Server problems with NT Clients

G

Guest

N'work was ok until today when we had to reboot the WINS srvr

Domain running NT & 2K servers only

We have a total of 18 srvs over multiple sites

10 srvs at HQ, including the DHCP, PDC

1 srv at each remote location (either NT or 2k srvs, which are used as BDC's
or trusts, not quite sure to be honest)

Since we rebooted the WINS srv, NT pc's at HQ have a problem accessing a
(Finance) 2k srv at a remote location.

Finance usrs at HQ want to save files to the finance srv. However, after the
reboot on the WINS srv they can no longer access the Finance srvr, though
they can see it in network n'hood.

Prob Descript
-- -- --

When logged in as Dom ADMIN or a dom user on the problem NT PC's.

Users still have their mapped drives to N:\Finance and the mapped drives are
still mapping when you look under my computer but mapped drives are not
accessible by anyone including Domain Admins when they dbl click and try to
open N:\Finance

(Domain Admin gets the following dialog box
Login with the following credentials and a username and passowrd box pops up)

(Dom usrs get Access denied dialog box)

I can't access the Finance srv from N'work N'hood either, though i can see
it along with the rest of the PC's and srvs on the n'work.

I can ping the Finance srvr by pinging the <Servername> or the <IP Address
of the Finance srvr> when logged in as Dom ADmin or Dom Usr and get a reply

I can connect to the srvr if i use Remote desktop Console from the problem
NT Pc's

When i RDC into the srvr i can open n'work places on the srvr and see in
n'work places the name of problem NT PC's (IT F34, etc, however when i right
click the NT pc's have no DNS name)

DNS & WINS settings look ok via IPconfig, now here's the catch
When i log onto a 2k or XP pc i have no problem at all with the ITFinance srvr

I am logging in with the same usrname and pass on the XP Pc's as i was with
the NT PC's.

What could my prob be?
Any help/Adive greatly appreciated

You have a reply in another group. Please don't multipost - if you need to
