The moral of the story is that if you can't browse your network, you
have 2
or more machines fighting to be PCD.
You seem to be confusing the roles of the Primary Domain Controller
(PDC) or Master
Browser (MB).
The PDC is the server that provides user and resource authentication
for a given domain.
The MB is the server that checks the NetBIOS network looking for
hosts. It is the tool
responsible for making sure that pretty icons appear when
double-clicking on Network
Neighbourhood.
Your problem stems from the fact that Windows XP was trying to
dominate your network. Both solutions suggested would fix the problem.
My bad. I was thinking of going to bed when I typed that. To fix my
previous statement:
"The moral of the story is that if you can't browse your network, you
have 2 or more machines fighting to be Master Browser."

Hope you won't be thinking of going to bed when you come up with a
solution for me ;)
