Symptomatic of that kind of problem, worth a shot.

I have turned off the group policy that enables the firewall and then
turned
it off at the clients. I have also enabled remote access and added the
domain
admin to the users allowed to connect. This has been double checked and
check
again lol

Thanks

If XP SP2, have you checked the firewall settings?

And you are certain that Remote Access is turned on for the username
you
are trying to access from (not an issue for Domain Admins I think as
long
as remote access is turned on at the target client)?

My current valid email address is:

1bupdvc02@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is valid as is. It is not munged, or altered at all.

It will be valid for AT LEAST one month from the date of this post.

If you are trying to contact me after that time,
it MAY still be valid, but may also have been
deactivated due to spam. If so, and you want
to contact me by email, try searching for a
more recent post by me to find my current
email address.

The following is a (probably!) totally unique

Thanks once again for the reply.

Yes both the IP address resolved by DNS and the IP address from the
clients
when ipconfig is run match.

I'm at a loss as to why it won't work.

Thanks

Hi Alan, thanks for the info. I have tried all that you suggested
and I can
browse to the computers and access resources off them such as
shares
and
printers. When I ping them it resolves the IP correctly but ping
fails to
reach them.

I have released/renewed the IP's several times and rebooted the
clients and
server several times.


Just to clarify, are you saying that the IP address resloved on your
workstation for BobsPC is the same as the IP that BobsPC reports
itself?

If not, another possibility is that you may have to flush the DNS
cache on your machine:

IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS

Then reboot (I think) and try again.

Please can yo upost back to confirm that both your workstation via,
say, PING BOBSPC) and BobsPC (via IPCONFIG) both report the same IP
address.

Thanks,

Alan.
