Can't see other PCs on LAN

[Guest]

I have 2 PCs, 1 is an HP the other is an eMachine. Both are running XP
home - Non SP2. I have a linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router which the HP
is directly connected to. The eMachine is connected via a linksys
wusb11 wireless network adapter.

However, I cannot transfer files between the 2 machines. Both computers
are using DHCP. The emachine's IP address of 192.168.1.102 and the HP's
address is 192.168.1.110. Both computers are in the workgroup WONDERFUL.
Both machines have ZoneAlarm loaded but turned off, both are running
Norton Antivirus Version 7 or 8,but NOT Norton System works. Neither
machine has MS's Internet FireWall running or MS's ICS. Both machines have
Ad-aware 6 and Spybot 1.3 loaded.


Both machines can directly connect to the internet and surf the web,
send and receive email. But either machine can see the other on the LAN.

Yesterday, a friend brought over a laptop with a wireless NIC in it.
He turned it on, and was able to see the HP and transfer files. The
laptop wasn't even in the same workgroup nor a user on either machine.
But the laptop could NOT see the eMachine. None of the 3 machines have
the same user on them. In the past I have created a the same user on the
HP and the eMachine and that didn't seem to help.

I've loaded NETBEUI on both machines. Now under
"My Net Work Places\Entire Network\Microsoft Windows Network\myworkgroup
both machines see themselves, but neither can see the other machine.
I either get nothing or I get the error that "You don't have permissions..."

I've scanned through this forum looking for info and searched the KB and
other places.

Some of the things I've tried:
1. Emailed Linksys for help - nothing received from them helped
2. http://www.careyholzman.com/xp/home/xphome-1.htm

to figure this out.

[Guest]

Sorry about the first post.(newbie). I am having the exact same problem. I
have an HP laptop and 2 desktops running through a netgear wgt624v2 connected
to a Direcway DW6000 through the WAN port. All the PCs can access the
internet and the two desktops can see each other and exchange files. The
laptop cannot see the two desktops but the desktops can see the laptop.
However, if I try to connect to the laptop from the desktop I get an error
message that I do not have permission. This has been going on since last
fall and I cannot figure it out. I have a friend who has the same problem
with a linksys router and a DSL modem with an HP laptop and a desktop. I can
also say that this was happening before I installed SP2. Also, my router is
a wireless and I have the problem when I connect wirelessly to the router but
if I connect via cable, I STILL have the problem.

 

[Guest]

can you ping each other? if yes, what do you receive if using net view \\ip
or \\hostname?

When I ping the HP from the eMachine I get - It resolves the IP to
(192.168.1.110) which is correct, but get message "Request timed out"

When I try \\198.162.1.110 (the IP of the HP) I get - "192.168.1.110 -
Network path not found"

When I try \\youngman (the HP) I get - "192.168.1.110 - network path not
found"


I found a new problem this morning:

a. I can ping my router (192.168.1.1) from the eMachine, but I CAN'T log
into it.
I can STILL get to the internet thought. I CAN log into the router
from the HP.

b. When I look at the DHCP listing on the router, all I see is the HP
(192.168.1.110)

Don't know what's caused this.

I rebooted the eMachine and can now log into the router. The router DHCP
table is now showing IPs for both machines. Don't know what caused that
glitch.

I CAN ping the router now, but can't ping the HP from the eMachine - get a
request timed out error message.

I can't ping the eMachine from the HP either - I get an error 65

John,

From the symptoms which you've provided, I'll guess you have one or more
problems:
- Browser conflict (not Internet Explorer).
- Authentication / authorisation issue between two or more computers.
- Name resolution problem.

If you want to diagnose the problem, provide ipconfig information for each
computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is
NOT checked!, copy and paste entire contents into your next post. Identify
operating system (by name, version, and SP level) with each ipconfig listing.

Also, what firewalls (Windows built-in or third party) do you have now, or were
ever installed?

Chuck,

Don't know about the browser issue. I use both IE and Netscape 7.1 But when
I'm trying to see the other computer I'm using Windows Explorer.

- Authentication / authorisation issue between two or more computers.

That could be. I don't know how to check this. Both machines have a "guest"
account and it's ON. The shared directoreis are set up under the
"properties"
"sharing" tab, to Network sharing and Security - Share this folder on the
newtwork
is checked. Allow network users to change my files is NOT checked.

- Name resolution problem.

Could be, don't know how to check/fix this.

Also, what firewalls (Windows built-in or third party) do you have now, or were
ever installed?

Here's the ipconfig info on the 2 machines:

I have NO firewalls running at this time. The only thing is Norton Antivirus
Ver 7 - I do not have Norton System Works or anything like that.

I've heard that one of the spy ware programs can cause problems. I have
Ad-aware 6 on both machines and Spybot on one.

OK, John. Node Types on both are compatible - Hybrid and Unknown are OK.

Zone Alarm is well known for causing file sharing problems. You should start by
un installing it (not disabling it) per this article:
<http://nh2.nohold.net/noHoldCust25/Prod_1/Articles55646/CompleteUninstallNonNT.html>

Check for a browser conflict between the two computers. I"m not talking about
Internet Explorer here. The browser is the program that allows any computer to
see any other computer on the LAN. On a two computer LAN, having the browser
running on both may cause problems like yours.

Make sure the browser service is running on one computer only. Control Panel -
Administrative Tools - Services. Verify that the Computer Browser, and the
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, services both show with Status = Started. Disable the
browser on the other computer.

After checking / disabling / enabling as above, power all computers off to reset
the browser settings on each. Then power both back on.

The Microsoft Browstat program will show us what browsers (I'm not talking about
Internet Explorer here) you have in your domain / workgroup, at any time.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188305

You can download Browstat from either:
<http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/browstat.zip>
<http://rescomp.stanford.edu/staff/manual/rcc/tools/browstat.zip>

Browstat is very small (40K), and needs no install. Just unzip the downloaded
file, copy browstat.exe to any folder in the Path, and run it from a command
window, by "browstat status". Make sure all computers list the same master
browser.
For more information about the browser subsystem (very intricate), see:

Chuck,



Done!!! - no change


Done. The Browser was running on both. I turned it off on the HP machine.
- no change


DONE!!! - no change


Browstat is very small (40K), and needs no install. Just unzip the downloaded
file, copy browstat.exe to any folder in the Path, and run it from a command
window, by "browstat status". Make sure all computers list the same master
browser.

Running Browstat on the HP which DOES NOT have the browser running:

John,

OK, this is getting better.

To start, you need to eliminate excess protocols from the list of items under
Local Area Connection Properties. You only need the following items in the
list:
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 both computers. Local
Area Connection - Properties - TCP/IP - Properties - Advanced - WINS - Enable
NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

You specifically shouldn't require IPX/SPX or NetBEUI.

Also, the browser requires anonymous access, so look at registry key
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa], value restrictanonymous.
<http://www.microsoft.com/windows200...2000/techinfo/reskit/en-us/regentry/46688.asp>
<http://www.jsifaq.com/subf/tip2600/rh2625.htm>
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=246261
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=296403

The above articles refer to Windows 2000. 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/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.

Once all that's done, let's enumerate your problem. Take the following code
(everything inside the "#####"). (Did I get the names and ip addresses right)?

Highlight then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is keyed, and Paste
(Ctrl-V) into Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked.
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.

Do this from both computers, please, with both computers powered up and online
(connected as best as possible).

OK, this is getting better.

Chuck,

I hope so.

To start, you need to eliminate excess protocols from the list of items under
Local Area Connection Properties....

That's what I had to start with, but couldn't see anything. I'd heard that
you
can install NETBEUI and see the LAN so I tried it.

I've removed NETBEUI from the list. So I now have:

Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Then, make sure that NetBIOS Over TCP/IP is enabled on both computers. Local
Area Connection - Properties - TCP/IP - Properties - Advanced - WINS - Enable
NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

Done !!

You specifically shouldn't require IPX/SPX or NetBEUI.

Also, the browser requires anonymous access, so look at registry key

[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa], value restrictanonymous.

Found that a couple of days ago. restrictanonymous = 0

I also have restrictanonymoussam = 1

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.

Yes. Very familuar with regedit.
://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/registry>


Once all that's done, let's enumerate your problem. Take the following code
(everything inside the "#####"). (Did I get the names and ip addresses
right)?

You had youngman wrong 192.168.1.101 vise 192.168.1.110 but I fixed that.

Highlight then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is keyed, and Paste
(Ctrl-V) into Notepad.....

I did.

While I ran it on johndaddy (the eMachine) I got the following:

first - while it was running the following error was displayed in the DOS
window:

---------

System error 51 has occurred.

Windows cannot find the network path. Verify that the network path is correct
and the destination computer is not busy or turned off. If windows still
cannot
find the network path, contact you network administrator.

System error 53 has occurred

The network path was not found.

Chuck,

I don't see my last post.

I ran the batch file after deleting the NETBEUI etc and the other things.
But I
hadn't rebooted the computer. I've also just turned off NETBEUI from the
HP (youngman). Rebooted it, and will run the batch job on it.

Here's the results from johndaddy (the eMachine) after the reboot:

While the batch file ws running the following error was displayed in the

John,

Please. CDiag is most useful with all cases enumerated.

Error 53 is "name not found". Since your Node Types are OK, you probably still
have a firewall problem.

Let's see what "browstat status" shows with your protocols cleaned up too.

John,

Just run CDiag, as presented above by me, on both computers. It's written to be
complete as coded, and the more computers you run it on, the more diagnostics we
have to work from.

Just a reminder, in case you've forgotten what was in the original post,
I have a linksys wireless router which YOUNGMAN is directly connected to,
and JOHNDADDY (the eMachine) is connected to the router by a linksys

Here you go!!

Chuck,

I want to thank you soooooo much for your help today. Sorry to have trashed
you
entire day.

Don't know where you're located, but I' in VA and it's going on 8pm. It's
about
time for me to wrap things up for the evening and think about getting ready
for
bed. 5AM comes pertty early.

If you come up with anymore ideas, please post them, I'll take a look
tomorrow
when I get home from work, about 4:30 EST. And I'll post back any results.

Again, thank you so very much. I've been fighting this problem for months and
didn't know where to go next.

Look forward to hearing any more ideas from you.

John

Hi John,

I'm in California.

I'm not sure what's going on here. Your original IPConfigs had Youngman with
address 192.168.1.101, yet JohnDaddy is resolving it at 192.168.1.110. When did
it change address?

I think you have either a physical connectivity issue, or a firewall problem.
Since Youngman connects to the router by cable, try another router port, and
another network cable (preferably a known good one). Is ZoneAlarm the only
firewall involved (ever?)? Did you follow all procedures listed by ZoneLabs in
the document?

Try rerunning CDiag, with TWO additional targets, from both computers.
