Hi,
i can not see any reason for it but now no computer can access the server and the server can not acees any of the computers, this includes both domain clients and computers not on the domain. All the computers can acess other pc fine but not the server, and the server (win Server 2003) can not access any pcs. Same problem if i try typing in the server name, it just say it can not be found, check spelling ete. Domain user can not log in.
Any help
Thanks

Open a command prompt on the server and run
netstat -an
Is it getting an IP address? It can't be that 169.254.x.x that MS gives to NICs when something is wrong. It has to be an IP on the same subnet as the rest of the network.

Look in the local address column for an IP address that's on the same subnet as the rest of your network.
Examples:
192.168.x.x
10.x.x.x
172.x.x.x.
If you don't understand the output run:
ipconfig instead.

I ran ipconfig instead
and got

Connection-specific DNS Suffix .
IP Address. 192.168.x.x
Subnet Mask . 255.255.xxx.x
Default Gateway .

That is nothing for DNS suffix and nothing for Defult Gateway.
The Subnet Mask is the same as on the clients.
Any help from this please
Thanks.

First of all, you didn't have to hide the last octets on the IP addresses. They are internal IPs and can't be accessed from the outside.
If the IP is 192.168.0.100 then the default gateway is the IP address of the router which would most likely be 192.168.0.1
If that's the case, then you should be able to ping the from the server. You should also be able to open the web interface of the router in the browser. http://192.168.0.1
Also run netstat -r
and check the output. The default gateway should be listed there. You can also try a static IP address.
