broken TCP?IP install - can't change net id in W2K

My WIn 2000 TCP/IP config apears to be broken - when I go to Network & Dial-up Connections, select Advanced, and Network Identification, I can't change either my full computer name or domain. The Note says : The identification of this computer can not be changed because: Networking is not installed or is not properly configured.

I'm running W2K on a latop that I upgraded last year from NT. TCP/IP works, in that I can surf the web. ping other PCs, telnet, ftp.

However, I need to change my domain so I can share files on my home LAN. Suggestion on what I should reload?

thanks!

 

you don't need to change your domain to share files.. just use the IP in the UNC..
start...run..
(example)
\\192.168.1.100\c$

 

close. but not there yet...

hm, good lead, but it did not quite work, I get the message:
An attempt was made, but the network logon service was not started.

I'll go check that out...

 

your net logon service is not started..

 

> your net logon service is not started

ok, but I thought it was a WIN2K Server option, not WIN2k Professional.
Do you think I can start it? (suggestions would be appreciated)

 

in order to connect to a pc that is in a domain, it must be used for pass-through authentication.
You can turn it on in your computer-management or services snap in
