XP Pro Sp1 and networks

I installed Sp1 recently and when I did I became unable to browse network neighborhood for my workgroup. I can ping other computers in my group though. sometime my shared printers will work sometimes not.

 

ping by name or only by IP address?

What error message(s) do you get with a printer connect failure? And what do the event logs show?

 

I had the same problem after installing SP1, and what I ended up doing was uninstalling all the network components, i.e. Client for Microsoft Networks, QOS, File and Print Sharing, and reinstalling them again. On one computer I also had to unistall TCP/IP which is a real pain. There is an article on the Knowledge Base instructing you how to do this. After that I had no further problems with my network browsing. Hope this helps you out.
