All,
Recently purchased a new 2008 server. I added this new server to our SBS
2003 environment. I was able to JOIN the sbs domain. My problem now is that
I can not ping the sbs box or any other TS server on the network.

I assigned the new server the following IP information:
IP address: 192.168.1.11
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS 192.168.1.2 (this is the SBS box)

Our SBS box is using one NIC card. We have a router that is handling our
firewall.

Thank you,

Thomas

Have you tried disabling all 3 sections of the Windows Firewall on 2008? Try that, and ping again. You can customize the firewall (usually just the "Domain" firewall) to allow ICMP Echo, which is what a simple ping uses.

Can other machines ping the SBS?

Ace,
The other two Terminal Servers can ping the SBS box. They have been in
production for several years. I will try your suggest to disable all the
firewalls and then ping the sbs box. Do I need to reboot the server after
changing the firewall settings?
Disabling the firewall settings on the new 2008 server, won't this open
the box up to trouble?

Thanks,

No reboot required. No, it won't open it to trouble. Let's try it for testing purposes, please, to see if this is the cause. You can always re-enabled it afterwards, but creating rules to all ICMP Echo. But honestly, if it is part of a domain, the domain portion of the firewall should allow ICMP Echo.

Ace,
I'll try changing the Firewall settings this weekend and post the
results back here.
