Yes, I can run `net view \\problemserver` and see all the right resources.
This works on workstations and on the DC.
What's odd is, I need to access a none shared drive today and tried to use
\\problemserver\e$, was correctly challenged but refused access.
However, \\nn.nn.nn.nn\$e worked.
Everyone here maps drives to this server and everyone can print.
I have entires in wins and dns, though I do have some 8003 events and some
3000 dns events.
Is there anyway to capture the annoucning broadcast when the server boots.
If I use a sniffer, what an I looking for ?
Thanks
