I doubt that IsBrowseMaster has anything to do with it.
I know it sounds strange, but I've seen a very similar issue with a 3Com nic
that was on autodetect. It could grab an IP, but couldn't do anything else
on the network. Might want to try hardcoding it. Since you have already
tried different switches and NICs, may as well be complete and try different
patch cables on both ends to rule out all the physical stuff too. Yes,
sometimes cables can be "partially" bad. I've got very little of the grey
hair left on my head to prove it too <G>

I released the ip then ran ipconfig /all again and all the entries were
zero's or null and broadcast for DHCP. Also I've had it connected to three
different hacks and have used two different NIC's with no success.
I did a release renew and saw the time update in DHCP, so that's working.
There used to be a registry setting in NT IsBrowseMaster. This computer
forced an election earlier and that could be the issue. Anyone know where
the registry setting is? I just searched for browsemaster and didn't find
anything.

Are you sure it's RENEWING it's IP and not just working from an existing
lease? Your below symptoms seem to indicate a physical problem - cable,
switch port, etc. Also try hard coding speed/duples settings rather than
autodetect.
It should always be able to resolve it's own name BTW ...

Loopback - yes
IP address - yes
Router - no
Itself by name - no way to resolve it's own name
DNS by IP and name - no and no
It does get an IP from DHCP and the IP and Mac address are in arp cache.

Can you ping Loopback (127.0.0.1)?
Can it ping itself by number?
Can it ping the router by number?
Can it ping itself by name?
Can it ping your DNS server by number?
Can it ping your DNS server by name?
Somewhere in that string of pings you should be able figure out where the
problem is.

That didn't show any conflicts.

try using NBTSTAT -n (at a dos prompt) to see if there are any conflicts.

Subject: Strange TCP/IP issue
I have a strange TCP/IP issue that came up this morning and is still
unresolved. A use could no longer communicate with any domain resources on
his laptop. The computer got an IP from the DHCP server but that was it. No
mapping drives, no network login, no pinging. It could resolve names from
it's lmhosts file and the IP and MAC address would show up in the arp cache.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the NIC and TCP protocol a couple times and it
couldn't fix the problem.
Anyone have any ideas?
Greg
