I'm too lazy to really delve into it, so hopefully the helpful people at CP can help me out:

I had a nice workgroup network set up where all 4 computers + ps3 & Xbox were able to share files from each other (mainly my desktop because that's what has all the HDD space) and had a network printer set up.

Just installed a new Wireless N router, didn't change any computer settings, Workgroup is still the same, yet now, none of my computers can see each other on the workgroup. Oh yeah, all are connecting to the internet fine through the router, so it's not something stupid like having the router on "N-only" setting or anything like that.

What do I need to do to get it working again?

I am running 2 Vista computers and 2 XP computers along with the 360 and the PS3.

Thanks in advance!

Nevermind, I got it figured out, guess I did my stupid thing today.

Just had to restart the Vista computers and set the new network to "Home/Private Network" to make them visible.

See, I wouldn't have gotten that right away. But as soon as I have Vista computers on my network, I bet I'll be searching for this thread.
