Thanks for the response and I agree that it probably has something to
do with my firewall. The problem is that I cannot access it from work
because I do not have the login and pass to change any settings. The
only thing I didn't understand is why it suddenly decided to stop
allowing any connections, very strange. I will try and figure out what
the hell happened when I get home from work, but I was hoping I could
access some of the files on the machine in the meantime. Oh well, I
guess my boss can wait until Monday. Thanks for all your help.
