I'm trying to join a workgroup with Win2k3 SBS. I've set the workgroup name under the computer name tab under my computer properties. I can see the workgroup icon under 'My Network Places' but &nbsp;Windows says that the workgroup is not accessible, and that 'You may not have permission to use the network resource'.<br />
<br />
Are their some security settings in 'Computer Management' that I need to change, or add the other PC's in the network. The other PC's are Win2k. From at least one of those Win2k PC's I can access a shared folder ok on the Win2k3 machine.

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
