Hi, When I browse my local network from my Win 7 Ult laptop with the wireless connection I can see all of my PC's and shares created in my XP enviorment but when I use the 100 MB Lan cable I can't get to, or see any of the PC's - any ideas why? Cheers' Dave

Hi Dave, Can you access to Internet via lan cable? To confirm if the issue is related to lan cable, you can try another cable. However, if you ensure the cable has no problem but the issue persists, please update your network adapter driver manually. Run network troubleshooting to check the possible cause. Also, open cmd and type ipconfig /all, then copy and paste the result here.
