Clients were there, are now gone.

Ok, I've been working on my own personal network for 11 years. Count'em. 1996/2007. I've ran into this problem before, but I do not remember for the life of me how to resolve it without restarting all of my computers.

I recently had a stent with Litestep. I hated it and I removed it because it was unstable in ways that Aston has no problem with. The problem is; My network clients (Wonkaworld and Sammejima) are gone. I can ping them, but I can't net use them because they don't have passwords on the machines, and I'm not going to set up passwords for them, either. Kinda stupid when all three are single user PC's, if you get my drift. Well, I noticed this yesterday and chose to ignore it I guess. Wonkaworld and Sammejima are both gone. They can't see my computer, they can't see eachother. I do not want to have to restart all of them, because Sammejima has Tversity on it, and I'm watching Lethal Weapon 2 on my Wii. It's right where Leo's tied up in the House on Stilts. Wonkaworld I cannot physically get to right now, because it's outside, and I can't find my garage key.

Any input would be great.

You have to restart your computers. If they aren't on the network the only way to get them on the network is locally from those computers.

Son of a sailor. I really was hoping there was a magical dos command that would prevent me from interrupting uptime. Granted it only takes me 15-20 seconds to reboot mine, Wonkaworld takes a dog's age to rise. Crappy Sempron on a 754. Sammejima's fine. Aged bit boots fast. AMD 64 3500 939 with a measly 512MB. Thanks fella.
