ARRRRRRRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm about ready to shoot this machine!

Been trying for 4 hours to get my 4th system back on my LAN to get it cracking again....

No matter what I try, I simply cannot get it to see the other three, or any of the other three to see it...

Fresh NT 4.0 install... same workgroup, unique IP, in the same subnet, setup (as far as my weary eyes can tell) exactly like the other three NT4.0 systems... (except this machine has no modem, hence no RAS)

It's bound to be a software prob, but I can't find it....

Just to be sure, I switched cables and cards out... link light on the hub and card shows a connect... but Network Neighborhood only reflects ITSELF alone...

Any ideas out there? Help! TA is losing 400+ blocks a day....

It's a shot in the dark, but have you tried moving the nic to a different slot?

Oops, forgot to come back here and update this one....

Turns out, that even though I called myself having checked everything a million times, I had mistyped one digit incorrectly in the IP address of the offending machine.... DOH!

Thanks for the response though!

Just for future reference. DO NOT USE NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD TO VERIFY CONNECTIVITY. If you had used ping, like you ALWAYS should when using TCP/IP and have connectivity problems, you could have narrowed down the problem and likely solved it much earlier.

Hey dont feel bad, I've done that a million times. For me, its because of changing jobs so much. Cant keep all these damn IPs straight!
