Hi

Maybe this will help:

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur if the File and Print Service component was not
selected during the initial setup of the server or if that component is no
longer selected. When this occurs, the Server service does not bind to the
NetBIOS interface. A Windows-based computer that becomes a backup browser
but that does not have file and printer sharing turned on cannot share the
browse list with clients. Any computer that is to be included in the browse
list must also have file and printer sharing turned on.

RESOLUTION
==========

 To work around this behavior, install or turn on file and printer sharing
on Windows-based domain controllers and on any computer that is in the
browse list.

            1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click "Network and
Internet Connections", and then click Network Connections.
            2. Right-click the network connection that you want to
configure, and then click Properties.
            3. Click the General tab (for a local area connection), or
click the Networking tab (for all other connections).
            4. Make sure that "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft
Networks" is in the list of components for the connection.
               NOTE: If "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks"
is not in the list of components for the connection:
                a. Click Install.
        b. Select the Service check box, then click Add.
        c. In the Manufacturers box, click Microsoft.
        d. In the Network Services box, click "File and printer sharing for
Microsoft Networks", and then click OK.
            5. In the list of components for the connection, make sure that
"File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" is selected, and then
click Close or OK.
            6. Click Close or click OK.
