I recently added a new point to an NT Server network. The problem comes in when I try to connect a workstation to the network. others on the network can't get access to network resources. I've already tried installing a fresh copy Win98 SE as well as checking the terminations both at the hub and at the workstation but everything seems to be in order. How can i resolve this?

New point as in new hub or just a new workstation? The first thing would be to double check you are not violating the 5-4-3 rule. I would also double check the network card to make sure it is not doing something unusual and flooding the network withtraffic.

I assume that you have already tried a new cable and a different port to ensure that one of these is not the problem.

i'm trying to add a new workstation using cat5 utp cable to an 8 port hub which already has four workstations connected to it, and is connected to a 12 port hub with 9 workstations. protocols in use are tcp/ip and netbeui.
