Browsing the lan via My Network Places has nothing to do with group
membership. Now accessing is a different story and that all depends on
permissions granted to shares on the computer offering the share.
Permissions are assigned at both the share level and via ntfs permissions on
the local computer that the share is created on. To access a resource on
another network computer the user will also need his user account/password
on the computer offering the share. --- Steve

Thanks Steven, but:
- it's a p2p lan with no password for any resource;
-computers are win2ksp4, win98se, win311
- If I search for computer's names as nomral userI can't find real name
but something like "//:computername" and I can't browse inside.Also I can't
see anything starting from My Network Places.
-Setting us user us poweruser resolve any problems.

Thanks again for your time

For the shares you are trying to access, see if regular users group has permissions
to the share in folder properties/security. The link below may help. --- Steve
