Steve,

One of the most common causes of this problem ("The list of servers for this
workgroup is not currently available.") would be a misconfigured or overlooked
personal firewall, but there several are other possibilities. What antivirus
product do you use? Read this article, with an open mind, and consider all
possibilities.

If no help yet, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer, so we can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely:
