Win2k Lost network connection

[Guest]

I installed Win2k pro with service pack 2.I set up my network connection with
a static IP address and subnet and no domain name. I set the workgroup name
rebooted and all worked fine.

I then installed service pack 4 and Windows update internet pack, for the
IE 6 service pack 1, and I lost my connection. All my origional settings
remained the same. Even though the nic was working I uninstalled and re
installed it.
I can ping the machine's name and IP but I cannot ping any other machine .

Are there any issues with Service pack 4 or the Win Update internet pack
service pack 1 that would cause this. Where can I look to resolve this.

There are no networking issues with Win2000 or SP4. You need to look
at your own setup to resolve this problem. A good starting point would be
to do this:
1. Start a Command Prompt on PC1.
2. Type this command: ipconfig /all > c:\ip.txt
3. Post the contents of c:\ip.txt in your reply
4. Do the same for the other machines

You should also turn off your PC-based firewalls while testing,
especially ZoneAlarm and those that are bundled with your
virus scanner.

Here are the Ipconfig files from the three machines I have connected.

Host name PS1 is the machine I am having trouble with. It has the SP4 & IE 6
updates. The Second Win2000 machine hasn't had any updates applied to it. The
last machine is a Win98SE that connects to the internet. It is the only
machine that has a firewall installed, but It is configured to accept an IP
range that includes all the addresses I use. The second win2k and the win98
machines have no connection problems.

Here are the essential details:

PS1: 192.168.0.5
Win2000: 192.168.0.43
ServerJ: 192.168.0.2

The IP addresses are fine. You now need to do this:
- Turn off any firewall installed on PS1 and Win2000. I am thinking
particularly of ZoneAlarm and firewalls bundled with your virus scanner.
- On your Win2000 PCs, enable displaying the network adapter status in the
System Tray.
- Open up the network adapter status box for each Win2000 PC for the
following tests.
- Start a Command Prompt on PS1 and ping 192.168.0.43.
- Start a Command Prompt on Win2000 and ping 192.168.0.5.
- Report the results in your reply.
- Report what the counters in the network adapter status box do while you're
testing.

Pegasus, Thanks so much for your help!

On 192.168.0.43 the status box read sent 60, recieved 108 when first
opened. After pinging 192.168.0.5 the numbers climbed to sent 356, revieved
484. The ping was successfull, 4 sent 4 recieved 0 lost.

On 192.168.0.5 the status box read 3 sent. 0 recieved when first opened.
after pinging 192.168.0.43 the number jumped to sent 356, recieved 312. 4
packets sent 4 recieved 0 lost.

In both cases the numbers climbed as each packet was sent.

In my first post I stated that I could not ping to or from 192.168.0.5 , but
now I can. In my network connections I still cannot see .0.5 from the other
machines, nor can I see the other machines from .0.5. Also I cannot ping by
machine name from or to .0.5.

It seems that the machine with the address 192.168.0.5 has an
intermittent problem. It could be caused by any of these things:
- Network adapter
- Patch lead
- Wall socket
- Network cabling
- Hub/Switch port
