I went away for the weekend and shut everything down and suddenly I am getting login failures from my Vista client laptop to my ancient NT 4.0 domain server. This system has been working correctly for years, and it hasn't been disturbed in any respect that would cause this for months.

Both hosts can ping each other, so it isn't the network either.

So, for example,

  • I can't use shared drives,
  • I can't browse the network in the direction of client->server (other way works),
  • Visual Source Safe Client can no longer startup and access VSS respositories on the server,
  • ...

Both are in the same domain. Another oddity, Entire Network/Network Neighborhood or whatever is is called this week, and the domain itself, seem to have disappeared from Explorer windows.

Any clues where I should start looking?

To get intelligent answers here, you should detail your network architecture as regarding :
Computers / operating systems and SP level / remote desktop versions / posts of ipconfig of server & client, and anything else that might help understand the problem.

Also, have you done any Windows updates on Vista just before this happened?
Have you tried to restore Vista to the time before the problem ?
