Re: Can't see other computers/nodes on network!

No. The workgroup name must be different from all computer names, all
computers should by joined to the same workgroup, and all computer names
must be unique. In Windows Server 2003 you can change the computer name and
workgroup name in System Properties, Computer Name tab. No wizard is
necessary.
