[AccessD] OT: can't see workgroup

Anything in the event log (run EventVwr) about a forced election of the
master browser (if I recall the correct terminology)? Any other routers on
the network that might be trying to be the DHCP controller?

Have you shut all the systems down, waited twenty minutes or so and booted
them all back up?

All shot's in the dark, but might help.

Are you using Software Firewalls on the systems. I have had problems with
that on my home network. When I deactivate the firewalls and I can see the
other systems.
