    I have my desktop and laptop connected on a wireless network. But for some reason, under the network name in My Network Places, I can only see my laptop and not my desktop. Even on my desktop, it only shows my laptop as being part of the network and doesn't recognize itself as being on there. I can still connect to the shared files on my laptop from my desktop, but can't even see my desktop on either computers in the network. How do I fix this? Thanks.
