SP2 and inbound connections
Got 2 PCs that have this problem since they got SP2 installed - they are not
accepting external connections. One - 'compliance' - has a printer that is shared out; a co-worker in that office was able to print from her iMac to the 'compliance' PC until it got SP2 installed. Now when we try to browse to that PC in the domain list (a 3rd-party PC-Mac app is installed on the Mac), we can hit almost any other PC which will give us a "log in please" prompt but when we come to the 'compliance' PC, it simply stops and says "PC not found". you CAN ping the PC and bring up the C$ share, so it has SOME connectivity. The other - 'camp' - was brought down here as it was acting up after SP2 did not complete installation. Un/reinstalled SP2 and it's running smoother - but only thing - it is not allowing ANY inbound traffic other than Email / Web / IM. For example, you can't even ping it OR access the C$ share - it's like it's not there. Also, we are unable to connect to it using VNC OR remote desktop. In both cases, we have a group policy that prevents the firewall from starting - these are the ONLY 2 so far that are not allowing connections. Our network is behind a stout firewall, so we have no need for Windows' firewall on our corporate machines. any help in getting this resolved would be MUCH appreciated! Dave |

Dave, Let's look at these two computers, Compliance and Camp, as separate cases. Look at Compliance. Do other computers also have trouble connecting to it? I'll have diagnostics which I'll suggest that you run, from other Windows computers, but for an iMac, I'll refer you to some useful websites. http://www.macwindows.com http://www.joelshoemaker.com http://www.macosxhints.com/article.p...0738627&query=... http://www.macmend.com http://www.chicagotech.net/browser.htm http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ary/en-us/netm... Look at Camp. This sounds like a possible LSP/Winsock or TCP/IP problem. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=318584 http://support.microsoft.com/?id=811259 1. Start - Run - "cmd". 2. Type "netsh winsock reset catalog" into the command window. Give LSP-Fix http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm, WinsockFix http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=257, or WinsockXPFix http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html a shot, if no success from the netsh command. If no help yet, reset TCP/IP. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=299357 Start - Run - "cmd". Type "netsh int ip reset c:\netsh.txt" into the command window. Having researched the iMAC possibilities, and having checked the LSP/Winsock situation on Camp, lets look at those two computers, PLUS a third Windows computer with no known problem, that we will need as a control. Please provide ipconfig information for at least those three computers. Start - Run - "cmd" - Type "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command window. Open Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!, open file c:\ipconfig.txt, copy and paste entire contents into your next post. Identify operating system (by name, version, and SP level) with each ipconfig listing. Let's use mine as a control then... it is and always has been set for full DHCP - present IP 192.168.1.120 OS, ALL 3 PCs are Windows XP with SP2 installed (mine was upgraded to SP2 manually, but the other 2 had it pushed via SUS). The iMac has OS X 10.3.8 and uses the admitMac software from Thursby - this is already being used successfully on the Macs in our graphic arts department (this staffer used to be in that department and don't wanna go PC :-P) Normally, the 'Compliance' PC has no resources shared out but like I said, I have no problem pinging it or pulling up the C$ share. It has a static IP - 192.168.1.204 (for 1/1 NAT to allow incoming video calls via Netmeeting). The sole reason for sharing out the printer was so the iMac user can print out documents that would not be advisable to print to the common printer in the breakroom. The 'camp' PC is presently set for DHCP (present IP 192.168.1.147) since it's down here, but when it's back up in the office, it too has a static IP for 1/1 NAT for incoming video calls (its regular IP is 192.168.17.253) This is all the info I can pull up for now - as soon as practical, I'll give more info. I'll try the solutions to get the 'camp' PC back up as that staff person returns Monday. Dave |
