Computer A (new main) computer ethernet connected to D-Link Router
Computer B (old) computer ethernet connected to D-Link Router Computer C (laptop) wirelessly connected to D-Link Router "All" computers can see Computer B & C in Network Places and can share files and B & C can see and use printers on Computer A. All computers running XP with SP2, except Computer B doesn't have SP2 (won't update properly -- but B works fine). However, "nobody" can see Computer A in Network Places. Any thoughts -- this is driving me crazy -- trying to move files around. -- Ron Smith in Round Rock |

Ron, For any system running Windows XP SP2, check Windows Firewall, and make sure the File and Printer Sharing exception is enabled. Any third party firewalls? Make sure they're properly configured too. Next check for a browser conflict between the computers. I"m not talking about Internet Explorer here. The browser is the program that allows any computer to see any other computer on the LAN. For a 3 computer LAN, you need the browser running on just 2 of them. Identify the 2 computers that stay online the most, and make sure the browser service is running on them. Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services. Verify that the Computer Browser, and the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, services both show with Status = Started. Stop, then Disable the browser service on the other computer. After checking / disabling / enabling as above, power all computers off to reset the browser settings on each. Then power all back on again. The Microsoft Browstat program will show us what browsers (I'm not talking about Internet Explorer here) you have in your domain / workgroup, at any time. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188305 You can download Browstat from either: http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/browstat.zip http://rescomp.stanford.edu/staff/manual/rcc/tools/browstat.zip Browstat is very small (40K), and needs no install.

Hi
May be this can Help. Read first the whole page (I.e. resist the urge to click on any of the links). Once you understand the general scope start to investigate the links that concern your specific setting. Link to: http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html Jack (MVP-Networking).

Steve, Didn't get the question/option for "computer connects to the Internet
through a residential gateway". I have run the Network Setup Wizard on the other computers in the past, and nothing seems to change (by the way, Network Setup Wizard won't run on the laptop -- double click it and nothing happens?).

Chuck, The Computer Browser is not running on Computer B -- just says manual
-- don't know why. Was I also supposed to stop the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper on B -- it is running -- couldn't really tell from your response. Computer Browser and TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper is running on Computer A & C. Also, it looks like you have to go to Properties to disable -- is that right -- anyway, I didn't disable the Computer Browser on Computer B since it was not started -- I did reboot Computer B -- no change.

Chuck, Yes, I did a complete "Power Off" (just did re-boots earlier) and
still no change. Browstat doesn't seem to want to run. I downloaded it, but when i run it, a Command Window pops up and goes away so fast I can't see anything in the window. Still don't have a clue as to why Computer A is not seen on the Home Computing network. (One somewhat thing is: under Entire Network (under My Network Places) on Computer A, I only see one entry (Microsoft Windows Network) whereas on the other 2 visable networked computers (B & C), under Entire Computer, I see 3 entries (MS Terminal Services, MS Windows Network, and Web Client Network) -- don't know what any of these do except that I do see the MSHOME network under the MS Windows Network entry. -- Ron "Chuck" wrote: On Wed, 2 Mar 2005 12:31:16 -0800, Ron Smith wrote: Chuck, The Computer Browser is not running on Computer B -- just says manual -- don't know why.

Steve, no, I can't get any of your suggestions to work -- and seem to be
digressing -- now the Run \\computerA command on Computer B doesn't even work any more -- getting "The network path was not found". Should I be able to see Computer A under Network Places on Computer A (Computer B & C always see themselves under Network Places). This should't be this hard should it -- the other computers just fell into place. I will mention that under Entire Network on Computers B & C, I see entries for MS Terminal Services, MS Windows Network and Web Client Network, whereas on Computer A, I only see the MS Windows Network entry under the Entire Network. -- Ron "Steve Winograd [MVP]" wrote: In article , Ron Smith wrote: Computer A (new main) computer ethernet connected to D-Link Router Computer B (old) computer ethernet connected to D-Link Router Computer C (laptop) wirelessly connected to D-Link Router "All" computers can see Computer B & C in Network Places and can share files and B & C can see and use printers on Computer A.

That's exactly what should happen. You can access the share through the new window. To make the shared folder appear in My Network Places, you can either: 1. Click "Add a network place" and follow the prompts to create a shortcut to it. or: 2. Drag and drop the shared folder from the new Window into My Network Places. Steve, no, I can't get any of your suggestions to work -- and seem to be digressing -- now the Run \\computerA command on Computer B doesn't even work any more -- getting "The network path was not found". Should I be able to see Computer A under Network Places on Computer A (Computer B & C always see themselves under Network Places). This should't be this hard should it -- the other computers just fell into place. I will mention that under Entire Network on Computers B & C, I see entries for MS Terminal Services, MS Windows Network and Web Client Network, whereas on Computer A, I only see the MS Windows Network entry under the Entire Network. The network browsing function is apparently messed up, and I see that Chuck is working with you to get it fixed. Make sure that a firewall on A isn't blocking access. In the meantime, try manually creating a shortcut in My Network Places on B or C. Click "Add a network place" and specify the network address in the format \\computer\share. Then, click the shortcut and see what happens. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups. Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Program http://mvp.support.microsoft.com |

Chuck, OK, here goes again -- sorry, I may have messed up the previous word
wrap settings. Also before I post tht ipconfig stuff, you mentioned I only needed Client ..., File and Print..., and Internet Protocol in Properties -- well in addition to those (and the IPV6 which I removed), I have a whole bunch of extra stuff on the laptop (Network Monitor Driver, NW Link Net BIOS, NW Link IPX/SPX/Net Bios Compatible Transport Protocol).
