Hi Screwed,
How about changing the computer to another workgroup and change computer
name back to the current workgroup?
Thanks & Regards,

| Well, here's a recap of what I have tried so far.
|
| 1: Made sure that restrictanonymous is set to 0 on all systems (it was)
| 2: Made sure that the Hidden Parameter was set to 0 (it was)
| 3: I Uninstalled/Reinstalled the "File and Printer Sharing Service" under
| the Properties of my LAN network connection as per EPGeeks post.
| 4: Did the registry hack to force Node Type to Broadcast instead of
Unknown
| on the XP Pro SP2 system.
| 5: Turned off the Firewall (only the Windows Firewall from XP is
installed,
| no third party Firewalls).
| 6. Changed the NetBios setting to NetBios over TCP/IP.
| 7: Disabled the Computer Browser Service on all but two systems to avoid
any
| Master Browser conflicts
| 8: Ran the ipconfig/browstats as requested (see previous posts for those
| results)
|
| After all of this the situation is now as follows.
|
| The XP Pro SP2 system can see all 2k and XP SP1 systems at all times in
| Network Places. After approximately 20 to 30 minutes (this seems to have
| gotten longer after all of the changes I have made) it hides from the
other
| systems and even itself in NP. It can be found using the Search for
| Computers after that, but it takes 10 to 30 seconds for each drive to
open
| instead of the almost instantaneous opening it had when visible in NP.
All
| drives and files on the XP Pro SP2 system are available with no
Permission
| or Access issues from the other systems. Standby and Hibernation are not
| active and no Screen Saver is kicking in. There is no AV on the system
as
| it does not have Internet Access (all outside files are checked on my
Laptop
| prior to being put on this Network).
|
| The XP Home SP2 Laptop behaves the same as the above. This one does have
| Grisoft AVG Free installed and regularly updated. It does have Standby
and
| Hibernation enabled when it's on Battery Power (but not when on AC) and
the
| Screen Saver does kick in either way. It doesn't matter if it's on
Battery
| or AC, it will hide either way.
|
| When the two SP2 systems hide from Network Places they hide from ALL
| systems, including themselves. Only the Win2K and the XP SP1 systems are
| visible in Net Places.
|
| Following are the ipconfig and browstat readouts of the six systems

| At this point I am stumped and not sure of what to try next. I'll try to
| run the CDiag on the systems to see what that tells me. Other than that
I'm
| beginning to think the only solution is to reformat the XP Pro SP2 system
| and install SP1. I can live with the Laptop hiding, but I really need to
| have proper access to the other SP2 system. I have no idea what the heck
MS
| did to SP2 to screw it up like this, but it's obvious that they did
| something wrong (like that never happened in the past).
|
| If anyone has any other ideas I'm all ears, but if I can't get this
resolved
| in the next few days I'm going to have to just bite the bullet on this
one
| and do it the hard way (re: SP1). Too bad my Laptop came with SP2
| preinstalled making it impractical to install SP1 on it.
