Strange thing with networking

[SimRandy]

Hi,

I just put in a new MB into the main FS server PC. My client PFD pc talks to the server fine, but the client MCP does not. However, the PFD and MCP clients can talk to each other.

Can a new MB cause network problems? Do I have to redo the whole networking setup again?

THanks

Randy

Sorry for the delay in replying -- as mentioned in the Announcements above, my wife and I were off touring Argentina & Chile (by steam trains where possible) immediately after I returned to the UK from the AVSIM FanCon in Seattle.

Surely a new MB, unless it is identical to the previous one, means everything needs re-doing. All Windows drivers and so on have to be re-installed. You aren't trying to foll Windows into thinking nothing has changed, surely?
