Can't see networked computers any longer

Guest

I have a laptop with XP2 Home installed. I have a simple home and a simple
office network setup that I have been connecting to without problems for
several months. I have a cable modem plugged into a router with other
computers connected to the router in both home and work network. Suddenly, my
computer will not recognize other computers on the network. The network name
is Mshome. I have tried uninstalling Microsoft Windows Network and
reinstalling. On the network card, I have Client for Microsoft Networks, File
and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks, FQoS Packet Scheduler, Network
Monitor Driver, AEGIS Protocal (IEEE 802.1x) v3.1.6.0, NWLink NetBIOS, NWLink
IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol, Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
installed that has been installed from day one when I got this computer. I
have tried turning the firewall off and on. I can only see my computer on the
network.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Steve,

Start by simplifying your network stack. Remove NWLink NetBIOS and NWLink
IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol. Make sure that NetBIOS Over TCP
is enabled. Read this article with an open mind.

If no improvement, or you don't wish to do the above, provide "browstat status"
and "ipconfig /all" from each computer, so we can diagnose the problem. Read
this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely:

If you don't need IPX, you may want to remove NWlink, IPX. Can you net view \\remotepcIP?

Steve,

OK, the "ipconfig /all" looks clean. How about "browstat status", which will
show us the browser situation. When you say "I can only see my computer on the
network.", it's a browser problem.

Note that this sort of problem (and many like you have experienced these
symptoms) is most easy to diagnose when observed from multiple computers, maybe
2 computers that CAN see each other.

The node-type is causing you not to be able to resolve names.


( 'Peer-Peer' is actually someone at MS's incorrect decoding of the
'P-P',which actually means Point to Point in this context.) What this
actually means is 'use only a WINS server', which you won't have.


In this case, go to Start | Run | regedit.
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters


If either of the following values are present, delete them:


NodeType;
DhcpNodeType.


Then re-boot.


This should cause the node type to default correctly.
( the node type will usually report as 'Unknown' in the default case. )


For futher details, see this article:
