Thanks for your reply! I almost gave up on somebody from the list helping 
me... 

You mean WINS name resolution problems? Yes, I'll check for that the next time 
I am having this problem. After thinking about your suggestion, I realized 
that some of my friends were plugging their laptops into my lan, maybe that 
screwed up the default browser or something like that. Do you know by any 
chance a way to figure out what a win2k workstation is thinking about its 
default master browser?

Thanks,
