Unable to map to networkshare
We have lost the ability to map a share on one of our servers. It's running 03 sp2, the share security is full ctrl to everyone. There is no firewall on this box. The server also doesn't show up when we try to browse for the share. DNS appears to be fine. Ping resolves to the fqdm. I have disconnected and reconnected to the domain. Not sure if it's related but we have lost the ability to run tracert through our network. Let me know what other clues I might provide. Thanks.

Thanks Binarymime, I am not able to map by ip addr, and I ran sfc and received no errors.

I might of mentioned this machine is a VM. I also set up a FTP server on this box and was able to get to that. Thanks.
What arre you using for virtualization software?

We're using VMware Server 1.0.1. The host has 2 vms on it. I'm able to connect to one of the vms' shares, but not the other or the host. FiIe sharing is turned on for all 3. I did notice Vmware Bridge Protocol is turned off on one of the host's VMware Netwk adapters. Not sure I understand this, so I didn't want to turn it on. Thanks for the help.

I turned bridged protocol on and it's still inaccessible. I did notice on some of my other vms that it seems that only one vm shares on a host is accessible. Maybe this is a coincidence, but do you know if multiple vms may be bridged?
