Network Problemi have several notebooks connected to a workgroup and all was ok until one of
them decided to playup. accessing shared folder and network printing dont work most times. sometimes when i restart i can use find network place and navigate to the folder. when i start up again its not there. i have tried the obvious things like disabling firewalls, enabling netbios/tcp etc but the fault still remains. it is very strange that sometimes i can navigate to the shared folder sometimes not. I have a router connected and internet access is fine at all times. Thanks On Fri, 27 Oct 2006 00:31:02 -0700, robb <r***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:

Are they all mobile (WiFi?)? If so, you're going to have problems. Please read my (longish) article on how the browser works (and why it may not, in your case) (and no, we are not discussing Internet Explorer). <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/04/nt-browser-or-why-cant-i-always-see.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/04/nt-browser-or-why-cant-i-always-see.html If you like, post "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each computer, and we can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!): <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
