XP pro clients can't log into SBS domain

Small network w/ 3 XP pro sp2 client PCs and 1 2003 SBS (stnd). Everything has been working fine (1 year) and then this morning none of the client PCs could log in to domain. Clients unable to ping domain server. Clients can access internet. SBS can see and access folders/files the client PCs.

SBS:
1. Has 1 NIC
2. Handling both DHCP and DNS. Checked to make sure DNS was running and it is

Clients:

1. NIC configured for DHCP and DNS points to SBS IP

This sounds like DNS issue but I don't know what. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance for your input.

Sorry...Had to leave network location and now unable to get in remotely (probably related to this issue). I'll get the info early morning and post it for you.

Thanks

No problem...

Just curious, though, were you not able to use EITHER RDP or RWW to get in remotely?

FYI, there's a good how-to for installing and configuring DHCP on SBS here at the bottom of the page: http://sbsurl.com/dhcp

try 2 things
first go to command prompt.
type net stop ipnat
now try to ping server from client.

If that dosent work try running the internet connection wizard again and leave the settings the same.

hope that helps.

I'm sorry for the delay. I had emergency surgery on the 10th and just returned home on Wednesday. I haven't dealt w/ the problem since then and won't until probably this weekend or into next week.

Thanks
