Troubleshooting tips:

Look in the Event Log for errors, you may find the cause or clues to the problem there.

Make sure that the Browser Service is running.

Make sure that the Firewalls are not blocking traffic, lots of Security Suites and software nowadays automatically block traffic or make changes to firewall settings without really alerting the users that it has done so.

Also, the "Computers Near Me" relies on NetBios name resolution so make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on the machines.

John;

On my Win2000 PC, how do I

1. make sure that the Browser Service is running

2. make sure that the Firewalls are not blocking traffic
(I'm running Norton Internet Secirity 2005 for Windows 2000)

3. make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled

Per Nermo

Questions 1 & 3: You can run the following command from a Command
Prompt: NET START that will list the running services.

You can look in the Services Management Console for the same information
and to change the start type for the services, to open the console enter
services.msc in the Start->Run box.

Question 2 check the firewall configuration settings in the Norton
firewall program, I don't use Norton products so I can't help more than
that with it, consult the firewalls help files. One easy way to find
out if the firewalls are at fault is to temporarily disable them and do
some test, if the network works fine when the firewalls are turned off
you pretty well know where the problem lies. You may want to disconnect
the connection to the internet while you disable the firewalls.

John

Problem solved ! (I owe you, John John !)

What I had to was to allow access to/from
the IP-address range for the computers on
my wireless network (WLAN) at home.

Everything seems 'back to normal' now.
