"The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently avaliable"

[Fast_Rider]

I'm running SBS 2000 with a mix of XP & 2000Pro machines.
Whenever I try to browse Network Neighborhood from any
clients i get the message: DOmain is not accessible. You
might not have permission to use this resource. Contact
the administrator of this server to find out if ytou have
access permissions. "The list of servers for this
workgroup is not currently avaliable". The message is just
a bit differt on 2000 machines but basically the same. Can
anyone help me out???

System error 6118 has occurred. The list of servers for this workgroup is
not currently available
SYMPTOMS: 1) After enabling ICS/ICF, you can't see any computes on My
Network places. If you try, you may get "workgroup is not accessible". 2) If
you use the net view command, you may receive "System error 6118 has
occurred. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently
available." message.
Resolutions:
1) This behavior can occur if you enable the ICF that will closes the ports
for file sharing by default. To open these ports, right-click the network
connection that is firewall protected> Properties>Advanced>Settings>Service
Tab>Add, Enter 127.0.0.1) for the required Internet Protocol (IP) number.
Enter UDP ports from 135 through 139, and TCP ports from 135 through 139 one
by one (the external and internal port numbers should be identical).
2) This may occur if the workgroup name and the domain name are the
different.
3) No master browser. Starting Computer Browser Service on one of w2k/xp
computers should fix the problem

Does the ipconfig/all show that all is pointing to your server-IP?
How many nics in the server? If 2 and you're using RRAS, make sure you've
done the regedits in 292822.
