I have six locations. Five of these locations connect into my main location via VPNs over the internet. Each remote location has a SonicWall TZ170 and my main store has a SonicWall PRO2040. Each location works on a different IP scheme - IE my main location is 192.168.2.X and the remotes are 192.168.3.X, 192.168.7.X, 192.168.5.X, 192.168.6.X, & 192.168.7.X. These remote locations also work on a different workgroup - IE the main location has a workgroup of OFFICE and a domain of CLC in it's network and the remote stores have workgroups of MBC, IRDC, RTDC, SIDC, & RCDC.

How can I get these workgroups added into MY NETWORK PLACES so that all the machines are listed?

My Network Places overview

My Network Places displays shortcuts to shared computers, printers,
and other resources on the network. The shortcuts are created
automatically in My Network Places whenever you open a shared network
resource, such as a printer or shared folder.

The My Network Places folder also contains hyperlinks to tasks and
locations on your computer. These links can help you view your network
connections, add shortcuts to network places, and view computers in
your network domain or in your workgroup.

Click the Add a network place task to start the Add Network Place Wizard.

This wizard helps you to create new shortcuts to shared folders and
resources on your network, Web, and FTP servers.

If you don't have folders on a Web server already, the Add Network
Place Wizard will help you create a new folder for storing your files
online.

You can view, manage, move, copy, save, and rename the files and
folders you have stored on a Web server just as you would files and
folders stored on your computer.

When you view the contents of a folder that is stored on the Web, the
folder's Internet address is displayed in the Address bar.

Open My Network Places.

Notes

To open My Network Places, click Start, and then click My Computer.
Under Other Places, click My Network Places.

The View workgroup computers task is displayed in My Network Places
when your computer is in a workgroup and not in a domain. Double-click
this icon to narrow your search to only those computers, printers, and
resources that share a workgroup with your computer.

If your computer is connected to a workgroup that has less than 32
computers, Windows will automatically create shortcuts in My Network
Places to the shared resources in your workgroup.

To add a shortcut in My Network Places to a folder on a Web server,
the Web server must support network places.
Network places requires the Web Extender Client (WEC) protocol and
FrontPage extensions, or the WebDAV protocol and Internet Information
Services (IIS).

You must also have read and write access to the Web server.

If you are on a network, contact your network administrator for
information about available Web servers and how to access them.
