98se / xp network "Unable to browse the network"
After disabling McAfee and ICF I am able to ping both ways (xp98 &
98xp) by address and name but I still receive the "Unable to browse the network" message from one 98se node in network neighborhood. Also I have noticed that the 98se hangs on the [network neighborhood] icon in windows explorer for a long period of time before producing the "entire network" icon, which then displays the "Unable to browse the network" message. Ideas would be appreciated. Brad |

During that time, you should be able to access another computer by typing the other computer's name in the Start | Run box preceded by two backslash characters: \\computer If that doesn't work, here are two common reasons for the inability to browse the network: 1. The network settings are configured for user-level access control, which isn't available in a peer-to-peer network. Go to Control Panel | Network, click the Access Control tab, and make sure that share-level access control is selected. 2. The user isn't logged on. Is there a logon prompt when Windows starts? If so, don't cancel it. Complete the logon by entering a user name and, optionally, a password. If there's no logon prompt, click Start | Log Off and log back on. If that makes network browsing work properly, the most likely fix is to go to this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\ Network\Real Mode Net and delete the value named "AutoLogon", as shown he http://www.wown.com/j_helmig/nologon.htm#AutoLogon Please see these Microsoft Knowledge Base articles for more information: "Unable to Browse the Network" When You Click Network Neighborhood http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;260214 No Windows or Network Logon Dialog Box at Startup http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=KB;en-us;141858 -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
