I had a power outage the other night. My system came back up but now I am no
longer able to connect to any of my shares on any computer. I receive the
"Network Path not found" error.

From my other systems I can access the shares on the bad computer with no
problems.

Here is what I have done.

1. Made sure no firewall(s) were running.
2. Ping the other machines with no problem, name lookup also works
3. uninstalled the network card replaced it with another card.
4. changed the workgroup name and IP addresses of each computer
5. reinstalled sp2.
6. uninstalled both Microsoft client and file and printshare then
reinstalled.

I can do everything dealing with the network except access windows shares on
this computer. Any help would be great. I would like to fix this rather
than blow the system away and reinstall clean.

Thanks

AJ,

Looks like you have thought out a lot of possibilities. So let's start from the
beginning. Look at "ipconfig /all" from the problem computer, and from 2
others.

Here is the ouput of ipconfig one from my laptop and the other from the home

OK, AJ, both ipconfig logs look OK except for one detail. With Node Type =
Hybrid, and a WINS server defined, a computer will ask the WINS server for an
address. Do you have a WINS server?
