NEED HELP WITH NETWORK!!

[Brimestone]

I did a major hardware upgrades to the computers at work (4 computers)but only one computer can connect to the server. Every computer is running XPpro SP2 but one is running 2kpro.
SERVER XPPRO Connected
SLAVE1 XPPRO Connected
SLAVE2 XPPRO (can't connect to network)
SLAVE3 Win2000 Pro (can't connect to network)

From the one XP box(salve2) it can't see the network, it does have access to the internet and is working and I can ping the XPserver and the 2kpro box but not the other XP box (slave1)

From the server I can ping all boxs but can only see Slave1 on the network.

From Slave1 I can't ping any box but can only see the server, and is networking fine.

Slave3 I don't care about right now.

I have double checked all the network settings and the workgroup names as well and all look to be ok.

I'm pulling my ears off trying to fix this problem, any ideas would be helpfull.

Thanks

Rob

Have you looked at the Winsock Fix in this FAQ?

Thanks, but Slave2 Computer was a clean install and Slave1 and the Server were a windows repair after the hardware upgrade.

Ok I got all the XP box's talking and working, still can't get the win2k on the network but I'll look at the later.

The fix was installing all the Updates for windows XP.

Thanks for your help
