The symptoms you're experiencing could be caused by anything from lingering firewall/ICS issues to DNS problems. Without being able to look at your machine, I can't honestly tell you where the best place to start would be.
Many of the different possible causes for the error(s) you're receiving are covered in the links below; please try the suggested fixes and repost here with the exact details and results of your troubleshooting:
(Note that some suggestions involve installing IPX/SPX; do not do this.)

Please do not contact me by email or PM for help. We're all volunteers here, and only have so much free time to dedicate to our efforts.
However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.

Ok I think I got it. I had to change a setting in Norton Firewall that was blocking windows file sharing. I restarted my computers and both can view the workgroup.
Good work- glad you were able to find the right configuration.

I have similar problem to APEX-jb. In the thread DMR gives a list of commands and it is at #5 referring to setting up shared folders on each machine and from a DOS prompt type
”net view IP addresss of computer #2” This is where I get hung up. I get two error messages: on computer #1 – “Windows cannot find the network path. Verify that the network path is correct and the destination computer is not busy or turned off. If windows still cannot find the network path, contact your network administrator.”
on computer #2 – “The workstation service has not been started. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2138.” “The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.”
I preformed steps 1-4 with no problems. Have I missed something?
