xp pro messes up the network
You can try turning off the Browser Service on the other
machines (Right-click on My Computer, and select Manage, expand Services and Applications, then click on Services. Right-click on Computer Browser, and click on Stop and set the startup type to Disabled. Or you could edit the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001 \Services\Browser\Parameters. Change IsDomainMaster to FALSE, and MaintainServerList to No. Repeat for ControlSet002. Don't know if this will help, but it might be work a try. Thanks, Jack -----Original Message----- Our peer-to-peer network (containing my Win2000Pro desktop that shares the dsl internet connection and assigns IP addresses to the other computers, seven 98SE desktops, one ME laptop, and one XP home desktop) works great, until an additional XP Pro laptop is connected. Then all of a sudden, the computer listing in the network neighborhood disappears from every computer. We can still get around the network either via mapped drives or via searching for a specific computer name. The XP pro laptop has no shared files or folders. Why does it do this to our network? . |
