Hi,

I have established the Network WorkGroup on two PCs..

On each computer I can see the workgroup user, but
I cannot see the other computer user.

If I search it then is there! And finally is under the workgroup..

Is like my Explorer is not searching for other network users,
note that I have already checked the
"Automatically search for network folders and printers"

thanx for any advice....

Click to expand...

That setting should put shortcuts to other computers' shared folders
in My Network Places.

However, that doesn't always work. If a desired shared folder doesn't
appear in My Network Places, click "Add a network place" and add it
manually.

I'm not sure what your mean by "workgroup user" and "computer user".
The names of users (people) don't appear in My Network Places.

The names of other computers don't appear in My Network Places,
either. To see them, click "View workgroup computers".
