If you're not going to bother even attempting to answer the OP's question, then don't bother to post at all. Better Fix click Start button click Control panel click administrative Tools click services short cut slide down to Server right click properties set start up type to automatic done finished. The question states that the Server service isn't starting, so setting it to Automatic wouldn't help. The Computer Browser service maintains an updated list of computers on the network, and it supplies this list to computers that are designated as browsers.

If this service is stopped, the list is neither updated nor maintained. If this service is turned off, any services that explicitly depend on it do not start. Need more help? Expand your skills.

I thougth that if the 30 or so computers at work had no problem with sp3 and AD, it would be ok at home I went into gpedit. Strange thing, i can connect easily from my macbook to any shares on my xp's. So, back to nothing in my mind, i just removed my computer from my old domain and put it into the MSHOME workgroup without installing sp At least I can now connect from my wmware xp on my macbook to my pc.

Do you think that a new registry key could solve this? Thanks again! And sorry for my sloppy english i'm from quebec and we speak french! Tuesday, September 23, AM. I'm having a similar problem.

I followed those instructions and it say access denied after I typed the Cacls command. There is only one account on the computer that I'm having a problem with.

I also recently upgraded the hard drive. Tuesday, September 30, AM. This patch seems to have fixed the problem. Thursday, October 30, PM. To run Cacls, you must be member of the administrators group. On the other hand, I can connect from my desktop to my laptop using admin shares. Can someone help me troubleshoot the problem? Thanks -Amit Chugh. Sunday, November 16, AM.

I don't know your specifics, but this is what I do know. I went out to a clients site that had a small workgroup of 4 PCs.
