Cannot map network drives after accedental shutdown of a Win2003 server

We can not map any network drives after windows 2003 server accedentely rebooted.  We also cannot print to share printers.  If i go to the server i can map a drive and print.  But i cannot map a drive nor print from the client machines(WIn XP, VISTA and Win 7)

what role is the server? DC or Print Sever, both, File server. I would check firewall and sharing settings. Are you using a domain or enterprise admin to do things, like map the network drives, on the client machine. Do the drives have permission to domain users to connect to.  I would look at those things.

It is DC, File server and Print server and also DNS server.

Even domain admin cannot access network drive.
If you can map them locally but not remotely, check the firewall.

Firewall is off on that server.

The server has network access out after this problem?
If not, may be a problem with ipsec didn't start because of a port conflict.
