mixed system problem (2000 server, xp computers, local domain)

D

Doctor In

I upgraded our network (36 computers) to XP pro two weeks ago. we are
on a 2000 server. Five of the computers had numerous problems, so I
reformated them prior to installing XP. The 31 that were upgraded to
XP work fine. The five that I reformated don't connect to the network.
Message on stations is "local network is not available". It is an
entermitant problem. They will show the network and connect one day,
and not the next two days. Going nuts trying to find a fix. Sometimes
they will even show the network, where the printers are, etc, but
still not connect with it. IF I am loged on the server, they never
connect, if I am not, sometimes they will.

Any help would be appreciated.

Pls check your DNS setting on your workstation, it should point to your W2k
server. If this is correct then check your DNS server setting.
