I have an Lenovo Laptop on my work domain. From the laptop I can
browse the entire network. I can access shares, I can connect to
network drives, ect. However, from the domain controller I
cannot access the laptop. I have several shares that I need the
laptop to host. The entire HDD of the laptop is shared to
everyone with read/ write access. I did that out of despiration.
The shares are shared out to everyone with full control.
When I try to access the unc or the ip from the DC it
immediately says the following: Windows cannot find
\\192.168.1.101 Please check the spelling again or try searching
for the item by clicking start and going to search.
I get the same message when I try to go the unc
\\lizlt.domain.local \share. I cannot browse to it, I cannot
search for it. I can ping it, it responds fine. I do have VNC
into it as well, and VNC works fine. As does RDP.
The laptop has the windows firewall service turned off, and
there is no other firewall on there. I have been fighting with
this issue for a long time now, and I have run out of ideas.
The laptop is a lenovo X41 with XP pro SP2. It is on the
network, joined to the domain, in DNS, in IN-add-arpa. I dont
get it. I just dont get it.
It sounds like you are using a wireless NAT Router to connect to
your domain network. A NAT Router will act like a firewall as
far as outside-connections-coming-in is concerned. If this is
the case, you have two choices:
1) Replace the Router with a wireless "Access Point", or
2) Configure the Router such that your computer is in the DMZ
(or alternately forward all ports to your computer). If you do
this, you will have to connect (from outside) using your Router's
IP address, not the one the Router assigns your computer.
HTH,

Thats interesting John. I am running a NAT router..... I should
try to switch it over to a pure AP.
In a pinch, you can sometimes make a NAT router act like an access
point if you do the following:
1) Disable DHCP on the router
2) Change the router's LAN IP address to be in the range (same subnet)
as the network you're connecting to (also being unique)
3) Connect the network cable to the LAN port, leaving the WAN port
empty. (some routers may require a cross-cable for this).
Good Luck,

Im going to install an linksys pure ap that I have laying around. I
will disable the radio on the other, and see if that works.
The router ap is on the same subnet as the rest of the pc's in the
domain. DHCP is also turned off, with the Domain Controller handing
out IP addresses.
