From: drxray on 8 Jun 2005 19:38 I have 4 computers on my home network. I call them FANCY, DELL, ASUS, hpavilion. My network, MSHOME, is no longer recognized, but it used to be. When I try to "view network computers" I get a message that MSHOME is not accessable. I cannot ping FANCY (I get TIME OUT) from any of the others, but I can get a response from the router (Motorola WR850G IP address 192.168.10.1) and can ping DELL (192.168.10.4) and ASUS, 192.168.10.3. Browstat on the computer I'm writing thisASUS gives the following: Status for domain MSHOME on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{53F8D312-05F1-46CA-AA21-AA99E4B91E41} Browsing is active on domain. Master browser name is: FANCY Could not connect to registry, error = 53 Unable to determine build of browser master: 53 Unable to determine server information for browser master: 53 1 backup servers retrieved from master FANCY \\FANCY Unable to retrieve server list from FANCY: 53 Any idea how to fix the problem?

Any idea what changed just before your workgroup became no longer recognized? How many computers show it as no longer recognized? My guess is you have a personal firewall problem on one or more computers. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html> If it isn't a firewall problem, run "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" on all 4 computers, and compare the output. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html> <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/browstat-utility-from-microsoft.html> <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/reading-ipconfig-and-diagnosing.html> -- Cheers, Chuck http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem - it's a normal response from experience.

So, two questions: 1) whats error 53 with respect to browstat? and 2) should I disable rather than turn off 'computer browser' service on the other ones? That service (even if I put "MANUAL" starts by itself when I reboot. |
