Re: List of servers in this workgroup is currently not available.

Hi Bert,

Thanks for your reply.

I am glad to know the problem was fixed after you uninstalled the printer.
I'd like to give you additional information for for reference:

My Network Places "net crawler" functionality
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256248/en-us

Computer description appears before the computer name in the My Network
Places Browse list
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824386/en-us

Hope this helps.

If you have any problem in furture, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)

<Robert,
<
<Thanks for the very detailed post and welcoming me to your newsgroup. The
<responses are very good and timely. The formatting is a bit confusing for
me
<as I am used to Experts-Exchange, which is a little different. Not sure if
<you are aware of them.
<
<I think I may have found the problem. At least it is fixed for now. I
<recently installed a D-Link print server with a reserved IP. It worked
fine.
<But, I started to get an error message which said there were duplicate
names
<on the network even though there isn't. When I disconnected the print
server
<it went away. I have a program that is able to see all of the computers
which
<are networked, and this printer was populating there when no other
networked
<printer or fax machine would.
<
<As soon as I uninstalled the print server and rebooted the computers, I
<could then get into the Riverviewpediat domain and see all of the
computers
<and server.
<
<If this doesn't solve the problem, I will follow your directions
explicitly.
<Do you think the hot fixes are a good idea anyway. And why do you have to
<contact Microsoft for one of the hot fixes?
<
<Thank you.
