Re: static IP is this the cause??

Hi
As posted above switching all computers to sit on the Internet directly it is a Big Big mistake.
If you use one External Static address to feed your Router you do not need any service and you can differentially log to any computer that is behind the Router from any place in the world using Internet connection.
The trick is to change the active Internet related ports of the private computers.
The latter part of this page demonstrated the general idea you can extrapolate from it to any other application that allow port changing.

Hi All,

I am NOT a network-er, just an user, but know just enough to get in trouble... and here I am..

Material list:
2wire HomePortal 1800HG
2 pc boxes (win xp)
network printer (hp color laserjet 2600dn)
2 other laptops as needed
may be getting a network drive (1-ter from sam's)??


The basic prob is in having 2 (or more) computers (boxes) "see" each other so to access files on one for appointments being made from the other one.... .

- have a "switch" but there is no no difference when all is plugged in to that.. ??? so for grins, leave the switch out for now, or not - depends on your advice......

Here we go....

With the 2-wire doing the automatic IP assignment 'addresses' ... all is good, all is seen and I can change files, move things, run programs, etc....... set shares,,,

I just got "static" IP addressing. (5 addresses).

I got the static addressing so to be able to log in with win-remote, check on and do appointment scheduling... (this works..., can remote log in and work on one computer at a time, but can not see the other computer....) and when at the salon, I can not connect to change things.... If I attempt to "look at" files on the other machine, I get the "not have permission" thing

When I assign the static IP addresses (2-wire modem -4 plug in) the network vanishes (in my network pleaces) and the abity to add/change connections are lost... unless I change the IP's back and map drives/files..... and change again to static...

When the 'static' was set up, the person mentioned that the NetBIOS settings be UN checked (see below if this gets through) I am hesitant to play with these settings under penality of getting invaded....

(outbound and inbound associated traffic) netbios settings

Sorry to be long winded, hope i got all the information to get answers... and THANKS !!!!

Any help / guidance is appreciated.

thanks again,,, - john b

all inbound and outbound settings following.....
