WOrkgroup Computers not visible through "my network places"

[Guest]

Hi

I am having a lot of trouble seeing workgroup computers via "my network places"; Intermitantly, the machines do not even see themselves. Often, I get an error when clicking on the workgroup name in My Network Places>Entire Network>Microsoft Windows Network>[workgroup name]. "[workgroup name] is not accessible. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available

The 2 machines are connected by a linksys router/access point. Both are running W2k. I have a laptop running SP3 and a desktop running SP4. They are able to ping each other and i can RUN each using either the unc name or the ip. Why can't tthe machines see eachother

Any words of wisdom out there?
