Networking Issue
-
I'm having some difficulty with setting up a small testing lab network. It was setup and working fine but the server hard drive had to be replaced so I did a fresh install and now... Configuration: Windows 2003 Standard Server(Domain Controller, AD, DHCP, DNS) 5 Windows XP Pro Workstations 1 Linksys Router Symptoms: All workstations can ping the server but not each other Server can't ping any workstation Names are resolved but gets request timeout message when trying to ping Exception: One workstation can be pinged and accessed by all even though it does not have a DNS record. I took all the defaults during setup and nothing has changed on the router or workstations. There has to be something simple I missed but I can't see where the problem is. I've compared the working workstation with the others and can't see any difference. Again, the only thing that changed was putting in a new hard drive and fresh install on the server. Anyone have a suggestion? :confused:

Sounds initially like either a firewall or permissions issue to me. Can you ping the individual workstations from the server? If yes, you need to check the account permissions. Are the workstations logging ON to the domain, or only locally and using the DHCP service from the server?:confused: HunterSvcs - If only it would work the first time :=)

:doh: I forgot to check the firewalls on the clients :doh: That fixed it. Thanks
