Exactly. While it is possible for the problem to be a server-side config, it is more likely that there is a security setting tied to the switch port, or IP address or some protocol in use by the server. I had a scenario where I built a new server to replace my old monitoring server and put it int

Is the affected server on a managed switch, and do you have access to mirror/span the port to which it's attached? If so, a quick peek with wireshark/tcpdump will tell you if traffic from other machines are actually reaching that machine. Failing that, you could install the Windows netmon tools on

That is exactly where I am, but I cannot find a single factor on R1 or R2 that would account for such a rule. All firewalls are off. I've compared Services on R1 and (working) R3. Especially: what kind of access control *only* affects connections from another subnet? Sincerely Bald by Nightfal

No NMAP is telling you what is wrong. (Filtered either equals, Firewall/Router ACL) Well this means there is an access list ( Filtered) from the B side to the A side. (If the ports was open then it would show open) I would check the Router Configuration on traffic going from B side to A side.

RE: frustrating network issue on two servers

Not knowing your exact network layout it still seems possible. If there there were duplicate ip's for the two R servers and the route B is taking to get to R is seeing the duplicate IP's first then you would have this situation. Things like this aren't suppose to happen via VPN'ed clients, etc.

I don't think so, because we can SQL and browse to R1 & R2 from the R subnet, no problem. The symptom only exists crossing over from the B subnet. And other R servers can be reached from B, no problem. On Mon, Apr 25, 2011 at 7:21 AM, N Parr wrote: > Could it be possible that there are dup
