Ive also tried changing the computer name, removing it from the workgroup and back again. Why oh why won't this guy buy a damn server for his nightmare network? I think I'm just gonna pickup the machine and do another bare metal install. ----- Original Message ----- From: James Kerr To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 3:49 PM Subject: Re: Cant Browse workgroup
Yes, and its running on most of the PCs on the network, which is the only
errors I see in the logs are related to computers fighting over who is the
browser but those are benign errors that can be ignored as far as I know.

Have a PC with a new installation of XP Pro, updated to the most recent
Windows updates. Its on a peer to peer network with a mix of XP, Vista home and
business and 7. I can ping other computers by their name, I can put
\\computername and see the shares on the other PCs but what I can do is click
on "view workgroup computers", I just get an error stating " Workgroup is not
accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact
the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The network path was not found".
NetBIOS over TCP is enabled
File sharing and client for microsoft networks are checked
Microsoft client is using Windows Locator
Simple file sharing is disabled (still had the problem when it was.)
There are no other networking protocols enabled, just tcp/ip.
Anyone have any ideas because I'm about out of them and I've been doing
some serious googling. I may just do another bare metal install if I can't get
this thing going soon.
