Re: Help! Can't ping W2000 workstation

Hi

FWIW I would check

workstation and server services running? - not sure if that would cause this
exact issue but check anyways

that the machine is getting correct IP info - ipconfig, is it dhcp and if so
what if you manually assign ip and dns info( must be internal DNS server not
ISP)

was there "ever" a firewall on this machine?

can you connect to the server in anyother way like MMC,Telnet ,direct path to
a share like \\servername\c$ and \\ipofserver\c$

You're right though it does sound like a firewall - what caused the issue or
did it just happen?
