I am having a hard time figuring out why I can't view my the comptuers in my workgroup but I can manually type in their address (e.g. \\Computer\share) and access them. Everytime I try to view the workgroup computers it gives me the following error: Workgroup not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource. I have tried this with and without a firewall on, I have checked all of my network settings and made sure all of the services are running . I can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

netbios over tcp/ip has to be enabled and not blocked. netbios broadcasts is how my network places is populated Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

I've never had to do that in the past and my file sharing has worked fine. I don't know why it stopped working all of a sudden.

I solved my problem. It was with my router. Thanks for you help though, wanderer. :-)
