Guest dave64 Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 WE have a SBS 2003 server (server1) which crashed due to a disk controller issue. Once fixed almost everything works fine. A few months ago we added a server 2003 (server2) whch runs an application. The two have worked fine together (until today). After controller problem is fixed, clinets cannot run the app. Message is that the computer cannot be found or no permissions to access it. Indeed if one tries Start -> Run \\192.168.16.3 (that address of server 2) from server 1 one gets the errors messages. However, if you substitute the name (server2) for the address everything works fine. Same story on any client computers as well. I've tried running netdiag on the server2 computer and the output is mostly clean except for it can't find the domain controller. Could something have changed that makes server2 think server1 does not exist ?

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Re: connect by name works, but not by IP Hello dave64, Would be nice if you can stick to this posting "can't find server by address, but can by name" created on 20:26. If you have more problems then only pinging, please describe how you restored the server. Seems that the second server is not recognized anymore correctly in the domain. Also you should post this to a SBS NG: microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ** Please do NOT email, only reply to Newsgroups ** HELP us help YOU!!! http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm > WE have a SBS 2003 server (server1) which crashed due to a disk > controller issue.
