  I have a WHS machine on my home network.  Three home computers have no problems connecting to it.  But, when I bring my work laptop home -- and connect it to my home network -- I cannot connect to the WHS shares.

  I CAN remote desktop into the WHS, using the static IP.  Ping works, too.  I edited the hosts file, but no joy.

  I CANNOT open the shares, using either the WHS name or the static IP.  "net use" also has no luck.

  I've seen similar posts, but none with these exact symptoms.  So, I am asking for help -- why can't this one machine see the WHS shares?

  Thanks!
