Unable to see Workgroup computers in Win XP Pro

We have recently installed Fusion andlove it, but now that we have our windows based software running (Quickbooks pro) we are unable to view the PC based server that houses the datafiles.

There appears to be some issue with the Workgroup name (We set it up as "hpm" but it somehow always goes back to MSHOME)

We ARE able to see and connect to all the networked computers and servers on the MAC side, but not on the PC side once we are running Windows XP thru Fusion....

Any ideas ? Help please.

Thanks.

Try using bridged networking. Go to Virtual Machine > Settings > Network or click on the network icon in Fusion's status bar, and choose Bridged. You may have to reboot the guest to get it to recognize the change
