Hi,
Upgraded to XP Home yesterday from Windows ME, upgrade went very smooothly and everything else is working fine.
However if i click on "My Network places" nothing happens for nearly a minute then it opens up, and once inside i cant connect to any of the network drives i had setup and i cant view any of the other computers on my network and they cant see me. I have run the XP Networking wizard again and then run that on the other computers but it doesnt work.
I know the network hardware is working fine as I access the internet through a router/switch.
I cant think of anything else i would need to run other than the wizard and im annoyed that i had everything working and then windows XP has screwed up the whole thing.
First thing i would like to sort out is why my network places takes so long to load, then i wanna get it actually showing the rest of the network.
Any help at all would be much appreciated. Thanks
