Too many pcs in View workgroup Computers

Andrew S. · 01-04-2006, 08:07 PM

I have just renamed 2 pcs in a workgroup. However when I click on view Network Computers the old names and icons are still there along with the new ones. How do I get rid of the old ones?
The new ones are networked ok and everything else is fine.

This problem has now disappeared with the installation of another new router, although Netgear continue to have quality control problems.
The settings configuration part of the install disk was all in German with no other language options in sight.

It takes time for computers to disappear from the workgroup. Are you having another issue?

I did have another problem - the router would not respond to the reset button. I don't fight things these days I just politely return them.
