Network cannot see server

TheSlayer3k · 12-20-2006, 02:02 AM

Hello,

I need a little bit of help, I'm doing some work for a company tomorrow and I'm stumped at their problem.
Basically they have about 6 PC's networked into a patch panel, then to a router. These PC's are on Windows XP and are on the same workgroup. They have recently just got a server using Windows Server 2003 and I believe it is plugged straight into the router. My problem is that the Server cannot see any of the other PC's and the PC's cannot see the server, yet they can all access the net (and all workgroup PC's can see each other).
Sorry for lack of detail I've only been able to have a 10 minute look at whats wrong.

Can anyone recommend what to look for first and what the problem might be.

The router is a Cisco one so I won't be able to access an interface and i'm NOT a fan of telnet.

Thanks.

Ben.
