XP workgroup help

Stevetama · 01-03-2008, 04:37 PM

All of a sudden (worked one day, not the next) my computer isn't connecting to my workgroup computers.

I can still access the internet fine, so I know my computer is getting to my company server.

But when I go to 'my network places' and then 'view workgroup computers' I get the error message

"Workgroup is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission.

The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."

Other computers on this network switch are working fine, it's just 1 computer that isn't working.

If I try mapping network drives, when I click on 'workgroup' it laggs for 1/2 minutes, then nothing happens. I have made sure that the computer is still part of the correct workgroup, which it is.

I don't know what would be causing this. Any ideas?

Do you have Norton installed by any case??
