Well, I've tried most everything mentioned here and in all those URLs (as well as those I've found by googling on my own).

Here's what I've noticed. My network contains a Win98 desktop, two WinXP Home laptops, and two Linux machines. One of those Linux machines as VMWare on it, running XP Home.

ALL THREE XP machines (two laptops and one virtual VMWare machine) exhibit exactly the same behavior. The can get to specific network shares by name (including pulling them up in Explorer, mounting network drives, etc), but they all get exactly that above error when trying to browse the workgroup.

I'm thinking about killing the samba server temporarily and seeing if that helps. (Edit: Nope, no help.)

Any other thoughts?
