View source for The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available

==About==
[[category:error messages]]"[[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. --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 20:29, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
==Leads==
Possible leads for solving it, if the above doesn't work:

** 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.)
