Unable to connect to the print server through the network using Start-Run- and I type //printsrv

Receiving The network path was not found error from my PC when I try to connect to the print server through the network using Start-Run- and I type //printsrv.

On the Windows 2003 Print Server I can reach the internet, ping other devices on the network, and print to printers.

From my pc which is on the same network I cannot ping the Print Server and I am also getting The network path was not found error when I try to reach the server with the following:

Start-Run and type \\printsrv

Our environment is setup as a workgroup
The workgroup currently has 30 devices
 
Print Server IP Address: 192.168.1.90
My PC 192.168.1.240

when i said "mixed" i meant "Fixed" , lol
those instructions were for XP, this disables IPv6 for Vista

In the Network Connections folder, obtain properties on all of your connections and adapters and clear the check box next to the Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6) component in the list under This connection uses the following items.

This method disables IPv6 on your LAN interfaces and connections, but does not disable IPv6 on tunnel interfaces or the IPv6 loopback interface.
