SYMPTOMS

- View the computers and the shared resources in Windows Explorer.
However, you cannot obtain the list of computers and of shared resources.
For example, you run the NET VIEW command to view the network resources. Then, you receive following error message:
This problem occurs if the network has lots of computers in the browse list.
