Workgroup not displayed with Computers near to me

[Rich Ames]

Hi fellow workgroup people,
I am having a similiar problem with two Win2K machines
connected to a Linksys 4 port router. both machines set
up on a workgroup (same workgroup name) but cannot see one
pc from the other using windows explorer. (every now an
then just be chance I am able to see one from the other
but after rebooting then it is gone)
This used to work great and now for no reason I can't
access one pc from the other. I can ping either but can't
use windows explorer to see either or share files.

How do we report this problem to Microsoft?

I am having a similar problem. Can ping and map to one another in a peer-to-peer but when going to My Network Places and opening the workgroup I get a message the Workgroup is not accessible, the network name can not be found? Any ideas.
