One box keeps vanishing from Workgroup...?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Howdy,

 

We have 6 systems on our office lan...

 

Two are Win 2000 Pro, and four are XP.

 

One of the XP machines frequently (make that very

frequently) disappears from the Workgroup when viewed from

other systems.

 

At that point, rebooting the vanishing machine cures things,

but only for a while. It might be fine for a few hours, but

then pffft, and it's gone again.

 

What might be causing this, and how can I correct it?

 

Very sincere thanks,

--

Kenneth

It might be helpful to post your question to the networking group where more

people with those specific skills hang out.
