Hello,

192.168.0.1 - 5.
B)I have two more systems in another lan with hub.Ip address ranging
from 192.168.0.1 - 2.
I have 2 NIC's in 192.168.0.1 in Lan A.The Ip address of the other NIC
is 172.17.6.43
I have 2 NIC's in 192.168.0.1 in Lan B.The Ip address of the other NIC
is 172.17.5.50

I can ping 172.17.5.50 from 172.17.6.43 but cannot access or share files.

How can i share files between these two systems ?

Need Help

How have you tried this access?
net use * \\172.17.5.50\sharename

Do you have a domain? Are you authenticated at the resource?

Are 172.17.5.50 and 172.17.6.43 on the same hub? Or do you have static
routes?

Can you resolve names? Do you have (Dynamic) DNS and/or WINS servers?

Hello,

Yes I tried net use * \\172.17.5.50\sharename
it Says network name cannot be found.

No we dont have a domain.We are not authenticated.There is a gateway and DNS
server 172.17.0.1
yes 172.17.5.50 and 172.17.6.43 are on the same hub.

That implies that the ShareName (whatever you used) does not exist.

Go to the "Server" and type "Net Share" (from an open command line) or use
"Computer Manager Shared Folders" to view your choices.

You actually must have something shared before you can use it.

With no Domain you will need to authenticate:

net use * \\172.17.5.50\sharename * /user:ServerName\UserName
