2003 Server can't see other machines on LAN

I've setup a Windows 2003 server and find I can't see other machines on the
LAN.

I believe I went through the process of applying the Updates while in that
start-up protected mode and opened up the machine correctly. However, all I
can see (and ping) is myself and the router and everything on the internet.
I can't see anything else on the LAN.

The addressing on the NIC card looks normal. I assume I need to re-run the
wizard that takes it out of that start-up protected mode but I can't locate
it.

Are they in the same IP range? Can they ping each other? post the results of the server and client ipconfig /all here may help.

Yes,

I even swapped in another computer with the same static IP addresses because
I simply could not believe what I was seeing.

The server can ping itself and the router and nothing else. Another
workstation can not ping the server but it can ping the router and the other
machines on the LAN.

I am left believing the firewall is still configured in that start-up mode
where you are suppose to apply the outstanding patches before the machine is
ready for standard operation. I went through those steps, as I have on other
machines, and I believe I did it correctly. But it appears it still needs to
have it performed
