Network cable unplugged

Thanks for the quick response. I will check this out tonight when I get home. One other thing that I tried was Remote Administrator (Radmin). This is software that allows you to connect to someone elses computer. I have that and I can not connect to my laptop but from my laptop I can connect to a different computer. So it's like a firewall not allowing things to get to it.

When you talk about browser wars are you talking about Internet explorer vs netscape vs mozilla?

Thanks.

Question -
I just bought a Dell Inspiron 8600 centrino laptop with XP pro. Out of the box I got the wireless working and was able to set up to existing LAN through my DLink DI-614+ wireless router. Since then my wife has installed VPN-1 SecureClient Connection to the laptop which allows her to connect to her company. This works as does the wireless internet connection. The issue is now when I log into any account I can no longer see my other computers on the network. When I go into network place my LAN say network cable unplugged but obviously that just because I am wireless.

This is fine for my wife but I personally would like it when I log into my account I can see my other pcs on the network. If I can't get the VPN software to work with the network do you have any knowledge of XP have a function where I can install the VPN just on a certain account only? Why did it install on all account anyway?

Hope some of this makes sense. I have no clue.

What profile you installed the VPN software on, either "All Users" or her account (whatever you named it) wouldn't matter. In fact installing the software at all shouldn't matter. If you can absolutely say without a shadow of a doubt it was the software install that started causing the resolution problems then I'd contact them because it would have installed something of which I am unfamiliar. More than likely that was a coincidence. Windows name resolution, Network Places, is about as bad as it gets from Microsoft. I don't use it at all. I either use the UNC path from the run box ex..\\computername\sharename, or use the search for computers feature from the start menu. If you must use Network Places then you can start troubleshooting master browser issues. You might be having master browser wars. I would disable the master browser on all but one machine. This will vary on how you go about this depending on what OS your using. For XP you do it from the services MMC from the Administrative tools folder in the control panel. The service is COmputer manager or computer browser. The other methodolgy would be to install NetBEUI as a transmission protocol but that is an extreme step and generally un-needed. I'd look at the master browser as a culprit first and not worry too much about the software you installed. If that messed it up then the vendor who sells that software has some pretty serious questions to answer.
