what you've tried.
Mainly I have spent time verifying that the windows network settings seem correct. I have made sure that everyone is in the same work group, etc... I haven't spent a lot of time debugging this issue since I'm not sure what would be the most effective way to address it.
your version of Samba.
Version 2.2.7a
your network topology / network hardware.
It's a pretty small network. Our DSL feeds into a router, the router handles DHCP for our network devices. We have two central switches, the first handles all our workstations, the second switch is behind the first switch and handles all our servers. Our servers have static IPs while our workstations get them from the DHCP server.
It *sounds* like a switch died. Or the new XP box grabbed an IP that belongs to the Samba server.
Most of our workstations, 70% or so, are working fine with our servers. We have at least 5 XP systems that have no problems seeing our samba shares and the rest of our network. None of the Linux machines are having any networking issues. Also, the machines that DO NOT see the samba shares or the other networked machines DO see the Internet and can browse to our local Intranet-website.
The newer XP machine seemed to be given an acceptable IP that would not conflict with our other devices.
Thanks!
