Re: Cannot access server shares

Yes, you lose your kerberos ticket - it times out and doesn't refresh itself. If you simply logged out and logged back in it should fix it.

I think this is the solution. My habit of hibernating the laptop is to blame. For some reason, following hibernation, the vpn and offline files works but network shares cannot be reached.

I tried setting 'gpedit.msc\wait for network on log on' without luck. A full restart restores all connections every time.

Thanks for your help with this. There is no indication of a network connection problem. All offline files are maintained on the sbs and sync with the laptop without difficulty. The offline file folders are the only folders listed when I query the server shares from the laptop (i.e. command: \\servername).

Both machines have private IPs ...103 for the server and .22 for the laptop. They can ping without any packet loss. A wireless router is used for the 3 machines on the network. SBS is wired to the router.

All client machines are wireless and have Windows firewall running, with partial control by group policy. File and Printer sharing is allowed.

Name Group Policy

File and Printer Sharing Yes (whole line greyed out)

2 different admin accounts cannot access the (non-"offline files") server shares from the laptop. Both log ons are identical to server log ons that work on the SBS.

Of interest, we have a MS Access developer setting up indirect sync and that is how the laptop issue came up again (posted in Nov.). When he attempted to access a new share created on the server, a log on popup appeared (for some reason) and the server admin account was repeatedly rejected. That log on also works from 2 desktops (1 xp and 1 w2k)

The laptop runs:

Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing
QoS Packet scheduler
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

IP address of the SBS server, IP address of the wireless laptop, ping results between the two, etc. This is basic troubleshooting of a network connection. You don't specify how your wireless laptop gets connected. Is there an internal wireless access point? Or a wireless router? Does the wireless connection on the laptop have Client for Microsoft Networks enabled? Does it have Windows Firewall running?

A wireless xp pro laptop cannot access SBS 03 shared folders. They do not appear in the list of server shares when viewed from the laptop. Permissions on the SBS for the shares include the admin user (me). Wired xp pro desktops have no problem.

The SBS uses R&RA and so Windows Firewall cannot be configured there. How can I troubleshoot this?
