      In the Log file I see this... is this anything?

      Jun 04, 09:14:32, [4752], [SEVERE],,"Fatal error: WARNING: Network name unexpectedly de-registered.  Make sure SYNCTIME is not running on a combination Master Terminal/BOH Fileserver.  Also verify network cable connection, some network cards require a reboot if physical connection is lost."

        First thought is the Firewall - but you stated that it was set correctly.

        A Switch - unless it is programmed to do so won't affect this.

        is File/print sharing turned on, and permissions granted to the user/computer?

          Yes, That was the first thing I checked

          is File/print sharing turned on, and permissions granted to the user/computer?

          This was the second thing.

            Based on your error Network name unexpectedly de-registered (link) this is all I found to be closely relevant..

              But it then states ...Some network cards may have to be restarted
              I restarted the PC about a dozen times..
              That would have restarted network cards,, right?

                one would expect so - only over way would be to completely powercycle everything.

                one other note - what is your time sync? are they getting a good time?

                  Back office was set to Sync with Internet. None of the terminals are set to do so.. I shut that off,

                    I'm just brainstorming here so take that with a grain of salt lol. You said everything is set to static ip's. could an ip be the issue, as in something having a wrong ip set?

                      quick verification shows that everything is set to the correct (documented) IP address.

                        There can be only one. It sounds like you have two terminals trying to be Master Terminal. Turn off the peasant terminals see if the Master returns.

                            Troubleshooting needs to be done in a logical manner.
                            You want to verify things by testing and excluding things that work.
                            It might take forever to find something if you do it by checking things haphazardly.

                                @wrcombs Yeah this is an ongoing issue and from previous thread it does sound like he has troubleshooted logically in my opinion.

                                        Do you have windows firewall enabled on the machines? In that case disable it.
