I need help networking 2 computers together
I am trying to network my desktop and my notebook computer together using a
RJ-45 crossover cable. Now I connected the computers together and it detects a it. You see on my notebook the Local Area connection status says it is connected. Meanwhile on my lovely desktop the status reads "Limited or no connectivity". I ran through the Networking Wizard and it seemed to work on both but it won't detect another computer in the Network Connections menu on either one of them. Does anyone know anything that can help me. All I want to do is transfer files to my notebook so I have a backup copy of them. |

Adam, The "Limited or no connectivity" error is XP SP2 telling you that your computer is setup for automatic address assignment, but there's no server available to assign an address. For a two computer cross-over connection, this should work. Please provide ipconfig information for each computer, and let's see where your problem lies. Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!, copy and paste entire contents into your next post. Identify operating system (by name, version, and SP level) with each ipconfig listing. BTW, one post would have been sufficient. ;-) -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |

You're running Teredo Tunneling, aka IPV6, on Desktop. Do you need access to IPV6 addresses? Please start by un installing IPV6, aka Advanced Networking, from the list of items under Local Area Connection Properties. You only need the following items in the list: Client for Microsoft Networks File and Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks QoS Packet Scheduler (optional) Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Are you running both Client for Microsoft Networks, and File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks (Local Area Connection - Properties), on each computer? Do you have shares setup on each? Are you running NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (Local Area Connection - Properties - TCP/IP - Properties - Advanced - WINS) on each computer? Make sure the browser service is running on Desktop. Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services. Verify that the Computer Browser, and the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, services both show with Status = Started. Disable browser on Laptop. On any XP Pro computer, enable Simple File Sharing (Control Panel - Folder Options - View - Advanced settings). Make sure that the Guest account is enabled, on each computer. Enable Guest with Start - Run - "cmd", then type "net user guest /active:yes" in the command window. On XP Pro, if you're going to use Guest authentication, check your Local Security Policy (Control Panel - Administrative Tools) - User Rights Assignment, on the XP Pro computer, and look at "Deny access to this computer from the network". Make sure Guest is not in the list. If that doesn't make everything work, rerun "ipconfig /all" on Desktop, and repost. Then we'll look a little deeper. And don't worry about "Limited or no connectivity". -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |

I need help networking 2 computers together
Chuck,
I did most of the things you told me on the list but some of them I don't understand. I did some of the steps and I restarted and it still wouldn't detect another pc on the network. Let me run down the list with you on what I did. You're running Teredo Tunneling, aka IPV6, on Desktop. Do you need access to IPV6 addresses? I don't really know what that is. Is it useful or is it necessary for me because I don't know. Please start by un installing IPV6, aka Advanced Networking, from the list of items under Local Area Connection Properties. You only need the following items in the list: Client for Microsoft Networks File and Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks QoS Packet Scheduler (optional) Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Ok well on this one I couldn't find IPV6/Advanced Networking on the list. I left the other items you told me to leave checked and I just unchecked the others. Should I have uninstalled those other items. I have this one thing on the list called Microsoft TCP/IP version 6. I uncheck that too. Is that the IPV6/Advanced Networking item you are referring to? Are you running both Client for Microsoft Networks, and File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks (Local Area Connection - Properties), on each computer? Do you have shares setup on each? Yes I am running Client for Microsoft Networks & File & Printer Sharing on both. But what do you mean by shares setup? Are you running NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (Local Area Connection - Properties - TCP/IP - Properties - Advanced - WINS) on each computer? Ok I followed that and changed it appropriately on each computer. Make sure the browser service is running on Desktop. Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services. Verify that the Computer Browser, and the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, services both show with Status = Started. Disable browser on Laptop. I followed that step through and did as you said On any XP Pro computer, enable Simple File Sharing (Control Panel - Folder Options - View - Advanced settings). Did that. Make sure that the Guest account is enabled, on each computer. Enable Guest with Start - Run - "cmd", then type "net user guest /active:yes" in the command window. Did that on both.

Are you running both Client for Microsoft Networks, and File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks (Local Area Connection - Properties), on each computer? Do you have shares setup on each? Yes I am running Client for Microsoft Networks & File & Printer Sharing on both. But what do you mean by shares setup? With Windows XP, Network Neighborhood displays available shares in the workgroup. No shares setup = no display of that computer in NN. You setup a folder to be shared, in Windows Explorer for instance, by folder Properties - Sharing - "Share this folder". Are you running NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (Local Area Connection - Properties - TCP/IP - Properties - Advanced - WINS) on each computer? Ok I followed that and changed it appropriately on each computer.

Then we'll look a little deeper. And don't worry about "Limited or no connectivity". Here are the results of "ipconfig /all" SNIP Did you reboot after un checking TCP/IP V6? I still see Teredo Tunneling. The ipconfig for Laptop shows an IP address of 169.254.98.151 / 255.255.0.0. Get rid of TT on Desktop, and see if you get a 169.254.x.x address there too. Once you have the Desktop LAN IP address right, and without "NetBIOS over Tcpip. .. . . . . . . : Disabled", you should have connectivity. If it still doesn't work, we'll look at permissions etc. Be sure to post an updated "ipconfig /all" for Desktop. -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |

I need help networking 2 computers together
Chuck,
I am still having problems connecting my two computers together. I checked in My Network Places and there still is no sign of the two computers. Atleast I know there is a connection because when I shut off my notebook it says there isn't a connection anymore on my desktop. Also I noticed that Terredo Tunnelling is still showing up even though I uninstalled IPV6, I also rebooted as well. I don't have a strong background in networking and don't know what the issue is but I do appreciate your help with all of this.

Also, why do I see "Media disconnected" for the Ethernet adapter status on Desktop? If it thinks there's no media in the adapter, that might explain why it's not getting an ip address (I don't know how I missed that from the earlier ipconfig either...). I think you need to un install and re install the network adapter drivers (you are running the most current drivers right?). Maybe hardware diagnostics for the drivers (My Computer - Hardware - Device Manager - Network adapters) will give a clue. -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |

I need help networking 2 computers together
Chuck,
I've been busy all week thats why I couldn't reply so soon but I finally got to your post this evening. You now have two things which make me curious. The issue of the IPV6 that you can't un install is disturbing. What items show in the list of items under Local Area Connection Properties now? In the list of items under LAC Properties on my desktop are as follows: Client Service for netware Client for Microsoft Newtorks (checked) File & Printer Sharing for MS Networks (checked) QoS Packet Scheduler(checked) NW Link NetBios NW Link IPX/SPX/NetBios Compatible Transport Protocol Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) (checked) Also, why do I see "Media disconnected" for the Ethernet adapter status on Desktop? If it thinks there's no media in the adapter, that might explain why it's not getting an ip address (I don't know how I missed that from the earlier ipconfig either...). I think the reason you are seeing "Media Disconnected" is because I had closed my laptop at that moment. There is a connection on both PCs right now. I'm looking at the back of my desktop and the port where I plug the RJ-45 cable is lit up. So that is my fault because I closed my laptop. I think you need to un install and re install the network adapter drivers (you are running the most current drivers right?). Maybe hardware diagnostics for the drivers (My Computer - Hardware - Device Manager - Network adapters) will give a clue. I uninstalled the network adapter drivers and they reinstalled upon my next start up. Also yes I am running the most current drivers. Still there wasn't any difference and it won't recognize my labtop. My laptop won't even display the desktop either. Oh well if this can't be resolved its ok I'll just back my files I need unto DVD-R's. Because I planned on running a clean sweep on my desktop because it has been screwy as of the last few months.

Adam Adam, Before you do a clean sweep on your desktop, you might try cleaning up the network configuration (Local Area Connection Properties). You DO NOT need NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS, unless you have some archaic application on your LAN that needs it. Please un install everything but: Client for Microsoft Networks File and Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks QoS Packet Scheduler (optional) Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Having multiple, redundant protocols will indeed make your computer screwy. Once this is done, let's try and figure out what your real problem is. -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |

Adam Adam, Please provide updated ipconfig information for each computer. Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!, copy and paste entire contents into your next post. Identify operating system (by name, version, and SP level) with each ipconfig listing. The Microsoft Browstat program will show us what browsers 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. Just unzip the downloaded file, copy browstat.exe to any folder in the Path, and run it from a command window, by "browstat status". Make sure all computers give the same result. For more information about the browser subsystem (very intricate), see: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188001 http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188305 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winntas/deploy/prodspecs/ntbrowse.mspx Please provide browstat information for each computer. Start - Run - "cmd". Type "browstat status c:\browstat.txt" into the command window - Open c:\browstat.txt in Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!, copy and paste into your next post. -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |

Tip #2 Carey "Adam" wrote in message ... I am trying to network my desktop and my notebook computer together using a RJ-45 crossover cable. Now I connected the computers together and it detects a it. You see on my notebook the Local Area connection status says it is connected. Meanwhile on my lovely desktop the status reads "Limited or no connectivity". I ran through the Networking Wizard and it seemed to work on both but it won't detect another computer in the Network Connections menu on either one of them. Does anyone know anything that can help me. All I want to do is transfer files to my notebook so I have a backup copy of them. |
