    I have Vista and I am trying to connect to my business's workgroup. I was on the workgroup and everything worked great but I had to replace my hard drive and now I cant get back on the workgroup. I followed all of the instructions on the help page and everyone else in the workgroup can see me but I cannot see anyone else in the workgroup. If anyone can please help. Thank you.

    In vista there is an option to allow the network to be either public or private. If you have listed it is a public network this might be the reason. Try listing it as a private network.
