Richard, I appreciate the help but my problem is that I am
not able to logon to get to the desktop. I am not able to
enter a domain at the logon screen and my user name and
password alone is not validated by the server to allow me
to get to the desktop to change the settings on Network
Neighborhood. If I could get to the desktop then I would
be able to change the settings.
Thanks though.
