| Hello good people
I am running a home network with 5 pc. They are all connected to internet
through a linksys router and work just fine. One of the pc which is w2k, the
network places properties folder is blank. I cannot see the existing
connection therefore cannot change any network components or make new
connctions. Although NIC is fine since it is on the internet I have
reinstalled driver no use and now this machine is not accesible from other
machines.
Any thoughts or references I can use.
TIA

What are the results from pinging 127.0.0.1? Does it fail? Ping
other PCs on the network by IP address. Then ping PCs by name. Is it
a Workgroup or Domain? Workgroup name verified (from system
properties if Net Places properties are unavailable)? Can you see the
network connection by setting your Control Panel to a menu rather than
a link in your Taskbar properties and clicking
Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->Network Connections-->Local Area
Connection?

Ping is fine both by name and ip address. All pc are in a workgroup. And
when I go to the control panel the network folder is also blank. The network
is fine as every pc is on the internet and with the exception of the w2k the
rest are ok.

| Try looking at your TCP/IP settings on the network, are they set to Auto
Detect or Manual - I have had problems in the past with "mixed mode" setups.
Also, if manually configured, check that your units are all on the same
subnet i.e. 192.168.0.XX.
Cheers,
Grant
