unable to ping or access a pcConfiguration:
I am unable to ping a laptop (Windows 2000 Pro) on network (by name or by IP) or map drives to it. I am able to map drives and ping other PC's and Servers from that laptop.
The laptop appears in Network Neighbourhood. Has "File & Printer Sharing" enabled. Has Workstation and Server Service running. Has a folder shared with Everyone, Full Control. There is a Admin share on C and D drive.
No Firewall on laptop running. If you Ping by name, IP resolved but No Reply
Any thoughts or Idea's I can try to get this going?
Here is what I have already tried:
Has TCP/IP from DHCP. Matched DNS and WINS settings with other PC's. Netbios over TCP/IP enabled. Tried it with/without NetBuei.
Added entries in HOST and LMHOST (it doesn't have resolution issues anyways).
Ran Spybot/Adaware, checked for Firewall, removed everything extra loading at Startup.
Changed Computer name, added it back to the Domain.
Tried it from a different location to use a different port.
Lit a Candle in front of the laptop and prayed.
From that laptop everything works fine, you can ping anything. You just can't access it or ping it from any other PC. I need to get this working as without it Netback Pro will not work.
Operating System : Windows 2000
CPU/Processor : 256
RAM : 256

If you have SR2 on the windows xp PC then you need to tick MS file & Print in the exception on the Firewall.

Nowhere in this post does it mention using Win XP, so the firewall solution is not it. I'm in an all Win2k environment and finding an increading number of laptops that I cannot access remotely through the admin share as well.

I ran into the exact same issue as described below the only difference is this laptop is running XP sp2, I started to experience this issue 11/23/04.

Any suggestions, please advise.
