Ok so I have a Linksys WRT54G router. 2 desktop pcs are connected as well as my laptop whether it be wireless or wired. The 2 pcs are connected with each other no problem, but when trying to put the laptop in the same workgroup I am having a name resolution error. I can ping each of the pcs from the laptop using their ip, but not their names. Each name is unique. I tried playing with the DNS, but to no avail. I am stumped as to why this is happening??

Ok I solved my own problem with some trial and error. If anyone else is having this same problem here is what I did to cure this problem:

Right Click My Computer
Select Manage
Select Services
Right Click Routing and Remote Access
Select Properties
Go to the Startup Type and make sure it is Automatic (mine was disabled by default; this executable obviously has something do to do with network services)
Click OK and everything should work.

Here is the path for the executable if you want to know it:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs
