Jim,
Thanks for the quick response. Sorry it took me so long to get back, but I
wanted to take care of all the things you mentioned in your message. That
said, here goes:
> ipconfig/all from laptop and server.
When I ran it from the notebook, I got exactly what I should have. The IP
address was my 10.10.10.x network, and the domain, was
hospitality.international.local, also what it should be. On the server side,
the DNS information looks good (hospitality.international.local) as well as
on the internal adapter, the IP is on the correct 10.10.10.x network. This
all seems good to me.
> Antivirus scans clean?
Yes, but just to be sure, I updated the definitions and ran a full system
scan. I use Symantec AntiVirus Corporate for what its worth.
> lspfix?
I looked into this program at this site:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
which I believe is the correct site. When I ran the program, it did not list
anything to remove, but following the directions, I clicked finish anyway
(because it said errors may be from something other than missing modules). I
then restarted, but no luck still. Should I have done something different
here?
> hosts file clean?
The only entry in my hosts file is:
127.0.0.1 localhost
To the best of my knowledge, that's what it should be short of any changes
unless I am missing something.
I guess if necessary, I will reformat the computer, but I was thinking there
may be something I can do short of that. Any other ideas. Again, I
appreciate the response.
