Sound like you have a computer browser problem. Try disabling the browsing service:


start-%26gt;admin tools-%26gt;services and stop the 'computer browser' service on all computers, then try again. (see attached link)





This should allow you to view the workgrou[p, you will still have to configure local users to access the shares.

Reply:Dear first make same workgroup environment for all 3 laptop. Right click My computer, than properties, than computer name and define same workgroup to all 3 laptops.


Some time firewall is making big problem to share file in same workgroup environment. So disable the firewall for temporary and check again. If it will not work than you have to restart you computers.
Reply:First of all, make sure all computers have the same OS. For instance, you will likely have problems if one computer has XP, one has 98, and one has Windows ME.





Second, you will probably have to run the network set up wizard.
