Sounds initially like either a firewall or permissions issue to me. Can you ping the individual workstations from the server? If yes, you need to check the account permissions. Are the workstations logging ON to the domain, or only locally and using the DHCP service from the server?:confused: HunterSvcs - If only it would work the first time :=)

Hi, I've also seen this happen many times with a notebook having both touchpad and USB Mouse. Usually, the trick is to deactivate the onboard touchpad. The PC gets confused with the X/Y coordinates information coming from two active pointing devices at the same time. I have seen the cursor begin to wander on its own without touching anything! Deactivating the touchpad solved my problem immediately.:-D HunterSvcs - If only it would work the first time :=)

I take it you have already done this, but I'll mention it anyway: First, turn off PC2, PC1, and Router. When I say turn off, I really mean disconnect the power cord! Next, starting with the router, reapply power, restart, wait for the diagnostics to complete, and only then start PC1. Check to insure that PC1 has internet access. If it does, open a DOS window and type in "ipconfig" (without the quotes). It should give you: IP address assigned Subnet mask Standard Gateway Write this information down. Now start PC2 and repeat the ipconfig command in a DOS window. Compare the settings and post the results from both machines here. HunterSvcs - If only it would work the first time :=)
