Network Connection Issue (File Sharing)
I am having a strange problem involving two Pentium 4
computers each running Windows XP Home version, SP2, a Microsoft MN700 802.11g Wireless Router, a Cable Modem, and a Sound Blaster Wireless Music device. Each computer also runs Norton Internet Security 2004 (with Norton Antivirus 2004) and each have been recently scanned with Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D and are "Clean". The cable modem is connected to the router (wired), the router is connected to computer "A" (wired). Computer "B" and the Sound Blaster device each connect wirelessly to the router. The router is running in "mixed compatibility mode" since the SoundBlaster is an 802.11b device, but the adapter at Computer "B" is a Lynksys 802.11g device. The router sees all the devices just as it should with separate IP addresses. That is, all devices show up in the router's Management Tool correctly named and with unique DHCP assigned IP addresses. Each wireless network device is correctly configured for the right SSID, WEP key, channel, etc. Wireless music device receives media and plays just fine. When I am on either computer "A" or "B", I can read e-mail, and surf the Internet just fine. Adapter at computer "B" shows "Excellent" connection at 54Mps. Bottom line is I seem to have full connectivity to the router for each device/location. My problem: I cannot see a "Workgroup" or shared files from either computer in My Network Places, even though I have "Microsoft File and Print Sharing" service running on each network device at each computer, and have shared folders at each location. I have checked the name of each computer to make sure they are different, and that the "workgroup" name is the same. I have read Microsoft's recent articles on "Troubleshooting File and Printer Sharing on Microsoft Windows XP" at: http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx? FamilyID=fd7fd48d-6b4a-448e-a632- 076f98a351a2&displaylang=en and "Troubleshooting Internet Connection firewall (ICF) on Microsoft Windows XP" at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx? FamilyID=b3d01193-ad93-492f-b74b- 97c2fc44e08b&DisplayLang=en. Both very informative articles, but neither solved my problem. They seem to focus on Windows/Internet connection firewall as maybe causing an issue, but I should point out that I am not even running ICF. In Security Monitor, I have turned ICF off and choose "I have a third party firewall that I will monitor myself" (and yes, I have turned Norton Internet Security off as well to see if that was causing the problem). I can successfully ping the router from each computer, I can successfully ping internet IP addresses and named internet addresses from either computer. I CANNOT ping computer "B" from computer "A" and vice versa. Just for kicks, I did add the NetBIOS protocol at each computer, and got mixed results. Computer "A" could the see Computer "B and its shared files, but Computer "B" still could not see Computer "A" in My Network Places. I have uninstalled and re-installed the router at computer "A", the wireless adapter at computer "B", "File and Print Sharing on Microsoft Networks" on both computers several times, and have also un-shared and re- shared files on each computer several times. Installations occur without event, but still the same end result. I am very sorry this is such a huge post, but I wanted to clarify previous posts and actions taken to date. I am posting in microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware and in microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web, since I have the MN700 router and am not sure if that is the problem. If neither is the right newsgroup please let me know. |

If neither is the right newsgroup please let me know. Fred, I'm suspecting several possible problems here. The simplest might be reflected in the ipconfig for the computers. Please provide ipconfig information for each computer. Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post. Please provide adhoc browser view for each computer. Start - Run - "cmd". Type "net view c:\netview.txt" into the command window - Open c:\netview.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post. Norton Internet Security, like other personal firewalls, is known to cause problems with file sharing. Disabling it does not always solve the problem. You might be better off re enabling it, and designating the other computers as trusted. Other than properly configuring it, some folks have reported relief by un installing NIS and NAV, totally, using all Symantec un install procedures. Let's start with ipconfig and net view, then move forward after we have your pinging working. Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |

Then rerun "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" and repost with new ipconfig.txt files. Are you actually accessing websites in the IPV6 address space? If so, we'll figure out how to get IPV6 working, properly, after you get (IPV4) file sharing working. Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |

I also had the following erro in "System" under Event Viewer on Computer "B": DCOM Error: The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {D851F103-8C90-4321-AFF0-58BA5BD421C2} to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool. I look in Administrative Tools under "Services and did not that "Server" and "Workstation" for both computers is started and set for automatic. I also noted that there is no TCP/IP filtering set for either network device. Fred, The first thing you need to do is get rid of IPV6 on both computers. Reboot after un install. Then rerun "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" and repost with new ipconfig.txt files. Are you actually accessing websites in the IPV6 address space? If so, we'll figure out how to get IPV6 working, properly, after you get (IPV4) file sharing working. Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. . |

Network Connection Issue (File Sharing)
Chuck,
I think I have solved my problem. I had told you that I had disabled Norton Firewall as I tried to troubleshoot my prblem. While awaiting your last post, I saw another post that said disableing Norton does not really work, and that you had to uninstall it. Well I did not unistall, but that did lead me to look long and hard at the Firewall's configuration settings. I found several things, including that it was set to block file sharing,and was set to block ICMP requests. Finally, even though I ran it's networking wizard, Norton failed to add ny subnet to trusted computers. Iam ahsame3d and embarrassed that I trusted Norton's wizzard and did not previously explore this. I now have full file and print sharing capability, and can sucessfully ping each computer from each other, etc. Thanks for yor time and effort in helping me trouble shoot this problem. -----Original Message----- On Thu, 23 Sep 2004 13:31:31 -0700, "Fred" wrote: Chuck, Ok I deleted the IPv6 protocal from both computers (no, I wasn't using it - it just loaded with the lynksys wireless adapter on computer "B" so I loaded it on computer "A" hoping it would help).

Fred, It's amazing how many times a misconfigured personal firewall contributes to a problem like this. And many times, I'll have to provide two or three rounds of diagnoses like what you were going thru, before the person being helped will accept that MAYBE the PF needs to be un installed, or reconfigured. You figured it out in the second round. Without prompting. That deserves a pat on the back. Not embarrassment. Thanks for the feedback.

Each computer also runs Norton Internet Security 2004 (with Norton Antivirus 2004) and each have been recently scanned with Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D and are "Clean". The cable modem is connected to the router (wired), the router is connected to computer "A" (wired). Computer "B" and the Sound Blaster device each connect wirelessly to the router. The router is running in "mixed compatibility mode" since the SoundBlaster is an 802.11b device, but the adapter at Computer "B" is a Lynksys 802.11g device. The router sees all the devices just as it should with separate IP addresses. That is, all devices show up in the router's Management Tool correctly named and with unique DHCP assigned IP addresses. Each wireless network device is correctly configured for the right SSID, WEP key, channel, etc. Wireless music device receives media and plays just fine. When I am on either computer "A" or "B", I can read e-mail, and surf the Internet just fine. Adapter at computer "B" shows "Excellent" connection at 54Mps. Bottom line is I seem to have full connectivity to the router for each device/location. My problem: I cannot see a "Workgroup" or shared files from either computer in My Network Places, even though I have "Microsoft File and Print Sharing" service running on each network device at each computer, and have shared folders at each location. I have checked the name of each computer to make sure they are different, and that the "workgroup" name is the same. I have read Microsoft's recent articles on "Troubleshooting File and Printer Sharing on Microsoft Windows XP" at: http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx? FamilyID=fd7fd48d-6b4a-448e-a632- 076f98a351a2&displaylang=en and "Troubleshooting Internet Connection firewall (ICF) on Microsoft Windows XP" at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx? FamilyID=b3d01193-ad93-492f-b74b- 97c2fc44e08b&DisplayLang=en. Both very informative articles, but neither solved my problem. They seem to focus on Windows/Internet connection firewall as maybe causing an issue, but I should point out that I am not even running ICF. In Security Monitor, I have turned ICF off and choose "I have a third party firewall that I will monitor myself" (and yes, I have turned Norton Internet Security off as well to see if that was causing the problem). I can successfully ping the router from each computer, I can successfully ping internet IP addresses and named internet addresses from either computer. I CANNOT ping computer "B" from computer "A" and vice versa. Just for kicks, I did add the NetBIOS protocol at each computer, and got mixed results. Computer "A" could the see Computer "B and its shared files, but Computer "B" still could not see Computer "A" in My Network Places. I have uninstalled and re-installed the router at computer "A", the wireless adapter at computer "B", "File and Print Sharing on Microsoft Networks" on both computers several times, and have also un-shared and re- shared files on each computer several times. Installations occur without event, but still the same end result. I am very sorry this is such a huge post, but I wanted to clarify previous posts and actions taken to date. I am posting in microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware and in microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web, since I have the MN700 router and am not sure if that is the problem. If neither is the right newsgroup please let me know. Fred, I'm suspecting several possible problems here. The simplest might be reflected in the ipconfig for the computers. Please provide ipconfig information for each computer. Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post. Please provide adhoc browser view for each computer. Start - Run - "cmd". Type "net view c:\netview.txt" into the command window - Open c:\netview.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post. Norton Internet Security, like other personal firewalls, is known to cause problems with file sharing. Disabling it does not always solve the problem. You might be better off re enabling it, and designating the other computers as trusted. Other than properly configuring it, some folks have reported relief by un installing NIS and NAV, totally, using all Symantec un install procedures. Let's start with ipconfig and net view, then move forward after we have your pinging working. Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. . |
