    I have networked 3 computers up and they were working perfectly. I just decided to change the workgroup name and gave each computer the same workgroup now, but now each computer can't see each other for some reason. Does anyone know why this is and how I can sort it out.

    just being curious but did you restart all 3 PCs when you did this? also did you configure each firewall on all your PCs to see eachothers IP address.

    Oh yeah, are you running a router?

    Firewalls dropped? Did you map the drives again, after you changed the workgroup name?
