1 computer on whole network looses internet and sharing
I'm encountering a frustrating problem on my network with one of our
computers. The one computer loses the ability to surf the web or use any other applications that connect to the internet. Additionally I am unable to access file shares and printers from other windows computers. About my network configuration: PfSense Firewall Cisco SwitchNetgear Wwitchthetroubledcomputer I can: ping domains from command prompt ping other computers or printers on the network from command prompt ping our firewall 1ms from command prompt I can access mapped network drives on our file server (linux - static ip, network drives are mapped to IP not host name) access shared files/foders on "thetroubledcomputer" from other computers on the network I can NOT load a web browser and access the web interface for our firewall load a web browser and access any other website go to network places and view workgroups and computers I sometimes can NOT access any file/folder/printer shares on our other windows computers print to a network printer where the driver is installed on thetroubledcomputer (not a shared printer) use the run box and type \\hostname or \\ipaddress, this just doesn't work When I say sometimes, I mean most of the time. Sometimes it works but half ass but typically I can't do these tasks. I have TRIED releasing/renewing ip many times, repairing connection choosing different ports on the Netgear Switch different ports on the Cisco switch running a brand new Cat5e cable (cut and crimped myself) to connect my computer directly to the cisco switch (and bypassing the netgear switch) rebooting ERRORS: when trying to access network groups/computers Workgroup is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request. It seems like rebooting sometimes helps. After doing so I was able to browse the web and load live mail so I could access this newsgroup and type this message. However, rebooting has not always helped. By the time I finished typing this message I had lost my ability to browse the web Please advise :'( |
