Network Drive Sharing Problem
Well, I'm a wee bit stumped at the moment (surprise, surprise). I just got moved out of my cubicle and into my own office (yay), but my old computer stayed at the cubicle, which means I have another one. Interesting thing is, they stuck me on their old server that they don't use for anything anymore. Ok, it's a little overkill for a user computer, but hey, gets the job done. However, it's still technically a DNS server (though we have a new one running) because the boss doesn't want me to "go to the trouble" of demoting it :(.
So that's the background info. This is the same darn machine that I posted about in the Hardware forums earlier this afternoon.
So anyway, I can't access network folders from this one. I tried mapping "My Computer" to them, but it won't identify them. So, I went into Network Places, and they all show up...I can even access the resources of certain other computers on the network, but not the one I need (which is a file sever). So, I have:
1) Pinged the server to see if there was communication. Yep.
2) Checked address leasing in DHCP. All is well.
3) Everything is as it should be in my respective zones. Forward look up zone was missing an IP listing for this machine, but I added it in.
Note again that I can access resources on some machines, and not others. No clue what could cause such a descrepancy.
So, what should I look at next?
