Workgroups Are Not Grouped In W7 Like XP?

Nov 11, 2009

I used the “at work” option to setup my workgroup during installation,

we are peer to peer without domain. In XP Pro I'm used to clicking on "my network places", then clicking on "view workgroup computers" to see my group, now I don't see a workgroup option it just expands every computer in the system without grouping them, very frustrating to wait for them to load then scroll thru them all to try to find a computer in my group. Any help with this?

Can't See Both Workgroups

Dec 10, 2009

On Xp, the following was a 30-second job: on Windows 7 I've spent hours and got nowhere....

My main workgroup is "bp" and that is what my main Windows 7 PC is joined to. I also have a QNAP NAS which is on a workgroup called "nas". On XP, I could see both workgroups easily by browsing the Windows networks, but on Windows 7 it only shows me the workgroup that the Windows 7 PC is part of - not the other workgroup on the network.

So how do I browse all networks on the newsgroup ?

All I want to do is access the NAS drive, which is at TS109iiMultimedia but even I type that into the 'Map Network Drive' box it asks me for user name & password. As far as I know there is none, and I certainly didn't those to access it from XP.
