I administer a small office network (1 server running WIN 2K Server, x number of clients running WIN 2K).

I am receiving the following error message from each client, attempting to access the server.

" The list of servers for this workgroup isnot currently available."

What are possible causes ? What techniques can I use to troubleshoot ?

Look in Event Viewer for error messages. Something is wrong with your Browser service.Check out this Microsoft Knowledge Base article: Cannot Access 'Computers Near Me' in Workgroup; Error Message Reports Unavailable Server List (Q285035

Seems specific to server, its unlikey all the PC's have a prob.

Also seems to be a network prob. Try pinging server, if u can't its probably a IP address or subnet mask issue.

Finally the easiest answer maybe that the patch cable for the server has fell out :0
