A computer in any workgroup can access a computer in any workgroup. How does one access computers in different workgroups? Thanks! To access another computer in any workgroup, type the other computer's name in the Start | Run box in this format: \\computer To see all of the workgroups on a network in Windows 98: 1. Click Network Neighborhood. 2. Click Entire Network. To see all of the workgroups on a network in Windows XP: 1. Click My Network Places. 2. Click "View workgroup computers". 3. Press the Backspace key. Then, click a workgroup to see the computers in that workgroup, and click a computer to see its shared resources. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
