Workgroup and Internet Oriented Programs
I have 3 computers hooked up to a central HUB all with XP home. I just installed XP, and tried to set up a workgroup. But for some reason they can see me, cannot access me, and I can't see them still. I can get on the internet fine, but I cant access real
player or Juno. THe programs say they cant see a connection. The Firewall is off, and I can't figure it out. |

Some third party firewalls can't be disabled successfully. You might be better off un installing, or enabling then allow file and printer sharing by opening the following ports: TCP 139, 445; UDP 137, 138, 445. Which computer can access the internet (how?) but can't access Real Player or Juno? Why do you need either? ;} Please provide ipconfig information for each computer. Start - Run - "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post. What type of internet service do you have (dialup, cable, DSL)? You can't use a hub to share internet service - what is your internet sharing (router, ICS, proxy server)? Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |

Workgroup and Internet Oriented Programs
Well, using a hub (instead of a DSL/Cable modem router),
you probably do not have DHCP services running, unless you are running ICS on one of the computers. Without this, IP setup will be a real pain. I would suggest you run ICS just for these services, even if you are not accessing the Internet from all the computers. Anyway, for additional info, check out the post following this, as I just talked in some detail about this, and have also disucssed this in several of the other posts here. Check them out too.
