Start from the beginning.

You need only the following items in the Properties window to "see the various
workgroups":
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks
QoS Packet Scheduler (optional)
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Next, from the Properties windows, select TCP/IP - Properties - Advanced - WINS
tab. Select Default, or Enable, for NetBIOS setting.

Now, do all computers have connectivity with each other - that is, can you ping
each computer, by ip address, successfully?

Finally, from Windows Explorer - Network Neighborhood (My Network Places) -
Entire Network - Microsoft Windows Network, do you see everything? If not,
there are more things to check. But you have to start with the above items.

Cheers,
Chuck
