Hi ... need some with XP network config
I've been using NT & W2k to access my corporations network from home for years via workgroup, but I've installed XP Pro and cannot see any network elements / PC's on my workgroup. The XP machine works fine on my local lan within the house to other PC's and workgroups. But when I try and brower the network after connecting to work, it returns nothing except my own PC name. On NT or W2k it will show all of the PC's in my workgroup at work. If I map via \\IP\C$ this works. I use Nortel VPN client to gain access to the domain.
What do you have to set in XP to browse workgroups in a domain if the PC is not registered to the domain, but is configured for the a workgroup name that is within a domain?
Cheers
