I have a home network (MSHOME) connected with 4 computers: C1 runs Windows 98, C2 and C3 run Windows XP, C4 runs Windows XP Professional. When I try to view workgroup computers, I can "see" C1, C2 and, C3 from all 4 computers (including C4). I cannot see C4 from any of the 4 computers. I have tried everything I can find from forums on the internet, but to no avail. The only other thing I can think of is that C4 was once a corporate computer set up to a domain. I'm not sure this is the problem, but starting from the obvious, do you have any ideas why C4 remains "invisible" on my network? (By the way, I can ping C4 just fine). Thanks, John P.

C4 must be in the same workgroup ("MSHOME," apparently) as the others, and must have an account and password in common with each of the others.
