windows xp home edition on network - access denied

[Guest]

I have a W XP home edition set up on a window NT server domain. All of a
sudden it get the error message - access denied, may not have permission,
check with administrator. List of severs not available.

On my computer is downs the domain name on workgroup. I have reconnected
and get the welcome. The computer still has access to the internet and
networked printer through the its connection. When I click on view computers
in workgoup I get the error message.

Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

With XP Home, you can have it join a workgroup with the same name as the domain,
but it can't actually join a domain. If the workgroup is absolutely identical
to the domain name, the computer will use the domain browser to populate Network
Neighborhood ("view computers in workgoup"). If the workgroup name is NOT
identical, you will see that error.

Please provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from that computer, and
from 1 or 2 of the domain computers, and we can diagnose the problem. Read this
article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely:
