Once you've eliminated the cable you'll want to check the switch settings in your building B. Although they've copied everything, they may have made a mistake in any of the settings (ie. VTP, Span Tree Protocol, etc.) You might also want to post your config on the cisco netpro forum for help. They're pretty good their too:

Nobody in Bldg A on that vlan are having any problems. The users in Bldg B are having problems connecting to the servers which are on a different vlan and we are doing layer 3 switching. I don't know much about this yet as we are new to the vlan thing. It's only been in place for about 8 months or so. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Gonzaga (306) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 2:56 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: VLANs and Cisco Switches I would look to see if you're having problems between users in the same vlan in different buildings or just the other vlans. If the problem is accessing other vlans then it's likely a problem in the router (or the switch if it's doing layer 3 switching). -----Original Message----- From: Elias, Delores [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 11:08 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: VLANs and Cisco Switches No. I forgot to mention the servers. There is a vlan for the switches, one for the servers and four for the users. Unfortunately, the Cisco guy who set this up for us has since left his company and they really don't have anyone to replace him. So, they tried to mimic what he had already set up. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Gonzaga (306) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 12:41 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: VLANs and Cisco Switches Are those servers on the same VLAN as Bldg B? -----Original Message----- From: Shih, Henry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 9:41 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: VLANs and Cisco Switches What is the cable between two buildings? -----Original Message----- From: Elias, Delores [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 9:08 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: VLANs and Cisco Switches Hi All We recently purchased a new building (Bldg B) next door to our existing building (Bldg A). We had the cable run between the two buildings and connected to our core switch (Cisco 4006). We also have 4 vlans for the 12 floors in Bldg A. We initially wanted to create a new vlan for Bldg B, but that didn't work out for some reason. So, we just added them to the existing vlan that services the first 3 floors of Bldg A. However, the users in Bldg B are having network problems that get worse as the day goes on. They cannot always connect to the Exchange server or our main file server (Netware 4.11). The consultants who did all the switch and vlan work cannot seem to figure out what's wrong. They used the same configs that are being used in Bldg A (which work fine) and according to what they tell us, everything's in place and we shouldn't have any problems. We are. At any rate, I was wondering if any of you have done something similar or have had a similar problem and could possibly shed some light on this for us. Hopefully, I have given you the right information. We appreciate any help that is given us.
