Hi,
I am urgently in need of help with windows 2000, so please bear with me. A wireless network has recently been setup in our house so all machines can connect to the internet via an all-in-one modem/router device.
All machines on the network are able to connect to the internet fine, but sharing information between PC's has been difficult. However, I only really need to share information between two machines on the network. These machines are both running windows 2000.
However, one of them is an old machine from my dad's work that still logs onto a domain. The other win 2000 machine is a member of a workgroup. To rectify this, i changed the 'domain' PC to log onto the workgroup instead of the domain. When i restarted the machine i could no longer access the user account that was part of the domain. All e-mail settings, file directories are part of that account. However, the computer wont let me go back to the old domain because of the DNS not being there or something like that.
Is there anyway that i can restore this domain so that the user account and all the settings are restored the way they were before i changed it to log onto a workgroup instead?
I desperately need to get this machine back the way it was, i will reward people who help me as urgent business needs to be conducted on this machine.
Many thanks,
Matt
