Re: Master browser conflict

Setting the registry entry for MaintainServerList to False in the XP solved
the master browser conflict. However the XP still can't see the network. It
can get to It can get to My Network Places\Entire Network\Microsoft Windows
Network\Domain Name.

At that point it retnrs the message stating. "DomainName is not accessible.
You Might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the
administrator to find out if you have access permissions. The list of
servers for this workgroup is not currently available"

The XP can ping the server and read the server using Net View.

What would be causing this? This machine was running fine for over a year
until just recently.

thanks,

Andy
