RE: Problems connecting to desktops through RWW

Manfred,

I was able to do the clean boot Wednesday night. Please forgive the day
delay in responding. We had some fires to put out. I rebooted cleanly and
first tried to log into the server via rww from the server and experienced
the same error. I experienced the same behavior with both my personal login
and the administrator login. For giggles I also tried from my local
workstation and experience the same behavior.

This is turning out to be a fun one.

| Here are the answers to your questions.
| 1. When I try to connect to client workstations I have the same behavior.
I
| tried to connect to my machine.
| 2. I pinged our server’s name from a command prompt on the server and
the
| ping resolved the correct IPAddress.
|
| 1. Yes, I have tried rerunning CEICW. A few times. lol
| 2. Network topology: We have a cable modem that goes through a Sonicwall
| firewall which then goes into a switch. The server is also plugged into
this
| switch (it has only one NIC). All of the workstations are also plugged
into
| this switch. That’s pretty much it.
| 3. There is no firewall running on the server. We are running Trend Micro
| Client/Server Security Agent as our anti-virus solution.
| 4. I have e-mailed you the port query report.
