XP Client can't connect (or ping) Host XP machine over wired L
Hi John,
Thanks for your suggestions. I had already tried some of the KB 946937 ideas without any luck. The KB 278658 ideas were also examined but the stubborn client did not have any problems with Netbios over TCPIP being disabled. The latest thing I tried was to uninstall McAfee on the client (everything, especially the McAfee firewall) then reinstall ONLY the virsus scan module. Still no dice. I've tried googling "problems enabling NetBIOS over Tcpip" and found a number of different threads on different forums, one of which seemed to be similar to my problem: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum...fm/579159.html Still, there didn't seem to be anything there I haven't already tried. Something else which may be a clue (?) to my problem: when I double click on the Local Area Network icon (in the tray) and try to "repair" the connection on the Support Tab (even though it says, Windows did not detect any problems with this connection), I get the following "error": WINDOWS COULD NOT FINISH REPAIRING THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE FOLLOWING ACTION COULD NOT BE COMPLETED: Clearing NetBT Chasing down this (googling) led to a forum where a person was having problems connecting to the internet and he practically had to remove & reinstall his NIC then use a utility to repair his TCPIP and Winsock: http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?t=192288 Since I am unable to post them on this forum, here is a link to a screen shot of the current Registry settings for this stubborn client: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\NetBT\Parameters http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...Parameters.jpg The only alternatives I see now are to: (1) Use System Restore to attempt to go back in time & reset parameters to a time when the client DID connect to the network (if that is still possible). (2) Try posting on some other forums such as: http://networking.nitecruzr.net/sear...IOS+over+Tcpip (3) Call the Geek Squad & try to stump THEM. (4) Give up. What frustrates me is that this is a virtually brand new, custom built PC with lots of horsepower & memory & should not be having these kinds of problems. You have been most generous with your time and I thank you very much for sharing it with me. If you have any other suggestions or ideas as to forums which may be helpful (or to cross-post this thread elsewhere on the MSFT forum) it would be greatly appreciated.
