Default Cannot see PC in network browser

We have a small network of about 10 PCs. 2 PCs run Windows 98SE, The rest
run either XP Home, with 1 running XP Pro. One of the computers running XP
Home SP2 refuses to allow itself to be seen in the network browser. I can
ping it, I can net view its shared resources if I enter net view
\\computername at the command prompt. I can even net use its resources.
But if I click on View Workgroup Computers, I can't see it in the browser.
I can see every other computer in our work group except this one. I've
checked to make sure the browser service is running on all PCs. Anyone have
any idea what might be causing this? Thanks in advance.

On the problematic PC, click Start, click Run, type:
Regedit (hit enter)

Next, locate HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

Ensure that "RestrictAnonymous" is set to 0.

Close and reboot.
