    How come I can see files of another workgroup?

    I don't understand this...

    For some odd reason I can still view the files of the other computers on our LAN.

    We have a total of 4 computers on our network. Three of the computers are on the same workgroup.

    However, the computer I'm on uses a different workgroup name. But for some reason I can still view the files of the other computers that are on the other workgroup.

    I don't understand this. Does this have something to do with NetBIOS? I don't remember installing the NetBIOS/NetBEUI protocol (is it enabled by default or something?)

    Please help. I don't want to be able to view the other workgroup's files and I don't want those computers to view my files and vise versa...

    I figured I was on a different workgroup (since I specified a different workgroup name).

    Why is this?

    Any help would be appriciated (I use Windows XP btw)
