I have a windows2003 SP2 server here that has a statically set IP. It was working fine until today. For some reason nothing on the network can see or ping the machine, but the machine can ping and see everything else on the network. The machine can even ping the internet. So it looks like the connection some how became one way. However, when I switch to DHCP, it picks up the same ip address as when it was static, but now everything works fine. If I switch back to static, it becomes one way again. Please Help!!

When I ping, I ping by IP address, not Netbios name.

I am going to make some assumptions here and help the best I can.
When you PING do you PING by IP or HOST name? If its HOST name then you probably need to check what DNS server you’re pointing to when you use DHCP. You may want to do a ipconfig\flushdns from the command line just to rule out a poisoned cache.

make sure the server is connected to a swich and the swich is connected to the internet through your provider. then connect any system u want to communicate to the server connect them to the swich
