In the end both NetBIOS and FQDN are resolved to IPs. Although you can ping the machines does not mean you can access the same machines on other ports. Are you using firewalls in between or do those target systems have firewalls installed, enabled and configured? If yes, check which ports are allowed

There seems to be a strange policy on our Workstation or Global User baseline that is effecting users on client workstations to not be able to: Access UNC paths outside their subnet even though they are able to ping and resolve these names through DNS. Utilise remote connection software to different subnets. I am going through all the settings and comparing RSOP data but as you are all able to appreciate it is a fairly long and arduous process. One thing I am able to rule out is that is not service related. Any help would be be appreciated.
