Finding Resources on Wireless Network

I have a ThinkPad and I use several wireless networks. How do I find other
resources on a network I use. (Printers, Other Computers, Availalbe disks
such as those containing pictures or documents.)

Right now, unless I'm told the names I can't find out what is available.
Since I do work at night, I can't be calling people for infomation.

When in My Network Places you should see 'Entire Network' or 'View Workgroup
Computers'. You will see 'Microsoft Windows Network' if you are in a domain
environment under 'Entire network'.
This should then display the workgroups available to you and the machines in
them.
By clicking on the machines you will see the resources that machine is
sharing.
This 'browser' service that keeps this list up to date can be a little
unreliable and take time to generate.
