I am currently running a Netware 5.0 based network with Win 2k client each setup using the microsoft client to do workgroup peer-to-peer networking as well as logging into the Netware servers. I have a single win2k pro system which I do not want tolog into the Netware servers but be a part of the peer-to-peer network, but is unable to browse the workgroups. Once I install the netware client and log into the netware servers (which is what i don't want to do) I can browse the workgroups fine.Any ideas??

Sounds like you had the wrong Protocol?!
Every other station uses IPX/SPX and you used TCP/IP until you installed the NWclient, which automatically requires IPX/SPX.
Delete the NWclient and install NWlink-Protocol.

TCP/IP, IPX/SPX and the NWlink protocols are running on all workstations with the expection of the Windows 2k system I am trying to peer-to-peer network with, which is only running TCP/IP
