Part of My Network keeps disappearing

[treestump]

Hi All
I seem to be having a problem with a couple of my machines running Windows 2000.

We have 2 networks setup. One is under the domain and the other is just the standard Windows Workgroup. The problem is when I go to Windows Explorer to access one of the other machines on one of the networks, not all of the network shows up. This seems to happen off and on.

I am suspecting a virus but all of my scans are coming up clean.
Sometimes if I delete my temp files, the entire network shows up again.
I think that my only other choice might be to reformat the hard drive and clean everything out.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

I suspect a Master Browser issue. See the Troubleshooting tips under the sections Browser Issues, and Workgroup at Bob Lin's site:
