N’work was ok until today when we had to reboot the WINS srvr
Domain running NT & 2K servers only
We have a total of 18 srvs over multiple sites
10 srvs at HQ, including the DHCP, PDC
1 srv at each remote location (either NT or 2k srvs, which are used as BDC’s or trusts, not quite sure to be honest)
Since we rebooted the WINS srv, NT pc’s at HQ have a problem accessing a (Finance) 2k srv at a remote location.
Finance usrs at HQ want to save files to the finance srv. However, after the reboot on the WINS srv they can no longer access the Finance srvr, though they can see it in network n’hood.
Prob Descript
— — —
When logged in as Dom ADMIN or a dom user on the problem NT PC’s.
Users still have their mapped drives to N:\Finance and the mapped drives are still mapping when you look under my computer but mapped drives are not accessible by anyone including Domain Admins when they dbl click and try to open N:\Finance
(Domain Admin gets the following dialog box
Login with the following credentials and a username and passowrd box pops up)
(Dom usrs get Access denied dialog box)
I can’t access the Finance srv from N’work N’hood either, though i can see it along with the rest of the PC’s and srvs on the n’work.
I can ping the Finance srvr by pinging the
I can connect to the srvr if i use Remote desktop Console from the problem NT Pc’s
When i RDC into the srvr i can open n’work places on the srvr and see in n’work places the name of problem NT PC’s (IT F34, etc, however when i right click the NT pc’s have no DNS name)
DNS & WINS settings look ok via IPconfig, now here’s the catch
When i log onto a 2k or XP pc i have no problem at all with the ITFinance srvr
I am logging in with the same usrname and pass on the XP Pc’s as i was with the NT PC’s.
What could my prob be?
Any help/Adive greatly appreciated
