At our office we have a small combination wired and wireless network. One
laptop can connect to the network either wired or wireless, it can find web
sites on Internet Explorer, but it cannot view the other PCs or use the
printers connected to these PC. When I go to My Network Places and click on
“view Workgroup Computers� I get the following error message, “[workgroup
name] is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you can
have access permissions. The list of servers for this workgroup is not
currently available.� The only “user� on this PC has administrative
privileges. The firewall has be disabled. Our system is a Workgroup and not a
Domain, so there is no administrative control over the entire system. All the
other PC on the system can “see� each other.

I need to get this PC “seeing� the other PCs.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ted

This newsgroup supports Microsoft's Broadband Networking hardware and
software, not work environment networking. You might try asking your IT
manager or whoever is in charge of the network.
