Hi Everybody
I have a network of one W2K3 Active directory with about 10 W2K workstations
and everything works fine(For more than a year), I just want to add the
first Windows XP professional to domain:
- I could add it to my domain successfully,
- I added the domain user that suppose to work on XP machine successfully,
- I can log in to domain through this XP computer,
- I open the network neighborhood and see the MyDomain,
- When I click on MyDomain to browse it I get the error :
" MyDomain is not accessible, You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Connect the administrator..
The List of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."

I also check active directory the XP computer is added to the domain.
If I even log in as network administrator of Domain it let me to login but
doesn't let me to browse
the domain (Same error message).

What could be the problem?

Thank you in advance - Sam
 
sounds like master browser issue. You may want to use browstat.exe to check the master browser status.
