I have several Vista and XP systems on a Server 2008 domain. I can ping any of the XP systems from any of the other systems. I can ping the DC from any of the other systems. I cannot ping a Vista system from any other system (except itself). Static IPs are in place.
My switches don't do IPv6, so I disabled it via GPO. Seemed to be effective as ipconfig on the workstations comes up without the IPv6 info (which was there before).
When I go to the Network shortcut, all of the systems on the network show up. I have no problem accessing shares on the DC.
When I try to turn on Windows Locator (Client for Microsoft Networks) for the interface of a workstation, it will not stay on and reverts back to blank.
Should I disable Link Layer Name Resolution? Any other ideas?
