Some computer icon not appear in My Network Places
Currently I have a problem to browse some computer by using the My Network Places :-
My PC is Win2K server, and is a Primary Domain Controller(PDC) as well, I would like to browse 1 of the PC which is running on WinXP Pro, and it is configure as 1 of the member of Peer-to-peer workgroup (example called "workgroupA") and is not a member of any domain, so when I try to browse this Computer icon thru My Network Places, it doesn't appear in "workgroupA", but I can manage to view others Computer icon in that workgroup, and others Computer icon from other workgroups and domain as well. Why is this happen ?
I have tried to use the other PC which is also a member of the WorkgroupA (running on Win95), and browse that WinXP Pro PC above, but still can't get it display.
Is there any limitation to form a workgroup ? For example, one workgroup only can support XX PCs....
Hope anyone who facing this kind of problem B4 may guide me how to solve it. Thank you very much.

Is the XP pro box browsable from other computers?
Maybe the ICF (default firewall in XP) prevents this box to be browsed.
