system error 6118 in net view

​ I have a small home network with 2 desktops and a laptop inspiron 9300 wireless. Network was fine until a recent trip were we used the hotels wireless connection. Now I cannot access the home network. I get *****network is not accessible you may not have acess rights..... This is from the laptop only. I tried disabling the wireless and using the ethernet card and the same response. I tried using the net view command from the command prompt and received the system error 6118. I followed the directions from microsoft about adding ports to the firewall, and I still cannot see my network. If I go to start/run, and type in the IP address, everything is fine. I just cannot see the network through my network connections. Any suggestions to get this to work correctly. I have uninstalled both network cards, and reinstalled. I also renamed, and reconfigured the network, with no success. ​
​ Thanks ​

Try booting to Safe Mode with Network support.  If it works from there, it tells you that something running from startup in Normal mode is blocking the connection. 
 
Also, to help troubleshoot this problem, go to Start > Run and type cmd then click OK. In the command prompt window that opens, type ipconfig /all then hit the enter key. Write down the output from this command or select it and save it to a txt file, then copy this output into a reply to this message.

Also look at your home page in Internet Options. If it is not your normal homepage, change it and try again.

Your node type has been changed to peer to peer (it should be mixed).  There are two possible ways to fix this. 
 
First try this - open Network Connections, right click your wireless connection, then select Properties.  Click on the Wireless Networks tab, then click on the Advanced button.  Where it says "Networks to access" make sure that "Any available network" is slelcted.
 
If that doesn't work, try the suggestion involving editing the registry in the following post:
 
 
Let us know which of these fixes the problem.

Thank you for your assistance. I was able to get the network visible and working after running through the registry editor. The only thing I am not sure of is that you said that the node type should be mixed, it is coming up now as "broadcast". The desktop pc's that I have show a node type as unknown.
Thanks Again
Dan
