delete your ms client and tcp/ip and then reload them.  it should correct
the problem -- make sure you give your system enough time to load the driver

Subject: [PCBUILD] Peer to peer network


> I have a small (4 cpu) peer to peer network.
> An AMD based Aptiva with W98, Office 2000, 32M Ram
> A Cyrix 686-P2 with W98SE, Office 2000, 64M Ram
> A Pentium 100 based Dell with W98, Office 97, 16M Ram
> A Toshiba laptop with W95, Office 97, 16M Ram
> Network is cabled with Cat 5 wiring
> All cards and hub are 10/100 with autosensing (indicating operating at
100)
> Everything worked fine for the first month or so.
> Now - the Toshiba refuses to access the network (even itself).
> The 686 recognizes the Aptiva and the Dell, but operates at a veeerrrrrry
> slow speed.
> The Aptiva and the Dell get along without any problems and the Aptiva can
> talk to the 686 at normal speed.
> All the settings appear to be correct (i.e., nothing changed from original
> setups)
> Tried changing the card in the Toshiba with another known good card (same
> make/model)
>
> Would appreciate any comments/suggestions on how to troubleshoot system.
