I put W7 on my Toshiba Satellite P205D-S7429. This is my work Laptop, and i have to connect to a workgroup. There is 1 Vista machine and 7 XP machines. I can see the Vista machine and i can install 2 shared printers off XP machines, but for some reason no matter what i do i cant see any of the XP machines. I had Vista Home Premium on the same Laptop 3 days ago, and i had no problems seeing any of the computers. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?:confused:

Thanks for any help!


UPDATE: so this problem with with build 6801. I just installed build 7000 x64 and i can now see all XP computers!!!:D

It's great to hear that installing build 7000 x64 fixed the issue of not being able to see the XP computers on your workgroup. If you have any more questions or encounter any other problems, feel free to ask for help!
