Probably not setup on the correct domain.
Right click on "my computer" > "properties" > "Computer Name" tab > "Change" button
Then set the correct domain name like your original one or ask the guy next to you to see what his is or something

I did that, and then went back in to view network and I still cant see anybody. We just have lots of different databases in different peoples computers .

you will have to have administrator privileges to join the domain you wish to, especially if you are working with AD, Serv2003

Yeh still no joy. I thought as I have the network cable in and is connected to the hub. The thing is i can still print to other printers which are only connected by network not to my compter.
