Man, I just screwed up big time, (Yeah , we hear that often here <g>) Ok =
here is what I did.

Up till recently, my WWW/DNS/SQL/Mail/Radius/Emerald NT 4.0 server has =
been a Stand alone server in its own domain, recently, We switched it to =
be in the same domain as the rest of the company computers, to do this, =
I changed the domain name to CASCADE from AURORANET and the machine gave =
an error message (Probably because there was a static entry in WINS) and =
told me the computername VADER was in use, so I added a 2 on the end =
thinking to delete the old name. (Dumb,Dumb,Dumb,Dumb,) anyway, so then =
the whole webserver and nt browsers had a fit, I changed the records in =
my DNS tables to match the new name, then the WWW server would not =
recognize old names etc etc etc

to make a long story short, My users no longer can get authenticated. =
radlogin no longer connects emerald and I have no Idea how to get out of =
this mess. Any suggestions, (My ISP is at a total standstill)
