Well, I wish I could come up with a helpful response, but about the best I can offer is "wow! That's like, really weird." Seriously though, is this machine a member of the domain? Are there any file shares on this server? If so, can you access them? What about administrative shares? for purposes of testing, have you tried temporarily turning off the firewall on the client?
