Take the following code (everything inside the "#####"). (Please verify computer names and ip addresses). Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is keyed, and Paste (Ctrl-V) into Notepad. Verify, and correct, names and addresses if necessary. Save the Notepad file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root folder "C:\". Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag". Wait patiently. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.

With superfluous protocols, your network can get a little flaky - for instance, name to address resolution might use any protocol in any order. If the browser uses multiple protocols, things could get weird too. Let's enumerate your problems. Did you copy browstat.exe onto your computers? Is it in a path folder? Please do that, then proceed. Take the following code (everything inside the "#####"). (Please verify computer names and ip addresses). Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is keyed, and Paste (Ctrl-V) into Notepad. Verify, and correct, names and addresses if necessary. Save the Notepad file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root folder "C:\". Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag". Wait patiently. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.

Cannot see 1 of 3 computers
OK, Chuck -- thanks again for the help and analysis. Let me respond to some
of your questions: 1) Just a couple of minutes before I read your post, I sent off a Firewall question to the D-Link tech support guys. I don't understand their firewall setup -- don't even know how it is working -- and don't know why it would single out computer A on the home net. It has occured to me that this looks like some sort of firewall problem -- that's how firealls are supposed to work, isn't it. As far as the Windows XP Firewall is concerned, File and Printer Sharing, Remote Assistance, and UPnP Framework(?) is enabled on Computer A (Ron), and the same on Computer C (claudette) -- Zone Alarm running on Computer B (Pavilion). I haven't done anything exotic, anywhere, because things are starting to get complicated -- so I pretty much go with default settings whenever possible. I have done Registry things, several years ago. I will look into the things you have suggested, carefully. As this is a new computer, as of December, 2004, I wouldn't think too much is screwed up yet. 2) Yeah, dropped packets, I didn't want to throw that into the situation. I have been having that problem since Nov, 2003 -- when I purchased the laptop for my wife -- and set up a 2 computer network. It is beyond annoying -- she pretty much does't use it much except for email. It hangs up when surfing the Internet (i.e. screen updates just stop, and recover much later after timeouts, I think -- maybe because of packet drops?). The most annoying things is the email operation. The system does not seem to have problems receiving email, but when sending email, we get lots of Server timed out errors. I have had to re-send the email as many as 20 (yeah, 20) times before it will go out -- beyond frustrating. The laptop has the Centrino chip set in it -- can that stuff be updated. As far as the email problem is concerned, it has gotten better ever since last week when I rearranged my computer area -- moving my newer computer onto my main table and relocating the older computer to another table a few feet away. Ever since I have had the router, it has been positioned right next to a 23" CRT monitor -- whereas it is now behind my 17" LCD monitor and the 23" monitor on its way to good will, once I get all of my files transferred off of it. I am now wondering if the large CRT was affecting the wireless transmissions. Sometimes I wonder how the laptop is even working when it seems to be dropping probably 50% of the pings. 3) Regarding the laptop, I don't need any of the TCP stuff I mentioned in my previous note -- at least as far as I know of -- it is not used on any other networks -- I don't even know what that other stuff is. As I said, I don't start changing default things because I generally don't know what I am changing. However, as I said, I am not doing anything exotic (just using laptop in my home for wireless access and non-Internet stand-alone use) -- so if I don't need it, I am more than willing to delete it. As far as you know, should I go ahead and uninstall the Network Monitor and the other 2 NW Link middle-ware programs. OK, sorry for the long response. I will look into the Registry things you suggested and get back to you -- but hope I don't have to change anything. As I said, I have only been using this system for a few months, so don't know what I could have done to mess it up. -- Ron "Chuck" wrote: On Wed, 2 Mar 2005 21:11:02 -0800, Ron Smith wrote: cdiags coming below: SNIP Ron, Very interesting results. 1) Both Pavilion and Claudette see Ron as the master browser (for Claudette, in NBT only).

Remember WinXP is NT V5.1, and Win2K is NT V5.0. Have you used the Registry Editor before? If not, it's a scary tool, but it's pretty simple once you get used to it. Here are a couple articles that might help: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/using/productdoc/en/default.asp?url=/windowsxp/home/using/productdoc/en/tools_regeditors.asp http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/registry Just remember to backup the key (create a registry patch) for [HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa] before making any changes, if appropriate. From the Annoyances article: You can create a Registry patch by opening the Registry Editor, selecting a branch, and choosing Export from the File menu. Then, specify a filename, and press OK. You can then view the Registry patch file by opening it in Notepad (right-click on it and select Edit). Again, just double-click on a Registry patch file (or use Import in the Registry Editor's File menu) to apply it to the registry. Issue 2 - dropped packets between Ron / Pavilion and Claudette - is a network (probably wireless) issue. Have you loaded the most up to date drivers for the wireless card? Issue 3 - Claudette is running a browser. You need to either un install IPX/SPX, or Stop then Disable the browser service on Claudette, or both. If you're going to have 2 computers running a browser (recommended for a 3 computer LAN), then Pavilion should be the backup, not Claudette. Do you really need IPX / SPX on Claudette? What other network is it used on? -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. My email is AT DOT actual address pchuck sonic net.

wrote: OK, Chuck -- thanks again for the help and analysis. Let me respond to some of your questions: 1) Just a couple of minutes before I read your post, I sent off a Firewall question to the D-Link tech support guys. I don't understand their firewall setup -- don't even know how it is working -- and don't know why it would single out computer A on the home net. It has occured to me that this looks like some sort of firewall problem -- that's how firealls are supposed to work, isn't it. As far as the Windows XP Firewall is concerned, File and Printer Sharing, Remote Assistance, and UPnP Framework(?) is enabled on Computer A (Ron), and the same on Computer C (claudette) -- Zone Alarm running on Computer B (Pavilion). I haven't done anything exotic, anywhere, because things are starting to get complicated -- so I pretty much go with default settings whenever possible. I have done Registry things, several years ago. I will look into the things you have suggested, carefully. As this is a new computer, as of December, 2004, I wouldn't think too much is screwed up yet. 2) Yeah, dropped packets, I didn't want to throw that into the situation. I have been having that problem since Nov, 2003 -- when I purchased the laptop for my wife -- and set up a 2 computer network. It is beyond annoying -- she pretty much does't use it much except for email. It hangs up when surfing the Internet (i.e. screen updates just stop, and recover much later after timeouts, I think -- maybe because of packet drops?). The most annoying things is the email operation. The system does not seem to have problems receiving email, but when sending email, we get lots of Server timed out errors. I have had to re-send the email as many as 20 (yeah, 20) times before it will go out -- beyond frustrating. The laptop has the Centrino chip set in it -- can that stuff be updated. As far as the email problem is concerned, it has gotten better ever since last week when I rearranged my computer area -- moving my newer computer onto my main table and relocating the older computer to another table a few feet away. Ever since I have had the router, it has been positioned right next to a 23" CRT monitor -- whereas it is now behind my 17" LCD monitor and the 23" monitor on its way to good will, once I get all of my files transferred off of it. I am now wondering if the large CRT was affecting the wireless transmissions. Sometimes I wonder how the laptop is even working when it seems to be dropping probably 50% of the pings. 3) Regarding the laptop, I don't need any of the TCP stuff I mentioned in my previous note -- at least as far as I know of -- it is not used on any other networks -- I don't even know what that other stuff is. As I said, I don't start changing default things because I generally don't know what I am changing. However, as I said, I am not doing anything exotic (just using laptop in my home for wireless access and non-Internet stand-alone use) -- so if I don't need it, I am more than willing to delete it. As far as you know, should I go ahead and uninstall the Network Monitor and the other 2 NW Link middle-ware programs. OK, sorry for the long response. I will look into the Registry things you suggested and get back to you -- but hope I don't have to change anything. As I said, I have only been using this system for a few months, so don't know what I could have done to mess it up. Ron, It is a pleasure to read a post here with detail and coherence. No problems about its length. And what you said was well said. 1) I think you have a common misconception about routers and firewalls. The firewall (if it has one, and not all NAT router do) on a NAT router is between the WAN (Internet) and LAN (your computers). There is no firewall between your computers themselves, that's a part of the router. Your computers are interconnected thru a switch, which provides no filtering. What model D-Link is it? Pray that the registry setting is the problem. With every thing working on your LAN, save the 3 minor issues I identified, there's not going to be too many things to look for. If you're absolutely sure that there's no firewalls. What AntiVirus or other security package do you have? 2) You have a wireless problem for sure. Since you have a D-Link router (WAP) talking to an Intel client, lots of luck getting D-Link or Intel to fix it. It's quite possible the monitor is part of the problem. Also any microwave oven, or cordless phone, could be a problem. How far is the router to the laptop typically? Any walls involved? A 1 foot wall causes way more than 1 foot of air, in signal degradation. Try another channel on the router - if on channel 1, move to 11. If on 11, move to 1. If on 6, move to 1 or 11 then the other. See if the signal improves. Also check the antenna direction, and elevation, for the router and laptop. Both antennas pointed vertically, and at the same height from the floor, is best. The closer the two are placed, with different elevation or antenna orientation, the better chance for signal loss. For more wireless help, try newsgroups alt.internet.wireless and microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless. Also, the DSLReports Forums for D-Link and for Wireless Networking could be very helpful - there is a lot of expert presence there. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/dlink http://www.dslreports.com/forum/wlan http://www.dslreports.com/forum/wsecurity (this one for the long term) 3) Neither IPX/SPX/NetBEUI, nor the Network Monitor, should be necessary for your LAN. Just un install each (then reboot). You only need the following items in the list under Local Area Connection Properties: Client for Microsoft Networks File and Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks QoS Packet Scheduler (optional) Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Then, make sure that NetBIOS Over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers. Local Area Connection - Properties - TCP/IP - Properties - Advanced - WINS - Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. If the laptop is typically used in the same room with the router, I'd sooner clean up its network components stack than play with antennas / interference sources. But do check with Intel / laptop vendor / D-Link for newer drivers / firmware. -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Chuck-
1) OK, I understand what you are saying about the D-Link router. It is a DI-514 -- a pretty cheap router I picked up when we got my wife's laptop last Thanksgiving, 2003. And yes, good luck in getting anyone to spend any time on my problem. The D-Link people regularly blow me off, 3 or 4 times in the last year when I have tried to get the email send problem (20 times to send an email) resolved. I don't have a cordless phone and there is probably not a microwave issue. The problem is pretty much the same whether the laptop is located in another room or in the same room, approx. 6' from the router (no detactable difference). Also, the operation has been the same in another house (moved in May) -- so there has been no change in the wireless operation since I got the router, Nov, 2003. So now I have a new computer and a new house in the mix -- not much else to look at -- except the Router itself and the laptop. Which brings me to mention that I have been thinking about switching to another router -- they're not too expensive. Do you know about these things or have an opinion or experience with any of them -- I was wondering about the Linksys routers. I have the Semantec Norton 2004 90-day freebie Antivirus running on my new Computer A (Ron) -- the stuff that comes installed on a new computer. Actually, the update subscription expired last week (24th) -- and I am thinking I will probably move to the Norton Antivirus 2005, or possibly the Internet Security package which is their Antivirus packaged with their firewall. I suppose if I do that, I need to disable the Windows Firewall -- is that right -- any thoughts or recommendations. And as mentioned earlier, Windows Firewall is also running on Computer A (Ron). Freebies AVG Antivirus and Zone Alarm Firewall running on Computer B (pavilion) and only Windows Firewall running on the laptop, Computer C (claudette) -- plan on putting Antivirus software on that machine also, probably the same as I get for Computer A. 2) Regarding router comments -- I don't know how to change channels on the router. I don't see any switches on the router. Is that the channel 6 I see in the default router configuration software or is it something else -- which would mean I also have to change something else on the computer, doesn't it. As I mentioned earlier, my laptop is often located 6'-7' from the router. I think performance has improved since I moved my big CRT monitor, but it is still sparatic based on the ping statistics. (I just turned the CRT monitor off and tried the ping test -- no noticable change -- still fails approx. 50% of the time.) I'll look into the other forums you referenced -- thanks. 3) OK, I have uninstalled the IPX/SPX/NetBEUI and Network Monitor stuff. Ping responses didn't improve -- still failing roughly 50% of the time. One thing you mentioned is the "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" setting. None of the computers have that option enabled. Als systems have the "Default: Use NetBIOS settings from the DHCP server. If static . . . . . " 4) And finally, there was't any restrictanonymous entry in the Lsa area of the Registry -- should there have been. -- Ron "Chuck" wrote: On Thu, 3 Mar 2005 09:27:08 -0800, Ron Smith wrote: OK, Chuck -- thanks again for the help and analysis.

As in previous post, I am running Semantec Norton 2004 Antivirus with Windows Firewall. There are no entries in the lmhosts.sam file.

" 4) And finally, there was't any restrictanonymous entry in the Lsa area of the Registry -- should there have been. Ron, 1) The DI-514 does have a small bit of firewall, but as I mentioned above, it applies to the WAN only. No firewall in the LAN, so no chance that your problem is there. I use Linksys myself, and have no problem to report with them in general. Asides that is, for the fact that my BEFSX41 turned into a brick when I tried to upgrade the firmware last week.  Dunno whose fault that was, but it's dead.(I have no idea whether the D-Link itself is responsible for your packet loss problem, nor whether a new Linksys will improve, but, as you say, they're cheap enough. And having a surplus (spare) router is never a bad idea, especially if you're like me and like to do firmware upgrades. The nice thing about Linksys is that the router log (intrusion detection) is probably more complete than most NAT routers. You can get free WallWatcher software to monitor traffic in and out of your LAN. Knowledge is one of the essential layers in a layered security policy IMHO, and WallWatcher will provide you pretty good knowledge about your LAN - WAN traffic. http://www.wallwatcher.com/ I asked about your AntiVirus with the hopes that you, like more than one previous poster in this forum, you'd turn out to have Norton Internet Security package, which includes Norton Personal Firewall. My experience with network issues like yours are causes like: - Physical: No network / inconsistent network - disconnected or bad cable. Or bad wireless connection. - Logical: Bad firewall. - Security: Setting like LSA: restrictanonymous. 2) You change the router channel from the router management screen, accessible thru your browser. Looking at the manual for the DI-514, this is probably :http://192.168.0.1". 3) The "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" setting, if universally set to Default, is probably OK. But try changing them all to "Enable", just in case Ron is using SMB instead of NBT. I'm not done here yet, we've checked the most common solutions. I'll think a bit more, and see what else might be going wrong. Are you still getting "The network path was not found" when your Run "\\Ron"? That's at interesting odds with the CDiag for both Pavilion and Claudette: "net view Ron" Shared resources at Ron Ron's Computer - 11/26/04 - 1G Mem, 200G HD - $979.00 Share name Type Used as Comment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple IIe Disk EPSONSty Print EPSON Stylus Photo RX600 HP LaserJet 2100 PCL6 Print HP LaserJet 2100 PCL6 HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS Print HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS SharedDocs Disk The command completed successfully. Are all 3 computers in the same workgroup? What version - XP Home or Pro - on each? 4) An LSA: restrictanonymous = "1" or "2" would have been a good candidate for problem cause, a non-existent value is probably the same as a "0".

Chuck,
With all my checks and changes, the network seems to kind of drift in and out of operation -- but always in response to something I have done -- but always recoverable. Possible when I was getting Path not Found, it was one of the times when the network wasn't really quite working. But now, \\ron seems to be running on both computers B & C. It takes a while for the screen to come up, but a window pops up with "Ron's Computer -- 11/26/04 - 1GMem, 200G HD - $979.00 (ron)" in the Blue Window Frame at the top of the window. (This is the Computer description in Ron, except for the (ron) at the end.) Also, I didn't notice this before because the window pops up with the verbage on the left side of the screen, but when I click on the folders, and see the folders breakdown on the left, I see the Ron computer under the Network Places\....\Mshome\, (with the name above) along with claudette and pavilion. Also, under the computer name, I see an Apple IIe folder (an emulator - my son's work), a Shared Docs folder and a Printers and Faxes icon. That seems correct, as I marked the Apple IIe as shared, since I knew it didn't exist on the other computers and it would therefore help me to know I was looking at the Ron computer. This should be an important clue, shouldn't it. -- Ron "Chuck" wrote: On Thu, 3 Mar 2005 12:11:04 -0800, Ron Smith wrote: Chuck- 1) OK, I understand what you are saying about the D-Link router. It is a DI-514 -- a pretty cheap router I picked up when we got my wife's laptop last Thanksgiving, 2003. And yes, good luck in getting anyone to spend any time on my problem. The D-Link people regularly blow me off, 3 or 4 times in the last year when I have tried to get the email send problem (20 times to send an email) resolved. I don't have a cordless phone and there is probably not a microwave issue. The problem is pretty much the same whether the laptop is located in another room or in the same room, approx. 6' from the router (no detactable difference). Also, the operation has been the same in another house (moved in May) -- so there has been no change in the wireless operation since I got the router, Nov, 2003. So now I have a new computer and a new house in the mix -- not much else to look at -- except the Router itself and the laptop. Which brings me to mention that I have been thinking about switching to another router -- they're not too expensive. Do you know about these things or have an opinion or experience with any of them -- I was wondering about the Linksys routers. I have the Semantec Norton 2004 90-day freebie Antivirus running on my new Computer A (Ron) -- the stuff that comes installed on a new computer. Actually, the update subscription expired last week (24th) -- and I am thinking I will probably move to the Norton Antivirus 2005, or possibly the Internet Security package which is their Antivirus packaged with their firewall. I suppose if I do that, I need to disable the Windows Firewall -- is that right -- any thoughts or recommendations. And as mentioned earlier, Windows Firewall is also running on Computer A (Ron). Freebies AVG Antivirus and Zone Alarm Firewall running on Computer B (pavilion) and only Windows Firewall running on the laptop, Computer C (claudette) -- plan on putting Antivirus software on that machine also, probably the same as I get for Computer A. 2) Regarding router comments -- I don't know how to change channels on the router. I don't see any switches on the router. Is that the channel 6 I see in the default router configuration software or is it something else -- which would mean I also have to change something else on the computer, doesn't it. As I mentioned earlier, my laptop is often located 6'-7' from the router. I think performance has improved since I moved my big CRT monitor, but it is still sparatic based on the ping statistics. (I just turned the CRT monitor off and tried the ping test -- no noticable change -- still fails approx. 50% of the time.) I'll look into the other forums you referenced -- thanks. 3) OK, I have uninstalled the IPX/SPX/NetBEUI and Network Monitor stuff. Ping responses didn't improve -- still failing roughly 50% of the time. One thing you mentioned is the "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" setting. None of the computers have that option enabled. Als systems have the "Default: Use NetBIOS settings from the DHCP server. If static . . . . . " 4) And finally, there was't any restrictanonymous entry in the Lsa area of the Registry -- should there have been. Ron, 1) The DI-514 does have a small bit of firewall, but as I mentioned above, it applies to the WAN only. No firewall in the LAN, so no chance that your problem is there. I use Linksys myself, and have no problem to report with them in general. Asides that is, for the fact that my BEFSX41 turned into a brick when I tried to upgrade the firmware last week. Dunno whose fault that was, but it's dead.(I have no idea whether the D-Link itself is responsible for your packet loss problem, nor whether a new Linksys will improve, but, as you say, they're cheap enough. And having a surplus (spare) router is never a bad idea, especially if you're like me and like to do firmware upgrades. The nice thing about Linksys is that the router log (intrusion detection) is probably more complete than most NAT routers. You can get free WallWatcher software to monitor traffic in and out of your LAN. Knowledge is one of the essential layers in a layered security policy IMHO, and WallWatcher will provide you pretty good knowledge about your LAN - WAN traffic. http://www.wallwatcher.com/ I asked about your AntiVirus with the hopes that you, like more than one previous poster in this forum, you'd turn out to have Norton Internet Security package, which includes Norton Personal Firewall. My experience with network issues like yours are causes like: - Physical: No network / inconsistent network - disconnected or bad cable. Or bad wireless connection. - Logical: Bad firewall. - Security: Setting like LSA: restrictanonymous. 2) You change the router channel from the router management screen, accessible thru your browser. Looking at the manual for the DI-514, this is probably :http://192.168.0.1". 3) The "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" setting, if universally set to Default, is probably OK. But try changing them all to "Enable", just in case Ron is using SMB instead of NBT. I'm not done here yet, we've checked the most common solutions. I'll think a bit more, and see what else might be going wrong. Are you still getting "The network path was not found" when your Run "\\Ron"? That's at interesting odds with the CDiag for both Pavilion and Claudette: "net view Ron" Shared resources at Ron Ron's Computer - 11/26/04 - 1G Mem, 200G HD - $979.00 Share name Type Used as Comment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple IIe Disk EPSONSty Print EPSON Stylus Photo RX600 HP LaserJet 2100 PCL6 Print HP LaserJet 2100 PCL6 HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS Print HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS SharedDocs Disk The command completed successfully. Are all 3 computers in the same workgroup? What version - XP Home or Pro - on each? 4) An LSA: restrictanonymous = "1" or "2" would have been a good candidate for problem cause, a non-existent value is probably the same as a "0". Oh well. -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. My email is AT DOT actual address pchuck sonic net.

This should be an important clue, shouldn't it. Ron, So the current symptom is simply that Ron doesn't show up in Network Places, until you manually do "\\Ron", at which time it opens up in the pop-up window, then mysteriously shows up in Network Places? How long can you see Ron in Network Places after that? When does this stop working? If you do this from Pavilion, how about you check Network Places on Claudette, and see what shows? Vice versa? Let's look at browstat information for each computer, again. Start - Run - "cmd". Type "browstat status c:\browstat.txt" into the command window - Open Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!, Open c:\browstat.txt, copy and paste into your next post. -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
