My desktop pc connected to mt wireless router sees the Tivo just fine, and
I have Tivo to Go working on that computer. But my wireless laptop, which
works just fine on my wireless home network, cannot find the Tivo on the
network.

Any ideas? The Tivo is connected to my wireless network, and it sees my PC
just fine. It's my laptop that has problems.

I've tried disabling Windows XP SP2 firewall, that didn't work.
I've tried re entering my media access key.
I've reinstalled Tivo Server.

I've tried everything.

Any ideas?

Check the firewall settings on your router.

Start w/ the basics:

- Try pinging the Tivo from your laptop, do you get a response?

- Try bringing up the Tivo web interface, will it come up?

Try uninstalling/reinstalling TiVo Desktop on your laptop.
