One of my XP computers has developed a problem that appears to be DNS
related. Initially I was unable to see the Workgroup computers in My
Network Places (clicking on "View workgroup computers." After going
through the "Set up a home or office network" wizard again, I can see
the networked computers, but clicking on the icons gives an "U\\computer
is not accessible" error.
If I browse to the networked computer with the IP address (Start | Run
\\192.168.1.xx), everything works fine. The problem is not just reaching
the one computer, it is with all networked computers.) Therefore, it
seems to me that something in connection with DNS is hosed on the
computer. (It is set for DHCP. All other computers are able to browse
the other computers with no problem.)
Here is what I have tried, without success:
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
nbtstat -RR
Remove and install Client for Microsoft Networks
Remove and install File and print sharing
The windows firewall is turned off, and no other firewall is installed.
I cannot identify any relevant errors in Event Viewer. All Automatic
Services are started except IPSEC Services. When I try to start it, it
spits up with Error 1747.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem? (I was going to remove
and install Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), but it is grayed out.)
