[AccessD] OT Lost shares

Hi John:

Problem seems to have resolved it's self. See previous email for details.
Maybe it is a Win98 thing.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

I agree. I think its because of the way w98 announces and caches P2P
computers and shares. If you remove the share from the troublesome PCs and
then add a new share it will probably show up. You can sometimes force it to
refresh better if you go through the Netwrok places | Entire Network |
Workgroup avenue with explorer.

I'm pretty convinced that it's the fact that you renamed the computer. Have
you tried going to the renamed machine and re-sharing a folder? Does it then
show up on other computers on this (peer-to-peer?) network?

Hi Erwin:

Good thought but...

The workgroup did not change but the renamed members do not show up any more
in the network list. (This was a Windows 98 network.) That is why it seems
unusual.

It is normal that shares are lost when a computer changed name. If the
computer is no longer there, shares are gone to....

Network environment does not show up computers is probably due to you also
changed the workgroup name. Windows will only show up computers from the
same workgroup in a P2P network.

OT: I know this is completely off topic but I remember seeing something a
while back but just can not re-find it and will need the information
tomorrow.

Hi All:

Does anyone know why all the shares are lost from a station when the
computer name is changed? Reconnecting the local shares has to be done by
entering the UNC for each computer and printer and the local network no
longer shows up in the file explorer display. (The network being worked on
is an old Win98 one.)

Any help in this area would be much appreciated.

Jim
