Why have you not answered the questions posed in the original thread you
started instead of replying here?
You wanted attention (after only 5 hours) to a post and now *you* neglect
it?
I've taken the thread to microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web, as I
was chastised to do, but here are the answers to your questions:
What is recorded in the Event Log?
Absolutely nothing of any help. No errors, no nothing.
Do you have Norton Internet Security installed (or any third-party
firewall?)
No
If you ping the "server" by name --> what do you get back?
Path not found.
If you tracert the "server" by name --> what do you get back?
Server cannot be found.
If you ipconfig /all on each of the machines (in an opened command
prompt) --> other than the IP addresses, what is different? All using
the same DNS? All in the same subnet?
Some machines are DHCP, some are static. I have not been to each machine
to do an ipconfig /all. The problem is only happening with one machine.
The only difference is that the one XP machine cannot connect to the
share drives or folders on other machines using UNC. All machines are
using the same DNS, and all machines are in the same subnet.
Verified all the computers are in the same workgroup? (although that
matters very little most of the time - it could make a difference
depending on how you map things...)
Yes, verified twice.
Are all the computers Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP
Professional or what?
Server is XP Pro. Problem machine is XP Pro. Server is accessible from
other XP Pro and Win2K machines with no problem.
What specifically is the one computer that is acting up?
XP Pro. All computers are completely patched, no viruses, no spyware.
Have you opened a command prompt and entered: netsh winsock reset
<Enter> and rebooted to see if that helps (on the troubled machine.)
Yes, multiple times. I have also tried LSPFix.exe. It did not report a
problem with the winsock. I also removed and reinstalled Client for
Microsoft Windows, File and printer sharing, and TCP/IP.
Tried: Start button --> RUN --> netsh diag gui --> OK
and running the tests there?
I tried netsh, netdiag, msinfo32, and several other utilities, but I
cannot see the problem.
Matter of fact - have you been through this article?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314067/
Yes, I went through that article in detail before I made my first post.
Is simple file sharing turned on?
No, it is not.
Thanks
