Not sure what happened, but one day noone on the network could access the share folders from the Win2003 server. Folders appear to be shared with priviliges set as they were before, yet not even the local admin account can connect to it's own shared folders (can access D:\Uploads, but \\pserver\Uploads doesn't work, even though it's the same folder). This is a problem, as no one in the AD can login and use the printer or access their files. The admin account on the server can't even login properly, as it's profile seems to be access through a share folder (redirected_folder) on the same PC (weird...) I'm not very knowledgeable regarding Win2003 servers, and I didn't setup this system (left behind by previous net admin). What could possibly block access to the share folders even from a local account? The server has 2 network cards, one "outside lan" that is setup to host the ftp and website on the internet, and an "inside lan" that is setup to a subnet IP that everyone on the network can see. The FTP server still works, and people can still ping the server from the network, but access is blocked to all the shared folders.
Any help?

Are there any error messages when you try to access the share? Such as Access Denied? Try creating a new share and see if you can access that. If you can, then focus your troubleshooting on the other share. If you can't, something with your OS is wrong.
You may also want to check your Event Viewer for possible details as to what the problem is.
