Network Issues

Well damn, there is still something a bit wonky like FrizzleFried situation going on with mine.
Because now one of the pc's that had been able to see this one all day long can't see it.
But now this one see's and can access all the others. (three others, four total)
No settings have been changed in between, just simple re-boots.

I do understand his frustration.

Sometimes one pc or another just doesn't see eachother and vice versa. And after reading this thread again I played with mine half the friggin' day trying to find the cause, because the pc I'm on right now would not see the other pc's. I could surf the net, all network settings were dead on, yada, yada.
And just like his issue, the other pc's could see and access this one just fine.

Just now I unplugged the router power, let it set a second or two, plugged it back in..... linked right up with the other pc's just fine.

So maybe he needs to look at the router side of things. (just an idea)

BTW - I have a Linksys WRT54G router.

EDIT: Just noticed it took a reboot and a little time for everything to show up on each computer correctly. So there may be a time delay depending on if one of the PC's has been elected as the master browser server and it's waiting for basically a ping from each of the pc's type thing. (or something to that effect)

Hi Kevin, 

Thanks for the suggestion,  but it's a No-Go.  This problem has plagued me for over a year now... through many "recycles" of the power to the NIC... but for shits and giggles I did it again... no go.

Kevin Mullins:
Yeah, I feel your pain.
I thought I was onto something, but after getting mine to connect and just leaving it set overnight I'm back to square one again as well.
The one I'm on now won't connect to the "network" but the others can see it just fine.
And that's all I did was leave them all running when I went to bed, no changes, no re-boots, nothing.

PIA  :angry:

They're all running XP Pro if that's any help.

In addition to trying a different NIC, if you can try a crossover cable directly between the cocktail and the main machine. If it works with a crossover cable then you may have some sort of router issue, though I doubt it since communication works one way.  You try swapping the NIC yet?

Thats a decent suggestion, as it removes the router from the equation. I wanted to add to it. If you do try a crossover, make sure to assign the machines a static IP address.
