When I run ipconfig all looks well. The proper ip number and mask and gateway. I keep thinking it may be our firewall but it isn't logging anything when I try to ping the raq, and it is showing lots of pings from outside, I guess from the recent viruses.I just tried it with DHCP enabled and it got an address/mask in the proper pool as the other computers in the network, but even with that, it is still blocked from our webpage and my email on that raq. Seems something must be blocking the mac address or machine name or something.
Ok, I noticed if I went into network neighbor/entire network/ etc.. I wasn't seeing any of the nodes. So I changed my machine name and now I can see the nodes/Samba shares but still can't ping the raq or get to the webpage/mail. So maybe next I should try changing out my nic?
cheers, Jim
