NetBIOS name resolution problems between XP PCs
Setup:
PC #1 - Windows XP Home SP2 PC #2 - Windows XP Home SP2 PC #1 - running Computer Browser service (workgroup server) PC #2 - workgroup client Each PC - is sharing a folder called C:\Temp Scenario: From PC #1, I can navigate into the "My Network Places", then into the workgroup and I see both PCs. Then can navigate into each PC and into the Temp share and click either the "Back" button or the "Up" button to navigate back the workgroup level. No errors. From PC #2, I can navigate into the "My Network Places", then into the workgroup and I see both PCs. Then can navigate into each PC and into the Temp share and click either the "Back" button or the "Up" button to navigate back the workgroup level. The problem occurs when I click the "Back" button to go back to the workgroup name level I receive the error: "Workgroup" is not accessible. See administrator ..." "No permission to use the network resource" "Specified network name no longer available" I switched the server/client activities of the PCs and the same thing occurs. Meaning PC #1 would produce the errors mentioned above. So the problem is not specific to PC #2. I've been researching and searching for resolutions for two days, but no luck so far to remedy this situation. I just can't find anyone describing the same scenario. Is there a bug in XP's NetBIOS name resolution, or in Explorer (My network Places), or is there some network buffer issue? |
