I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out. In brief, this is what's happening.
Brand Spanking new server 2003 R2 Standard using IP 10.10.10.11
PC cannot communicate with the server if they are both plugged into my new gigabit ethernet switch. As in a matter of fact, any computer or other server connected to the switch cannot ping the new server.
However, if i plug the server into another switch, all other pc's and servers can communicate with the new 2003 server without any problems.
The switch does not have any software or firmware to configure - it's a simple gigabit ethernet switch.
All IP addresses are static.
I've put together a PDF that shows how my switches are connected.
Switch #2 & #3 are both 10/100 switches, but they are connected by another cable. Because of this, switch 2 & 3 act as 1 switch.
To interconnect them, there is an ethernet cable going from 1 to (2&3), and from (2&3) to 4.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why i wouldn't be able to ping that specific server if the computer i'm trying to ping with is on the same switch????
Desperate for help!
