Hi!
I have a small LAN at home, for the moment 3 PC's and one "LAN-disk".
They has worked just fine, but I have problem getting my new PC to see
the other PC's or the LAN-disk.
Config:
PC 1, ip: 10.123.123.11
PC 2, (the new) ip: 10.123.123.1
PC 3, (my wifes) ip: 10.123.123.5
LAN-disk, ip: 10.123.123.6
ADSL-router, ip: 10.123.123.222
Netmask at all of the above: 255.255.255.0
I don't have NetBEUI at at least PC 1 or PC 2. No WINS server at
anyone. No DHCP (all ip addresses are "fixed").
I can ping everyone from anyone (Including PC 2). All have groupname
"GROUP1".
***But PC 2 cannot see anyone or their shares.***
The other PC's can see PC 2 and it's shares (for the moment only the
printershare - although I haven't any printer defined for PC 2).
I have checked the firewalls and their logs. Nothing is blocked.
So I'm wondering 2 things:
1. What is my problem ?
2. What is the requisites for a working LAN ? (I e sharing disks and
printers etc.)
I thought that it should work if they have a common netmask/ipaddresses
and the same groupname. And without any WINS server or DHCP etc.
(As it worked before the new PC - and still work as the other PC's and
the LAN-disk can see each other and also the new PC 2.)
TIA

I think Pegasus missed the results of your earlier pinging tests,
Have you set up a user name and password on the new machine that matches
a
username and password on the others? That sometimes helps - make sure the
password at least is in the same case, the username probably won't
matter.
It is very easy to think you have done this and make a stupid typo...
I've
chased a few of those in my time.
(Yes, the pings works OK.)
About the username and password: I'm not sure I follow You here. Are
You thinking of a username existing on the PC regardless if it is
currently logged on (the PC/shares that I try to access), or do You
mean the one that IS currently active ?
Normally I get a prompt the first time I access another share/PC for a
username and password (and then I give those - and they also exist at
the other PC of course). And in these cases I can see the shares
beforehand (= see the names of them, not read the directories etc.).
(The username I used was not the one that was logged on, and it
worked.)
I see now that if forgot to mention that if I add NetBEUI to
network/adapter at the new PC, then I can see the other shares. But as
I have got this (the network access in the LAN) working before without
NetBEUI I rather don't want to use it.
I mean a user name acceptable to the other PCs, not necessarily the one that
is logged in on any of them. It seems like it avoids certain glitches with
windows integral authentication. However I think you should check your
network settings to see if that machine is using NetBIOS over TCP/IP... see
if changing the setting there works. It is in the "WINS" tab of the
properties. Default usually works but maybe positively switching it on will
make a difference.
