I have a small network of about 7 PC, some Win 98, 2000, XP Pro and XP Home.
I had to change our internal IP numbering from 198.x.x.x to 192.x.x.x (because I found out that 198 is not a public address...oops, my bad).
After I changed our DHCP and botted up all the PC, all but one worked. It was a Windows XP Home computer. This PC can see the Internet (using it right now) and it can ping all the other computers, but I can't connect to any previously mapped network drivers and when I try to browse the network (using View Workgroup Computers) I get:
"xxx is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."
I have tried to remove all the protocals, clients and services from the Connection properties and then reinstall them (found otu you can remove the TCP/IP from an XP box) and that still did not work. The Client for Microsoft Networks is installed and set to: Windows Locator.
I have tried to use nbtstat to clear out and then reload the list of names, but that did not do it either.
I know nothing changed on this PC other then booting it back up and letting it get a new IP. So what gives??!!
