Is Netbios over TCPIP enabled on your 2 computers. Maybe your dchp isn't sending NETBIOS settings. You can enable it manually on the two computers under your TCP/IP advance properties.

Its been on most of the units I have checked otherwise its been set to default. &nbsp;I’ve tried changing this setting but it has made no difference.<br />

I moved two non domain workstations (Workgroup computers) over to Vlan 909, modified the ip settings to work on this segment. &nbsp;I was then able to browse the local workgroup and the 2 computers could see each other as well as the other members on this Vlan. &nbsp;I then moved them back and switched the ip to dhcp and again am unable to browse the local Workgroup.<br />

Could WINS be at issue here? <br />

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).
