And firewall?

 

I've seen them "revert" to setting on occasion... I've always suspected
it to be tied to a hotfix/update install, but it's happen infrequently
enough that I've never delved in to it?

What does the eventlog say?

 

Also, I expect that this is some sort of VMWare host?

The VM is XP Professional, SP3.  It was built by doing a P2V from a new
Dell, and all had been working well until about a month ago.  We had
this same issue then.  I got it working by setting it back a week in
System Restore. 

It's broken again, and a reboot, a file system check, and 3 system
restore attempts cannot get it back up. 

Unfortunately, making a new XP VM is not an option (without finding an
available machine wiping it, and doing another P2V anyway).  I have
simply never gotten any of the tricks you folks suggested way back in
January to get the XP setup to recognize the virtual disk.  (I guess we
could set everything up on Win2003 Server...?) 

Any ideas as to how to fix remote connections on any machine, especially
a VM? 

Thanks...
