Depends on your OS.  In 9x, run 'winipcfg' for nt based, ipconfig.
 
For ipconfig, using 'ipconfig /all' displays all information..including WINS
and DNS

Aha!.  Where do I find those settings so that I can check?

Sounds like the broadband connections changed their DNS or WINS settings, so
they can't resolve the computer names anymore.

Cross post AccessD, AccessL



This is slightly related as my users can't synchronise unless we can get
them connected :(



Previously my users had normal modems and were able to dial into a server
and map drives ok.



Two of them have connected to broadband lines.  Now when they disconnect the
broadband connection and use their modems to connect to the server they are
able to make a connection but are not able to map drives. The error they get
is -



"The following error occurred while trying to connect F: to
\\OAServer\OAServer <file://\\OAServer\OAServer> 


 The computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure you typed it
correctly, and try again."



  

Does anyone know of any issues with broadband (or similar high speed
connections) that interfere when going back to normal 56k modems?
