Yes, I tried changing the global name of the workgroup.  No difference.

Not sure of the answer, but there is one thing that always puzzles me...
Why do people call their workgroups, WORKGROUP? In all my years of IT I
have never seen a domain called DOMAIN, why workgroup WORKGROUP? 

Maybe it is just me.

Idea,

What if you change the name of the workgroup on 2 computers? Will they
see each other then? Or do you get the same error?

XP Pro workstations and a W2K server in a remote workgroup -- after
applying SP1 and a couple of other recent hotfixes, the ability of the
XP machines to interoperate in a workgroup seems to have gone south. The
error is "The workgroup WORKGROUP is not available..."  I'm still
researching and testing, but wondering whether anyone might of run into
this...
