SUMMARY
Windows for Workgroups (WFWG) computers are unable to browse (view) LAN Manager 1.x server names in the Connect Network Drive, Connect Network Printer, and Select Computer dialog boxes. In addition, you cannot view servers in Workgroup Connections by using the NET VIEW \\Servername command.

This is because LAN Manager 1.x does not use domains.



MORE INFORMATION
LAN Manager version 2.0 was the first version to create domains for groups of users. Because LAN Manager 1.x does not use domains, Windows for Workgroups cannot tell that domains exist unless explicitly told. To access LAN Manager 1.x servers in Windows for Workgroups, manually type the path to the network resource in the dialog box.
