one server not accessable over WAN

[Timetable]

Hi,

 

This one puzzles me.....

 

We have a Wireless link to another of our sites and this link has been fine for 2 months but has just started being funny, think it could be related to the power going off and on last night but maybe its not....

 

There are two ruckus units that connect both sites and at present the link is up. We can access the internet over it, i can remote desktop to the servers on either side. I can access shares over it... i can ping over it....... your thinking ....AND...

 

But i cannot access our sims server over it.... I can ping the server, just cant access the sims folder share.

 

I can get full access and have sims working on the site that the sims server is physically at, and no problems whatsoever... just the remote site cant.

 

The remote site cant access the servers shares or anything to do with that server, but fien with all other servers. I have restarted all hardware, but the fact everything works except this server prompts me to thinking i am missing somethign obvious.... any ideas?

What is the default gateway of the SIMS server and the machine/area you are connecting from?

 

Also, are you using WAN as Wireless or, Wide Area Network (as in 2 sites via ADSL etc)[Not trying to be an ass, just wondering... ]

Hi, thanks for the quick response, and it is a wireless link.

 

FIXED

 

well who would have guessed my eyes were the problem... and a faulty switch...

 

The switch had the connection plugged into port 23... and the light was flashing on 21...!!!!!

 

so replaced switch and all is well....
