[AccessD] OT Lost shares

I suspect that the reason was that Windows does not automatically refresh
the list of computers on the LAN. There's some time interval that it waits
before rebroadcasting them (if that's the right term), something around 30
minutes I think. So when you powered them all up the next day the network
found all the new computer names.

Something like that anyway. Jim might have a better explanation.

Hi Lambert:

After renaming the computers we could not get the machines to recognize each
other on the network. We had turn-off and on each system a couple of times.
This morning when I can in the computers were now communicating.... 

Anyway the system is now working just fine and I am not sure why it was not,
before but it now is. Must be from living right.

Thanks for the message and help. Now I feel a little silly.

Have a good day.
Jim

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
