browsing workgroup doesn't work on one computer
Dear all,
I have 3 pc's in a single network, in a single workgroup named MSHOME, and one wireless router / hub: OLDONE Win xp home sp3 192.168.1.4 wireless BUREAU Win xp home sp3 192.168.1.2 ethernet HANONM Win vista home sp1 192.168.1.3 ethernet Submask is 255.255.255.0 Router IP is 192.168.1.1 PC IP's are given by router dhcp. Netbios on tcp/ip is set to default (dhcp). The firewalls are disabled on all computers. All pc's can surf on the internet. Pinging from any computer to any computer on IP address works. (including bureau) Pinging from any computer to any computer on computer name also works. (including bureau) Guest account is enabled on all computers. Username and password are the same on all pc's. BUT I have a LAN problem: when browsing entire network/MSHOME workgroup: * from oldone and hanonm- I see computers oldone and hanonm, but not bureau * from bureau: I get the following message (FRENCH): Mshome n'est pas accessible. Vous ne disposez peut-être pas des autotisations nécessaires pour utiliser cette ressource réseau. Contactez l'administrateur de ce serveur pour savoir si vous disposez des autorisations d'accès. La liste des serveurs de groupe de travail n'est pas disponible actuellement. Which can be translated as: Mshome is not accessible. You have perhaps not autotisations to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The list of workgroup servers is currently unavailable. Any hint? Regards, Alain |

browsing workgroup doesn't work on one computer
I know this sucks but the most common problem with Windows file sharing is, well, Windows. It sounds like you did everything correctly and you were rather thorough, but Windows is unfortunately broken. How it happens can be one of many ways like registry errors, software conflicts, or maybe your OS is just old (an OS's quality can naturally decay with time, usually over three years). I hate to tell you but the best solution is probably a reinstall. I don't like it and reluctantly tell my clients that is a good idea because rarely if ever should one have to reinstall an OS to fix a problem. What I would recommend in the meantime, since frankly no one likes to reinstall, is to create a Run shortcut on your desktop pointing to the computer you are having difficultly browsing. Either that or use freeware file sharing software instead of Windows which would be more reliable and faster. I personally think Samba is a good one to use but you can Google for others if you like. Some quick fixes you can try a registry/file cleaning 2 chkdsk /r from the CLI 3 rebuilding the TCP stack on the afflicted PC which is basically uninstalling then reinstalling the TCP/IP protocol 4 check Windows for file integrity (you will need the Windows install disk) using SFC /scannow from the Run line 5 Lastly check the router or network device for any settings you may have missed. Sometimes the routers are bad themselves and switching them with another will help but not always. In your case the problem seems to be with Windows. Hope it helps. |

Sorry,
the problem is NOT file sharing. Samba will not solve anything: sharing works already correctly. It is a pure network browsing problem (see all pc's in same workgroup, I don't know other softwares doing this). And if I have to create shortcuts to each pc, this is not a solution.

browsing workgroup doesn't work on one computer
Well when I was referring to file sharing I meant all aspects of it including browsing as you were mentioning which is the problem. Did you try any of the fixes I mentioned? They are all useful in their own way and until you try it you won't know it can help you. Also why not create a shortcut to your shared folder for network browsing if it works as you say? Even if regular browsing doesn't work at least you have that until you can figure something out. Besides sometimes as I mentioned before Windows just plain sucks and doesn't work no matter what you do so a reinstall may be necessary if you REALLY NEED that one network browser. Otherwise if you don't need the normal browser then just make a shortcut on the Desktop or try the previous solutions. Hope you find something. |

On another note you could try making a simple P2P server on your home LAN negating the need for Windows entirely like say DC++ via the YnHub. If you google file servers you'll get a better idea of the kinds of software you can use. And not that I mean to inflate Linux's ego or anything but using it would probably be more reliable as a file server or at the least you could use WHS (Windows Home Server) which is a pretty good file server. |
