Inbound connections fail, outbound connections are fine - firewall shut off, very strange

 

This is a strange one. I have a XP Pro machine in a domain. It's

working fine up to a point. It can access file shares on a server, it

can access a mailbox on the Exchange Server via Outlook. The internet

works fine, it can access other computers in the domain...everything

looks fine.

 

The trouble comes when I try to connect to it from the server or

another computer in the domain. I get the "network path not found"

error message. I can't even ping the computer. It shows up in the

domain list but can't be connect to. The Windows firewall is turned

off and no other firewall is installed...

 

This is really strange, any thoughts or ideas? I thought maybe the

cause was an upgrade from XP home I did but I did a complete

reinstall..but that didn't help.

 

Thanks!
