Ok, I know this was ill-advised but I turned on &quot;Automatic Updates&quot; yesterday on my main workstation in order to get online for SP2. I don't think SP2 downloaded but several XP service packs did. &nbsp;Now, I can't see my NT4 domain. Here is some info:<br />
<br />
1) I can login to the domain from this workstation. None of my drives mount, and when I try to access the domain via Explorer it hangs. Drive shortcuts return errors.<br />
<br />
2) I have net access and can get to the NT4 server using VNC, I can also ping the server successfully from this workstation.<br />
<br />
3) I can login using my username/password and browse the domain from my secondary WinXP workstation.<br />
<br />
*** Question: How can I troubleshoot this and get back online quickly? I have a serious deadline tomorrow which is why I'm in and working, and have no IT help available. ***<br />
<br />
You don't need to point out that I shouldn't have installed service packs. I did it yesterday after a 14-hour programming stint, and I don't think I was in my right mind. The invitations from Microsoft seemed to make sense at that point...

WinXP won't see domain

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.
