Thank you for your suggestions. Tried those things, and
still having the same problems. IPCONFIG returned a node
type of unknown. The registry had no NodeType nor
DhcpNodeType entries, so I created a NodeType and set the
value to 4. The only network connection with the
firewall set was the dial-up connection, but still got
the same problem when I disabled it. I also tried using
NetBEUI and unbinding IP from file services, but still
same issue.
What is really wierd is that one XP Pro workstation works
perfectly and can even access the two that have problems
as well as the 98 system. One can access the 98 system,
but hangs when trying to print to a printer on it. The
third can sometimes see the workgroup and sometimes gets
the error. Even when it accesses the workgroup, it still
cannot see the other workstations.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Dwaine
