I recently networked two PCs at home. Everything seems to be working fine, except when we log on to either PC, we get a message saying "no domain server". How do I get rid of this message and does this message mean there is something else I need to do?

Sounds like something is telling the computer that it should be logging in to a domain. The first place to check is in Network Properties. In the Control Panel, click the Network Icon. Is Client for Microsoft Networks listed as an installed component? If so, highlight it and click Properties. Is the box ntitled "Log on to Windows NT domain" checked? If so, uncheck it and remove anything in the box labeled "Windows NT domain:" Reboot the computer. You shouldn't see anything referencing Domain in the log on screen (Were you before?) nor should you see any error messages referencing a domain server.

Hope this clears up your problem.

I can help you. I am a network adminisrator. go into network setup and where it askes if you are on a buisness network with a domain controler select the box that says "network with no domain controler and reboot the systems. you will have to do this on both units. feel free to contact me via e-mail to arrange a one on one realtime chat and i can walk to throught it. only takes about 3 mins. moeses@hotmail.com

There seems to be some problem with settings.in case of a network as u had mention , just try keeping the client for microsoft network with no additional settings other than the default ones and keep the logon as windows logon. also keep only the netbios as the default and the only protocol .
