- Cannot find workgroup computer
- Posted by lindsaylou17 on January 13th, 2008
Hello
Using XPSP2, I set up my workgroup, but on one of my computers when I click
on my workgroup computers nothing happens. I also cannot view this computer
on my other computer.... Any suggestions?
thanks in advance

You could look at logs from "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config
server", and "net config workstation", from each computer, and diagnose the
problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely (download browstat!):

I am also not currently using any firewalls, I have spysweeper installed, but
my subscription ran out last week and I have not had a chance to renew it,
could this be a problem?

I don't think that SpySweeper is an anti-virus, but maybe it contains an
anti-worm protection. Did you observe the problem about the same time that the
SS subscription ran out? Have these computers worked before that time?

That being the case, let's start with diagnostics, as I suggested above in my
