I really need some help on this. Background: P2P network, 10 workstations XP
SP2. The router is handling DHCP.
Problem: When I click "View entire workgroup" on one workstation, I get the
error message "[Workgroup] is not accessible. You may not have permission to
use this network resource." Can't do remote desktop to any workstation.
This problem computer:
- Can ping the router (DHCP server) andn other workstations by IP address.
- Cannot ping itself by IP address or name. It does recognize its name and
maps it to the correct IP address, but the ping fails.
- Can ping itself at 127.0.0.1
- Cannot find other workstations by name.
- If try using network connections\Repair this connection, it fails on
"Renewing your IP address."
- Other workstations can ping it by IP address, not by name.
I made sure that
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHIINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\restrictanonymous
was set to 0. I enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP in the WINS tab of the TCP/IP
properties form. I tried another NIC card. No dice.
Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Jay,
This is most frequently caused by a misconfigured or overlooked personal
firewall. Read this article with an open mind.

Or we could look at "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and
"net config workstation", from the problem computer, and from 2 others, and
diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow
instructions precisely (download browstat!):
