problem mapping network drive

[gorgor]

I never had this problem before. I hosed up my server so I had to reinstall everything from scratch. This time around I'm having a problem mapping a drive.

When I try to connect to my shared drive on one of my network computers (permissions are set for 'Everyone') from 'My Network Places', I get the error "there are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request."

When I try to connect to a shared drive (which is already setup as a network drive) on my server FROM the network computer (permission is setup for 'Everyone'), I get the error "Access is denied." This doesn't make sense because it should allow 'everyone' to connect to the shared drive.

I never had ANY of these problems before. Is there a service that I should have installed? I went through 'add windows components' and couldn't find any service to handle this sort of thing. Any ideas??

it sounds like the "net logon" service is not running on the pc that has the share located on it or your are not communicating with your domain controller. Is your server a domain controller? Are you logged in as a domain account or a local machine account?

Perhaps it's a security ID issue?

I assume the server is also a domain controller. Since you've recreated the server, all security IDs from your old domain are invalid. You will need to re-add each client computer to the domain.

Keep in mind, once you do this, a new user profile will be created on each machine you log in from. Therefore, the subsequent login after you add the computer to the new domain will appear as a new profile.

Thanks for the help guys. for some reason, it started working for absolutely no reason. One minute it was messed up and the next minute it worked fine. Gotta love Windows!
