We haven't heard from you since posting our browstat data, although we did
note an apparent reply from you that then disappeared almost immediately
from the server. Could you please repost if that was you? Thanks
Linda,
Isn't Usenet charming? I re posted the reply to your most previous post, which
contains the contextual references to your problem. Here is my last post too
for your convenience.
Yes, it was very interesting.
You need to straighten out your network configuration on both computers.
Please start by un installing unnecessary components, 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)
Make sure you have both Client for Microsoft Networks, and File and Printer
Sharing for Microsoft Networks (Local Area Connection - Properties), on each
computer. And have shares setup on each computer.
Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (Local Area Connection - Properties - TCP/IP -
Properties - Advanced - WINS) on each computer.
Make sure the browser service is running on each computer. Control Panel -
Administrative Tools - Services. Verify that the Computer Browser, and the
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, services both show with Status = Started.
Power both computers off. Then power one on, and then the other. Check
"browstat status" again.
If no improvement, provide ipconfig information for each computer, and we'll do
some more diagnoses to tell us what to look at next.
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.
