I have a win 2000 workstation that I can't ping. It can get out to the
interent & see the server & other workstations, but nobody can see it. I've
recreated the network connection, removed & added it to the domain. It's
acting like a firewall is up but there is no firewall.
 
Should'nt need to enable 'File and Print Sharing' for this - ensure the
sharing privilages are correct for this station
 
Hi

FWIW I would check

workstation and server services running? - not sure if that would cause this
exact issue but check anyways

that the machine is getting correct IP info - ipconfig, is it dhcp and if so
what if you manually assign ip and dns info( must be internal DNS server not
ISP)

was there "ever" a firewall on this machine?

can you connect to the server in anyother way like MMC,Telnet ,direct path to
a share like \\servername\c$ and \\ipofserver\c$

You're right though it does sound like a firewall - what caused the issue or
did it just happen?

Make sure that File and Print Sharing is installed and selected.

Hi

I meant workstation in the following sentence not server - apologies for any
confusion!:

"can you connect to the server in anyother way like MMC,Telnet ,direct path
to
a share like \\servername\c$ and \\ipofserver\c$"

Anywhere it say server, read workstation

Ip settings are correct, there is VPN installed on this machine, but not
enabled. I have seen a thread somewhere that some VPN software can have
firewall software active all the time. I will check this out next time I'm
out there (remote site).
