    How to view my workgroup computers
    Whenever I try to view my workgroup computers, there always a message saying that workgroup is not accessibe. Contact your administrator... iThe same happens when I try to use printer sharing. Please help.

    Xp or vista

    Here is a couple things to check out

    Make sure your firewall has file and print sharing
    Assuming your using XP
    Start, settings, control panel, windows firewall and the exceptions tab
    Look for 'file and printer sharing' and make sure there is a check mark in box, click OK
    Open 'network connections' in control panel and in the general tab make sure check is put in file and printer sharing

    On the computer you are trying to see, are the drives shared?
    If not make sure they are
