[dba-Tech] WorkGroup problem

Arthur,

Try clicking start then run and type \\192.168.xx.xx (the correct IP 
address) or \\pcname that you are trying to connect to. If it connects it 
will open Explorer and you can copy the files. Probably soon after that you 
will see that computer in network neighborhood.

HTH

Subject: [dba-Tech] WorkGroup problem


I have four boxes on my home network. All of them were set up in a 
workgroup, but for some reason my main box cannot see two of the machines, 
and those two machines cannot see the other two machines. They all have the 
same workgroup name and they all have a user called Arthur with the same 
password.

Would it perhaps work if I removed the workgroup from all four boxes, or 
simply changed its name, or anything else. I really need to copy about 30 GB 
to one of the machines that I cannot see yet.

TIA,
Arthur
