- TITLE :NT Err Msg: There Are No Entries in the List
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- If you use a NET VIEW command at a Windows NT command prompt on a
- network with both Windows NT and Windows for Workgroups servers, the
- following error message may appear:
-
- There are no entries in the list.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- This error occurs when a Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 system is
- a backup master browser in the workgroup and the Guest account has
- been disabled on the Windows NT master browser machine for the
- workgroup. If the primary master browser of a workgroup is busy, the
- backup master browser is used to report the list of servers.
-
- This error occurs because there is no centralized account database in
- a workgroup to validate the Windows for Workgroups backup master
- browser when it tries to connect to the master browser to obtain the
- list of servers. The Windows for Workgroups backup master browser has
- to use the local accounts database on the Windows NT master browser
- for authentication before it can obtain the list of servers.
-
- If the Guest account is disabled on the master browser, a Windows for
- Workgroups 3.1 machine may be unable to connect and retrieve the list
- of servers.
-
- Windows NT backup master browsers do not send account information
- when obtaining the list of servers and are not authenticated.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- Enable the Guest account on Windows NT machines in the workgroup to
- ensure that any Windows for Workgroups machine can connect to any
- Windows NT system for a browse list.
