Without a description of your network it is difficult to know what could be going on. However, I suspect a Browse Master conflict. To check that out, go to Control Panel, double click on Network, go to the Configuration tab, scroll down to and highlight File and printer sharing for Microsoft networks, then click the Properties button. On the next window, highlight Browse Master and change its value to "disabled," then click OK as needed until you have backed your way out of Network. Then try it and see what happens. Also, if you still have trouble, please confirm that you are able to join the workgroup or domain at least.

Problem actually had to do with the fact that the Outlook Express setup wizard had not been run
