I am trying to view all the computers on my workgroup. I setup the computer like another computer that is able to see them when they go to my network places. What happens is when i try to browse for printers it will not show me the liston my network, and when i try to view other computers in my workgroup, it says i have to contact the network admin, and i am the network admin. I gave the PC and the user rights on the server, which is not setup as a domain(FYI). I am just stumped why i am able to type in the info for each pc to connect to it and i am able to access their info, but i am not being able to view them all as a list. Any help would be much appreciated.

The exact error message i am receiving is
"Workgroup is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

Network path was not found."


But as i said i gave this computer access, i looked at another computer with those rights and pretty much copied the settings.

Have you got WINS or DNS enabled on the server and being pushed out to clients?

No, scratch that, if it works on other computers that is not the root of the problem, but would probably fix it.

Are they all in the same workgroup, and on the same subnet as the others?
