Max,

If you're connecting a new computer to a working LAN, and you get "Browsing is
NOT active on domain", then you likely have a firewall problem, and you should
check all computers.

If the firewall is not the problem, check that you otherwise have connectivity.
You should be getting browsing services from one of the existing computers, so
don't start it on the new computer - that will just confuse things.
