That is, what else is not stock with this machine. Anyhow, the NET VIEW command is next and I think the days of XP have hit an end as little issues like this have us reloading the machine to some known working configuration. I can't see what's off using the clues here and hope the NET VIEW at the command prompt works.

Hi,
I ran out of ideas already and tips from google did not bring anything new to a problem that appeared to me some time ago.
I hope that you can help me on this issue. The point is that I cannot open 'View Workgroup Computers' in 'My Network Places' on my XP Pro SP3, hp nx6110.
At some point (I missed when) something happened and the result is:
- No clickable 'View workgroup computers' (left 'Network Tasks') in the 'My Network Places' explorer window.
- Total Commander is missing in 'Workgroup Computers' or anything like that pattern.

At home I have two laptops and one desktop, with them everything is ok because the shared folder on my hard disk is accessible from any of them. Only I can not access to folders on other devices.
Ok, what I checked:
'Services' necessary for the operation of the network are running:
- Computer Browser
- DHCP Client
- DNS Client
- Network Location Awareness
- Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
- Server
- TCP / IP NetBIOS Helper
- Workstation
Result of 'ipconfig / all':

Result of 'nbtstat':

Netbios also:

I applied some fixes from Microsoft, but nothing helps. The router is ok other.
Strange thing is that 'DHCP Client' is running under Services window but in 'ipconfig /all' command looks like is off. Hmm
Thank you and please and any advice.
