A few months ago we were having problems with our server and I had to  
temporarily reconfigure one of our client stations to be a stand alone  
one.  I used SimpleNetworkStarter (SNS) to first reconfigure the machine  
to stand alone.  Once the server was working, I again used SNS to  
reconfigure the station to be a client.

SNS worked fine both times, but now when I try to use the NextAdmin  
utilities like UserManager, NFSManager, or NetInfoManager from the server  
to look this particular client's stuff, I get an alert or error message:   
"Domain browsed did not respond, please try again later" or "Domain  
selected failed to open."  The client has access to everything the server  
is exporting, but for some reason the client won't let me look around at  
its NetInfo database stuff.

I already tried to go back to the default NetInfo set-up on the client,  
but the problem persists.  Does anyone have some ideas about what I need  
to do to fix this problem?
