home network problems
Help
I have a home network using a desktop and laptop pc, both with WXP pro and SP3. Using netgear wireless router connected by wire to the desktop and by wireless netgear usb adapter to laptop. I set up a network and can file share. I can run remote desktop from the desktop to the laptop, but not the other way around I can ping the laptop from the desktop, but not the other way around. I want to run remote desktop on the laptop to control the desktop. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bob |

Don't know what SP3 is, but if you are running SP2 with the firewall
enabled, go to Control Panel/Security Center. On the Exceptions tab for the Windows Firewall, check the box for Remote Desktop.

home network problems
My bad - I am running service pack 2. Forgot to mention,
I have made the exception for remote desktop. I even completely disabled the firewalls on both computers, Both are set up for networking and both use tcp/ip internet protocal. I use vpn from the desktop to connect to a work computer, and thought that maybe some of the stuff that the vpn adds into the network configuration was the problem, so I loaded the vpn s/w on both computers. But still no luck. Here is a summary of the stuff I have under my network properties: 1) client for ms networks 2) file & print sharing for ms networks 3) deterministic network enhancer 4) service advertising protocal 5) QoS packet scheduler 6) nwlink netbios 7) nwlink ipx/spx/netbios compatible transport protocal 8) internet protocal (tcp/ip) I believe that 4 and 5 get added when I install vpn for work. My network is as follows: 192.168.0.1 - wireless router 192.168.0.2 - desktop wired to router 192.168.0.3 - laptop usb wireless connected to router want to run .2 remotely from .3, cannot ping .3 from .2 but can do the reverse for remote desktop and ping. Any help is greatly appreciated as I have spent a ton of time troubleshooting. ps also have tried router set up w/ and w/o security, but since I can file share I dont think that is the problem Bob -----Original Message----- Don't know what SP3 is, but if you are running SP2 with the firewall enabled, go to Control Panel/Security Center.

I think I'm beginning to sound like a fanatic about this...
Deterministic Network Enhancer is one item installed by Cisco 3000 VPN. I don't know if other VPN clients use this too. Maybe your problem is similar and you can modify my solution to your needs. In my case, I've used Cisco for awhile then updated to SP2. The update appears to break the Cisco client. I used Add/Remove Programs to remove Cisco without clearing up the problem. The symptoms are very similar to having a firewall installed on the problem computer, but no obvious firewall softwall can be found. I found these ZoneLabs firewall components on my computer - vsutil.dll and vsdatant.sys. To fix this problem, I did the following: 1) Find and use complete manual uninstall instructions for Cisco VPN client and ZoneAlarm. 2) Reset TCP/IP stack 3) Reinstall Cisco VPN Client 4) Add exception to Windows Firewall suggested in Cisco support forum. (Mine works fine without it, but some people seem to need it) 5) Uncheck "Stateful firewall" in the Cisco Client so I could use my home network during a VPN session. If you are running Cisco 3000 VPN, I have links to the detailed manual uninstall instructions, or you can search for some of my previous posts.

Lance,
Your the Man ! Cisco VPN was the culprit. As soon as I unloaded it all was well. Thanks for responding to my post !

home network problems
Hi,
Just a general thought. I only have "this" much experience with networking, and I am trying to learn. But, isn't there a substantial risk in posting IP addresses and network configuration information for many to see? I am quite alarmed by how easy it has become for a hacker to mess with my stuff, or yours. I also realize that without some specific configuration data, it can be almost impossible to properly diagnose some network woes. Can there ever be a happy medium??
