Thanks Unk,
I do not have zone alarm, i have Norton. On all machines, the rules are that all traffic is allowed within internal network.

Hello,

I have a simple home network (3 pcs + 1 notebook). All running Win XP SP2 Pro.
When i try to browse the workgroup I get the error " The list of servers for this workgroup is currently not available"

Doing Net View in command window gives me system error 6118.
When i do a search for computers it is possible to find some of them. One computer does not show up. Individually i can connect to a shared resource on a computer but not via network places

I can ping all computers without problems.
I use wireless networking.

What could be wrong with mu setup?
I have done some googling but what came up did not help me.

Thanks

Aivars

See if Zone Alarm is running on any of the machines. If yes, try turning it off.
If that works, change ZA's "Internet Zone Security" to Medium.
