6118 System Error with xp sp2

[Guest]

I have been having some problems with viewing my workgroup computers.

I have a d-link wireless router hard wired to one pc and another pc using
the wireless. Both computers have xp home sp2, and are on the same workgroup.

When i click view workgroup computers i get an error that says that a list
of servers is unavailable and I may not have permission to access the
workgroup.

When i use the command prompt and type net view i get the 6118 error.

I pretty sure its a setting that must be fixed but i don't know what the
setting is. The file and printer sharing is an exception.

Please help!

Thanks,

Erik

Check if
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\Main
tainServerList is set to No on both machines (should be Auto).

Also on both computers check Control Panel --> Computer Name tab --> Change
button, and verify both computers belong to the same workgroup.
