10.6.3 -> 10.6.4 update / LAN Access broken, Internet and VNC works

I tried to update to 10.6.4 from 10.6.3 on my DELL Vostro 3700 (i5) today ( downloaded combo update ).

update & restart works well but I lost network connection partially: I still can access the internet but I can´t access my local network / LAN , p.e. my desktop mac on 192.168.0.20 .

 

Message:

 

-------

Connection Failed / There was an error connecting to the server "192.168.0.20". Check the server name or IP address, and then try again

-------

 

I still get vnc connection (screen sharing) to and from my desktop machine and I still can LAN access the laptop from my desktop machine. The VNC back-channel / response (vostro -> desktop machine) is very slow.

Its also possible to access an apache running on my 192.168.0.20 machine from the laptop (localhost 127.0.0.1) via browser (Safari : http://192.168.0.20).

 

Preference Pane / Network still shows good ( IP (Vostro) = 192.168.0.23, Subnet = 255.255.255.0 , Router = 192.168.0.1 , all there ).

 

I also tried to boot -x / save mode but makes no difference

 

any Idea out there? many thanks! :D
