Windows XP seems to block incoming traffic

[Urvin]

Hi,

I have this workstation (Dell notebook) running Windows XP SP2 in a Windows
2003 Active directory domain.
On this workstation I am experiencing the following weird behavior:

I am able to access all network resources but am not able to access any
resource from this workstation from any other workstation. For example I am
not able to Remote Desktop (Remote desktop is enabled) neither to ping this
machine. It seems that the workstation is blocking all incoming network
traffic. I have double checked and the Windows firewall is turned off (this
is configured\enforced through group Policy) and there is no other firewall
installed on this machine.

Has anyone seen this behavior before, any idea what can be causing this ?

Thanks

You could start by being more specific and detailing exact and specific
messages, return values, screen activity, anything that's relevant, etc.
when you try to do that, and what you've found in Event Viewer, etc.

Seen this problem on workstations that are DHCP enabled, especially my
notebook users who get IP addresses from cisco devices at other
locations outside of my AD domain.
For me to fix this problem in my environment I have to get the client
workstations to do a gpupdate /force from a command prompt
Don't usually need to restart or logoff and then I can start pinging
again
Hope that helps
