Re: windows xp pro networking problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hello,
I can add that if i manually edit c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file and put an entry to the computer manually i.e., ipaddress and corresponding name then ping and net view by computer name works OK. When there is not such an entry for this particular computer net view and ping by name fails
On other computers these commands work without their names/addresses being put into hosts file.
Thanks

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
