Forgot to mention I already made sure it was disabled and it has been... I was told that the gateway IP on Server-5 was changed about 2 weeks ago and the server had not been rebooted since. Wondering if a reboot might help then. I'll be able to take it offline in about 90 minutes and check.

We have 2 sites/locations connected a site-to-site VPN... At site A, we have a number of servers, one of which is a Win2003R2 server called (for example) Server-5. From site A, all the other servers and clients can access Server-5 properly. They can ping it by IP and ping by server name. They can access shares via \\Server-5 and by \\IP-Address-for-Server-5. At site B, we have a two servers. Both servers can ping Server-5 in Site-A by BOTH the ip address (although it automatically resolves to the fqdn name) and computername. However, accessing the server via \\Server-5 or \\IP-Address-for-Server-5 does not work. It did notice that immediately after trying to access \\server-5 from both of these server, if I do a nbtstat -c, the Server-5 DOES show up in the list. How strange. It seems like network connectivity isn't a problem, since I can ping properly. Any idea what might be going on here? -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com - Enhanced email for the mobile individual based on MicrosoftR Exchange - http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com – Enhanced email for the mobile individual based on Microsoft® Exchange - http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
