TCP/IP Problem. Able to send packets, but not receive

[codered10]

Hello all,

I've recently setup an HP Netserver running Windows Server 2003. It has an Intel Pro 10/100 NIC. Initially when I set the box up, I was having problems with not being able to ping or access the box, but I was able to access the internet, etc. from the box. At the time, I tracked it down to the fact that I had remote access/routing installed. I uninstalled Remote Access and everything worked great.

Tonight, I needed to mount the server in a new rack, so I shut it down, made the move, and hooked it back up exactly like it had been before. But, now I am unable to do anything over the network. I am using a static IP, which was not changed from when the system was working.

I've tried repairing the connection. I've disabled and re-enabled the NIC. I've restarted the server several times. Nothing is resolving my issue.

I am unable to ping any other computers from the box, and I cannot ping the box from any other computers. When I open network connections and open the local area connection, it shows that packets are being sent, but the number of packets received is always 0.

Thats about all the details I can think of(though my brain is dead from all the pounding my head against a wall tonight)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Don't know if it's bad but maybe it is set to only allow at 10M? Our Ciscos,I think, are capable of 'throttling' in that fashion--what colour is the LED on the port that you have it plugged into and does it change when you force the 10M-100M change?

Okay,

I missed the earlier post about VLAN's, but we are not using vlans of any sort, so I can quickly rule that out.

Also, we are on unmanaged switches, so it's not an issue of throttling. I have not looked whether the switch is showing a 100M connection when I switch the server to 100M. I will check that out tomorrow.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys.

Thanks a ton,
