SYMPTOMS
========
When you issue a NET VIEW command from the MS-DOS prompt, the following error
message appears:
Error 6118: The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently
available.
If you try to browse in Windows 3.1 File Manager or Print Manager, no browse list
is available.
CAUSE
=====
Your workgroup name is different than your domain name.
The NET VIEW command sends out a Status Query (0x03) to the client computer's
workgroup name. Even if your client computer is not a member of a workgroup, the
workgroup name is queried. If your client computer is a member of a domain, the
domain name is queried. If your workgroup name is different than your domain
name, the browse master never responds and the 6118 error appears.
RESOLUTION
==========
Edit the SYSTEM.INI file in the network directory (usually C:\NET), do NOT edit
the Windows SYSTEM.INI file (usually in the C:\WINDOWS directory).
In the [network] section you will find entries for "workgroup=" and
"logondomain=." These entries should be the same, both using the domain name.
