unable to browse network

HI There,

I am trying to connect to my windows network without any luck, I have
installed a new network card which I have tested sucessfully on other
servers on our network and the card worked fine. I have much the same
configuration as some of the other machines such as service packs etc. I am
able to ping other machines on the network successfully, but when I try to
access through network neighbourhood or by searching for a computer by
hostname no other machines can be found.

I have also tried downloading the driver from the manufacturer as well as
trying a different brand of card, but with the same errors. My machine
configuration is as follows:

OS: WIN2K advance server
Service pack: 4.0
card type: 10/100
Manfacturer: Netway


Could someone tell me if there is any other checks I can make on the server,
I have checked just about everything I can think of.

Thanks in advance for your answer

Sean

If you are having dynamic ip config, then release and renew the card. if
it comes up with an ip of 169. 154. x.x, then you must assigna an ip
address to it. like 192.168.1.1

Hi Henry,

I have tried having a static and dynamic ip. I have tried to release / renew
the configuation, but this does not seem to help. I can ping most of the
computers on my network wihtout any trouble. What else do I need to check?
