Cannot Scan / explore domain

None of the users on my network, except 2, can open my domain from inside
Windows Explorer.

When they click on "Entire Network" in Windows Explorer, then on Microsoft
Windows Network, they reach an icon for the domain. Double clicking on the
domain generates the following dialog box:

"<Domain> is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you
have access permissions.

No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because
there are already as many connections as the computer can accept."

<Domain> is filled in with the name of my domain.

The client machines are XP SP1 or XP SP2. The server is Win Server 2003.

Administrator can access the domain correctly. I can too. No other user can
access it on any computer on the network. (One of the other users is a member
of Domain Admins.)

HERE IS THE FIX!!!
you MUST get the "browstat" utility. You could get it from:
http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/micro...0/browstat.zip

Put it in on your local drive and call up a DOS screen

go into the directory where you stored the browstat utility and type

BROWSTAT STATUS

You will get a reply stating that it cannot retrieve server list from
\\ABCDEFG workstation or server. Find that ABCDEFG workstation or
server and unplug it from the network and leave it unplugged for a
while. During that time, go back to ALL the workstations that are
having browsing problems and rescan the network. Initially, it will
take a while because its sees that ABCDEFG workstation or server is
down, so it has to go out on the network to find another valid master
browser. It will find one and give a valid display of all
servers/workstations on your network.

Hope this works for you as it did for me. I know, pretty fraustrating,
but as usual - that's microsoft's middle name.
