The Macintosh lose the abilities connect to the NT server after a few days, nothing have change in the server side but I have to reboot the serve before the Mac could connect agin.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any inputs<br>
<br>
Is the MAC connecting thru TCP/IP to NT?<br>
If so you need to find the IP address of the MAC<br>
<br>
I supect your TCP/IP Lease has expired.<br>
Are you using a DHCP server to allow clients to connect<br>
if so open it.<br>
Click on the "Scope" Menu then click "Properties"<br>
you should see Lease duration. Is it limited to a number of days?<br>
<br>
hope this Helps<br>
<br>
Thanks DougP,<br>
<br>
I think you are correct in this case, I am using DHCP to pass out the IP's.<br>
What is the command on the Mac to renew a lease.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
This can only on your done on your PDC (Primary Domain Controller) She's the heart of your Network "Scotty"<br>
<br>
Can you go in the PDC Server?<br>
do you have Admin priv. If so<br>
<br>
click Start, Programs, Administrative tools, DHCP manager<br>
<br>
As mentioned above once inside "DCHP manager"<br>
Click on the "Scope" Menu then click "Properties"<br>
you should see Lease duration (at the bottom). This is the only way to change it.<br>
Cause otherwise Clients could go change it when time ran out which would not be secure.<br>
<br>
I don't know how to spell "macintosh" let alone where to go in it.
