[dba-Tech] WorkGroup problem

Whenever I have this problem, I go in to the desktop my network and say
install network firing up the wizard.  It does so and I give it my workgroup
name and it goes away, comes back.  Reboot.  See who sees what now.  Go to
the next machine, do the same.  

I know, it shouldn't be this way but that works for me.

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
