Network Path Not Found (Error 53)
I have a single domain network that connect three offices (let say A, B and C). A PDC and a BDC are installed on at the head office (A) and one BDC on each branch office (B and C).
People can logon no problem. But the weird thing is they have intermittent browsing problem. For example, some people in B can browse the resource at A and can browse others with their network neighbourhood. Some others just simply can't. I checked the Server Manager and the Network Neighbourhood from both the PDC and the BDC at A, I can see all the connected computers, including the troubled ones. When I tried to browse the troubled computers (either using Network Neighbourhood or net view or net use), they gave me error (Error 53, Network Path Not Found).
All people on Network B are connected to one hub and router.
Same thing on Network C.
I can successfully ping and traceroute all the computers.
My question is:
1. Why and how this can be happening?
2. Why only part can browse and others can't?
3. How to remedy the problem?
I've searched through the web, but can't find any answers.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Sent.

There is no explanation to why only part of the network fail to connect while others can. Where is the answer? All I can see is cut and paste from readme.txt of SP3.
FYI, we did apply SP3 on all our PDC and BDCs. Our workstation computers are mostly 95.

--------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11
--------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you use the NET USE command to a server and share that does not exist,
the following error message may appear:
Error 59: An Unexpected Network Error Has Occurred
In addition, attempting to connect to a nonexistent server and share using
File Manager causes the system to stop responding (hang). To quit Windows
for Workgroups version 3.11 and reboot the computer, press CTRL+ALT+DEL and
press ENTER when the blue screen appears.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs if the "DNS for Windows Name Resolution" option is
enabled and the IP address for a DNS server is not specified in the DNS
Server search list.
RESOLUTION
==========
If a DNS Server is not available, disable the "DNS for Windows Name
Resolution" option under Windows Networking Parameters in the Advanced
Microsoft TCP/IP Configuration dialog box. If a DNS Server is available,
make sure that its IP address is added to the DNS Server search list in the
Microsoft TCP/IP - Connectivity Configuration dialog box.
MORE INFORMATION
================
When you attempt to connect to a nonexistent network server and share using
the NET USE command, the expected error message is "Error 53: The computer
name specified in the network path cannot be located." If the same
operation is performed in File Manager, the same error message should
appear in a STOP message dialog box without "Error 53."

People can connect/logon to the domain without any problem. That means the client get authenticated. The problem is not with the network itself, but it seems there is an underlying gremlins. What strange things is the inability of some people to browse to other resources. They were able to do it until last friday. On the weekend, suddenly the problem start to happen. We restarted the server, checked if all the services are running (yes, we have WINS server installed). Yet, it's getting worse.
I've searched the KB (I assume from Microsoft's homepage), but none of the answers provided are satisfactory.

Browsing is provided by Netbios broadcasts which explains why remote offices could not see other resources on other segment. The broadcasts do not get by the router. The PDC acts as Domain master browser and forwards its list to the Wins server and the BDCs act as segment master browsers. Stop and restart the browser service on servers to force an election. Static entries for your servers in the Wins datatbase might help.
You could also turn on Netbios broadcast forwarding on the routers but that is defeating the pupose of the router which is to segregate network traffic.

Thanks for the answer. That's unfortunately not the case. The inability to browse resources is only affecting certain machines. While other machines on the same segment (attach to the same subnet, hub, and router) can browse the resources using network neighourhood, few machines just can't see other resources except logon on to the domain.
Please see my example below:
Let say we are trying to connect 10 computers in a single domain model. Let consider 5 computers are in the same segment as the PDC and BDC in the office A (head office). Office B has a BDC and has five computers on the second segment. Office A and office B are connected using T1 line. Everybody can logon successfully. All five computers in office A can browse other computers resources in the A region, the servers and some (let say 3 computers) in the B region without any problem. It's the same as the office B, those 3 computers can browse other resources without any problem, too. Unfortunately, these two computers can't see the resource of others. While trying to connect to these troubled computers from the PDC (I've set this up as master browser list to make sure though I know it's unnecessary), I'll get error 53, network path not found.
Go back to my original question. Since the other 3 computers can connect, access resources, sharing and use network neigbouhood, WHY the two troubled computers refuse to do so? What causes this inconsistency?
I had restared the PDC and BDCs, did complete sync, forced update and election, did not help.

I think derosa is on the right track.. Do you have a WINS server in the network? If yes, have you checked the WINS settings on the computers with trouble?
Are the computer names of those infected PC's longer than 15 characters.
It does seem like you are having a browsing issue here.
When you cannot browse to a computer can you connect to its UNC name (Which does not use browsing)
Start\run\ \\computername
If you can then there may be an issue with the master browser.
For each workgroup their is 1 master browser. So even if they are on the same segment (attach to the same subnet, hub, and router), they can still have browsing problems.
You may need to use Browstat and Browmon (NT resource kit) to troubleshoot the browsing issues. From the Browstat command you can find who is the master browser and then disable the master browsing function on the problem machine.
If you need help using those commands let me know, I have pulled all my hair out troubleshooting browsing issues, time to help some else pull theirs out. :)
Have fun,
Craig

Try this, tonight when no one in your company or no one login to the server, you power down you hub and shut down the servers. give it a minute, and then power eveything back up. Let see will that help?
I bet you are relying totally on B-Node broadcasts. The problem with these is that when a Master browser falls in contention for that position with another computer and loses the election, it takes a while for the new MB to rebuild the list. It so happens some times that some of these computers always look at this MB which might be unable to provide the route path for some machines. The working computers on the other hand look for the right MB all the time. I know this sounds stupid but it has been a recognized problem all along in such scenarios.
So, Microsoft, recommends to have H-Broadcasting whereever possible in the case of distributed environments.
Logon authentication works fine, 'cuz, no matter what, your BDC will respond for these requests. Browsing not necessarily is the same as the logon authentication.
So, I conclude that installing a WINS server for the entire domain is not a bad idea. Actually that is what you should do and make all the boxes WINS clients. Now, you have a database of route paths and no question of not finding a path.
Also, if the segments are across the WAN (as you said), then having multiple WINS servers in different subnets is also not a bad idea 'cuz you will decrease a lot of network traffic. You can have these WINS servers replicate each other to keep your databases uptodate.
Good luck..

No. We are using H-node broadcast by installing WINS primary server at the PDC and WINS secondary servers at each BDCs on the branch offices. Then we make them as push-pull partners. We make our workstations as WINS client and pointing to its respective servers location.
I'll have to try something pretty drastic, and I will try it tonight. I'll let you all know what's the outcome.
