Hi all,
I have a Win2000 Server computer with some other computer with WinXP, WinME,
Win98, etc.
I have set them all in the same workgroup called "Workgroup".
And before it worked.
But I don't know why recently, the Win2000 server cannot open "Workgroup" in
"Network Neigborhood" -> "Microsoft Network". Does anyone know why it
happens?
fix.

Hi Fix,

Not much info here to go on. The "workgroup" name that is configured on the machines is
"case sensative." So you will want to be sure they are "EXACT."

Antivirus software can cause this issue, so disable the antivirus on the server, reboot and then
see if the same issue happens.

Can also happen if the server has more than one network card. Check the binding order if you
have more than one and be sure the one to the local workgroup is bound first.

If you have more than just TCP/IP protocol on the server, then this could be the issue.

Check these things and you will most likely find you answer.

Hope this helps,
Gary
