This is the same thing I get when I run browstat on the XP desktop.

The browser requires anonymous access to each computer that it's going to list.

Also, you may need to read about Vista, and authentication. This issue affects
access to NAS devices.

Then, let's diagnose the problem, using logs from "browstat status", "ipconfig
/all", "net config server", and "net config workstation", from each computer.
Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely

Thanks for all your help. I solved my problem the "easy" (but expensive)
way. I got rid of the Simpletech NAS drive and got an Iomega one. Problem
solved; unlike the Simpletech drive, the Iomega does not try to become the
master browser if the desktop is rebooted. My Vista laptop does become the
master browser if the destop is rebooted, and remains the master browser, but
it's not a problem because it "lists" all the computers on the network, both
Vista and XP (and the XP machines are able to browse the Vista computers in
"My Network Places)". It was only the Simpletech drive being master browser
that made the Vista computers not "browsable."

That's the simplest solution, for sure. Thanks for letting us know. We now see
another criteria for choosing an NAS drive.
