[dba-Tech] Notwork Not working

My SWAG on this is that the machine that you reloaded was the network
browser (it held the network/domain/workgroup membership info.  Normally
when the network browser fails (leaves the network) another computer is
promoted in (automatically).  From what I've read, this can happen
faster if you have NetBIOS (for TCPIP) installed as one of your network
protocols.

Tina:

I never created that disk.  Just ran the wiz on all the computers.
They're
all WXP, workgroup name is WORKGROUP.  I tried re-running the wiz - no
cigar.

Hi Rocky,

Do you still have the setup disk that you created when you first created
the
network?  You know, the one you had to take to each computer to copy the
network settings?  If you still have that, have you tried it?

Failing that, what happens if you build a new network?

My network experience is quite limited (just my own little office
network),
and this is just about all I know on the subject. 

I'll be very interested in learning how it works out for you.

Tina
