If anyone thinks of any additional ideas, I'd be thrilled to try them in an effort to determine the cause of the problem. For now, we've made the decision to just continue using the new PCI network card which is working fine on all accounts we can determine. Obviously, the integrated...

Some additional info today. I just learned that this machine (used by a manager at the location) previously had a AGP video card installed for the purposes of using dual monitors. The day this problem started the monitors went blank and the user decided the card was bad and pulled it. I was...

SUCCESS (sort of) I have WAN access - but I can't say exactly why :-( On a whim, I installed a PCI network card even though I was pretty much certain the motherboard ethernet adapter had to be fine (after all, I can access the switch, firewall, server, all network shares, all the dang LAN) so...

Yes, reset the winsock stack and tcp/ip without luck. Thanks for the recommendation though - it was a previous life saver. ipconfig /all on the problem machine is identical to data from the other functioning xp pro machines on the DC. Still stumped and getting ready for a clean install of the...

OK, WireShark is installed and capturing - but I'll need to spend some time getting familiar with the program before I can understand what is going on. At the very least, when I filter for TCP there are a LOT of red and black lines showing up and I can already tell that isn't good. I'll get...

Good call on wireshark. I'll look at that shortly. wouldn't the traffic have to be leaving the workstation since I can browse to the other clients on the network and I can browse all of the shared folders on the server (and transfer files to the server)? I'll get wireshark up and running and...

Can't browese, can't ping. If I ping locally, all is fine. If I ping to WAN everything times out without response. If I ping a named address e.g. google.com it will resolve the DNS to 74.125.225.whatever so it seems DNS is working but that could just be the local cached DNS data. DHCP, DNS...

This one has been driving me nuts today. DC is running Server 2003 (though I really don't think this is a server issue b/c no other clients are having a problem). Switch is an omnistack 6148 (but I moved the client to another switch and no change so I'm sure the switch is not the issue)...

Goombawaho: Should I be concerned that the OS was NOT on the failed array, and why? On another note, I had an interesting conversation with one of the owners (the one who pulled the drives) and during the conversation he asked about installing SATA drives in this server as a way to get more...

You guys are great - sorry I disappeared while repairing the system this week. After getting the drives back in place and working, I had a 'creation date mismatch' on the primary database used by the company (the database file in question resided on the rebuild array). Anyway, everything back...

Everything I find is definitely pretty old - but that's because the hardware is old ;-) But I guess if it is still working (prior to this) then no one is too eager to spend money in the current economy. My current question - is there a way I can view the individual drive data for each drive in...

Thanks for the advice Goombawaho - much appreciate! I *thought* the process for updating all firmware was done using the serveraid manager boot CD. How can I determine the firmware version on the drives and determine the device driver version? I'm suspecting my problem is connected with these...
