The computer doesn't show itself in Workgroup - "Workgroup is not accessible"

Cause 2: File and Printer Sharing is not enabled

To share a fie or folder with other computers, you must enable File and Printer Sharing. To check if you enable File and Printer Sharing or not, use this command: net share on the local computer and net view \\remotehost on remote computer.

For example, to check the local computer file sharing status, do "net share" command, it may displays:


C:\Documents and Settings\blin>net share
