What goes this mean and does it ahve anything to do with
the fact I cannot browse the workgroup?

"Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your

Network neighborhood is a NetBios application and does not use DNS.
That said, do you have ISA or any other firewall on the DC?

"Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your
computer network. Return value (59)."

Here is a comment from eventid.net
Value: 59 - "An unexpected network error occurred." - This may happen if you
have a firewall between your domain controller (or installed on the DC
itself) and a workstation that is trying to connect to it. I noticed this
while using Norton Internet Security 2002 on a domain controller and after
that the network became very slow and the eventviewer filled with these
events.
