Hi


I have just made a clean installation of win2k pro with sp4. My trouble is that I cant browse my network. I have enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP. But that didn't help. I can browse the web but not my network.

Could someone please advice me on what to do?


Regards

I am having the same problem (seems to be after installing Windows 2k SP4) and have tried switching back and forth from enabling and disabling NetBios Over TCP/IP. Sometimes it works on the machines and they are able to browse the network and sometimes no change occurs which renders the workstation still unable to browse the network. A solution to this problem would be great.
 
Have been having the same problem - except of 6 machines on the network, only 1 is a W2K machine. All the others are W98 SE. If the W2K machine is NOT connected to the network, Neighborhood works fine and you can browse the network. Pop the W2K machine back on, and the UNABLE TO BROWSE dialog appears on all the machines.

We had to 'map' popular interconnects between machines while the W2K guy was off-line so when each machine boots, we can access drives/folders on other devices. If the machine is not 'hard mapped' to a destination, you can't 'get there from here' unless you shut down the W2K.

Frustrating...

Domain Name is correct...
Is the gateway address correct

Try ipconfig/registerdns as an effort to refresh all DHCP leases and re-registers DNS names. This on the WIN2K client machine.
