I posted this to the ms newsgroups (networking), but no
response, hoping you can help here. I dont know how this
network started doing this funky behavior... I did
install a new nic card, thought it happened then:

I have 3 computers running to a switch, then router and
out to internet. They all see each other on a workgroup
and used to work fine.

I set up the admin accounts on them as follows:
computername0 - administrator
computername1 - administrator
computername2 - administrator

I had to replace the nic card on computername0 - When I
did this, the admin account name changed. I didnt change
it, and dont know how/why.
(I had computername0\administrator as admin account, that
is still showing but now an account called computername0
\computername0 shows up as an administrator username).

My login is the same, I login as 'administrator' on the
welcome screen. However, now instead of my files and
folders beeing located on \documents and
settings\administrator - they are being kept in
\documents and settings\computername0 ??

I can login to folders on computername0 from
computername1 and computername2 :: And can login to
computername1 from computername0 :: All computers can see
the network computers and network places. However When i
try to access the folders on computername2 from
computername0 I get the following error message, and am
denied: "Microsoft windows network : Log on failure: The
user has not been granted the requested log on type at
this computer."

When I am working on computername2 I can see all network
places as I said, but when I try to add the user
computername0\computername0 to the security on
computername2 it tells me that there is no such user...

I do believe that it is this switch in admin names that
is causing this problem.

Please if someone could tell me how to dump this admin
account called computername0 on computername0 - or
atleast how to reinstate the originally setup username of
computername0\administrator to be the default that i
login to at the welcome screen.
That would be GREAT!!

I have also just looked on the computer0 in the local
security settings, and the admin account at the top is
not enabled. It says:
Administrator Accout Status: not applicable...
no option to enable it.

Thanks in advance!
Tammy
