.

now go over into the windows 7 system, if you clikc on the full map you only see windows 7 which is active and another which you cant click on, and if you go into the work group its only the windows 7 system.

ive tried everythign and its stressing me out here. and always seems to be ruddy networking that always gets to me ...strange how that started with vista hmm.

Attention to detail.

Was BarMan's checklist not helpful?
