TCP/IP Address Change

[Guest]

I have a 4 PC network using a Peer to Peer arrangement with a workgroup. I changed the TCP/IP addresses from static 192.168.1.x to DHCP 192.168.0.x. I can no longer browse to network computers via network neighborhood, but the existing net use bat files I wrote before are working. Any ideas on how to repair this?

You may need to wait upwards of 48 minutes for the browse list and or
wins/dns to reflect the change you made.

Once you designated one computer in your network a Static IP address, you need to give all the other computers the same IP address format and subnet mask (usually 255.255.255.0). If you don't want to go through this, simply go to the computer that you changed and under command prompt type: ipconfig/release (depends on what OS you're running).

We have waited a few days now and still cannot browse the network. All computers are in the 192.168.0.x range with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask. There is no WINS Server or internal DNS server.

Check Event Viewer for errors. Is there a browse master?

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters

Set all but the pc designated as browse master to

MaintainServerList = "Auto"
IsDomainMaster = "False"
