We have a peer-to-peer network of 8 Win2kPro computers with one acting as the
file server. It has been working for at least a year.
Yesterday, I installed a new version of Symantec Norton SystemWorks 2005 on
4 of the computers.
Since then, several of the computers (some that I updated with Norton and
some not) are unable to connect to the file server which was one of those
updated. The systems that can't connect to the server cannot be connected to
by those systems that can connect to the file server.
I click on Windows Explorer in My Network Places
Computers near Me
: I get a list of all 8 computers
: I can click on most of them and see what they are sharing (printers, etc)
: When I click on the HFHH00-SERVER from several of the computers, I get
\\Hfhh00-server is not accessible
The network path was not found.
I have tried:
- using DHCP and hard coding the network info
- selecting "Use NetBIOS setting from DHCP" as well as "Enable NetBIOS over
TCP/IP"
- shutting down all computers, bringing up server first, then others one at
a time
- cycling the power on the router and switch (off for 30 seconds each)
- deleting and re-establishing the share on the file server
- searching the Microsoft site for the symptoms
- ipconfig shows all systems on the same network segment
- renaming the file server, the new name shows up but troubles don't seem to
change
I suspect:
- some setting is different in some of the network configs (can't see it)
- some service is/not running on some systems
Any ideas what could have happened, what I could try, etc.
