Networking not installed/properly configured 3

[Luv2bSly]

In the System Properties on the Network Identification tab the Network ID button is grayed out and am not able to login/see the network. The message written is as follows:
NOTE: The identification of the computer cannot be changed because: - Networking is not installed or is not properly configured.

I unistalled/re-installed Networking Services and Other Network File and Print Servers.

All critical updates have been applied. Scanned for viruses and have latest definitions installed.

Any ideas?

Have to ask, is the NIC working?

Administrative Tools, Services
Check that the Worstation, DHCP, Remote Access, and Windows Time services are all running.

You will need to login as the Administrator.

Yes, the NIC is working. Just unable to login to the server/mount drives, use network printers, etc.

Thanks for all the ideas so far. I will try them and let you know.

Thanks to bcastner for the tip on checking services.

It turned out that Client for Microsoft Networks somehow got uninstalled. Once I installed that, rebooted, and rejoined the domain (join a workgroup, reboot, join domain, reboot) and all is working again.

Thanks for all the ideas !!!

Thanks for the tips. I just googled the error message in quotes, and it took me right here.
Tek-Tips is better than advertised.
