Hi all,

I have more than 15 pc connected to each other as peers. you can access all

getting this message.

"Drive is not accessible to use this network resourse. Contact the

Ahmed,

What's different about this one computer? From the report that you've made, I
suspect:
# Browser conflict.
# Address / name resolution problem.
# Permissioning problem.

If you can start by providing diagnostics for say 3 computers - let's use the
computer that you're working from, one other properly working computer, and the
problem computer, I think we can advise you efficiently. Please read this
article, and relevant linked articles, and provide output from "browstat status"
and "ipconfig /all" for those 3 computers, so we can advise you effectively.

Chuck,

I assume that the network contains three pc. I have collected network
information (ipconfig , browstat) from the pc with the problem and two
others.

Ahmed,

Let's see what we know from these 3 computers.
# Node types all Broadcast, so no name resolution problem there.
# All 3 report Comp_3 as the master browser, and Server as a backup. No browser
conflict indicated.
# All 3 computers are on the 192.168.1/24 subnet.
# DHCP is not in use, but all 3 computers report the same DNS servers.
# Server unable to access registry on Comp_3, though other 2 computers have no
problem.
# No gratuitous protocols, all computers using NetBIOS Over TCP/IP.
# All 3 computers in domain Global.

Now the questions.
# All 3 browstats report 2 domains on the network. Any idea what the other
domain is?
# How about same diagnostics for Comp_3?
# Browstat run on Comp_14 reports 11 servers, the other 2 report 7. Any idea
about the discrepancy?
# Is this a domain, or workgroup? If domain, which is the DC?

Is Server the problem computer?

If they're all Windows 2000, then we can rule out Simple vs Advanced File
Sharing, but you still have firewalls, Guest only authentication, and
restrictanonymous as possible problems. These articles apply to that extent
(even if most are written with a Windows XP focus):

[Chuck]

Chuck,

there are two domains on the network which are GLOBAL currently in use and
WORKGROUP which is disused.
I haven't diagnosed comp_3 and i don't have any idea about 11,7 servers.
the network is connected as peers (workgroup not domain)
the server is the computer with the problem. The server is using Win2000
Server others win2000 pro.

any suggestions.?

Ahmed

Ahmed,

Please look at the 3 issues above, and read the linked articles. Then consider
a 4th issue:
<http://support.microsoft.com/?id=122920>

If Comp_3 is Windows 2000 Professional (not Server), and you have 11 computers
on the network, you could be at the limit. Server, as a client of Comp_3 (the
browser server) could be causing the connection limit to be exceeded. I know
you're thinking that 10 computers other than Comp_3 should be allowable, but
there are reported cases where one connection gets used by the server itself.

Let's take a look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from Comp_3, before
you make any changes to the browser structure on the LAN (below).

Since Server is running Server 2000, it should be the master browser. If you
were to power Comp_3 off, and restart Server, I would think that Server will
elect itself the master browser, and that should be that. Assuming that you
have Server running enough licenses to support your LAN, it should work as the
master browser too. Read these articles for more information:

This computer is running IPX/SPX, and connecting to itself. There's one
connection right there.

Do you need IPX/SPX? If not, un install it, at least to diagnose your problem.
