I have a wireless home network for almost two years. The network consists of
four computers, A, B, C (a Laptop), and D (another Laptop). A is wired to a
wireless router and connected to a printer. Since last week, I found out
that while A, B, and C can see each other on the network group, and access
each other’s shared files, D, the laptop, is not visible in the network group
and A, B and C therefore cannot see D’s shared files.
D can still access the internet through the router connected to A
I have checked the configuration on D (Win XP Home), and cannot find
anything wrong with it. Firewall has been disabled.
Wireless diagnostic tool on D identified the problem with the wireless card
as follows:
IPAddress = 192.168.0.100 (FAILED)
Pinging 192.168.0.100 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 192.168.0.100:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss)
Both B, and C have wireless network cards and have no problems.
From the event viewer error of computers B, and C. I got the following error
message:
“The master browser as received a server announcement from the computer D
that believes that it is the master browser for the domain transport
NetBt_Tcip [ E2A4A233-44ED-44A0-98. The master browser is stopped or an
election is being forced.”
Can someone tell me whether it is a hardware (wireless card) problem or
configuration problem.
