I can ping SYS 2 from SYS 1
I cannot ping SYS 1 from SYS 2
I can see SYS 2 from SYS 1 and all Shared Files and Drives are
Available
I Can See Local Network Files and Shares for SYS 1 on SYS 1
I Can See BOTH systems on MY NETWORK PLACES
I cannot access SYS 1 from SYS 2

When troubleshooting connections, systems report everything is working
properly

WHAT CAN I LOOK FOR TO TRY AND FIX THIS ISSUE???

Thanks

It most likely is NIS. Try disabling the firewall on sys1 and try
again. If that works, create an exception for the IP range you require
and then re-enable the firewall. I would do that on both.
