I tried pinging my server from one of the workstation but it returns "requests time out" but when i tried pinging that workstation from other workstations the ping return is positive, i checked the cable with a cable tester and the cable is good too, we have a program running from that workstation which needs to be connected to the server but inasmuch the connection fails, we cant run the program (oracle based system). Your immediate reply on this regard will be highly appreciated. thanks

Can you ping the server from other workstations?, does an ipconfig command show the correct network parmeters?

From that workstation, can you ping other servers that are on the same segment as this server?

From another workstation, can you ping this server?

If you can't, I'd look at the possibility that the servers do not respond to ping requests or a router/firewall may be blocking ICMP.

Good Luck,
Sean

The server & workstation - if are having same subnet lan segment IP Address, the problem could be -
1. Physical connectivity - are they on the same Lan Switch ??
2. Firewall or Blackice running on Server - it will not reply back to ping requests & block most ports.
3. Check in Server's Network Neighbourhood - TCP/IP properties - any IP Secutity or TCP Filtering set up ?

Delete and remove the workstion from the domain, Uninstall and reinstall the workstation, be sure to completely shutdown the workststion using the power switch or sometimes the new configuration will not work.
