I am going crazy trying to figure this out.
I have two computers one laptop (wireless) & one desktop (directly connected
to Linksys then Motorola cable modem) are using Windows XP Home SP2. I have
had the same issue with two different routers D-Link DI-524 & Linksys WRT54G.
I am currently using the Linksys.
Went through the Network Wizard Setup on both computers and obviously turned
on file sharing.
Both computers can ping each other and access the internet. Windows IP
Config on the desktop has Node Type of Peer-Peer and Hybrid on the laptop.
On the desktop I can see the workgroup MSHOME & can see the Laptop icon but
when I click on it I get the network path was not found error.
When I go to the Laptop, I can't even view the workgroup. I get the message:
Mshome is not acessible. YOu might not have permission to use this network
resource. Contact the administrator of this server to findout if you have
acess permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available.
On the Local Network for the desktop it states that I do have a SharedDocs
on Desktop, but that one is not accessible, the network path was not found.
I can also see the desktop printer on the laptop but cannot print.
Both computers have different computer names and the same workgroup name
MSHOME. Also tried with WORKGROUP as the name, this didn't work.
Completely unecrypted the wireless router. Dropped the WEP security. Dropped
the Windows Firewall on both computers. There is no other third party
firewall installed.
Even hardwiring the computers through the Linksys is giving the same errors.
I also tried creating a user on both computerse named generic with the same
password and then sharing a file on each computer. ALL TO NO AVAIL!!
On the desktop, I tried using Ntrights.exe which is a Win2k3 resource kit
because someone mentioned that this helped. After installation, click on:
Start, All Programs, Windows Resource Kit Tools, Command Shell
Then enter the following commands. (Attention: they are case sensitive.)
net user guest /active:yes
ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
The first command enables network access for Guest, the two subsequent ones
change two different policies to allow network access for Guest.
I'm so frustrated by this...I'm willing to try anything (except a complete
format of course).
Another interesting thing is that I can use remote desktop on the wireless
laptop but not on the desktop?
I would be indebted forever to anyone who could help me out!
