I have just installed a new BT Home hub 2 after using the old BT Home hub for some time with no difficulty and no problems. I have two laptops and two desktop machines. One of the desktops uses vista; the other machines run XP. All communicated through a local workgroup.

Having installed the new homehub2, I now find that I can see the machines across some of machines but I cannot access their contents. One of the laptops simply does not see the network. All are connected to the internet and work independently. I have tried everything I can think of to get the local network going but have run out of ideas. The only thing left I can think of is to completely reinstall windows but this is a bit drastic and wonder if anyone out there has some other thoughts.
