I have several Windows XP Professional in various building that are unable to
browse via Network Neighborhood. When trying to browse the domain an error is
returned \\Domain Name is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use the network resource. From the run line I can access the domain servers
by typing \\domain name. The network resources are returned back. We are
running windows 2003 AD in native mode with all Windows XP Professional. We
are not running WINS and not planning to set one up. Any solutions or
suggestions.

Thanks in advance
