Scenario: Dell Optiplex 755 Desktop - re-loaded XP Pro, service pack 2 - had to get Dell's help to re-load Drivers, in correct sequence - now, this computer will not connect to the LAN, (3 other computers and server, thru 16 port hub - the other 3 computers work fine - did NOT re-load them, so original config from Dell) - I can ping the server, but not any of the other 3 computers - cannot 'see' the network to find the printers attached to the server - also, even tho the ping to the server indicates fast ping (<1ms), the one program I can access at the server is extremely slow now, takes ~ 30 seconds to retrieve information from server, whereas before, immediate retrieval - also, had to use the server's IP address to access, since I cannot see the 'workgroup' sb-dc1 (used to access this server's program via the sb-dc1 workgroup path - the other 3 computers use the sb-dc1 'path') -- HELP :) --- thanks, T.L. |

First thing I can think of is to start up Windows, find your system CD (the one that came with the Motherboard/PC) and install the parts you are missing - if it is a VIA chipset, it is probably the VIA4INONE?

Check its settings (Windows firewall can be accessed through control panel, or through network connection properties). |
