Hello,
I just purchased a router (Microsoft Wired Base Station
MN-100) to setup a home network of 4 computers. I
successfully setup the network and installed the software
on all computers A, B, C & D. However, on the Microsoft
Broadband Utility for B, all the other 3 computers appear
under "Other Network Devices" but B does not appear on A,
C or D (ie for these computers all the others except B
appear).
In My Network Places (Network Neighborhood for Win98) in
B I cannot see any of the computers but in A, C, & D, I
can see all 4 computers. When I doubleclick on A, C or D
in My Network Places, I can see all their shared
resources. However doubleclicking on B gives the
following error message:
"\\B is not accessible.
The computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure
you typed it correctly, and try again."
Please note that the spellings were correct. I have tried
several times but still get the same thing.
Also all 4 computers belong to the same workgroup.
File and print sharing is enabled on B.
I have check all the physical cable connections and
everything is properly connected.
Next I decided to ping the IP addresses of the computers
using the run command to test data transmission.
Pinging A, C, & D from B produced replies (with 0% loss).
However, pinging B from A, C, & D respectively produced
no reply (Request timed out - 100% loss) for all 3 cases.
A, C, & D all received responses from each other's ping.
What could be the problem with my B computer?
PLEASE HELP.
