| 46741 | 2002-05-02 00:52:00 | We run a small network of 4 computers using Windows 98. Recently we discovered The virus 'W32Mylife.B @mm' on 1 of the machines. After our antivirus software quarantined the infected files and restarted we discovered that the computer could not be seen in network neighborhood,or see other computers. We are able to locate the computer by using find computer, and then the computers can access data from each other, but this does have limitations. Windows has been reloaded from within windows & from the command prompt to no avail | Guest (0) | ||
| 46742 | 2002-05-02 09:00:00 | Hi Walter I'm no networking expert but I do run a small setup similar to yours. I had a similar problem recently and found that the TCP/IP properties had been spontaneously lost from the network card and TCP/IP boxes in network properties. I'd certainly check that all addressing is ok and that you can ping the network card from another network location. Apart from that, unless disk sharing has been blocked (and it sounds like you can't get that far anyway) I'm stumped too. Do some more checks and post again with the results and I'm sure you will get the help you need. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 46743 | 2002-05-02 21:59:00 | There's a file just called LMHOSTS I believe (it has no extension) where you are suppose to enter your computers IP addresses that are on your local network. However you don't have to do this. There's a setting in the Network properties in file and print sharing I think that has LMBrowser which you enable on all your machines. I think that only one computer likes to be the host and they always fight for who will win the LMHOST but enabling this should give them all equal rights and stop the fighting. |
