I have several computers networked. All of them can
access the other computers. However, two of the
computers share their printing resource. To access these
to computers, I must manually type in the network address
because they don't appear in My Network Places. All of
my computers are in the same workgroup, so this delimna
baffles me. I need to fix this so that it is easier for
the users of the computers. It has stumped me for quite
a long time. So, my question is, how do I get these
computers to show up?
 
sounds like browser issue. use browstat.exe to troubleshoot.

I've got the same problem.
If I fresh boot all the computers on my workgroup the CAN
see each other (usually). After a while though they loose
the ablity to "View Network COmputers". Trying to do so
times out with an error message about not being able to
access the network a this time. The message ends
with "The list of servers for this workgroup is not
currently available."

Please post a fix or explination if you find one
