The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by HEC1152 in Net BIOS and NetBEUI, Windows 95 - 98 Networking, Windows XP Operating System
I have a home network with a 6 computers all WinXP which are each members of a WORKGROUP. All show up (via netbios name, I assume) when I browse network from any of them, except for one. That one is on network, pingable, and browsable when the specific address \\computer is used to reference it, but it is otherwise "invisible" to any of the network browsing resources on any machine. It's name is resolved (for ping command, for instance) by local DNS and it seems to be working fine from all other indications. File sharing works if drives are mapped using \\computer\share for instance. But there's no indication that it is on line any other way. I do notice that right after it's restated, the netbios name shows up in any of the other machines browsers but "disappears" after a few minutes (~15-30) after it comes up. I've checked to ensure that in the Network Connections Netbios broadcast is enabled so that's not the issue. I'm at a loss as to how to troubleshoot this annoyance problem. And, I can't find anything in this forum that seems to cover this situation other than the suggestion to ensure that netbios broadcast is enabled. Can anyone advise how/what I should check to get this fixed? Is there a specific service that I should check to ensure that it's enable and that broadcasts the netbios name or ??? Since everything is functional (with exception of being able to see name after the computer is up a while, I'm wondering if there may be some other conflict/collision of services that's hiding the computer's name from other computers). Thanks in advance for help/suggestions. (edit - this is all WinXP with latest service packs, etc. I miscoded the zone to be win98 which this is not relevant to).
