>>SID has nothing to do with internet access. The name of the compute also nothing to do with internet TCPIP. Both these things relate only to MS networking and Netbios (which may run over TCPIP). Yes. To clarify, SID and the computer name affect security in an MS network. Specifically, a user account Jake on \\Flake (with network user name Flake\Jake) is considered to be a different Flake\Jake if the account exists on an NT with the same name and accounts but different SIDs. Trouble is, try and figure out what went wrong. Absolutely nothing to do with the internet. Guess I didn't make that clear. MS networking only, for network permissions within a workgroup. Domains are actually simpler in this regard, though the problem can still come up if you try to join the domain for the second time with an existing name and different SID.
