My Laptop is not showing in Network, but it is Pinging on all the Pcs which are in Network. I can browse Internet also, but can't able to see other network pcs.

Right click on the network icon in the system tray and click on " View available networks."

Click on the button advanced.

It will take the user to the "Wireless networks" tab of the wireless area connection properties window.

Select the entry in the preferred network and delete it,

Select the entry in the "Available networks " and click on configure.

In the configuration window select the Data encryption as WEP and Network authentication as Open system,

Click on the TAB Authentication and uncheck the check box which says "Enable 802.1x authentication."
