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

Nope, nothing anywhere says Workgroup, it does in Windows XP though and I can
create a workgroup using that on another machine, but I still can't see any
machines on network aside from the machine names themselves alone.

All the computers have a different name.

How can I create a workgroup on Windows Server 2003 and/or have it see the
other machines, since there is no wizard, there is no obvious "hello, click
here to say I'm the main server, everyone else is a client."
