Cannot UNC using IP or Servername, can connect using Term Services

Hello.
I have a server running Windows Server 2000 SP 4.
While on the same subnet or any other I "cannot" UNC to it i.e.
\\Servername\ using IP address or Server Name but I "can" connect using
Terminal Services with IP or servername.
When I try to connect to the server via UNC it takes about 5 minutes to get
a kickback error on any Windows 2000/XP workstation.
The error is "The network path was not found" with a Red X and \\servername\
above the error.
From this server I "can" connect to other servers and workstations.

Could you please help?

Thanks.

do you have any firewall or NAT running on the server? What do you receive if using net view \\serverip?

I have no firewall or NAT running on the server. When I run net view
\\IPaddress it takes about 5 minutes and comes back with
"System Error 64 has occured"
"The specified network name is no longer available".
But I can still ping the server and terminal service into it...

Thanks.

did you replace the ipaddress with the real IP? If yes, you may have a connection issue.

Thanks for the good info. I am going to check settings on both the switch and
NIC.
