XP home file and printer sharing
I have networked two computers both running XP home. The main computer has
the modem (dial up) and the printers. The internet can be accessed from the remote computer as well as the main, but I cannot get file or printer sharing, even though I have selected both. On the main computer printer sharing is enabled, but I cannot get access from the remorte computer. On the remote computer file sharing is enabled, but I cannot get access from the main computer. Can anyone help please? Thanks -- Gulp |

If so, you need to configure them for file sharing, by opening ports TCP 139, 445 and UDP 137, 138, 445, by enabling the File and Printer Sharing exception, and / or by identifying the other computers as present in the Local (Trusted) zone.

The OP said two XP Home computers, you said one XP Home and one XP Pro. Your problem could be different. Please start a new thread, using a descriptive and unique Subject. This will help others here find your posts, and reply to them, much easier. Quote the entire error, not just the error number, please.

XP home file and printer sharing
Thanks very much for this Chuck. I have made progress and have got access to
one printer from the remote computer but not the other and still no file sharing. It is XP with service pack 2 on both computers. Have checked the client for microsoft networks, NetBIOS over TCP.... Browser service and TCP/IP both show started. Have enabled Guest. The main computer has Norton Internet Security and when I entered the IP address for the main compute on their configuation for network windowr the remote computer got access to one of the printers (I have 2 on the main computer). I have also disabled the Microsoft firewall from both computers. I am afraid I could not find anything about opening the ports TCP 139, 445 and UDP etc. so havn't been able to do this. From each computer the results of the test shares are as follows. However, I can only find a IP address for the main computer. The remote computer has the option on th properties of "obtain IP address automatically". Is this a problem? If it is, do I need to assign an IP address to the remote computer? If so, how? The results of the net view tests sumarised a From remote computer: 1. shared resources at computername followed by a list of drives and folders that are shared. The bottom line is "command completed successfully" 2. Cannot do this as I do not know the IP address 3. List of both printers and some folders. Finished with "command completed successfully" 4. Exactly the same as 3. From main computer 1. One of the printers. Folowed by some folders. End with "command completed successfully" 2. as above 3. System error 5. Access denied 3. Cannot do as I do not know IP address for remote computer. Thanks again for your help. It is much appreciated.

Thanks again for your help. I think enabling the FPS on breakfast did make a
differrence. On the remote (breakfast) I can now see files and folders on the main, but cannot access them ("access is denied you may not have permission"). I still cannot see the Canon printer from breakfast, and can see nothing of Breakfast from the main. Here are the results of the tests. From Office 1. canon i86 print Canon i865 daniel Disk HP DeskHe Print HP DeskJet 895CXi Lucas Arts Disk My Documents Disk My Files Disk Share Docs Disk Command completed successfully. 2.

On the remote computer (breakfast) in user rights assignment policies, guest
was included in "deny access to this computer from the network". I have removed it. Is this right? On the security options network access policies policies the values are as follows: "do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts" Enabled "do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares" Disabled "Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users" Disabled. Do I need to change any of these? On the main computer I cannot find the Local Security Policy. I have looked everywhere for it but it doesn't seem to appear. Hope you can help.

wrote: On the remote computer (breakfast) in user rights assignment policies, guest was included in "deny access to this computer from the network". I have removed it. Is this right? On the security options network access policies policies the values are as follows: "do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts" Enabled "do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares" Disabled "Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users" Disabled. Do I need to change any of these? On the main computer I cannot find the Local Security Policy. I have looked everywhere for it but it doesn't seem to appear. Access to Breakfast is the problem, right? Removing Guest from the Deny list is a start. Next change the anonymous access policies from Enabled - Disabled - Disabled to Disabled - Enabled - Enabled. Then do a "net view breakfast" from Office. Access to Office from Breakfast is not a problem, right? Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |
