Hey, I'm integrating two new laptops into a
Win95/win98/unix server environment. There are currently 3
workgroups set up.

I can get the new systems to find one workgroup, but that's
it. How do I get the others to show up?

Thanks!

sounds like name resolution issue. if you don't have WINS server, you may
want to use netbios over tcp/ip.

Greetings Ed,

You can only configure one workgroup at a time but you
can still access other computers in all workgroups in
Windows networking. When you click 'View Workgroups' you
only see computers in the same workgroup and when you
press the Backspace button and you'll see other
computers.

Click to expand...

In My Network Places:

1. Click "View workgroup computers" to see computers in your own
workgroup.

2. Press the Backspace key to see all of the workgroups.

3. Click a workgroup to see the computers in it.

You can drag a workgroup from that window and drop it on your desktop
to create a shortcut to the workgroup.

You can access another computer directly, regardless of what workgroup
it's in, by typing its name in the Start | Run box in this form:

\\computer
