no its turned off. i can ping both ways. and go through with the wmi tool to the client. I have no ideas?

Is this happening on a single client only? Is the WMI service running? Have you reviewed the health of the client system in general: checked event logs, etc. What OS is this client? You can use WMIDiag to help troubleshoot WMI issues: http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/socal/archive/2007/08/22/troubleshooting-wmi-with-wmidiag.aspx.
