Steve, what happens if you plug in the name of the printer in the box, does it take it -- e.g., \\server\printername?
So if this is happening everywhere, the same thing should happen when you go to network neighborhood, you shouldn't be able to browse that either. Is all of this so on the server(s) as well as the workstations? Do you get name resolution on the LAN - IP to NetBIOS name & vice versa? If not, there's something desperately wrong in the basic networking config.

This is happening to ALL machines - not just one. The whole domain cannot add printers through this way in the wizard. WINS, DNS - the whole package is working fine. This is frustating as all you know. themolk. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, 5 June 2003 3:07 PM > To: NT 2000 Discussions > Subject: RE: Add printer wizard "malfunction" > > > Something got tweaked when you joined the domain.
