workgroup is not accessable; the network is not present or not sta

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Situation: 6 machines runnning win98 and win2k. have a wins sxerver machine
with all the addresses in it. all have shares for the entire network. all the
machines except one sees all the other shares. One machine (win2k) displays
the subject error when attempting to open network neighborhood. The other
machines can see and access this one machine's shares with no problem. on
this one machine, PING to others and the outside world works, as well as
internet access. the workgroup name for all machines has been verified
identical. the network address is not in conflict, there is no firewall
program running, malware checks have turned up no problem. Removing and
re-installing the network software has not solved the problem. NET SHARE
shows the shares available. NET USE shows "Network not present or not
started". NET START completes successfully without resolving the problem

Errors in the event log are as follows:

Workstation ---5727
SCM --- 7024
SCM --- 7001
SCM --- 7001
SCM --- 7026

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and/or directions one may offer.
