Background: I "help" a small business with their compuuter needs.
They have a client-server environment with one Win 2003 Server and 5
clients. They are connected through a combined "cable modem/router"
device via Cat5 cables. The routing is done using DHCP with
everything being assigned dynamically. The workgroup is the default
MSHOME. The users are given permissions to access the shared folders.

Problem: All clients and server can access the Internet. All but one
of the clients can access the shared folders on the server. The
client could access the shared folders several days ago but not now.

Troubleshooting: I tried repairing the IP connection thinking there
might be a conflict to no avail.

Request: Can anyone provide some guidance on if they have faced this
same issue and what was the solution? Thank you!

Maybe you should assign a static IP for the server which host shared
folder.

In the little scale network, clients often couldn't resolve the computer
name through broadcast.
