The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available

About
"The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available." is an error message in Microsoft Windows XP.

Symptoms
This error may occur in conjunction with:
 * System error 6118
 * Network Neighborhood not available
 * Can't connect to Windows domain (times out); other machines remain connected to it
 * TCP/IP (web, ping) seems to be working fine.

Solutions

 * Solution: Deactivate McAfee Internet Security -- firewall was blocking access to Windows Network but not TCP/IP. Network Neighborhood instantly begins working, no reboot required. --Woozle 20:29, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Leads
Possible leads for solving it, if the above doesn't work:
 * 2005-07-04 Practically Networked (forum)
 * suggests that problem is due to not having a master browser; force browser election by restarting all systems.
 * There used to be other ways to force a browser election, but apparently it's more difficult in NT-based systems.
 * Samba may have a way to do it. (Just restarting Samba should, but doesn't always.)
