Hi, If you are having the Active Directory domain for maintaing it network then you have to keep information about the computer domain i.e. which domain your computer belongs too. Which will allow the access of other computer in a workgroup. Right Click on the My computer. Go to the properties and then to the "System".If you are connected to a domain then you will find the name of the domain under the workgroup setting. Thats It!!!!!!!!
