Are you sure you have the windows network config right, Are you sure you

have it logging into the NT Domain? 

If you go to the network settings and click on the client for Microsoft

Networks does it have the Correct Domain?

Is the Primary Login set to client for Microsoft Network?

We had run into a naming problem at one of our sites, maybe that could

be it? We had a computer that was setup perfectly, yet it wouldn't log

into the Network. it turned out that win95 had let the computer have an

illegal name, so the computer was refused when it went to login. All we

had to do was delete a character from the name, and it logged in

perfectly.

Have you tried to ping the servers? just to double check the ability to

see the servers?

I hope that some of this helps you figure out what has gone wrong.

thanks,
