The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available

[Tahseen Shahzad]

I have got Server 2003 at home office and Windows 2000 server at remote office. I dont know when this problem started, whether before 2 Vista machines were added to the network or so? I have a mixed enviroment of XP, Windows 2000 and Vista machines. I have already had all computers mapped to either Server with no error messages, could map drives all day long between both offices. Now I am not able to create new mapped drives from either office. I dont know if Vista is the issue because of this. User is getting a new computer. And the old XP machine being upgraded and still using XP. Drives are mapped and you can map a drive to the remote office just fine prior to replacement. I have replace pc and try to map a drive to the remote office, when browsing for a folder the remote office server will either not show up or does show up but you cannot "open" it to access any folders or you finally get an error message as follows:

"Remote server is not accessible. You might not have permission to use the network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission."

Can anyone please help?

If you have a SBS Server it might be installed in Domain Controller mode and not workgroup. If this is Standard server, then post the correct NG if it is SBS to be sure that it is installed correctly and post back.

It doesnt sould like there is a small business server in here anywhere? Do you even have an Active Directory Domain, or just workgroups?

It might be that 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. For more information go to this website - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/139910
