Default Ethernet network won't work without third (wireless) computer.

Hi
Try this,
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\Browser\Parameters
REG_SZ IsDomainMaster True or False" , Set it to True.

I have three PCs on a home network. OSs are XP-Pro-SP2 connected by
Ethernet to Win98SE, and by wireless, XP-Home-SP3 on a Laptop.

Question -- Why can't the two Ethernet-connected PCs see each other
unless the laptop is also on with the wireless connection established?

Here is the hardware configuration:
Comcast cable to Motorola SB5120 Surfboard cable modem.
Ethernet: Modem to Win98 PC.
Ethernet: Win98PC to Netgear WNR2000 wireless router.
Ethernet: Netgear WNR2000 to XP-Pro-SP2.
Wireless: Netgear WNR2000 to Netgear Adapter WN511B on XP-Home laptop.

Using windows explorer, the two Ethernet-connected PCs cannot see each
other unless the laptop is on and connected by wireless. Then all
three computers see each other in explorer. When I break the wireless
connection to the laptop the Ethernet connected PCs again cannot see
each other.

Why is the laptop necessary for the Ethernet network to work? How can
I change this situation?

Network browsing in Network Neighborhood and My Network Places depends
on having one computer, designated as the "master browser", keep track
of the computers and respond to browsing requests from other
computers. If that computer leaves the network, the other computers
are supposed to notice and elect another computer as the "master
browser".

Is there a way to specify which computer is the master browser?

This process is inherently unreliable. You can spend a lot of time
troubleshooting it, but I don't think it's worth the trouble.

A while back I tried to use Acronis 9.1 to backup my Win98SE to a HDD
on the XP-Pro computer. I couldn't make the connection at that time.
Perhaps it will work now that I know that the XP-Home Laptop has to be
connected in order to connect the other two computers. But I would
like to be able to make that connection not depend on having the
laptop.

Here are two ways to access another computer without using network
browsing:

1. Click Start Run, type the other computer's name in "Open" box in
this format, and click OK:

\\computer

I tried that and it worked.

2. Create a desktop shortcut to the other computer, specifying the
location of the item as:

\\computer

I have done that and it works.

After doing some homework I was able to identify the fact that the

why Network Neighborhood stopped working when I disconnected the
laptop. I tried to fix this by disabling the laptop's master browser
thinking that one of the other computers would take over that role.
But they did not so far.

Here are the other settings:

Laptop: XP-Home:
ProgramsAdministrative ToolsServicesComputer BrowserGeneral
Startup Type: I changed Automatic to Disabled

Win98SE:

Browser Master = Automatic

XP-Pro:

I spoke to soon. I shut off all three computers and the cable modem
and the router. After startup the Win98SE is the master browser. I was
hoping it would be the XP-Pro.

I do not understand this because I did not change the Win98SE but I
did change the registries of the two XPs. Also, network neighborhood
works between the Win98SE and the wireless XP-Home laptop. But the
XP-Pro only sees itself. (Except it can see the others PCs by the
desktop shortcuts that use their computer names.)

I will shut down everything overnight. Tomorrow I will post status of
properties.

Network browsing in Network Neighborhood and My Network Places depends
on having one computer, designated as the "master browser", keep track
of the computers and respond to browsing requests from other
computers. If that computer leaves the network, the other computers
are supposed to notice and elect another computer as the "master
browser".

Is there a way to specify which computer is the master browser?

This process is inherently unreliable. You can spend a lot of time
troubleshooting it, but I don't think it's worth the trouble.

A while back I tried to use Acronis 9.1 to backup my Win98SE to a HDD
on the XP-Pro computer. I couldn't make the connection at that time.
Perhaps it will work now that I know that the XP-Home Laptop has to be
connected in order to connect the other two computers. But I would
like to be able to make that connection not depend on having the
laptop.

Here are two ways to access another computer without using network
browsing:

1. Click Start Run, type the other computer's name in "Open" box in
this format, and click OK:

\\computer

I tried that and it worked.

2. Create a desktop shortcut to the other computer, specifying the
location of the item as:

\\computer

I have done that and it works.

Hi
Try this,

I spoke to soon. I shut off all three computers and the cable modem
and the router. After startup the Win98SE is the master browser. I was
hoping it would be the XP-Pro.

I do not understand this because I did not change the Win98SE but I
did change the registries of the two XPs. Also, network neighborhood
works between the Win98SE and the wireless XP-Home laptop. But the
XP-Pro only sees itself. (Except it can see the others PCs by the
desktop shortcuts that use their computer names.)

I will shut down everything overnight. Tomorrow I will post status of
properties.

Using windows explorer, the two Ethernet-connected PCs cannot see each

I change the Win98SE master browser to disabled and the LM Announce to
Yes to see if that would cause the SXP-Pro to become assume the role
of master browser. It did not. So I changed the Win98SE settings back
as they were.

Starting after that, the XXP-Pro can see the Win98SE by using the
desktop shortcut \\Win98SEname, but the Win98SE cannot see the XP-Pro
by the same method.

I found some startup errors in the logs of the XP-Pro PC. I list them
below as they might be related to this problem with network
neighborhood. I am sorry that the list is so long but I didn't know
which ones to leave out. These are from:
