Excellent information, thank you.
Unfortunately, none of it solved my problem.
Start sniffing the machine as you do a "Network Neighborhood" search.
You might also check and see just where and how lookups are being done
for NETBios from an XP box command terminal
nbtstat -r
which will tell you how lookups are being done. Might lead you to a
culprit.
I see a lot of "The specified network name is no longer available"
error messages all over the internet from Linux users, and none of the
very few solutions I have come across have worked for me.
Anybody else able to chime in and take a guess as why my XP box is
having a problem talking to my Solaris/Samba box? Again, Win2K has no
problems talking to the Samba box - it's just XP.
Refresh: This error happens when you try to browse using "My Network
Places" in the desktop. Mapping works fine, access works fine.
Browsing is what fails in XP. I need this to work or I'm looking at a
huge and expensive documentation change effort that few would
understand.
Still desperate for help on this. This problem happens with WinXP
right out of the box, we have nothing weird installed.
Help!

Yes, but NetBIOS desires the lmhosts file. See my ancient (but still
valid) scribblings here:
