OK, so ,…. Oops .. think I clicked send before reading the entire issue. If you cannot browse the workgroup probably a browser issue, do you have browmon or browstat to see who the master browser might be ?
Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event ! ' From: James Kerr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 3:38 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Cant Browse workgroup 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 <file:///\\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.
