This is driving me crazy ... I just upgraded my Win2K system to XP Pro
(almost exclusively so I can get remote desktop).

When I was using Win2K, I had a small workgroup setup and working fine.
Now that I have XP installed, I am getting the error "<workgroup> is not
accessible ...".

I have Netbios over TCP/IP enabled, the builtin firewall is disabled, no
other firewalling software is installed, and the workgroup worked fine
before.

I have reviewed the MS kb article
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318030, but nothing there seems to apply.

My network consists of my XP pro system, my wife's Win2K system, and a
linux system running Samba. All in the same workgroup.

I AM able to map drives directly to other systems and access them via a
share. I just can't browse the workgroup.

Any suggestions on a next step for troubleshooting?

Thanks!
