I have a network of 5 computers running various versions
of Windows from 95 to XP. I have a problem with a new
computer running Windows 2000 in that it cannot see the
other computers in the workgroup. I can ping the other
computers OK. The other computers call all see the 2000
machine but a login name & password is required to see the
shared areas on the 2000 computer. With XP I can supply a
name Administrator and get onto the 2000 machine.

Is anyone able to help?

Thanks

You must use a logon account / password on each of
your machines that is also defined on the Win2000 PC.
If you don't then Win2000 security won't let you in!
