Have you tried recompiling your kernel?


Oh wait...wrong OS

doesn't win xp have a firewall when you join a domain??

check to see if a firewall is installed on your winxp machine.

Probably on the wrong workgroup. Also try refreshing your IP.

Make sure you are logging on to workstation only and not to the domain.

home network? shouldn't be on a domain, just a workgroup frmo what i've seen.

Why would you EVER join your personal computer to a school's domain? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. I don't even join my school computers to the school' domain.

because i can't use any networking features at all if the computer isn't on the domain. so no internet, no email, no printing, no nothing.

Sometime you don't have a choice. Some school require all computers using the school's network to be on the domain. Easier for them to keep track of all the workstations.

no workgroups when your computer is stuck in a domain

if your computer is part of a domain, you can't have it not on the domain for 1 user and on the domain for others. i don't know why it has to be that way, but it is.

Make sure you are logging on to workstation only and not to the domain.

yep, thats about the only way to do it, but they still don't always play nice

What exactly do you mean by it not playing nice?

it'll take forever to access the other computers and printers on the network. and sometimes it will be able to access them, but not vice-versa.
