Browsing on a single Subnet - error 8032

C

Carlos

My problem, and hopefully an easy problem for you guys with more knowledge on
the subject, is that sometimes I can see the list of computers/servers on the
network (one single subnet network) thru My Network Places->Entire
Network->Microsoft Windows Networks and sometimes I can't.

I have 2 DCs (windows 2003 Ent. Ed. w/ SP1), one member server (2003 ent.
ed. w/ SP1 as well) and 10 to 12 workstations, all XP Pro w/ Sp2 with the
firewall feature manually disabled on all of them.

On my DC1, I have forced it to always be the Domain Master Browser by doing
the registry hack. This DC1 also holds the 5 FSMO roles, DNS, DHCP, GC and it
is also the VPN server. My logs are crystal clear.

On my DC2, also DNS, GC, I get the 8032 error in my system log. I get it
every 2 hours or so and I just can't seem to be able to fix. NetBIOS over
TCP/IP is enabled in the entire domain.

On my member server, I also get the same 8032 error. On my workstations, I
never get the error. And, again, sometimes I lose the browse list in all my
workstations and on my DC2 and on my member server, and sometimes (most of
the times) I can browse. It also seems that I can ALWAYS browse from the DC1
which has the PDCe, is the domain master browser, etc.

Sometimes, when I can't browse, I get errors when I ttry to get the list by
going to My Network Places. Errors are "the domain is not accessable, the
path wasn't found, etc etc etc.

Please help me.
