Hello all,

I've got a bizzare problem, perhaps one of you have seen it before. First a discription. A small network with a WIN 2K server, doing nothing but a large drive share. It is set up for IIS web/FTP service which is not in use and is configured as a terminal server. It all has been running fine for about a year. Nothing has changed but this problem has popped up. All my other machines connect fine to the server share. I have one particular computer I use for media (Video Digitizing, MIDI, MOD, etc.) that used the share quite a bit as the drive installed in the server is a large one and as you know, video takes up mega space.

So with the details here is the problem. The media machine cannot connect with the server share. I used "\\server\share\" with success and then it started to not work. Therefore I tried "\\ServerIP(0.0.0.0)\share" and that worked for some time and then started failing. Now I cannot connect at all. All other machines are connecting fine, I can ping the server from the media machine, both IP and URL (\\server\share) from a DOS box but no connection from "My computer","Map drive"

Wow. There you are. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
