it seems I have been in most of those sites and have done what I need to but
I still can't find my network computers. I followed a suggestion to put in
my computer name that the printers are on in the start button with the \\ in
front and I did that and it couldn't be found. So, I had it diagnosed and
tried to fix the problem but I got the error message "windows cannot resolve
the problem". I also tried to download the "fix" on the XP computer and when
I download the 922120 it says this: "set up has detected that the service
pack versioln of this system is newer than the update you are applying.
There is no need to install this update"
The laptop doesn't see the network and on my desktop, it doesn't see my
laptop either.
