I have three other pc's that can find the server by name and my one pc could
for 3 months find the server by name, but now it suddenly can not. Any ideas!!
 
-check DNS server and settings
+ If there is a DNS server, see if you can reach it
+ Open command prompt and type nslookup
+ see if it connects, if it does type the name of the server and see if
nslookup shows you the ip

check WINS server and settings

compare the settings fro the other computers that do work. Maybe they have
an lmhost file with the address translation.
