I have computers A and B connected in workgroup. When
both are on, "show workgroup computers" lists A and B.
When A is off, B shows only itself. But when B is off,
error message appears on A, "server not accessible."
Why? Workgroup functions otherwise, but this drives me
bananas. Any suggestion? Thanks. Lou.
 
Check to see which computer is your Master Browser. I
would guess that it is computer B because when B is off
you have no Master Browser.
 
Thank you, Cindie! How do I check out the "Master
Browser"? (You see, I'm not a great expert...). Lou.
 
Hi again, Cindie! I figured it out - and GUESS WHAT? It
works like a charm! Computer Browser A was set
to "Manual" and "Stopped." I set it to "Automatic"
and "Started." Oh glory be! Always learn something new!
You're an angel. Lou.
