Entire Network frequently not visible

[Hanspeter Roth]

Hallo,

we have setup a few new PCs with XP in the LAN. On most hosts "Entire
Network" and "Microsoft Windows Network" is always available in the
Windows Explorer.
However on one PC "Entire Network" is only available ocationally.
What can be the cause?

sounds like master browser issue. use browstat.exe to check the status.

We have two Networks at our Site. The station is located in x.x.A.
Also the master browser is located in the same network. But the backup
servers that the workstation retrieves from the master browser are
located in the other network x.x.B.
Can this cause the problem?
Can any setting on the client affect this choice?
