Neither computer adapter has a power setting.

I no longer am using DHCP (simplifies debug)

I have been through two failures since starting this thread, but have
not saved the data that I observed. I am doing that now.

My current debug posture is that the problem is NOT a Computer Browser
issue. I lament that I cannot find any logs or event viewer that have
an exception posted. PING in both directions never breaks.

I have seen two things cause the error code 53 (after the failure has
occurred.

1) "Network not found" meaning the XP system no longer can find the
Windows 2000 system it was just talking to.

2) Can't remote access the registry (by BROWSTAT)

LSP is not corrupted.

I will post more as I collect the data.

Thanks for the note about the user name bit. I now presume that you are
"lurker", "lurcer", and "clackey". And you always sign, internally, as
"king-daddy"?

I don't think that the original problem is browser related. That won't prevent
the browser diagnostics from helping us though. But you'll need to run all
diagnostics on each computer, for it to be truly useful.

The "Can't remote access the registry" bit is normal for XP Home.

This type of investigation is typical detective work - a lot of duplicated
effort, and combing thru clues. But since you don't know what the problem is,
you don't know which clues are essential, so gather all of them please.

DHCP not used. Fixed IP is used
Firewall is shut down on the Windows 2000 machine (Kerio)
Firewall on Windows XP HOME is "Windows Live OneCare"

Well, no problems at all are apparent there.
# Both computers on same physical subnet, 192.168.1.0/24.
# Both computers using compatible name resolution (Node types Broadcast and
Unknown are fine).
# Both computers in same domain / workgroup Kingdom, with same master browser
Queenie.

Now, since Queenie is the master browser, you'll not see an "error = 53" in
browstat when accessing the registry. If you're seeing an "error = 53" when the
problem occurs, then King-Daddy is probably electing itself the master browser.

Is NetBT explicitly Enabled on both computers?

Let's try and enumerate the symptoms methodically.

OK, that was baseline, right? Absolutely no problems showing.
