Windows Forum / Windows XP / Networking and Web / January 2006Workgroups
Our company has different workgroups. For example admin/sales/mshome. Up until about an hour ago, I (im in admin group) could view anything in the sales and mshome workgroup. Now I cannot view the sales workgroup and everyone in the admin workgroup is the same. We can still view the computers in the mshome workgroup. Does anyone know why this has happened?? >Our company has different workgroups. For example admin/sales/mshome. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Does anyone know why this has happened?? Can the users of the computers in Sales view other computers in Sales? Find out what computer is the master browser for Sales. Run browstat on a computer in Sales, and post the results. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/browstat-utility-from-microsoft.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/browstat-utility-from-microsoft.html  SignatureCheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

You might want to throw just a little detail into your answers, we're going to try to help you but you have to help us. Any idea what changed, just before Admin stopped seeing Sales? Is everybody on the same physical network? <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/background-information-useful-in.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/background-information-useful-in.html And post after my replies, please. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/how-to-post-on-usenet-and-encourage.html#T opPosting> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/how-to-post-on-usenet-and-encourage.html#T opPosting Network Neighborhood (where you see list of the other computers) is not magically created. Read about the browser. This is a long article, but do your best - it's written to help you, after all. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/04/nt-browser-or-why-cant-i-always-see.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/04/nt-browser-or-why-cant-i-always-see.html Now, if the Sales group is OK with seeing each other, then there's either a problem with the master browser in Sales (not sending the browse list to Admin), or the master browser in Admin (not receiving the list from Sales). You need to identify the master browsers. That's where browstat comes into use. Run browstat on one computer in Admin, and one in Sales.

We are all using the same physical network we just have different workgroups. I wasnt the person who set this up and I dont really know anything about networking etc, he isnt here anymore thats why I posted a message on here to see if I could received any help. Sales can see sales and admin can see admin just not each other. You talk about browsers problems, could you please tell me how to run the browser on the computer please? We have never had this problem before and we have had it up and running for months now, even when the internet goes down it still doesnt affect the workgroups. Thanks Cara >> >> >Our company has different workgroups. For example admin/sales/mshome. >> >> > [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] >> identify the master browsers.

Now when I cite articles for you to read, the instructions for what I need are in the articles, or in the articles linked from there. I use hypertext to provide assistance. Please start with this article. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/how-to-get-most-out-of-pchucks-network.htm l#Hypertext> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/how-to-get-most-out-of-pchucks-network.htm l#Hypertext What we need is "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from 1 computer in Admin, and 1 in Sales, so we can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely: <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html# AskingForHelp> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html# AskingForHelp If the Internet went down and came up, and the problem that you're reporting started happening, I'm going to bet that something happened to your network. I need to see how your network is setup, and "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" will tell us where to start.
