Workstation disappears in network places
In short, I sometimes can see my computer in My Network
Places and sometimes cannot. Details below..... I have a network with a domain "wca.local" (server-- Microsoft Server 2003 and clients running XP). I have a workgroup "wca_admin" (all ME computers) that I'm trying to get rid of and add all ME computers to wca.local domain. I've changed the identification to wca instead of wca_admin. I've changed the clients to not log on to wca_admin. I've renamed the machines and check the settings to make sure DHCP, DNS, WINS, etc were set up correctly on ME machine. When I restart, I can log into wca.local domain, however, my network places doesn't show my computer in the domain. A few minutes later, it shows my computer. Then a few minutes later, it does not show it again. I left for a few hour hoping it would refresh itself or something...nothing..still no show. I move to another computer (ME added to domain) and can see the first ME computer but not the one I'm sitting at. I can see the server, access files on the server, install a printer using TCP/IP, etc, but I cannot see my computer on the network from my end or the server end (except for a few short minutes here and there). I can ping the server. I checked the ipcfg and it is receiving IP from correct server and DNS, DHCP, gateway show correct things. I read something about the IRG maybe being different, so I checked. The Intel network card and the monitor have the same IRQ (11). It wouldn't let me change it in system info or installing network card manually. I didn't get to the BIOS configurations. But I'm not sure this is my problem anyway. What am I missing? Thanks in advance. Jen |
