[pchelpers] Re: pc does not see shared files

I have 3 on the network.
I tell you, I don't know some of the answers you asked.

I ran a network wizard a while back I know I did.

I'm connected 'wirelessly' to the laptop and living room pc from the 
wired one in the computer room that has a router.

I should be able to see in 'network places' the 'shared files'.  But I 
don't.

<Miki, a sister on another list... she got me fixed up so that my 
printer can be seen on all 3 now.  Sure is handy!>

I'm on win xp home.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
