Server problems

[Bob Phillips]

Can somebody help me, networks are not my forte?

We have a wireless network setup, a Netgear DSL Router connected to a
file/print server. Up until yesterday, this was all working fine, we could
access the shared server directories from our laptops, we could print to the
printers attached to the server. Not now we can't. The directories throw an
error, and we get an RPC error (?) if we try to use the printers.

Where should I start to find the problem, and hopefully the solution?

TIA

Bob

What's the system error if you use net view \\serveripaddress? If it is system 5, this is permission issue; if it is 53, this is connection issue.
