Re: Cannot Browse the Domain in the Network Neighborhood

David,

Thank you very much for the information. I removed the network card and
successfully removed the extra IP address for the Domain Master Browser in
the WINS server. Apparently the second nic's IP address was given ownership
of all the WINS records before and that disabled the network browsing
capabilities in My Network Places. I'm no expert so I couldn't explain
exactly why it happened or why it caused the problem.

Thanks again for your help. The other posts that I've viewed are leap-frog
conversations that seem to lead nowhere.

I do have another question and will post it seperately as well as here. We
recently had a disaster recovery situation where I had to recreate the domain
here at our office. The domain was in a test phase and no backups were
considered useable. This system is not mission critical and so a reinstall
was the faster option over Domain Recovery tools. When I recreated the
domain, I gave it the same name as the previously existing domain before the
domain controller crashed. Since then I have had random KDC errors talking
about duplicate service principal names. My question is whether or not it is
bad practice to replace one domain controller (and domain) with another of
the same name. Hopefully some of that made sense. Anyway thanks again.
