I still can't see my "Microsoft Windows Network" when I browse under "Entire Network", even after several iterations of help from [livejournal.com profile] hms42.

If I go to Tools|FolderOptions|General and turn off common tasks, I'll see the "Entire Network" icon. When I click on it, I see the Microsoft Terminal Services and Web Client Network icons. I don't see an icon for Microsoft Windows Network. But I can still ping orac and tardis and get a response from the pings. I also enabled the icon in the "MSHOME Properties" window (MSHOME being the default name of the workgroup).

I also tried rolling back SP3, resinstalling Windows from the upgrade disk, and reinstalling SP3.

I also tried upgrading the driver on my network card.

Some history: I had a hub and ethernet cabling. The network worked fine under Windows 98. In June, I acquired a Linksys wireless router. Even though I still use dial-up, I wanted to use it as a wireless access point for the laptop. I couldn't use it that way, so I wrapped up everything and saved it for future use. Now I'm using a crossover cable.
