Connecting a new computer to an office network

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

We have about 7 computers connected to an office network, and each computer
connects to the internet through a wireless connection. I went through the
network setup wizard to add a new xp machine to the network, added a network
place using the new computer's name, and made sure that the workgroup is the
same as the office workgroup, but I cannot connect to the office network. Is
there something I need to do to the host computer? Any suggestions?

No. I recently hooked up another new computer to the network, and all I had
to do was assign it to the workgroup and run the network setup wizard. I
didn't have the usb memory drive for that one, so I don't think that can be
the problem. I just don't understand why the first one was so easy to set up.
