Hi,

Check its "Workgroup" name. Rightclick on "My Computer"--> click on "Computer

Name" Tab ----> check the workgroup name. If you want to change the

workgroup name then click on "Change" and enter the right workgroup name.

Click on Start--->select "Run" ---> type NETSETUP.CPL and click on OK.

Just run that network setup wizard and follow the instructions.

Sorry for the late reply.

Check your firewall.
can you ping to other computers ?
Open your local area connection properties window and make sure all the options are selected.
