Cannot see computer on network

K

KenV

I realize this sounds like a hundred other posts here, and I have gone
through many of the suggestions given, including those by Chuck on his
website, but I cannot solve the problem.

Here it is, simply (I hope)

XP, SP2, two PCs (A and B), one Mac (C), simple file sharing allowed on
both PCs, sharing enabled for all partitions-drives, guest account enabled,
one router, cable connection

Computer A sees Computer B, has access to all files on Computer B and C.

Computer B sees Computer A at times, but cannot ever see its drives or files
or any
folders, and gives a "you may not have permission" message after searching

Computer C cannot see Computer A at all.

All three have no problems at all with the Internet and every computer can
ping every other computer and itself.

In summary, Computer A is essentially invisible to Computers B and C, but
Computer A sees B and C.

I have unshared then reshared the drives on Computer A, disabled the OneCare
firewall briefly on both PCs, unchecked and reenabled simple file sharing,
looked in the registry under the anaonymous key and it is 0--nothing works.
I've tried repairing the local connection on Computer A and cleared the ARP
cache.


It just doesn't make sense to me.
Any suggestions as to where to go from here would be appreciated.

Jack,

Thank you. I do have Netbeui ready to load, but I'm not sure I want to use
the last resort yet, since there has to be some logical answer to this
problem--it's the principle of the thing.

I went through Chuck's steps again--all of them--and couldn't find an
answer.

Here is the Browstat result, which seems to be OK--the error #5, he says, is
normal. But maybe not.

Ken,

This shows one computer (which one?) which can see 2 computers (not 3), and
recognises KAV-OFFICE as master browser. Not a lot of detail here.

Browstat from one computer is a small picture. It's better to look at "browstat
status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net config workstation",
with each computer clearly labeled, so we can diagnose the problem.

Chuck--thanks very much. Later on tonight or tomorrow I'll run these on both
PCs, A and B, and leave the Mac (C) out of it, and post the results, clearly

Problem:

Computer A always sees Computer B, has access to all files on Computer B

Computer B sees Computer A at times, but cannot ever see Computer A's drives

OK, Ken,

An error 121 is a semaphore timeout. This results from an LSP / Winsock
problem. Be persistent here. Since the problem is seen on KAV-UPSTAIRS, when
it's retrieving information from itself, that's where you should start.

I went through all the steps, and after running Winsock2 repair I was able
to do the Winsock Catalog, and now the Browstat no longer gives the error
121, but it gives an error 5 and some other info. .

No problems pinging the affected computer from itself or from the other
computer.

I can see Computer A from Computer B, but still cannot access the files or
drives on computer A from Computer B. Computer A works fine otherwise,
Internet, Explorer, etc.

Where to now? Do you want another full set of reports? Here are the Browstat

Ken,

OK, that's a much more normal set of browstat logs. Both computers see 2
computers. If you're running Simple File Sharing, then the error 5 is normal.
You don't have administrative access, which browstat requires, to access
Kav-Office from Kav-Upstairs.

Is the Guest account properly enabled, on both computers, for network access?

Chick,

I've gone through everything in the link above, even readjusting the Guest
accounts, unchecking the Group Policy boxes mentioned, etc. Yes, Guest
account is active on both computers.

BTW, I /can/ access KAV-Office from KAV-Upstairs, but /cannot/ access
KAV-Upstairs from KAV-Office. The error message I keep getting in a gray box
witha the HSA workgroup lable in the upper left hand corner, is:

"//KAV-upstairs is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if
you have access permissions. The specified network name is no longer
available."

As mentioned earlier, all the permissions on KAV-Upstairs appear to be
intact, and I have included Guest, Guests, Administator and Administrators,
Everyone, my user name. I'm sure it's redundant, but I have added all these
along the way.

Jack,

Apparently this is a permissions problem of some sort, because the computers
are "seen" by each other, but I can't get one to be able to access the
drives and files of the other.

I have just added Netbeui to each PC, rebooted both, and it doesn't solve
the problem.

Ken,

The message "The specified network name is no longer available." is a name
resolution problem. This is NOT a permissions problem.

Node types Broadcast and Unknown are OK, and use broadcast SMBs. Either NetBT
is not properly Enabled on both computers.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/04/netbios-over-tcpip.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/04/netbios-over-tcpip.html

Or you have a personal firewall problem.

These are all symptoms that you have to rediagnose after you resolved the error
121 (LSP / Winsock problem).

Chuck--

This will have to wait until tomorrow for me to do anything about this, but
I know I have had NetBios enabled on both computers. And I still don't think
it's the firewall--both computers have the same version of OneCare 1.5 and
are configured the same. Yes, I know, it still could be the firewall, and
I'll look at that, too.

One thing that strikes me is that the DNS listed in the ipconfig/all is the
cable Internet ISP's DNS, and clearly those DNS's aren't going to help me
find my network computers, if that is the issue. In your sample results for
the ipconfig /all results, the DNS values were all part of the 192.16.1.xxx
series. If I were to add a router DNS or some other DNS that would know the
name of my computers, what would it be?

Thanks for your patience and for your own persistence on this issue.

it's the firewall--both computers have the same version of OneCare 1.5 and
are configured the same. Yes, I know, it still could be the firewall, and
I'll look at that, too.

One thing that strikes me is that the DNS listed in the ipconfig/all is the
cable Internet ISP's DNS, and clearly those DNS's aren't going to help me
find my network computers, if that is the issue. In your sample results for
the ipconfig /all results, the DNS values were all part of the 192.16.1.xxx
series. If I were to add a router DNS or some other DNS that would know the
name of my computers, what would it be?

Thanks for your patience and for your own persistence on this issue.

Ken,

If your (NAT) router is addressed as a DNS server, it's providing a DNS relay -
it is not an actual server. And it won't provide local name resolution.

DNS is used for local name resolution only if you have an actual local DNS
server. Since you don't have a local DNS server, and since your Node Types are
set to "Broadcast" and "Unknown", you'll use NetBT based broadcast name
resolution.

If you "disable" NetBT (or if it's not "Enabled" by the DHCP server), you can
have SMBs bound directly to IP, and your firewall must pass SMBs directly hosted
(port 445). This will enable the browser (Network Neighbourhood) and actual
share connections to work, but name resolution will require a DNS server.
Without a local DNS server, you MUST have NetBT. And your firewalls must pass
SMBs bound to NetBT (ports 137 - 139).

Chuck,

I'm beginning to think this is not doable.

I've gone through everything, all the NetBios enables, etc., opened up all
the ports on the OneCare Firewall--there are no other firewalls that I can
find, I've stopped, disabled and shut down the Computer Browser service on
both computers, shut down the machines, restarted them separately, left them
both on for an hour.

The problem remains the same. Computer A (KAV-Upstairs) sees everything
including the Internet and Computer B. Computer B (KAV-Office) sometimes
sees itself on the network, never sees Computer A, and always gets the
Internet.

I re-ran the Browstat on each computer:

Well, you installed NetBEUI, and that didn't help. So now, you'll have to
remove NetBEUI, and get back to a baseline configuration, where browstat on each

Chuck,

I have gone through everything again in the tutorial. Pasted below are the
current browstat results.

More info--maybe useful, maybe not:

The Messenger service on Computer A starts but will not stay started. I just
noticed that.

I put my Mac computer in the network. It sees Computer B and can go to
Computer B's files. The Mac can ping but cannot see Computer A at all,
either by name or by IP address. From this I gather that it must be, after
all, only Computer A that is the problem.

I then ran one of these firewall detection sites from Computer A in which
they try to show that your computer is exposed and needs /their/ firewall.
Guess what? They said my computer was nearly invincible. Here is their
report:

--------------------------------------------
Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist!
One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL STEALTH MODE!
Standard Internet behavior requires port connection attempts to be answered
with a success or refusal response. Therefore, only an attempt to connect to
a nonexistent computer results in no response of either kind. But YOUR
computer has DELIBERATELY CHOSEN NOT TO RESPOND (that's very cool!) which
represents advanced computer and port stealthing capabilities. A machine
configured in this fashion is well hardened to Internet NetBIOS attack and
intrusion.

Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.
All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED. (This is
very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to
vulnerabilities from Windows networking, this computer appears to be VERY
SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS networking
protocol over the Internet.
-------------------------------------------

I've looked everywhere for evidence that there is some other firewall on
Computer A left over from Zone Alarm or anything--can't find it. My only
known firewall is OneCare and I've added a ports setting permitting TCP\UDP
inbound and outbound Internet and Intranet 1-2000 ports and also another one
with port 139 (other). No help--probably unrelated to the problem.

Have I, in fact, serendipitously discovered the secret to protecting a
computer against all invaders? If only I knew what that secret was!

Ken,

Those firewall detection sites run from outside your LAN, and you are behind a
NAT router. That site, if I recognise the language, is Steve Gibson aka
GRC.com.
Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist!
One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL STEALTH MODE!
Click to expand...

Steve Gibson is considered by many security experts to be a snake oil salesman.
If you examine his website, you'll see a lot of clever titles, descriptions and
content in general.

What he's detecting is normal for a LAN behind a NAT router.

This is what we had a few days ago.

Chuck,

Yes, I think the Mac was on when I ran the last set of browstat status. It
is on now.
The only other change I've made was to give Computer A a static IP address,
because the router was showing a different IP address for it under the DHCP
Clients than it actually had, and I thought maybe this was causing the
recognition problem, but it wasn't. Hope that didn't mess things up too
much.
