i have seen this type of thing occur before and just disabling and enabling the NIC will cause everything to be OK again (for network drives, -- for anything using NetBIOS and it usually only occured on 1 specific NIC (a Realtek) which have had no further problems since getting the latest driver update. Note that even if you have automatic updates on and having them installed automatically means that you would have the latest driver since almost all hardware updates (drivers and such) are considered optional and you have to manually download them from the windows update site (or from the manufacturers site if they have not passed through the windows hardware compatibility labs QA process.
You could try just disabling then enabling the network adapter (if you have the necessary priviledges to do so - depends upon how your IT have set things up in the group policy profiles) to see if that recovers things for you (rather than terminating apps) On Jun 18, 9:01 am, infiniteMPG <[email protected]> wrote: > > Can you still access the internet and email but not network drives? > > Yes, but it's all network drives.
