Here are the different processes and results:
1. Windows + E to open Explorer. Click on M.N.P. Nothing
displayed.
2. Double-click M.N.P. Nothing displayed.
3. In Windows Explorer, right click M.N.P. and choose
Explore. Entire Network displayed.
4. Right-click M.N.P. and choose Explore. Entire Network
displayed.
In an attempt to move from using NetBIOS, I have disabled
NetBT on this computer and two other XP computers. Both XP
computers still function properly and are able to access
Active Directory (Win2K AD with 2000 and XP clients)
No firewall has been enabled or installed. This is a clean
XP Pro installation with all Windows Updates installed.
Before wasting anymore time on this, I am doing a
reinstall of Windows. I don't know if the problem was
occurring before I made a dll mistake. I typed regsvr32
dsfolder.dll which successfully registered the dll file.
However, I wanted to overwrite this file with a different
version before running this command. I copied over the
file, re-registered and then un-registered, but that
didn't help.
I will let you know if I have the problem still after
reinstalling and reregistering the correct dll this time.
Thanks for the input and advice, Chuck.
