I've tried all the above fixes and none of them work. Then I stumbled upon my eventual
fix.
Like everyone else, i was getting the "workgroup" not available. blah blah blah blah
etc. message.
I noticed that when i ran ipconfig /all it was showing my Node Type as peer-peer,
where on all my WORKING computers it was showing "mixed"
I changed the Node Type on the non working computer to Mixed, rebooted, and WHAM.
worked like a charm.
Here's how to change node type to mixed.
run regedit.
go here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters
when you click on parameters you should have "DHCP Node Type" or just "Node Type"
(I had DHCP Node Type)
Change the value to 4 (mixed type).
Mine was 2 (Peer-Peer) on the non working machine, 4 on all my working machines.
others possible values include 1 (Broadcast) which is what Windows tries first when
in mixed type and 8 (Hybrid)

Hope this helps...
