[AccessD] OT - Workgroup Issues

When I set up my laptop to log onto our company network through a
wireless connection, I had to physically connect it once and log in to
create the profile and make my machine recognized by the network.  After
that, I could log in through the wireless connection.  I do have a VPN
connection for coming in from home.

I need help fixing my peer-to-peer network.

After going to a two day conference at Purdue University where I only
connected to Purdue's wireless network long enough to read the
instructions for connecting (a VPN was required) and then disconnecting
without creating a VPN and shutting off my wireless card for the rest of
the conference...

I can no longer get into "Workgroup" and therefore cannot access any of
the computers here.  If a computer had a mapped drive to mine they can
still get on mine, but I do not show as a computer in the Workgroup.

If I try to view the entire network, after I click on "Workgroup" there
is about a 10-12 second delay and then I get this message: "Workgroup is
not accessible.  You might not permission to use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have
access permissions.     The list of servers for this workgroup is not
currently available."

What the heck does that mean?

AND, I can print to the network printer and browse the net fine.  I have
tried to release and renew IP's on both the wireless connectiong and
ethernet card on this computer.  Restarted every computer, printer, and
router on the network.

Please help.  This is really killing productivity.
