Ok, we got a new XP box at work. I hooked it up and the IP is thru DHCP of the IP router. It can ping all the pcs (98 & XP) and even browse the internet, but when I click on network places, nothing shows up. I know it's in the correct workgroup and also same subnet mask, but still nothing. My XP box see's it in the neighborhood browser but says I don't have permissions...i already added the appropriate user accounts to the new XP box.
is there something i'm overlooking?
I had a similar problem.
I have a home network of 3 PCs - Win98, WinMe & WinXp on a Netgear router, connected to Road Runner Cable Modem.
The WinMe hard disk was replaced by Gateway and I have reconnected it to the router. I could browse the internet, but the Entire Network said Unable to Browse the Network. The other PCs showed the WinMe PCs name, but would say don't have permission to see it. The WinMe could ping other PCs, but when other PCs pinged the WinMe, no response.
I tried everything I could think of, then found this site, read posts, tried the nbtstat, still not working. Started typing this post, then noticed the Entire Network now lists all my PCs and are accessable.
I don't know what fixed the problem, but I hope it keeps working.
Your problem sounds similar and I'm interested in how to troubleshoot these symptoms.
