if you can ping from the duff 2k machine you know the wiring is ok, and that
packets are getting to another machine and that MAC addressed frames are
making it back to the win2k machine. 

What may be failing is the ARP process, i.e. when pinging the win2k machine
from another machine, the win2k machine is not responding to the ARP process
properly.. do you have teamed NICS on this machine?? 

if in a switched environment, can you ping the win2k machine from one of the
switches??

Subject: [windows2000] Can't view shares on one computer


I have a small network that consists of 5 XP, 2 W2K, 2 9x, and one NT4 
server. This isn't a domain, just a workgroup. One of the 2000 boxes can't 
be accessed, but this computer can access any of the other computers on the 
network. I can't even ping its IP (static), but can ping others from this 
pc. It has file and print sharing installed, all the correct networking 
installed, and all the users and passwords configured. I've switched NICs 
and cabling with no success. What the heck am I missing?
