Well yes, our admin has good deflectors (hello Peter :-)). However, to be honest, I didn't have the heart to command him directly to look on that server on Sunday. So I shoe my inlines and skate downtown to see what's wrong. Heck, interesting ride, truly :-)

After finally arriving at office I couldn't believe, server was up and running, wtf? I checked LAN cable and tried to ping and access other PCs in company, everything worked fine. However, that server didn't accept any incoming connections from other PCs. Wow, never seen this before. Checked fwall, everything ok. Phoned up Peter, but we couldn't find any logical explanation why that server is behaving as it is. Maybe the new Virtual Server 2005 installation messed something? Maybe Microsoft is blocking any incoming connections and we need install new patch [it's W2k3 installed there]. Hmm, strange... I realized that this networking problem is beyond my dev skills, so I'm delegating this to Peter.

I wrote mail to dev colleagues that I was unable to implement redesigned SourceSafe DB + NAnt build system and test them properly because I didn't have network connectivity to server, doh! :-(

Guess, what will I do next weekend…? :-)
