Searching for network server

**daevyd** · July 19th, 2008

So now when I boot up my desktop gives me a window on top of a beige background that is searching for local server and then fails. It won't let me do anything except search for local server. What's up with that and how do I get past it? I can get into terminal but I don't know enough to clear this hurdle. I'm turning in for the night. Hopefully tomorrow brings new insight.

You might be trying to log in to a remote user. is this a fresh install?

**daevyd** · July 19th, 2008

Yes it's fairly fresh. A couple days ago.

whatd u last do or install before this started happening?

**daevyd** · July 19th, 2008

I can't remember. I think I need to do a reinstall.

well if u can afford it. do any options come up? or does it go straight to that?

**daevyd** · July 19th, 2008

No options come up it just goes straight to that. I went ahead and uninstalled but now I can't get my LiveCD to work so I re-downloaded the ISO but I have no way for Windows to read the ISO anymore (I got rid of the bulky Roxio program I had).
