Has NetBIOS been disabled?
What sort of operating systems does it work or not work on?
Does it work on the static or the DHCP enabled systems or is there a mix?
Can we see an ipconfig /all from:
1. Your DC
2. From a working client
3. From a non-working client
4. From a DHCP enabled client please?
Thank you.
