My workgroup was working fine with 2 XP Pro and 1 OSX systems on small lan -
with wireless router/dsl. Now I get an error every time I try to see the
computers in the workgroup:
"Workgroup is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you
have access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available"
Yes, I am admin and have permissions. I am using Trend 06, firewall settings
have not changed from when local file sharing was working.
Checked out PChuck's website - loads of good info there. Below are my
ipconfig, netconfig and browstat info. I think the problem may lie in the
browstat... somehow something is goofy there... but how to fix it?

Beth,
To be useful, you need to run these diagnostics from each computer. When
everything is working, some diagnostics might be duplicated. In your case, you
need to see what clues you can. Both XP Pro computers, please. Having an OSX
system in the mix might be interesting.
Also, how about CPSServ from both XP computers. Download PSTools (free).
