Jon, The infamouse error 53 means "name not found". This could be caused by a physical problem, ie maybe the network cable is unplugged. If not a physical problem, then I know of 4 scenarios: # Corrupted LSP / Winsock. # Firewall problem. # Invalid node type. # Excessive protocols. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/mysterious-error-53-aka-name-not-found.html> Re installing everything is a good solution, except: # Since you don't know what the problem is, how do you know even which computer needs to be re installed? # Since you don't know what the problem is, how do you keep it from happening again? Why not try and diagnose the problem? Start with "ipconfig /all" and "browstat status" from all 3 computers. Define "lost all network connectivity" objectively. Read this article, and either diagnose it yourself, or post the 6 logs here. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp> -- Cheers, Chuck http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem - it's a normal response from experience.
