Hello,

The IT team at work just upgraded my laptop (Win 2000). I
think they upgraded me to Active Directory. The laptop
won't work on my home network anymore.

At home, I have an NT4 workstation (called DIPPY) with
printer and shared directories. I have a user account on
the NT4 system with same username/password as my login on
the work network. The workgroup setting on DIPPY is set
to "SPUD", which is what the domain at work is called.

Previously, I could connnect my laptop to shares &
printers on DIPPY; the laptop seemed to
automatically "know" to log on to the SPUD workgroup
rather than SPUD domain.

My laptop still "sees" DIPPY when I click on the Network
icon. However, if I double-click on DIPPY, I get the
following message:

\\dippy is not accessible.
There are currently no logon servers available to service
the logon request.


Very strange. Do I need to change something on DIPPY to
make this work?

Thanks,
Nandan
