LOCAL LAN not works without making new user

[chow choppe]

Hi everyone

 

 

I am facing a little problem with my networking at office.

I have windows xp 64 bit installed on my PC. i use both local networking and internet on this system(via LAN). i a using TCp/Ip settings and gateway settings to use local lan as well as internet via LAN on mY pC. Everything works just fine.

 

No when i take my PC home and i want use internet on this i have to obviously change the TCP /Ip settings and gateway as the home internet is from a different service provider. Ok it works fine at home and i am able to use the internet. now next day the problem comes. i go to the office and change my LAN settings again to the older ones. Now i am again able to use the internet But My local LAN is not working. its not accessible buit internet is working . Now i tried something. I made a new user as computer administrator and voila the LAN starts working as well as the internet.

 

So i face this problem everytime i change my Ip settimgs . when i come back to office and change the IP settings i have to make a new user as computer administrator to be able to use LOCAL LAN again. Otherwise just the internet works and not the Local LAN.

 

i am anot able to figure out what can be the problem

 

Please help

 

Thanks

Hmmm...

 

I'll assume a Windows 2003 server type environment for the network.

 

If you right-click on the network icon near the clock, then select REPAIR CONNECTION, does that do anything?

 

You're obviously on the network, as you have connectivity to the internet via the proxy server.

 

I'd make a batch file for work - open notepad and put the following info in there and then save it. Then change the .TXT to .BAT

 

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

hostname > c:\info.txt

ipconfig /all >> c:\info.txt

net use >> c:\info.txt

 

 

 

(yes, there is only one right-arrow in the first line)

 

This will make an information text file in the root of your c: drive. Open it and have a look at your settings.

 

I'm hoping the /release and /renew will do it for you

 

Hope this helps and let me know how you get on.

hmmmm not sure. I tried googling your error msg, but it only found this post! (wow - google is scary!)

 

Is that the EXACT error message? Generally Microsoft errors can be found and explained from the internet.

 

Those are pretty basic commands.

 

Can you post the info.txt and we'll see how far it got? (or PM it to me if you want)
