problem: win2k (re)joining domain

[Arnold Andrews X-324-4292]

Hello again,

I was able to rejoin the domain, after creating a new domain on a different 
samba server and joining that.  I also had to delete all the user profiles which 
were tied to the original domain.  Once I had cleaned all my "ties" to the 
original domain, I was successful at rejoining the domain.

It's strange though, because now it is back to my original problem which started 
me on all this in the first place, and that is that I am not able to browse any 
computers in the "Microsoft Windows Network".  Just for the record, I am using 
Wins, and I only noticed this problem recently.  It was working perfectly 
before.  I can still ping any hostname by name, I just can't see them in the "My 
Network Places".

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Arnold Andrews
