In prep for setting up printer sharing on an "Windows XP Home" computer, I wanted to see what showed up in the workgroup (MSHOME) under MS Windows Network.

I was surprised to get an error message "the list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available"!!

I checked that message on Google and all the responses I looked at seemed to focus on not being able to see a remote computer on the LAN in the same workgroup.

Any ideas what I can do?

Is the fact that the user account doesn't have a password relevant? If so, why?

Again, this is a problem on a single computer -- I hadn't gotten to sharing anything.

Incidentally, this computer's connection to the Internet works flawlessly.

Thanks.
