Computer Browser Service
Hi I have a small home network with two computers, one Windows XP Home
Edition and One Vista Home Premimum. I while ago I had to reload my Vista computer and I lost some of my network connectivity. I can print to my windows xp computer so connectivity is there in some form. When I go into network and control center I can't see other the other computer on my network. Names and domain appear to be right in both computers because I can print and I can access each computer through typing name directly (\\dad or \\mom) in an address line. When I run browstat status I get "browsing is NOT active on domain". "Master name cannot be determined from GetAdapterStatus". Now I remember turning off browsing "Computer Browser" in the windows xp computer last time I setup the network for some reason, i believe it was conflicting with the Vista. When I looked at the "Computer Browser" in the vista computer it set to Automatic but wasn't started, once I start it manually the network is backup and browsing is restored. why doesn't it start by itself? How can I get it to start by itself?

Computer Browser Service
Robert thanks for the reply. I tried it in Safe Mode with Networking and sure
enough the Computer Browser service is started and running. Thinking it might be my Avira Antivirus I uninstalled it no luck, the computer browser service still didn't start after reboot. I created a new user after turning on network discovery and file sharing, restarting the Computer Browser service was started in that profile. Figuring it must be something in my profile, I tuned off and then back on again network discovery and file sharing with reboots in between. Still doesn't turn on Computer Browser service. Is there anyway to edit the registry to turn the service on in my profile? I really don't want to create another profile and transfer all my stuff to it for this minor problem or reload windows. I think I can live with turning the Computer Browser service on manually if I need it... "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: It could be a 3rd party software. For troubleshooting, you may try clean boot.

Computer Browser Service
Robert still no luck making the Computer Browser start automatically. I even
export and installed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Browser registry from another Windows Vista computer into this one. Still doesn't work. Oh and I misspoke earlier about the new profile having the Computer Browser working it doesn't. It was just working because I had turned it on manually in my user profile. Any other suggestions? Thanks Rodger "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: This post may help. please post back with the result.
