I have 5 computers all on the same LAN and all have the same workgroup. One of the computers of the 5 doesn't show up on the network, eventhough the workgroup is the same. Can anyone help?

Edit: I need to have all the computers visable for filesharing purposes.
 
Umm, more information, such as the operating systems for each machine would help greatly. Maybe a sticky should be added specifying that when requesting this kind of help, there is some very basic info that should be included. Then again I doubt any one would take the time to read it.
 
I agree about the info, but you don't need the computer visible in the workgroup to be able to copy files to/from it. Assuming some or all of these are XP, do you have simple file sharing disabled? If not, disable it. That fisher price crap is useless. Give us the OSes involved, IP address scheme, how they are physically connected, etc.
