    Home Network? thought I could handle this...

     
    But I guess I was wrong and i really hope someone here can give me an answer...

    Here it goes I built a home network with a d link 604 router.
    2 Xp Pro Machines & 1 win 2000 pro. All Have 512 ram or more,
    and from the p4 I can access all shared folder that I need( The ones on the win 2000 are irrelevant.)on the AMD but no such luck vice versa? from the amd i can access printer that is connected to P4 and I can see that the P4 is connected to the network but it tells me i dont have right to access. again the other way from p4 to AMD no problem! I have played with the router settings, win services admin services , user accounts I have basically left my system wide open for connections from anyone and still i cant log on to my p4 from the amd. WHAT AM I MISSING?


    If anyone has a clue im ready to try anything.
    Thanks for the help in advance

    make sure that your windows firewall is off! I have had the same problem.... all it was was the windows firewall was turned on. Try that.. if in your network connections it shows a lock in the connection picture that means that the windows firewall is on. GL

    BTW I know u already said firewalls were off but I had this exact same thing happen and that was the culprit.

    yeah i had that in the past too and it was 1 of the first things I checked I althogh i have had it working on and off it isn't on for the purposes of these tests. like i said my pc is wide open right now . i also have pc anywhere installed and can acess both pc's that way but is a pain in the butt and doesn't fix my real problem.... which im sure is related to access rights somehow.

    My true intention is to get this stupid eazyshare program working for my all in wonder card and it is supposed to feed live tv to all others on the network. and when i work in the ATI prperties its giving me same result as windows (SERVER sees Client) (Client can't Find Server)

    Ok after a full night of tinkering. This is what I have done again and doublechecked.
    No Firewalls on. Have rotated pc's into the "DMZ" 1 by 1, checked my administrateve services for group and access permissions, changed user names and passwords, shared all my folders rebooted all modems reinstalled protocols,basically i have done everything except reinstall the p4(which I really dont want to do just for this)

    Ive narrowwed it down to either

    A- A missing registry key somehwhere (wouldnt know where to start)
    B- The Permissions aren't being set Right (cant see why)
    or
    C- the default port windows uses to access a server on the network is blocked

    in which case I'm pretty much baffled by all 3 any help would really be appreciated I thank you guys for trying so far
    hopefully someone will be able to come up with a solution
    ( maybe DVNT1 )

    Thanks again Guys

    Try the command line. (from the client machine) That will give you more detailed error messages. Also you can give it modifers that you use if your network settings are not correct. The command for connection to drives is:

    net use * \\servername\sharename
    Where * is a drive letter ( you can use the * and it will just pick the next free one)

    Try to ping the server, both by IP and by name.
    If you can ping by IP, but not by name then your NetBIOS settings are incorrect.

    You can also try:
    net use * \\servername\sharename /user:username password
    Where username is on the server, not the local machine

    If that does not work try:
    net view \\servername
    You can get help on the net commands by typing:
    net /help or net use /help.

    If your network settings are incorrect you will get an error. Next try:
    nbtstat -a \\servername

    That will give you info about your network settings. Google for more info on nbstat and how to understand the results

    Make sure that the workgroup names are correct for all machines on your network, check that the user ID's and ACL's are set correctly. To test this relax all security settings by letting everyone read files on your server. Make sure your passwords are correct. Reset them to make sure.

    Good Luck
