when I go to Network place, I only see my computer and the windows network, named WORKGROUP. There was originally WORKGROUP and HOME, but now Home is not visible. If I go into the router settings it shows the one windows computer belonging to the Home Network, while the two laptops running Linux only show up on the WORKGROUP.
Can anyone tell me how to get the HOME network back, this laptop uses the windows printer on HOME for printing.

It is a totally wireless network, with one Windows computer running XP Media, this laptop using 9.04 and another laptop that dual boots XP and UBUNTU 9.04.

Thanks

Can you ping the "HOME" machine?

NO. it is weird cause I setup my default printer and had no problem with the HOME network that day, it found the printer and I printed several pages. Now, I don't even see a HOME network, just the WORKGROUP network.

It has to be with the wireless, cause now "it's back!"

Sometimes there can be quite a lag while the "Master Browser" sorts out what/who is on the network.
