2 year old computer problem fixed WOOT!
for about 2 years now, i have been unable to have my main computer browse the network to see other comptuers. every time i tried to fix the problem i would just keep hitting dead ends and banging my head on a wall. today i decided to take another go at it and WOOT! i found the problem. stupid missing file. copied the file from my other system and it works fine. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
