Last time I had this problem

>>>
I have this workstation attach to a novell server with
other ws (98se-chinese). All ws are set to the same workgroup.
All workstations (actually 5 of them only) can see each other but
this one. All ws can see the novell server including this one.
(This could not be a hardware problem, right? )
I remember that it had worked before (everyone can see each
other) but somehow it is not now. Any idea what's gone wrong?
he next thing I think I will try is to set the Control
Panel->network-> again and if not setup the whole machine
again, (it is a new one and I can afford to do so) but I hope I
can get a second opinion first.

Thanks for inputting.

<<<
This time is more reired :

I had this ws redo the part on the network (as I said last time)
now when I click on the >network neighbour< on any other
computer I can see this ws. I tried to copy to and from other
computer with this ws and everything seems fine. But when I
tried to install Winfax Pro ver 10 on this ws and use it as a
fax server, it just would not work. The other ws said that they
cannot find this particular ws when launching the Winfax Pro.
I tried to 'ping' the ws in a dos prompt window on another ws
and it said it cannot find this particular ws. It happen with all
other ws. They can ping each other but this particular one. This
one can ping none of the others. Any ideas what happen??

Thanks again for inputs. I am desparate for them please.

Please help me out with this. Thanks
 
Hey guys, I am desparate for help, Please........
 
Is anybody out there generous enough to give me a hand???
 
You said this is a new ws. Has it ever functioned properly as part of this network? What do you have selected for a network client for this ws and did you install client software? Did you try using a different port on your router or hub for this work station? As well as doing a release and renew of the ip address for this ws?
