I have this problem too. However I know a little more: 1. If you switch ON file sharing on you win95 box then the whole workgroup becomes visible (bizarre I know) 2. I have read that for Lanmanager (similar?) there must be at least one other m/c in the workgroup for the group to be browseable(bizarreII). I guess this is what enabling file sharing on your own m/c effectively does. If you get any further please let me know. Regards, Paul WAlsh.
