I have just install a new HDD on a Dell laptop and
connected it up to a w2k server - it logs on and pulls the
profile from the server, can access all the files on the
server but does not allow you to change the user's
password (can't find the server) or when I share a local
printer it is not displayed in the printer list neither
does my Anti virus recognise it when I deploy it over the
network.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks
 
Is it loggin in the domain allright? What does the IPCONFIG/all look like?
Everything should be pointing to your server-IP.

Marina,

The IPCONFIG tells me it's all pointing to the server but
I have since logged on with another log in and it all
works fine. I'll delete the 'problem' userid (I run active
directory) and recreate and see if that works - strange
though!
If you have any other thoughts I would appreciate them.
Thanks for getting back

Marina,

No, the userid worked fine. I did initially copy the
userid so this time I will set it up from scratch and
hopefully this will do the trick.

Thanks
