    I have 3 devices hooked up to home network in the house. Those are my computer, modded xbox, and the kitchen computer. But the computer in my room cant access no other computers in the network. When my friend hook up his laptobp all the other computers come up besides the one in my room. It has been like this for two years. Can some help me out please?

    Have you made sure that all the computers are on the same workgroup? Usually the default is MSHOME but if you do some tinkering you might have changed the setting when you went to change the computer name or something. You might want to try reconnecting your computer to the network again.

    Yes, it is all on the same network name. MSHOME is what it is.
