Thanks. All computers have the same workgroup name. I am not on site at the moment but will be in about an hour or so. I will update you then.

Also remember that most of the new antivirus software comes with built in firewalls so check there too as symantec, mcafee, kaspersky, sophos will untrust networks / block netbios for file sharing by default.

Did some digging and found a third party firewall. I disabled it and the network popped right up. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Good morning experts. I am trying to network a clients computer to a small business network of 6 computers. I can access the internet, I can ping the other computers, but it won't see them in the network. I did rename it to the new nets name. My client tried to unsucessfully set up a VPN from home to connect to the business but ended up needing the computer in the business. I suspect something she did in attempting to set up a VPN has corrupted some of the network settings. I am not a network administrator and really need some help!

New computer won't recognize existing network

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.
