Strange File Sharing Problem
Malke gave you good information to work with. Here's one small addition
regarding your mention of what is shown in the network - "It is particularly strange that it will not show the name of the old machine for which it shows and, subsequently uses, the shares." Check that NetBIOS is enabled on all 3 machines. Network Connections / Properties on your connection / Highlight Internet Protocol ( TCP/IP) / Advanced button / WINS TAB Set Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on all 3 computers. -- "Steve Behman" wrote in message ... . I am sorry that I gave you an incomplete response to your question about errors and messages. The new machine shows the shares on itself and one of the old machines. That having been said, when I look at the "Microsoft Windows Network" on the new machine it shows the workgroup name but attempts to expand the workgroup it gives a message to the effect that it cannot access the workgroup, possibly due to insufficient permissions. Both of the old machines show all the members of the workgroup. It is particularly strange that it will not show the name of the old machine for which it shows and, subsequently uses, the shares. I hope that this fully answers your questions, |

Strange File Sharing Problem
I think I need to explain why I eliminated one of the old machines -- the
purpose of the new machine is to replace the one I eliminated. Indeed, McAfee was getting in the way! When I disabled the McAfee on both machines things went well even, when I reinstated both firewalls. I'm now confronted with yet another problem which is probably, more correctly, the subject of the new thread i.e. when I try to install Remote Desktop each machine is unable to find the other in "Locations" even if I disable the two Windows Firewalls and the McAfee Firewalls. The complaint paraphrase broadly is that; the workgroup has no machine with "Terminal Services" is present. Please let me know if I should open another thread with this issue. Thanks once again, SteveThanks all. "Steve Behman" wrote: I had a two machine LAN (all XP Pro) which operated symmetrically, i.e. each machine could access the "Shares" given the by the other. I added a third XP Pro machine and created two new shares for folders on that machine. The problem is that, while both old machines can access the shares on the new machine, the new machine can access the shares on only **one** of the old machines!! All machines have a "node type" of "unknown". I have tried everything I can think of (including running the Create Small Business Network wizard on all three machines.) This asymmetric behavior strikes me as being bizarre. I would be very grateful if some kind soul would please help me identify and solve the problem which, BTW, is driving me "over the hill." |
