Unable to browse network

Hi,

I have 3 XP systems on a network. My already mapped network drives are able
to access the network shares on other systems and also synchronise the
offline files. But I am unable to browse the network in Network Places
under Microsoft Windows Network. The workgroup name show but when I click
on that, the response after many secs is "workgroup is not accessible. You
might not have permission to use this network resource" And I use Admin
user.

I suspect there may be some service which may not be running on the system.
But i dont want to mess around with that. Any clues on that please?

thanks
ramesh

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.
