We're creating a new Vlan at my work. We're running OS 10.2.6 and 10.3.4. The Network is of course all PC's except our department. When I try and connect to server and go from one Mac to another via our Workgroup, I can only mount the other computer's shared directory (not all the connected volumes). If I connect to that same computer through the "Local" group I can see all it's connected volumes. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

clarify a couple of things:
is the server you want to connect to a Mac OS X server and you try to use WINS to discover the server?
does this happen on both Macs and PCs connecting over smb? Have you tried specifying a path on the clients? What happens then?

on the osx clients, use smb://serveripaddress/sharepoint
on pcs, use \\serveripaddress\sharepoint

Do you get an authentication dialogbox?
