Setup looks | like this.... Wireless network with a cheap linksys router giving DHCP | addresses. NO wins server involved. Everyone is getting a 192.168.1.X | address automatically assigned. NO internet access. Pinging box to box | works throughout this whole sinking ship. | | WindowsXP Media Center Edit running as server system. This box has their | accounting program database directory shared with everyone access. This box | also has a HP all-in-one trashcan hooked to it and shared to everyone. | Guest account is enabled on this box. I originally had this machine setup | and moved to the next "winxp home" laptop. Mapped the drive, connected to | the printer, tested everything and proceeded to move to the next pc. As im | hooking up the next box I am told the laptop will not print. Knowing I | already checked this I figure client problem and proceed to check what they | might be doing wrong. Turns out printer will not respond to printing from | the laptop or the xp box its hooked into. I proceed to reboot both boxes | assuming something hiccupped with the network. After everything comes up I | check from the pc serving the printer and printing goes as expected. I then | turn my attention back to the laptop. I proceed to check printing... no go. | Nothing appears to be happening. I go into the "printers-n-faxes" and | remove the printer figuring I will just reinstall the darn thing. I remove | it successfully and proceed to surf to the xp box using the ole internet | explorer \\myserver. It pukes. Ok so next I figure I will go through the | entire network view and get it. I get to where all the computers in the | workgroup show and the "server" shows as expected. I attempt to double | click on it and get thrown a access denied. I figure ok so something | screwed up with the sharing on the "server" so I proceed to check it again. | I tried to un-share re-share, remove/reinstall "file and print sharing" for | the adapter and every other thing I can think of. Next I figure I will try | to map the drive directly. Low and behold this works. I CAN map the drive | successfully using the command prompt "net use X: \\server\dir". | | Can anyone shed some light here? | | Tried: | unshare / share | remove / reinstall "file and print sharing" | made sure guest account enabled | Pinging by name successfully works as expected
