One PC on my workgroup can't find the list of servers for
the workgroup. I've tried the following solution without
success:
[ 1. On the desktop, right-click My Network Places, and
then click Properties.
2. Right-click the appropriate connection, and then
click Properties.
3. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click
Properties.
4. Click Advanced, and then click WINS.
5. If you are using a static Internet Protocol (IP)
address, click Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. If you have a
DHCP-assigned IP address, click Use NetBIOS setting from
the DHCP server.
6. Click OK in the open dialog boxes to close them
and to save the new settings.

If this procedure does not resolve the difficulty, force a
browser election by restarting all computers in the
workgroup. ]

Any ideas on how to correct this problem?
