Hey everyone. Today I had a random problem that I seem to have extreme difficulties repairing. My MBP w/ 10.4.9 was working fine, but then today suddenly I could not see any computers in my usual windows workgroup. The only person I could see was my roommate, who is also running a mac, and that displayed as his IP address.

The strange thing is, if I plug in via ethernet, the workgroup shows up in the network list instantly, but if I switch to wireless, it is nowhere to be found. I have run out of ideas on what to check. Can any one think of any reasons why our workgroup can be seen when wired, but not wirelessly?

Thanks for the help in advance
 
nevermind

nevermind all. apparently it was all a router issue. The SECOND i unplugged the router and plugged it back in, all the workgroups were back in place. :)
