I certainly would appreciate some help. I've exhausted my resources from here. (I underlined the current situation/problem below if you'd like to skip the history.)
A brief history:
I have an NT domain called UFP
I had McAfee on my laptop (XP Pro SP2) for a year now. No problems. Being XP Pro, it was a member of my domain.
I had just recently installed McAfee on one of my workstations (XP Pro Sp2), also a member of my domain. This computer also hosted a web site and my ftp server, through the Virtual Server section of my router.
Both of those computers connect to the router wirelessly.
Soon after installing McAfee on Starbase, the workstation, my website stopped showing up. My ftp server did not. Eventually, I noticed that share permissions had disappeared. (I always give full access to all shares to Domain Admins). All my domain shares were gone. I eventually found the problem: the trust relationship between my domain and the workstation had failed.
I checked my laptop, which had McAfee, so I wanted to compare the settings. After all, it worked fine, right? I noticed it had lost it's domain permissions on shares as well. I logged off and went to log back on only to be told I couldn't. I checked the server and the laptop had lost the trust relationship, too.
After several tries, removing and re-adding Starbase to the domain, I got it on. I since moved my web site to a hosting service. My ftp server is still running, and it works. I've connected this morning from my office.
Many tries with the laptop has still produced a broken trust.
Now, in the web-site is down debacle, I checked settings on my server. I checked the logs and noted what looked like a lot of hits UDP blocks. (I can't see the messages right now and can't remember what it said exactly.) I set the router to ignore pings from outside. I've since disabled the ignore, so I should be able to ping.
But I can't. And that's why I'm here today. I checked Starbase this morning for it's MYIVO (a remote control program, not the greatest but hey, it works) settings. It didn't show up yesterday for some reason. It's showing that it's running today. I checked it with the laptop. I logged into myivo.com and saw which of my computers were available. The laptop wasn't :upset: but Starbase was.
I switched the Virtual Server's VNC rerouting to go to the laptop instead of Starbase, figuring I could VNC to it, or MyIvo into Starbase and continue working on my networking/pinging problems.
VNC didn't work, probably because I can't ping. And MyIvo produced no computers logged in. Where's Starbase? Dang. I don't care about MyIvo. I do care about remotely controlling somehow!
This is the situation now:
I can't ping 24.145.165.170 (my public IP). I can't VNC to it. I can't remote control into it with anything. But I can FTP to it! So it's there! The internet works at home. I'm on the net there but can't reach it from here (at work).
Any help? Is there any way I can contact my router's configuration pages from here? It's on ...0.1 and I get there at home through IE. Is there any way I can reenable the pinging? It's on ftp. The IP is right. I double-checked the "ignore ping" setting was disabled today. Is there anyway I can exploit the FTP to get the ping to work?
It drives me nuts that I can't do anything about any of this until I get home this evening if I can't remotely control anything on my network.
