Home networking problem

[Guest]

I have a wireless home network for almost two years. The network consists of
four computers, A, B, C (a Laptop), and D (another Laptop). A is wired to a
wireless router and connected to a printer. Today, I found out that while A,
B, and C can see each other on the network group, and access each other’s
shared files, D, the laptop, is not visible in the network group and A, B and
C therefore cannot see D’s shared files.

D can still access the internet through the router connected to A

I have checked the Set up on D (Win XP Home), wireless connection and cannot
find anything wrong with it.


From the event viewer error of computers B, and C, I got the following error
message:

“The master browser as received a server announcement from the computer
Laptop that believes that it is the master browser for the domain transport
NetBt_Tcip [ E2A4A233-44ED-44A0-98. The master browser is stopped or an
election is being forced.â€

Can some one help?

Make sure firewall on D is not the problem. I would test by disabling the
firewalls. Also, if D is connected wirelessly it might have a problem if
Access Point Isolation is turned on in the router.

I use the Wireless diagnostic tool which identified the problem with the
wireless card. While it is able to perform some functions such as ping, it
cannot get an Ip address. BTW, firewall is not an issue here. Both B, and C
have wireless connections and have no problems.
I suspect the wireless card is the culprit
