I don't know what happened to my last response. I didn't keep a record so I
have to go through the steps again.
I looked at the
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/how-to-post-on-usenet-and-encourage.html#MultiPosting
The link What is cross-posting? How do I do it?
(http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/crospost.html) seems to be broke.
Thanks for the original link. Since I combined what I thought were separate
issues, I will move on.
Currently there are 4 computers which I will name A,B,C and D. D is a
wireless link and the rest are hardwired.
Since we are talking about the Dlink home router, I went and started
clicking the box for Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
Computer C was off. That change didn't help.
When I first ran Browstat Status, the wireless link Computer D was shown to
be the master browser. Both Computer B and D were turned off.
Then Computer B was turned on. At this point, when Browstat Status was run,
I did get the "Could not open key in registry, error = 5
Unable to determine build of brower master: 5.
I tried to go to
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/07/advanced-windows-networking-using.html
but it was unavailable. As I remember, Error 5
isn't necessarily a problem.
I checked status. In Windows Explorer My Network Places, I could get to the
Computer A and B shares using either Computer A or B suggesting
the problem is one of the other two computers.
Turned on Computer C and Verified the Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP box was
checked. Still no MSHOME message.
Turned on Computer D and could see Computer A and B but not C. Went to
Computer A and got the MSHome not accessible meaning Computer D is
the problem. Computer D has Norton Internet Security 2007. Decided to
uninstall Norton Internet Security 2007. Now I can see Computers A,B,C,D.
When I click on Computer D in Computer A I get Dialog box asking for a
password. The Dialog box is a different problem.
I bought in 5th wireless computer E and verified that that Enable NetBIOS
over TCP/IP was checked. That only showed computer D.
Decided to reinstall Norton Internet Security 2007. Now no other computers
show in Computer D network neighborhood. However all other computers
have all five computers. From E can not open computer B and D shares.
Still don't have the MSHOME not accessible message so there is some progress.
Still have computer D doesn't show any other computers.
When Norton Internet security 2007 wasn't installed, computer D wanted a
password.
Computer D and B shares are not accessible.
My Network Places doesn't show the correct shares.
I decided to uninstall Norton Internet security again to try to clear the
dialog box asking for a password. Computer C is turned off and computer
D moved in C's location. Found that still can't access Computer D. Went into
the Windows Firewall and checked File and Printer Sharing. That didn't help.
Turned off Windows firewall. Tried running Network Setup Wizard. That only
got me the Mshome is not accessable message. Deleted the Networking Services.
rechecked Enable NetBios over TCP/IP. That didn't help and I am back to
square one. It will take time to wander around in the reference web site.

When I go into Windows XP SP2 Windows Explorer, My network places, Microsoft
Windows Network, and select the workgroup (MSHOME) I get:
Mshome is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have
access permissions. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently
available.
What can I do so I get a list of workgroup computers.
All computers are running Windows XP SP2 and are members of the MSHOME
workgroup with Internet connection through DLINK DI914+ home router.
You can see your other thread for more advice. Please don't multi-post.

So I'll repeat my advice from the other thread.
Windows XP, as with most other Windows editions, will indeed show the actual
shares, when the computers are setup properly.
You, most likely, have a NetBT setting or personal firewall, problem on one or
more computers.

You can probably diagnose the problem, using logs from "browstat status",
"ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net config workstation", from each
computer. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely (download browstat!):
