I'm Back
On one of the systems I get this message when attempting to "View Network Computer", under Network Tasks..
"Work group is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."

Hmmm. I am listed as administraor under my user account.

Any ideas
Thanks in advance
Bill

Do you have the same workgroup names on each pc?

Have you enabled File + Print Sharing?

Are you running a firewall?
