MSHOME

MSHOME is the default name (that Windows assigns) of the workgroup that Richard was talking about earlier.

My WLAN now has a PC with a Linksys 54g wireless router and 2 laptops, one with a Linksys wireless 54g PC Card and the other (nice shiny new one) with a built in 802.11g NIC. The network uses WPA, shares a broadband cable Internet connection and shares 1 inkjet printer. All the components are in the MSHOME workgroup. Took minutes in XP to set up (using the wizard) and works fine.

If yours now works as you wanted it, don't try to fix it would be my advice, however it might be good to ditch your Belkin hardware and get something else (D-Link, Linksys etc) and just start again - shouldnt take long and will save you having to repair your wifi connection on all three computers every time you log on.
