Hi Guys...

i am wondering what in the world could be causing all these craziness..

I have added about 20 workstations in a domain.. all was successful in adding.. all are able to login through the domain...

now here is the crazy thing... some of it i can ping the servers, and the servers can also ping the workstations...

some of those workstations can ping the servers... but the servers cant seem to find these workstations...

what could be wrong in this setup?
 
Are you pinging by ip or hostname?
What is your DNS server? What is your DHCP(if you have one)server?
How have you setup DNS/DHCP on those servers?
Is the windows firewall enabled on the ws? maybe they are dropping ping requests.
 
just to add to elmurado you may want to try nslookup to see if it resolves a hostname
 
sounds like windows firewall...
especially if it is only a few stations having the issue...
