I am working on a network and there are about 8 computers hooked up to a LAN. The client PC’s are all running Windows XP Pro and the Server is 2000 Advanced Server. Now, my buddy asked me to take a look at this network so I didn’t really no what to expect, but when I got to the building I was in complete shock. I mean this company isn’t a small fish however it has gaping wide security holes that even the most basic hacker could get through. However, I have had the strangest problem one of the computers cannot hook up to the server. I mean it is really odd because it ran for a few years then all of a sudden bam it can’t hook up to the network drive. I have checked all the setting and the computer is a replica of all the other ones. Infact, it can see the other computers and access their shared files, but it cannot access the server. I checked all the permissions and they are set correctly but for some reason it cannot see it. I made sure that the XP firewall has been disabled but still nothing. Please provide some assistance.
