Tina, The article Jim sent you may help, also you could check out this article. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 Sometimes my NAS (Linux Based) does not show up in my Explorer, so I created a shortcut and click that, it opens my NAS but shortly after that it shows up in explorer. in the short cut target use \\BPCSNAS Or \\192.168.1.95 (obviously use the IP of the machine you want.) Also you can try just typing \\pcname in the search window and next time you look in network folder you may see the PC.

I had that experience. Then, after a few days, my network connections were all back - after presumably the next Win-7 (or Win-XP) update. Some time later, once again my network disappeared from the Win-7 machine - it cannot see any of the Win-XP machines. The Win-XP machines see each other but not the Win-7 machine. I've put off thinking about this, but now I need to. I really liked being able to reach across the network for things stored elsewhere - for example my genealogy database is on a shared external drive plugged into my Win-XP Pro machine. I don't so much like having to switch machines to go check something in that database. Nor am I wild about having to pop things onto a jump drive and transfer them via sneaker-net to my Win-7 machine in order to print them. (That's a different issue - the printer decided to stop seeing the wireless network, so it's plugged into a USB port on my Win-7 machine - I'll get to that after I work out this on-again off-again business with Win-7 and Win-XP.) Does anybody here know how I can re-establish my wireless network between Win-7 and Win-XP? Oh, and KEEP it re-established? Thanks.
