You've just formatted several computers, linked it up and its working smoothly on the network. After you've found a problem when you try to link an old computer which is already there but wasn't added on the network before you made a turn to format the others.
You keep in changing network cables to fixed the problem but for no avail, the problem hasn't been fix.
There are instances that this problem will be encountered by several people in the office or in any cafe where a connection is present, but the question is, can this problem be fixed without the need of formatting the computer?, is there any virus present on the computer and could be the reason that after being configured thoroughly, nothing happens and still the computer you try to connect to the network can't be seen on the network?
Some would desperately format the PC if they find it useful to do. Some might just take the computer out of the network.
But there is a technique to overcome this kind of problem. Of all the problems encountered, this is the easiest and got only little to do to solve and fixed it.
How?
Here's how.
For this tutorial, I am referring to the Windows 7 Operating System. On the desktop, right click on the My Computer icon, and Select Properties. After clicking properties, a new windows will open which has some informations about your computer.
You can find a link on that window named Change Settings, clicking that link will open up the System Properties window. There you can see the workgroup name. This workgroup has a great impact in networking. It is also one of the reasons you can share some files and share an specific computer on the network if this is configured like the other computers. Its not just making some configurations on the computers IP but this could also help.
Renaming the workgroup name like the other workgroup names would definitely fix the problem.
Try it and if you failed..get back to me and tell me I'm wrong.
