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.

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. -

It might take forever to find something if you do it by checking things haphazardly.Since apparently (cause youre here right?) I didnt Troubleshoot correctly . What should I try?
-
@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.

on all machines
It is disabled (thats what i meant by Firewalls are set correctly) -
@wrcombs
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? -

@wrcombs

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. -

@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.
