One PC can't see network printers 2

[Mannstech]

Hi All,

I have a peculiar problem whereby just one client PC (running XP Prof.) can't browse to network printers. All other client PC's are fine and can see printers with no problem.

I have checked that nothing is being blocked by firewalls/anti-virus etc. etc. but can't see anything different on this PC compared with the others.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be most grateful!

And a search for the machine shows it up:

Start , run, browse, network places, entire nework, workgroup

?

Yep, the machine shows under Network Places and I can get to the point using the Add Printer Wizard where I can see the client PC that has the printer attached (I have checked that it has been set to share) but it won't let me expand the PC so that I can see the printer...

Is the firewall on the PC blocking file and printer sharing?

You might want to do an IP reset on the machine to eliminate the possibility of corruption with IP being the cause.
Do a google search on "ip reset" for the parameters for a reset.

Thanks guys, a combo of IP reset and checking the firewall settings seems to have got everything working again... many thanks all round...
