Browsing Network Folders Causes problems

Dear All,

Recenlty, when I'm browsing network folders, either from a shortcut on my
desktop, or putting in \\computername in explorer.exe, sometimes it will
just sit there, and I'll have to endtask explorer.exe or only before I had
to reset the machine as it locked up.... or it actually caused my machine to
reset...

it has me stumped......Any reg settings or network setting I can check,
maybe a program I've recenlty installed (I've installed a few over the past
few days) might have changed something.....

I've switch "Computer Browser" in services to Manual (as a website suggested
it)

I've also see in the Event Viewer "The browser was unable to retrieve a list
of servers from the browser master \\SERVER on the network \Device\NwlnkNb.
The data is the error code. Event ID 8021"

Can anybody point me in the right direction, before I opt for the easy way
out and do a re-install from a ghosted image...

Regards
Paul.

Paul,

Get rid of IPX/SPX, unless you're using it (then you don't need NetBT). Use one
or the other, not both, and be consistent!
