Are you using AD?

Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from your server & from this
workstation.

Check all bindings using logs from "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net
config server", and "net config workstation", from each computer. The "ipconfig
/all" log is a start, and verifies IP setup. The other 3 logs are needed too.
Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely
(download browstat!):

And check the owners manual for CA Antivirus. I'd bet that you have an
anti-worm component in there. Something is blocking SMBs both ways.

What's with the funny characters in there, and why do you have an IP address
in your DNS suffix search list?

Disable this NIC if you aren't using it (and I can see that you aren't using
it)

Again, why is there an IP address in here?

Do not use DHCP on a server. Servers need static addresses. Use one that's
not in your DHCP scope....usually lower down in the range, like .20 or
something.
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.105
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

If this is your router, note that you ought to be running DHCP on your
server - esp if you're using AD.
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 127.0.0.1
Click to expand...

Presuming you're actually running DNS on this server (which you should be if
you're using AD & this is your domain controller) change this to the actual
IP address of the server...currently 192.168.1.105
192.168.0.1
Click to expand...

What IP is that? Remove it.
Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.106
Click to expand...

Is this a legit WINS server IP? Are you even running WINS?

That's awfully long for a NetBIOS name! But that isn't your problem (you're
limited to 15 characters) - you have all sorts of other problems, as I hope
I've shown you above.
