OK, hear is the problem. 4 computers on a workgroup. I am using ICS to get on
the internet on one computer. All computers can get on the net. I am also
using File and print sharing on 2 computers. One is ok, but the other one
wil not let me in. I have one printer shared on each of the 2 computers.

work. This was working fine till about 3 days a go then it just stoped. And

OK, both Compaq2 and Nick see Server as the master, and see 5 servers. So I
don't think it's a browser conflict. Both Compaq2 and Nick are getting "error =
5" from trying to access Server registry. Is Server running XP Home, or XP Pro
with Simple File Sharing?

Apparently the browser (Server) is seeing all 5 servers, so anonymous access
(used by the browser) works. The "error = 5" is when you're running browstat in
real time, against the account that you're using. If Server is running XP Home,
or XP Pro with Simple File Sharing, you have a Guest account problem. If not,
you have both that, and a problem with the non-Guest account that you're logged
on with.

Dave,

OK, we'll dig deeper. Provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" for all 4

And antivirus product.
