    Resolved [RESOLVED] Samsung Notbook NP R50 networking

    I have rebuilt from scratch my son's R50 with Win XP and it is working OK including connection to the net through a router.

    However I cannot connect to the LAN ie other computer connected to the router. When I look at the Computer Properties - Computer Name - the Network ID is greyed out. I have looked at to ensure all the drivers from Samsung are intalled.

    Other PCs on the LAN can see each other and share files etc.

    You have a different name for the computer description and all have the same network name.
    The default names are different between XP and Vista as a exqample.

    No they are all called MSHOME!!!! Note the laptop was set to MSHOME by default but with the Network ID grayed it cannot be changed!!!

    I just set the My Documents to Share and it can be seen and opened by my Vista laptop!!
