Default MSHOME/Workgroup

After reformatting my computer, I am now unable to connect to MSHOME. I tried the network setup for XP. But that didn't work. What should I do?

Default MSHOME/Workgroup

Browser war. Just use the UNC path to get to the resource

Start, then Run. From the run box type the server name via UNC path. Since the workgroup isn't available I'd probably use the IP instead of the computer name.

syntax is \\IP so if the IP is 192.168.0.2 it'd be \\192.168.0.2 As long as you have something properly shared and no firewall issue you should get the shares on that machine.

Network Places is a notoriously poor network connectivity tool without local DNS or WINS.
