We have several computers networked to this one. This one has Windows XP
home edition SP2, and a satellite internet connection that the other
computers use. I have had this network working for years like this in the
past.
Recently, because of a virus, I reinstalled windows ont his computer, but
not a clean boot. Somehow it has messed up the security settings on the
network to the other computers. [Actually, I can get the network working at
times, but then it will "disappear" in a while from this computer.] All the
other computers can see each other, but not this one when it goes bad.
If I go into safe mode, as administrator, all the other computers will be
there, but not in regular mode (even though I am an administrator user).
Also I can ping the other computers using their ip address from this one in
regular mode, but not using their name.
I am convinced it has something to do with security settings, but I do not
yet know how to fix this problem. I have downloaded the Windows Resourse Kit
Tools, and was able to fix another problem with it. Any other suggestions
or help will be greatly appreciated.
