I have a network with the following setup:

They have a Windows 2000 computer acting as a server for some softare. This
was recently reset after a lock up or something.

They have an NT4 computer that is the domain controller.

They have an XP Pro computer that is acting as the Internet Connection
Sharing computer.

Users were complaining of slow performance when using apps and files stored
on the Windows 2000 computer. When I Ping the server, I get the wrong IP
address returned!!!!

Any ideas?

thanks
Phil M.
 
How many nics in the NT4-server?
Why are you dividing services on workstations? Why not use the server for
fileserving and acting as internetgateway?
Give us the ipconfig/all from all stations please.

Sounds like a DNS problem. Make sure the windows 2000 computer has the
right settings in the dns on the NT4 server
