Hi folks... I'm having a devil of a time with this one. I'm trying to
get my office network in full running order, and the main task at hand
is creating shared folders for specific users on one machine (so that
they can drop files over to me easier). The problem is this particular
computer's shares are not visible on the network. I can see everyone
else on the network, and they can see me, but they can't see my shares,
and when I try and browse to this computer from another on the network,
I get that good ol' "Access denied" message. Also, every other computer
on the network has full access to the others except for mine.
Pertinent info:
all computers running XP Home version 2002 SP2
Windows firewalls disabled
Guest account is active
This computer is running Norton Internet Security, but I have the
firewall completely disabled. The others are running McAfee Firewall,
with connections allowed for Windows File Sharing. This seems to me the
culprit, as Norton vs McAfee is the only real difference on these
machines.
I've already gone through everything in this handy page,
http://www.michna.com/kb/wxnet.htm , plus this thread
http://tinyurl.com/gskc4 seemed like it would be very helpful, but I
went through all of these steps and all of Chuck's referenced documents
to no avail.
Here also is my ipconfig /all:
Windows IP Configuration
Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : PrePress
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcast
IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-11-2F-7E-16-4B
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.2
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.0.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.210
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.210
Anyone want to see an ipconfig /all from the other computers? Same
info, except node type on those is hybrid and the IPs are different
(obviously) though of the same flavor (10.0.0.xxx, same subnet).
So, long story short (too late!), how likely does it seem that this
will be Norton? Admittedly I've always felt Norton was a bit too
aggressive with a lot of its computer nannying, so I'm kind of inclined
to jump to that conclusion. If this seems unlikely, just let me know.
And if anyone wants to walk me through some more arcane XP networking
(this would be so much easier for me under 2000, but I guess I had to
learn eventually) to get to the root of this wacky issue, I appreciate
it.
N.B.: I only have access to these computers while I am at work and when
things are quieter in the afternoons (EST), so this might take a few
days to sort out...
Thanks everyone...
