I have a new laptop with Vista Home Premium. I have changed the
laptop's workgroup name to same as other two PCs in the house
(MSHOME). Laptop connects to Internet just fine through wireless
access point. However, laptop cannot see other two computers when
looking at listing in network/MSHOME in Network. What settings remain
to be checked and changed?

I have solved the problem. Had to set network to "private" on the
Vista machine. Obscure Microsoft....
