Hi Chuck:
I greatly appreciate your time and expertise. My previous posts to you are
such a mish-mash that I decided to start over (and get with the program).
I have two PC's. One is a ThinkPad X60s laptop running WinXP Pro. The
other is a desktop running Win2k Pro.
ipconfig /all
The desktop is :
Host Name: mark
Primary DNS Suffix:
Node Type: Broadcast
IP routing Enabled: No
WINS Proxy Enabled: No
DHCP Enabled: Yes
IP Address: 10.168.106.53
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway 10.168.106.1
DHCP Server: 10.168.106.1
DNS Servers: 216.104.64.5, 216.104.72.5
==================
The ThinkPad X60s is:
Host Name: MARK-X60S
Primary DNS Suffix:
Node Type: Unknown
IP Routing enabled: No
WINS Proxy Enabled: No
Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix:
Dhcp Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes
IP Address: 10.168.106.51
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway 10.168.106.1
DHCP Server: 10.168.106.1
DNS Servers: 216.104.64.5, 216.104.72.5
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Dhcp Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes
IP Address: 10.168.106.52
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.168.106.1
DHCP Server: 10.168.106.1
DNS Servers: 216.104.64.5, 216.104.72.5
NetBIOS Over TCP is active on both PC's
I've disabled the windows security firewall on the X60s, and the firewall on
the desktop, and as far as I know all firewalls are disabled (temporarily).
The My Network Places on the desktop can see the X60s, but gives an "X60s
not accessible. Network path was not found" when I click on it.
The My Network Places on the X60s sees the desktop PC. And I can access the
shared folders on the desktop PC. Initially the Desktop is not visible -
but then eventually appears.
I can ping the desktop from the X60s, but not visa-versa. Pinging the X60s
from the desktop PC gives me a "Request timed out".
Both machines are peer to peer "WORKGROUP" and each has its own name.
I strongly suspect that the X60s is the culprit because I have a third
desktop PC, and the two desktops communicate correctly. (I have turned off
the third PC to simplify matters.)
All of the shared folders are available to "Everyone" on both machines.
The PC's are cat-5 wired through a DSL router/DHCP server etc.
I can access the Internet, send/receive email on both machines.
Thanks, Mark Flynn
