Hi, Fellow Nairalanders,

I have about 12 computers on my network. All are running on Windows 2000.

I tried accessing the network from a particular computer (computerA) that is by doubling clicking My Network places then computers near me or entire network and the message i receive is:
<workgroup> not accessible
network not present or not started

However i can access that particular computer from other computers on the network, but the reverse is not possible.

I have tried ping the computer name and the ip. They are all replying, but the problem still persist.

Please can somebody help me out.

Try double backslash followed by the ip address of the computer in question.

For example, if the ip address is 10.0.0.2, go to Start->Run and enter "\\10.0.0.2\" to access the shared folders.

hi Seun

I have tried it. But it keeps saying:
<workgroup name> not accessible
network not present or not started

Please is there any other solution.
