How many computers do you have in each workgroup? Following Microsoft the number shouldn't be more than 15. Ask everybody restart computer and you'll be fine. The problem is that not everybody shutdown computer properly. Make right click on Network Neighborhood, click Properties, highlight File and print Sharing, click Properties. Disable Browse Master on most computers and you'll be fine.

Good luck,
Alex
