Hello,
I'm having some networking trouble in my WXP network. I'm using a single
workgroup named 'workgroup'. I found that, after adding a new pc to the
network, I was unable to see a list of clients in My Network Places. I am,
however, able to reach all clients by simply using '\\computername\' in
explorer's address bar, so the clients are all reachable and file and printer
sharing works perfectly. They just won't show up in the network places list.
I tried using net view, and it gave me the dreaded error 6118, mentioning
that the list of servers for this workgroup is not available. After some
troubleshooting, I decided to check the rest of the clients, and it turns out
that they all give the same error when using net view. Except for one
computer, which returns a browse list containing only itself.
I'm concluding, perhaps falsely, that for some reason no browse list is
being maintained in my network. Is this correct? What can be done about it?
What else might be wrong? Any suggestions?
