      You can test the port using telnet or ssh (assuming you have either installed on a client). It will at least tell you if you can reach the port.

      I dont believe i have either installed on the client side

      https://chocolatey.org/packages/openssh

      Better to use a port scanner, for instance nmap for windows. https://nmap.org/download.html

      I would use Nmap on my system, but for troubleshooting a client machine I'd rather use something lighter and faster. YMMV

      Yes, but installing the complete openssh server on windows isn't light weight.
      For telnet and ssh client it's better to just run putty.exe in that case.

      Putty used to have less than helpful error messages. It looks like that has changed since the last time I used it. Either way, I'm done arguing with you.

        If the terminals are Windows XP, then telnet is installed by default. In Windows 7, it can be installed, or you can get Putty Portable or something like that.

            Try telnetting from that terminal...

            Open command prompt and

            telnet 192.168.128.xxx 445

            If it can't connect, it will tell you right away.

              Sorry, didn't mean to start an argument for the sake of arguments. You brought up a good point which is to test with telnet which I appreciate. :thumbs_up:

                That makes sense. It has been a rough week, so sorry if I read too much into your comments.

                  I scanned this thread quickly.
                  Same workgroup?
                  Joined domain?
                  Same activated account in backoffice? Same level of security?
                  Did something switch to the Public Network in Network & Sharing Center?
                  I believe I saw earlier about the firewall needing to be enabled for 445 to work. That's true AFAIR.

                      Site is currently unreachable on my end. Hoping the onsite guy can figure it out enough to get it back on line.. we shall see.. .

                        Maybe that is the issue 😉

                          @wrcombs hopefully someone just being onsite will provide enough clues to see what is happening. sometimes that's just the way it is.

                            Apparently re-imaging the PC fixed the issue...

                                Yeah, He brought it back to the office and we re-imaged it this morning. now we have access to the folder needed for the terminals to update and run appropriately.
                                I thought it was a little redundant but oh well.

                                    Glad you got it, but my money is on a b0rk3d windows update that broke it.

                                        It's Windows XP... those don't get updates anymore.

                                          the back office was Windows 7. . . . Isnt windows 7 still receiving security updates?
