      combination Master Terminal/BOH

      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.

      Make sure SYNCTIME is not running on a combination Master Terminal/BOH Fileserver.

        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.

                        It is disabled (thats what i meant by Firewalls are set correctly)

                          Exactly which devices can't communicate with each other?
                          The error you mentioned above from some log, what log is that and on which machine?

                            The Back office can connect and talk to the POS Terminals. The Terminals Cant Connect and Talk to the Back Office.
                            The log file is from the Back office.
                            And the PoS terminals can talk with each other but neither can talk to the back office.

                              That's a confusing way to state that, lol.

                                @wrcombs - Sorry if I missed this detail but do all the systems have passwords set on them? Does the back office system have a password?

                                  "Can't talk to" isn't a useful term. that they can ping means that they are currently talking to each other.

                                  You need to use a different description here, something meaningful that would involve a specific protocol.

                                    Yes, Everything has passwords, Passwords are all set correctly as that was another thing that was checked.

                                      @wrcombs - How is DNS setup on this network and on the machines? Are you trying to connect by IP or by NetBios name?

                                            So the POS terminals access the Back Office server by windows file sharing?
                                            Have you tried to connect a laptop and open a network share to the back office server (by using the right IP, username and password)?
