Hi there, i just got a hold to a 80GB snap server and i wanted to set a network with it and 4PCs.

Albiet i'm no expert as far as network goes, i was able to set it all up, making a small workgroup for my 4 computers, setting the server up and everything.

All went well, i was able to access my shared folders through all computers as well as the server, my shared printers and connetions.

As soon as i restarted the server and my computers however, all hell broke loose.

The printer won't print any more. It works fine of the computer it's plugged on, but if i try to print from a different location it will give me a error. I'm not sure if it's the network, seeing as it does send the task, it just won't print.

Upon that, i cannot access 2 of the computers of my network (2 of them run with WinXP pro, one has the home version and one runs with Win2k).

On top of that, the server didn't accept the IP address and i had to reset all the settings and configure it from scratch (it works now).

Just to make things worst, every time i try to access my Win2k computer from the one using WinXP home, it promps me for a username and a password i know nothing of (seeing as i didn't set any). The other computer has no such problem.

I don't understand , i re-did everything i did the first time over and over, and nothing seems to work.

What am i supposed to do ?!?
