I have a small network with some WinXP workstations and some Win2000
Professional workstations. The WinXP workstations work properly and can
view all other workstations on the network. But the Win2000 workstations
get the error "Workgroup is not accessible. The network path was not
found." when I try to scan the network for devices in Network Neighborhood.

All workstations have TCP/IP installed and in advanced settings I have
checked "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP". What could be causing these problems?
 
Can you ping the XP workstatoins from the W2K ones? Can you map a drive
using the IP of the XP instead of the name? If so, most likely a DNS issue.
Also make sure you don't have any firewalls running.
 
The XP workstations can see the Win2000 workstations. It is only on the
Win2000 workstations that I get the error. It can not see other Win2000 or
WinXP workstations?

All workstations are plugged into a router/network hub device.
