I'm on my companies workgroup (Call it XXGroup).
My house is on the home workgroup (Call it Workgroup)

I can't access any of my home machines. It worked 2 weeks
ago and doesn't work now. Not sure what changed. Any
ideas where to look ??? I just purchased a print server
and want to use it. All machines but the work machine can
see it.

You should be able to access all computer in all workgroups.

To see all of the workgroups on a network:

1. Open My Network Places.
2. Click "View network computers".
3. Press the Backspace key.

To access another computer, regardless of what workgroup it's in, type
its name in the Start | Run box preceded by two backslashes:

\\Computer
