weird problem, using shutdown command and network

[mjz_5]

this doesn't make any sense.. I can ping the machine perfectly, but when i try to shut it down, i get a path not found error.. weird no? firewall is turned off and i have admin rights on all computers

command prompt below
---------------------
C:\>ping asusa7a266

If the "server" service isn't running on the target computer, the RPC interface needed by the shutdown command isn't available. The machine would ping just fine.

If you do a start run, \\192.168.1.100 and get a network path not found with the frewall off on both the source and target computers, that is likely to be your problem.
