Robert,

Thanks for your reply. I can't ping the client by ip. When I attempt to
ping by machine name, it does resolve the name to the correct ip, but every
ping attempt times out.

I'm not sure what you mean by "make sure not firewall block the sharing."
Can you help me out here?

Since you brought up the firewall, I thought it might be important to note
that I have Norton Client Security installed on all clients (in addition to
the Windows Firewall.) I realize these may be conflicting. So, I have tried
to disable the Windows Firewall on each machine. I do not have the option to
do so and am told that the Firewall on each machine is using the domain
settings (yes, I am logged on as a domain admin.) I'm assuming I must change
this setting from the server, but can't seem to figure out how--no matter how
hard I search.

As you have probably noticed, I am new to the Windows Server environment--I
apologize for my naivete.
