Strange network problem ...

[kuk]

Well, since I re-installed Windows 2000 on this computer, I haven't been able to browse my network. Everything was fine before the format, but now it's a no go.

The network is working. I can share my internet account, and the other computer can access this one's hard disk. But it doesn't work the other way around; this computer isn't able to access the other computer's hard disk.

When I double click "Entire Network" or "Computers Near Me", under My Network Places, I get an error saying that "Workgroup is not accessible. The network is not present or not started". When I check under the Network Identification tab in System Properties, I can't edit the name of my workgroup; everything is grayed out.

Any ideas about what is happening here? 🙁

Make sure workgroup name is the same.

That's one of the problems. The Workgroup name box is grayed out. 🙁

Maybe then you've set your system to try to login to a domain?

Domain too is grayed out ...
