    Hi guys,
    I just installed VMware and a copy of XP Pro. Everything is working except XP running under fusion will not recognize other computers or the server on the network. I changed the workgroup name to match the network. Please help!

    Do you mean your networking does not work at all? So you cannot go online in XP? Have you updated VMWare to version 2 and installed VMWare drivers (Virtual Machine>Install VMWare Tools)?

    The internet works wirelessly. But, XP does not recognize other computers on the network. I think everything is installed but I will double check.
