HI to all. About 2 weeks ago i had cable installed, bought a linksys router
and successfully set up my 2 desktop computers(wired) and a laptop(wireless)
on a network at home. All computers run xp pro.
Now all of a sudden my network has disappeared and its says the neatwork is
not accessable and to contact the network administrator.
I have been tryin for 3 days now to get it back but with no luck.
Router is a Linksys WRT54G.

Thanks for any help received

Tony,

Do all 3 computers show the same error? Can any computers access the internet?

Please provide ipconfig information for each computer, so we can diagnose your
problem.
Start - Run - "cmd" - Type "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window. Open Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!, open
file c:\ipconfig.txt, copy and paste entire contents into your next post.
Identify operating system (by SP level) with each ipconfig listing.

All 3 computers show same error, yet all 3 can access internet without a
problem. All running xp pro sp2.

SNIP 3 IPConfigs showing IPV6

many thanks, hope this helps

Tony,

You're running Teredo Tunneling, aka IPV6. Do you need access to IPV6
addresses?

Please start by un installing IPV6, aka Advanced Networking, from the list of
items under Local Area Connection Properties. You only need the following items
in the list:
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks
QoS Packet Scheduler (optional)
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Then, make sure that NetBIOS Over TCP/IP is enabled on each computer. Local
Area Connection - Properties - TCP/IP - Properties - Advanced - WINS - Enable
NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

If you need IPV6, you can install it later. After you get file sharing working.

Tony,

This sounds like a browser conflict. I"m not talking about Internet Explorer
here. The browser is the program that allows any computer to see any other
computer on the LAN. On a 3 computer LAN, only 2 computers should run the
browser service.

Make sure the browser service is running on the downstairs and upstairs
computers. Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services. Verify that the
Computer Browser, and the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, services both show with Status
= Started. Disable the browser service (just the browser service) on the
wireless laptop.

After checking / disabling / enabling as above, power all computers off to reset
the browser settings on each. After all computers are off, power all back on.

The Microsoft Browstat program will show us what browsers (I'm not talking about
Internet Explorer here) you have in your domain / workgroup, at any time.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188305

You can download Browstat from either:
http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/browstat.zip
http://rescomp.stanford.edu/staff/manual/rcc/tools/browstat.zip

Browstat is very small (40K), and needs no install. Just unzip the downloaded
file, copy browstat.exe to any folder in the Path, and run it from a command
window, by "browstat status". Make sure all computers list the same master
browser.
For more information about the browser subsystem (very intricate), see:

now no computers can find the network again, downloaded the program, ran it
in the command window but did not give me any information, just gave me a
list of commands but not sure how to use them. sorry for being a pain.....
