w2k3: ping-tcp/ip issues


Porn Loader

Recommended Posts

evening all. im having an issue(again) with my win2k3 server. its only running IIS and argosoft mail server. ICF is off. it was working fine, auto-downloaded some updates, and installed them. now i can no longer ping my server (from a local computer),cant connect using rdc,etc.

therefore my websites and email are down. tried to go into add/remove, but all the quickfixes are dated 4/6/04. the server itself can ping the gateway, get online with no problem, and can ping my desktop.

tried setting up dhcp thru my router, but i still cant ping that assigned ip (but it can ping desktop/get online tho). also tried pulling the nic/re-installing/replacing the nic. no go.

this happened about 6 weeks ago, and i ended up reformating. im hoping to find a solution this time around.

Did any of the updates you downloaded and I assume installed, update your NIC drivers?

Try uninstalling, and deleting the NIC driver files, then install the new drivers from the manufacturer.

they were all critical updates only, no driver updates.

tried 3 different nics, all with the same result. can ping looback/ip/gateway, but nothing gets thru to the box.

tried rebuilding the tcp/ip stack, still had the same issue. so i finally gave up and rebuilt the server.
