Unable to join workgroup
One day after my PC rebooted, I’ve got a BIOS checksum error (Asus P5Q Deluxe) and prompted me that default was loaded. I didn’t care that much and pressed “F1″ to continued.
However, the problem started to occur, I couldn’t get the files out from my home Windows 2003 Server R2!!! I ensured that I typed the correct credential but it kept prompting me for bad user name and password. I pondered. I even created many admin accounts on the server and ensured that I typed the correct credential.
I tried numerous ways to isolate the problem including referencing my wife’s new Dell laptop where another Windows 7 premium is installed. The hackintosh that I was using could even join to the workgroup without a problem. What happened to this custom built power PC?
I have started to search for online help and finally came up with a solution. It’s very simple and I will put it in bold letter.
If you know that your credential is 100% correct and keep getting bad user name and password when joining a workgroup, please make sure you TIME is correct.
That’s all, my time on my PC after the checksum error was restored to 2002….
