Normally when I open NetNeighborhood/workgroup I seen the 8 objects on my
LAN. This am during coffee, I open the NN/workgroup window on this machine
and I only see 3 objects. I see my printer, my server and my NAS. I do NOT
see any of my 5 LAN clients; and all of my LAN clients run
WinXPproSP3.........hmmm.
The glitch seems to be limited to just this 1 client because I can go to
the 4 other XP clients and still see all 8 "workgroup" clients! I can even
open the shares of the client with this glitch. I suppose one of my Gbit
switches could be flakey, but everyone else works fine.
Other than having 5 clients invisible to me, this machine seems to run
completely normal as far as I can tell.
Have googled all morning and found nothing yet conclusive yet. Researched
the normal winsock repair commands and even managed to create the winsock
catalog of this machine. It looks normal to me, but then I may not know how
to interpret the dot-txt file I created.
I did see mention of a "NetDiag" tool from M$ in something called
Supplemental Tools, but I have not yet found a valid link to same.....
I've dug around inside this machine as far as I know. Nothing found
yet. See nothing odd in the event log either. ESET, MalwareBytes, and
SpybotS&D all run; nothing found.
Ideas? Suggestions appreciated.......
Best,
Duncan
