[AccessD] OT: can't see workgroup

Figured so but thought it was worth a shot. The Windows Built in
Firewall too? I had that and Sygate both running on my main machine
for months before I looked at it. Didn't seem to cause any problems.
My problems was - and continues to be the Norton Firewall on one of my
other systems - royal pain in the back side - I have to turn that
firewall OFF on that system every time I first use a mapped drive from
another system. I like the Sygate firewall quite a lot and I really
should dump that Norton one and put Sygate on the other machine as
well. Just need to find the time......

Good luck solving your problem. 

I wonder, if  the software firewalls logging would show your attempts
to see the other systems? Might help to show what is going on? Or
maybe the router's logging function if it has one may shed some light
on if the attempts to see the other systems is getting that far or is
being stopped inside of your individual systems?
