    Thanks for the followup. Got everything "mostly" working, except for one XP machine that I need to re-check settings on - it cannot see the network - its an old XP laptop that I reformatted recently, so it very likely the required settings need to be revisited. However, can you clarify your...

    Two Win 7 pcs - can only see my XPs from one of them

    Many thanks for putting all that together. Its a great resoruce/summary on the topic. I will double check my XP settings acccrodingly. On the XP side, I am assuming I have the Netbios set up correctly as my other Win 7 machine has no issues talking to them. On the Win 7 side, I have tried...

    Two Win 7 pcs - can only see my XPs from one of them

    On PC01, if I manually type in \\pc02 and \\pc03 and \\pc04 , they all appear in thelist under Networks, and they all work... but if I close the window and re-open it, it goes back to only showing me \\pc01 and \\pc05 So there is something off in terms of 'network discovery" On PC05, it...

    Two Win 7 pcs - can only see my XPs from one of them

    Thanks for the tip. Read it top to bottom - unfortunately the suggestions didnt help.. and I compared suggested settings with the working Win 7 machine and they are not required to address this issue ( ie I see all the XP machines without the suggested fixes). Totally frustrating. This...

    Help - sudden loss of ALL my AP's

    No, not yet, just power cycled them. I am hoping I will find the right router setting to fix this. Its the only thing that makes sense to knock out all three APs at once. But failing that, yes, I guess I will have to and see if that changes anything.

    Help - sudden loss of ALL my AP's

    The main router IP address has not changed. I can see it, ping it, access it, etc. So I know it is correct. The AP IP address, used to work, I can no longer ping it, access it, so I can no longer confirm it is still what I think it is.. I suppose I can disconenct them all, hard reset them all...
