Hi
Any idea why my PCs stop talking to each other correctly after about
30 minutes?
There is something weird going on. I have two PS - a desktop and a
laptop.
They are both on the same Domain. But why is it that after a while
(say 30 minutes
sometimes longer) my desktop suddenly stops being able to "see" my
Laptop?
When I try to navigate to the laptop from the desktop through Windows
Explorer using:
=> My Network Places > Entire Network > OurDomainName > LaptopName
there is a very long pause and finally it comes back with a dialog-box
saying
"Connecting to LaptopName" and asks for my UserName and PW.
But when I enter it, it moans at me saying "The user name you typed is
the same
as you logged in with. That user name has already been tried. A domain
controller
can not be found to verify that user name".
But when I log off and log on again - it works first time. But that is
a pain to have to keep logging off !
Strangely my Laptop can usually still see my desktop PC without a re-
boot.
What's going on - any thoughts?
