[Rickman89]

Im running 2 computers on a Linksys routed network, XPH on both, I ru
the small office network, with the same workgroup name on bot
computers, yet I cannot see other computers on the work group, and whe
I select View on Work group computers tab it says:
-------------------------------------------------
*WORKGROUP NAME* is not accessible. You might not have permission t
use this network resource. Contact administrator of this server to fin
out if you have access permissions.

The list of servers for this work group is not currently available.

Rickman, I feel your pain. I'm having the same problem
with 12 systems running XPpro. They can't see one another
or ping one anouther. I've tried changing the switch,
removing XP's firewall, everything I could think of. I've
been working on this problem for three days. For the love
of god, someone please help!

I have exactly the same Problem,
Running XP pro on 4 Systems and none of the computers see eachother
i am trying to set up file sharing etc. but only get Internet Sharing.
I am in Admin mode, have tried just about everything other than server

the support pages. I think you guys know where i am comming from. Need
help Urgently i have been on and off the case for months, the
whole aspect of networkiong is lost if you cant share files!!

Followup. Guys the problem was so simple it passed me.
Check Firewall Programs to enable your IP Range as Trusted Zones
on Home networking. ie 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.200
Do same on all PC's Hope that helps
