Network Connectivity but can not browse network folders
HP DC7800, XP sp3, win2008 r2 servers
Above computer can strangely log onto domain, access internet and PING other computers but browsing to any shared network folder it simply says can not be found after about 10 secs. Have re-imaged (image definitely works on other identical hardware), changed RAM, installed latest drivers and flashed latest BIOS. device manager shows all OK, event viewer show nothing. All other computers on domain are fine and can access shared folders.
My inclination is that it's hardware based, does browsing to network folders use different parts of Motherboard or NIC or something?
HP support are crap.

If this is hardware, I would look for the network cable and patch cords.
Identical doesnt mean anything if something got out of whack..... :-)

- I have removed from domain, removed anti virus, disabled firewall and renamed, still same behaviour. Can not access network shares.
- Shares have no limit on no. of connections.
- Tried a new NIC,
- Binding order shows LAN at top (no wireless anyway).
- I can PING from broken computer to a server but NOT the other way from server.
- DNS on computer is correct, as is NSLOOKUP results.

"Binding order shows LAN at top (no wireless anyway). "
Whats your provider order (second tab from the bindings...)? Or just run the command I gave earlier....
