I got a problem with networking here. THe problem is the clients (pc name is salesc1 and salesc2) can see the server pc name in network neighborhood but when click it, it says "\\westleytay is not accesible.
The computer or sharename could not be found. Mke sure you typed it correctly, and try again."

Salesc1 can also see mslim (pc name) but same error mesg when click it.

Then, salesc1 can see salesc2 and when click to salesc2 icon, it can go to salesc2 and see the shared folder.

Then, in the server side, server can see and go to mslim.

 
I tried to acces from a pc from diffirent workgroup, can see all pc except salesc1 and salesc2.
 
You may find member Bob Linn's site ChicagoTech of help.

He notes in one multi-workgroup and domain experiment:

"If all networking computers are in the same workgroup or domain, using the same protocol, enabling file and printer sharing, and logging on the same username and password, they should be able to access each other. If they are in the different workgroups or domain, you MAY need to enable a guest account on the accessed computers (or enable simple file sharing if it is WinXP) for other machines to see them."
