| I) | Make sure the service "Computer Browser" is running on your Domain Controller, and only on your DC:* On the DC open up Services, under Administrative Tools in the Start Menu. * Scroll down to the Computer Browser service. * If it is Disabled or set to Manual, set it to Automatic. * Then start it. It may stop immediately again, but this is OK. * Check the XP machine in question to make sure this service is disabled * Other computers on the network could have this service enabled, look for error messages indicating which ones | |
