Put this ticket on hold. ;-)
I'm going to work on the machine at home tonight and redo the thing from
scratch and see what happens if I slap it on the network without any updates
tomorrow.

Its been a couplpe of different boxes since I started but currently its this
jennifer-pc. I thought this warning was benign and something I could ignore but
maybe not?
Event ID 8021 Source BROWSER
The browser was unable to retrieve a list of servers from the browser master
\\JENNIFER-PC on the network
\Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{C74196F3-019F-48AA-83A4-A6F508CE5DE8}. The data is the
error code.

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 ?

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.
