Re: Cannot see workgroup computers

Do you mean "can't see" under Network in Explorer or something else?

In Start, Run, key \\othercomputername and press Enter. What happens?

If you haven't already, try enabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP (network connection
Properties, Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), Properties, Advanced...,
WINS).

Vista can interoperate with XP and 2003 computers that do not have the LLTD
Responder installed. Adding the LLTD Responder
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en)
will allow XP computers to appear in the "Network Map", but is not required
for "normal" interoperability.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
