Did you check the arp tables?
Did you check both DNS and WINS (if applicable)?

Subject: [windows2000] Route Tables Not updating


Hi group,

 Have been struggling with this one for awhile....issue was resolved, but I
am still wondering why it occurred and hoping someone may be able to shed
some light on whether or not there is something that I have configured
wrong.

 We recently had one of our many lightning strikes that knocked out a bunch
of equipment( building has a grounding problem since it was built...internal
UPS/surge protectors just don't help...thats another issue) including a NIC
on a machine that has a printer attached to it to share. When I replaced
this card, a couple machines could no longer get to this machine.
 It was unable to ping by name but could by address, it had the wrong ip
address when I attempted this, changing the IP to the old one still gave a
destination host unreachable by name but still allowed ping by address.
Windows just allowed no access ....device unavailable or not found were the
2 errors I was receiving........anyway...... A route -f  @ the command
prompt fixed the 2 machines and they could connect to the machine again.

 Because it was only 2 machines it makes me think it is something I can
change in the 2 machines configuration to allow the routes to be updated
properly, but have not had any luck finding any info on
troubleshooting/resolving such a problem.
 Thanks in advance for any advice!

Chris
