I have a network of five computers. Three of them belong to workgroup A and the other two workgroup B. How can I access the shared drives of workgroup A computers from a workgroup B computer?
Just type in \computername
Workgroups don’t matter, it’s just a convience for you if you have a large network and have to manually navigate them.
I dunno. I tried to set up a very simple wireless network between my main machine and my new laptop last night, and failed miserably, despite the “wizards”. Google tells me it’s a common error, but the solutions all advise me to start messing with settings that someone like me shouldn’t be messing with.
Thanks, It worked! BTW, is there some way to view all workgroups on the network? I managed to do it once somehow, but I can’t do it now.
Yes, there is.
From here
It seems a bit long and convoluted. I’m not on a network, and last time I was, all the computers were in the same workgroup, and before that, I was using win 98, so I can’t verify that.
