Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Thanks, but that's just backwards from here.
This errant Windows 2000 computer gets along fine with all the Windows 98 SE boxes but can't see or be seen by the other Windows 2000 boxes. I could see it the other way around, but this is kinda weird.

All the Windows 98 SE computers all can see all the computers on the network, 98 or W2K, and access any that have shares.

To check master browser problems we shut down all the computers and brought them up one at a time. No change at any stage.

New Flakey hub or switch somewhere?
I know it's unlikely, but maybe there's a flakey [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=208819|switch] in the path from the Win2k machine.

Does the bad Win2k machine have a system name or IP address that conflicts with another Win2k machine? Typo in the [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=184447|hosts] file?

No, I don't think a bad switch would really act the way you describe, or the other things, but when you've checked everything, you have to check something else.

I'm about all tapped out. Luck!

Cheers,
Scott.
New Switched switch ports with a working W2K box . . .
. . no effect. The good one was still good and the bad one still bad.
