Go systematically:
1. DHCP Server or Static? If DHCP, and the rest of the clients work,
you can assume that the settings on the DHCP server are right.
2. Check IP Address/Subnet mask/Default Gateway.
3. Ping 127.0.0.1 (Checks the Loopback interface)
4. Ping IP Address (Checks TCP/IP stack)
5. Ping Default Gateway (Checks subnetting & Default Gateway)
6. Ping other local computer by IP Address (Checks subnetting)
7. Ping other local computer by name. (Checks WINS if applicable)
8. ping remote computer by IP address. (Checks Routing)
9. Ping remote computer by name. (Checks DNS resolution)

Subject: [windows2000] Strange things are happening here
Hi group,
I'm having a problem on a computer here (the Boss's of course). He's got
an IBM thinkpad running XP Pro. We are a small company, running on a
private LAN (172.16.1.x).
Yesterday, the laptop started having trouble communicating with the rest
of the LAN. Couldn't get email, files, etc. Rebooted, no joy. Checked
his settings, all are normal.
Checked all the cabling as well, its all good. I hooked him up to our
ISP's network connection, and it works fine. The only way I can
currently get him acess to the office network is to have him VPN from
the outside network in. Obviously, less than ideal! ;)
Whats really strange is that when I hook him up to the internal LAN, he
can't even ping anything by IP, it all times out. Doing a route "print
looks" fine. Either I'm missing something completely obvious (possible,
2 year old keeps me awake alot), or something on his laptop is really
fried.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks,
--
