Work station can't be pinged, but can ping everything else

[John Citizen]

Hi,
I have an NT4 domain with mostly Windows 200 clients. One of these W2k
machines in particular is giving some strange problems. I cannot ping it,
nor can I cannect to it's shares (eg, \\workstation-name\share-name). I
can't even connect to it from the domain controller, nor can I bring up its
properties when using the server manager for domains.
However, when I am on that computer, I am able to ping anything, connect to
any shares and log into the domain without any problems. Doing a "new view"
command also works fine, and shows all the computers on my domain (including
itself).

Nothing in the error logs that I can see suggests any immediate problem (ie,
no error messages related to network functions can't can already be
explained). The computer is on DHCP, but even setting a manual IP address
doesn't solve this problem. also, it does NOT have any firewall
software/settings active on it, and never has (this was the first thing I
checked).

I have also tried removig/reinstalling TCP/IP, as well as the network cards
themselves, but to no avail. I can ping 127.0.0.1 and its adaptor's IP
address fine as well.

Short of performing a rebuild, has anyone else epxerienced this problem, and
does anyone know a way of fixing it?

Many thanks,

John C.

What protocol you use? The remote resource may be connected by NETBIOS.
If IP is used, you can try to run IP utilities as ipconfig, arp, nbtstat on
this machine before and after connecting to this machine by
\\workstation-name\share-name from the other machine. Also you must run this
utilities on connected to this resource remote machine. See the results.
