Tried many different static IP's as well as DCHP... no joy.

Possibly a duplicate IP? Assign a static one on the internal LAN and test
again

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,

--
