I have one user, who cannot browse the network on one machine. if she goes to any other machine, she can. if anyone else uses her computer, they can see the network. She IS logged in to the network, because her home path is displayed, and the logon script runs, she just can't browse. the problem is, she can't run a program from one of the servers because she can't see that server. thanks for any help

If you don't use roaming profiles, I'd say there is something corrupted on her profile on that machine. My suggestion would be to delete her profile on that machine and copy a profile from one of the machines that works.

Without knowing the OS of the machine, I can't be much more specific but that's where I would start.

If your running Windows 95 try disabling User profiles. You can do this by these steps. 1. Restart Windows 95 2. In the logon dialog box, click the cancel button. 3. Click start, settings, control panel. 4. Double-click the passwords control panel. 5. Select the user profiles tab. 6. Click "all users of this pc use the same preferences and desktop." 7. Click OK. Restart Windows 95 again and your profile free. Hope this helps.

I used to have the same problem and I solved the problem by

Go to windows explorer and Find Computer - give the server name and I'm pretty sure that you will see the server, map the server to a drive and then you will be always get it on that drive, make sure to click the connect tab on restart

If the client machine is Win95 or 98, the password file may be corrupted. Try searching for and deleting the PWL file for that user (ie- .PWL in the Windows folder).
