Hi,
Well, theres the rub - there are (outside of a domain type structure) no
ways to differentiate between where the requests come from, sorry.
What we may be able to gleam from this is where the problem really lies - as
something just isn't doing what its supposed to.
If you now share a folder on the 2nd PC - can you see it okay from the
notebook? Can you NET VIEW \\PC2 ?
Unless there is some filtering configured on SVR1 then your rights shoud be
exactly the same.... to check filtering (on the server) open the properties
of your network card, then select TCP/IP from the list - properties. On here
click advanced, on next window options, then select TCP/IP filtering, click
properties - I would expect to find the Enable TCP/IP filtering etc box NOT
checked, this would mean no filtering configured.
I'm assuming no firewall and no routers between the clients and the server.
Can you supply the IP addresses and Subnet Masks for the systems involved
(you can mail me at MS_SUPPORT# @ #ciscohelp# . com (put together & take out
the #s) and please put MS_SUPPORT in the subject line too - if you don't want
to post the info here. (I get too much spam as it is - so I have to obfuscate
the email address!)
Lets hope we get you sorted out while there still some hair left, eh?
:)
