Cannot Browse Network
When that happens, I just bypass Windows' broken "Network places"
completely. Instead, use "Run..." and enter the destination PC name there. Eg. If the pc you are trying to connect to is named OTHER-PC, then the Run.. line would look like: \\OTHER-PC Also, instead of using "Network places", map your drives. I find much more success using the two methods above. "schacko" wrote in message ... I cannot browse my network. There is always a message that says "Windows is unable to browse the network.

I clicked Help, but It didn't do so much help for me. My question yo you is. How to overide this error message, and browse my home network? Thanks It can take up to 15 minutes after a computer starts up before network browsing works. 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.
