I have a Windows2000 Pro machine that does not see all of the Domains and Workgroups that should be available under "My Network Places". The same machine will show about 15 domains and workgroups when booted in Win98 (which would seem to eliminate any hardware issues), but only 2 in Win2000. Another PC (NT4 Server) in the same domain sees all available resources. I have taken the Win2000 PC out of the domain and put it back in. The network is not subnetted and does not use WINS. I use IPX and TCP/IP. NetBIOS over IP is enabled. File and Print Sharing is enabled. I can hit other machines using UNC. I can ping the other machines. Any idea why I can't see more on the network?

I've had a similar problem once, I totally un-installed my network card/protocols/services and rebooted. After re-installing everything, it worked fine. Probably a .DLL file prob.

I had similar problem with my nt workstation, because when install/setup the os I didn't have file and printer sharing setup or enable. So double check your file and printer sharing. Maybe disable it and reboot and enable it again. Good luck.

did ms fix the browser problems yet? can you see the other computers by using the net view command or can you ping by name?
