Short answer: It doesn't. > I know there is some mis-information out there that suggests that you > always have to be in the same workgroup, but I know that isn't true... Slightly longer answer : The concept of a windows "workgroup" is basically to tell *that* machine to hide other machines not claiming to be in that workgroup from the user because this user is much too stupid to know what he's looking at. If you think of windows as a glorified video game, it all makes sense. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com Lost interest?
