View Workgroup Computers problem

[bigoxygen]

Hello

This is my first post in this forum

I have a Windows XP SP3 x40 thinkpad. Whenever I go to my network places, and click on "view workgroup computers", it takes a long time to load and it only displays one computer (the x40).

-all computers are on the same workgroup
-firewall service has been disabled
-tried WInsock XP fix
-when I put \\computername I can see the computer's shared files

Please Help!!!

here is a print out of my cmd.exe

Let's first do the full stack repair.

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2/SP3.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands:

Note: Type only the text in bold for the following commands.

Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults, type: netsh int ip reset reset.log

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults, type: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reboot the machine.






Next, can you ping the computers by name from the other computer?







Finally, I'd like to see the following from each of the two computers in question.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands, one at a time, followed by the Enter key:

Note that there is a space before the -n or the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the - or / in the following commands.

NBTSTAT -n

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter to copy the contents to the clipboard.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

Top suspect here is a firewall blocking access. Disable ALL firewalls and see if you can ping.

Your suggestions above titled:
