I can ping everything but connect to nothing

by fbrooks . Updated 19 years, 4 months ago

I came into work one day and opened Outlook and it would not connect, so I pinged my Exchange server and recieved a reply, I proceeded to open up Internet Explorer and it would not connect to any website, but yet again I can ping any website. I cannot connect to my shared drives on any of my servers. I can use Yahoo messenger and a game that connects to a server to play and both of these work.

Things I have done:

I uninstalled and reinstalled Symantec Antivirus and pushed out the new updates from the Symantec AV server we have, then I ran a full scan and no virus.

I did a repair on the network connection

I uninstalled the Nic Card and restarted.

Changed the IP from a DHCP to a Static address

I ran 3 or 4 different Spyware tools and antivirus tools

Checked Symantec for new viruses that have come out

Checked the traffic on the Router to see if there was an increase in traffic or alot of traffic coming from any particular computers

that is all I can think of for now but I have been working on this issue for 4-6 hrs and have gone no where. This started out with my desktop and then I found out about a few others on 1/17/07 but now there is 15 out 30 computer in a lab doing it on 1/18/07.

Also there are a couple laptops this is happening too and if they take there laptop home it is not working either same symptoms.

Any one have any suggestions PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Thanks
