Hey guys,

Recently I've had a few people in the office with problems accessing the intranet here. They can get to the internet just fine, but cannot access shared drives or printers. A reboot fixes the issue so it's more of an annoyance than a real problem. I thought it might be conflicting ip addresses or workstation names, but I've checked for them every time the issue has come up and can't find any problems.

Both computers are running windows 7 pro and my predecessor believed that was the problem, but I would like to find out for sure. It's possible that one of the computers was trying to connect via wifi and ethernet at the same time, but it happened again after I disabled automatic wifi connection, unfortunately the employee rebooted before I could check it out that time though.

Any thoughts on things I should look into would be helpful.

Thanks

Looks like a simple conflict to me.
