No. The power outage turned off the router and all my computers at the same time. None of them were harmed. When the power came back, the router powered on and then one by one, we turned on the...

HAHAHAHH!!

Talk about nature!

The other night I was sitting there watching a movie with my bro when the power went out in the back part of the house. This powered down and then turned on the...

Um.. no. I haven't thought about that. I will do that and get back to you about it.

I know that it is disconnected (it has that IP that starts with 169.#.#.#), but it shows that it is connected to the network. It has working before too. I mean it has been on this network since the...

Thanks for the help guys. We figured it out!

What it was was a virus that hit only a few computers that were sending out useless packets and clogging the network.
Symantec had not gotten word of...

Thanx for the words of advice.

We have already went to Symantec (That is who our Anti-virus is) and they have not heard anything about this.
All computers (expcept Laptops) are stationed in the...

Ok... NEW THING:
I did a system restore... IT WORKED! But when I ran Ad-Aware, it deleted the connection again. I tried to do another restore, but it won't wokr now. What do to?

PRO

OK... new problem... I can get it to PING the server...
But it still will not go anywhere.

Will do! I will le you know the progress when I get done.

Ok, so I was wrong.

It is taking an IP address from the radio down the hall when it should be taking the IP from the server.

Ok... Found out a way to fix it all. They made a disk that has DS Client on it. Run that program, and the 98s can log in. THanx for all the help!

Sorry I wansn't clear on that...
It is a user that has been added to the domain, and I am adding them as an administrator to the local machine.

OS:WINXP

When I try to add a user to become the Admin, I get this error

The user can not be added because the following error has occurred:

I just got done talking to the Techs again, and they told me that the only way to fix this, is to upgrade all the computers to Win2K.

ARE THEY NUTS?! That means that I have at least 30 computers...

Nevermind. I just got word from the technology staff that there is something wrong with the 2003 Server that they put in that is not letting some of the 98s log on.

Any ideas on that?

Hmm... well, I have a feeling that it is her computer.
She has been able to log onto the domain all last year. PLUS the fact that I can log in as her on another computer.

I guess that would be a...

She can cannot log onto the network, but she can get on the Internet that is filtered through the network.

She tries to put in her password, and it says...

Changed the Cable, Turned the Router on and off, Computer is on A network, just not mine. The other computers can see each other, I have tried the command IPCONFIG/RELEASE_ALL, but that did not work....

well, the last post that I made was solved.
Here is something that I have not seen before:

I went to my aunt's house, like normal. While I was there, my brother used it and contracted a nasty...

DMR,
I am at my aunt's house right now. I will have to see if it works at my house. If it does, I thank you in advance.

If not, I will be posting in a few days.

Let me start over:
HOME: The network that I have only has 4 computers. They are all connected by a router. I am using DHCP for these computers. There was no problem when I left my house.

AUNT'S:...

I guess I wasn't clear..
I have tried pinging the other computers, but there is nothing that is going through.
It is only one comptuer that is doing this. All the others can 'see' each other.
...

I have a home network that I set up myself. I go to my aunt's house, and they have a network.

I can hook up with their network, no problem.
BUt I just returned home and my network connection...

ok. but what about my network problem?

XP Home.
I know I need to have ME replaced with XP. I am tired of all the CRAP that it gives me. What is a good laptop to get?
Right now I am using a Sony Vaio w/ Pentium II, 10GB HD (Sorry, that's...

Okay, now that my RJ-45 problem was solved, I have run into another problem:

I have 3 machines on one small network: a 98, ME and a XP.
I don't have the 98 set up yet, but I have the ME and XP up...

This is the back of it. Is...

Not Exactly. I was looking for the panel part. You know, the part that is in the wall that you connect the wire to. There are wires on the back and I Have no idea how to wire the back. There is a...

I need to know how to wire a RJ45 8-conductor jack. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Okay, this is freaky. I just turned the thing on and then put in the password and it worked.
But there was an error message: Error 53 I think

I have another computer here that will not connect to the network. I was thinking that it might be the settings, so I changed them to the corrdct ones and it still does not work.
There is a light on...

Well *ahem* that was an interesting bit if a fight. Anyways, to everyone, thank you for the suggestions.

big_k105: No, there is no internet sharing in this network. We only have a 56k and I don't think that it would be a good idea to have the phone line tied up in that many knots. The main thing that we...
