    I can't see other Pc's in my workgroup


    I worder if there is a service which isn't running on my Pc because I can't see my streaming unit or any other Pc's in my workgroup. The Pc is new and on my laptop I can see the units in my workgroup but not on this Pc. I have compared the two Pc's sharing configuration and I can't tell the difference. It is not easy because my windows is danish and the the advices on the internet is in english. MS have made a big mistake by translating all messages from english to danish and it make it difficult to find on the internet.


    Any ideas?
