[bcab] Re: Network browsing problem

Hi George,

Yeah that works.

However, that's not really the problem.  I can't browse the workgroup and see 
them.  Only if I connect directly using the IP. 

It's only on the laptop.  I can browse the workgroup via network places no 
bother.

Barry.

Hi Barry,

Have you tried mapping the drives you want access to?  They won't usually show 
up otherwise.

George.

Subject: [bcab] Network browsing problem

Hi folks,

Hopefully someone can offer a few suggestions for this.
It's been bugging me for a few weeks now.
I've a laptop that's not able to browse to any of the shares on a local Windows 
Network.

The laptop has XP Pro on it and all the other machines have XP Pro on them.

I can ping and connect to the network shares with their IP addresses.  Net Bios 
is enabled on the laptop and it's a member of the same workgroup as all other 
machines.

If I click  on My Network Places/Entire Network/Microsoft Windows Network and 
the workgroup name using the laptop I can only see it in the workgroup.

No static IP's or pre-assigned DNS in TCP/IP and I've confirmed that it's using 
the default/same subnet mask as the other machines.

No firewalls enabled on the laptop itself.  Have double checked that the 
Windows Firewall isn't turned on.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Barry.
