Cant create 2 workgroups on 1 p2p network

I have tried setting up two workgroups in a peer to peer
arrangement. 1 workgroup (which was the existing
workgroup) called Staff and the new one i put in called
Students. Both share the 1 ADLS connection.Everything on
the staff workgroups (ie PCs) can be viewed in my network
neighborhood. No problem.

When i open up network neighborhood for the student
workgroup, none can be seen. I have ensured that all
workgrouop names are the same, file and print sharing are
on etc. As soon as i rename all the student workgroup pcs
to staff, i can see all the pcs listed in network
neighborhood. Its as though i cant create a seperate
workgroup other than staff. I must be missing something
obvious. A step by step process would be great to have.

Thanks in advance

What happens if you put two or more PCs into the Students workgroup and then
walk away from them for at least 15 minutes? Does browsing work then?
