Robin,
The first thing you need to do is remove IPV6 from both computers. Then try
file sharing again.
If you truly need IPV6 on your computers (are you accessing websites in the IPV6
address space?), get file sharing working first, then reload IPV6.
If file sharing doesn't work after you remove IPV6, then do some diagnostic
work. Define the scope of the problem.
What OS is Nasser and Robin running? XP Home or Pro? SP level?
Are you running both Client for Microsoft Networks, and File and Printer Sharing
for Microsoft Networks (Local Area Connection - Properties), on each computer?
Do you have shares setup on each?
Do any of the computers have a software firewall (ICF / WF, or third party)? If
so, you need to configure them for file sharing, by opening ports TCP 139, 445
and UDP 137, 138, 445, by enabling the File and Printer Sharing exception, and /
or by identifying the other computers as present in the Local (Trusted) zone.
Firewall configurations are a very common cause of (network) browser, and file
sharing, problems.
Make sure the browser service is running on each computer. Control Panel -
Administrative Tools - Services. Verify that the Computer Browser, and the
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, services both show with Status = Started.
>From each computer, test shares visibility (use actual name / address of each
computer as appropriate):
Start - Run then:
1) \\ThisComputerByName
2) \\ThisComputerByIPAddress
3) \\OtherComputerByName
4) \\OtherComputerByIPAddress
Report visibility of shares / exact error displayed in each test (8 tests
total).
Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
