Hi all,
I have 2 XP computers that I want to network together, one running XP SP2 (called white with IP of 192.168.0.1) and the other XP64 (called blackwith IP of 192.168.0.2) File & print sharing is enabled on both machines On machine White, I can ping Black using both the IP address and the name Using the command "net view black" the shares available are not shown and responds with "System error 53 has occurred" ; "The network path was not found" View Workgroup computers shows White and Black, but the Properties of Black are not available when selected On machine Black, I can ping White using both the IP address and the name Using the command "net view white" the shares available are shown View Workgroup computers shows Black only XP firewall has been disabled on both machines for testing purposes Machine White also has the Norton Firewall install, but this has also been disabled for test purposes Machine White is also used for DSL Internet (but with the Firewall enabled at that time) Enable NetBios over TCP/IP has been checked LMHosts has been set up Browser services are running TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service is running Workgroup is set to HOME on both machines Surely this should be a simple thing to do! Can anyone help me out, I am going mad here! TIA, John. -- |

Have you tried to see if both can see each other first without the DSL
connected first and all firewalls off. I once did what you did and always found the firewall i tried to set to control the modem side had affected communications with the lan side of things as well and sometimes both PCs would not see each other. I first set rules and also had to lower my firewall a notch for the default setting then decided to get a realy cheap router which was wireless and cheaper that most that was being sold and then all my problems were solved. but i got a hunch the firewall your using on the DSL connection is the problem.

Well,
Used the Network Wizard on both machines to reset the network - no difference Internet Sharing was enabled in the Network setup wizard from the XP computer (this one has DSL) All of the firewalls are off for this test purpose, but re-enabled for DSL use (DSL is USB BTW) Still the same results: Ping = OK both with IP and Name net view white = OK on machine Black net view black = System error 53 has occurred; The network path was not found; on machine white On Black, only itself is visible in the workgroup On White, both Black and White are visible in the workgroup, but Black is NOT accessable or network path not found Any more ideas would be appreciated.

Give this a try and then see what happens not sure just a hunch but no
garantees, permentally disable norton firewall or uninstall it, (let see if the manual way might help) Set up the IP manually on both machines Make sure white has no DNS or default gateway set on the network card with black. Put Whites IP 192.168.0.1 in the DNS and Default gateway on blacks network card On the dsl connection set it to share the connection with the network card, that black is connected to In the windows firewall in control panel (for white) under advance tab take the tick out of the network card that is connected to black but leave it ticked for the DSL firewall and then test it "John Wintle" <> wrote in message news:... > Well, > > Used the Network Wizard on both machines to reset the network - no > difference > > Internet Sharing was enabled in the Network setup wizard from the XP > computer (this one has DSL) > > All of the firewalls are off for this test purpose, but re-enabled for DSL > use (DSL is USB BTW) > > Still the same results: > > Ping = OK both with IP and Name > net view white = OK on machine Black > net view black = System error 53 has occurred; The network path was not > found; on machine white > > On Black, only itself is visible in the workgroup > On White, both Black and White are visible in the workgroup, but Black is > NOT accessable or network path not found > > Any more ideas would be appreciated. > > TIA > > John. > > > "DKI" <> wrote in message > news:%239%... >> Have you tried to see if both can see each other first without the DSL >> connected first and all firewalls off.

John, are you, or are you not using a network router, or are you connecting
from computer to computer direct, via cat 5 network cable If your connecting direct....make sure that that cable is a cross-over style cat5 cable , and not a Std network cable Dennis "John Wintle" <> wrote in message news:... > Well, > > Used the Network Wizard on both machines to reset the network - no > difference > > Internet Sharing was enabled in the Network setup wizard from the XP > computer (this one has DSL) > > All of the firewalls are off for this test purpose, but re-enabled for DSL > use (DSL is USB BTW) > > Still the same results: > > Ping = OK both with IP and Name > net view white = OK on machine Black > net view black = System error 53 has occurred; The network path was not > found; on machine white > > On Black, only itself is visible in the workgroup > On White, both Black and White are visible in the workgroup, but Black is > NOT accessable or network path not found > > Any more ideas would be appreciated. > > TIA > > John. > > > "DKI" <> wrote in message > news:%239%... >> Have you tried to see if both can see each other first without the DSL >> connected first and all firewalls off.

Did this setup work for you previously?
Can you do a "Start, Search" for each computer from the other machine? If you're connecting the two directly (no router), without DNS, WINS, etc., that's sometimes what you're stuck with (and then map each to drive letters and select logon automatically with restarts). Can each machine ping itself (Computer_Name), localhost, and 127.0.0.1? Tried different (new, known good) CAT-5 cables? Have you setup shared resources on each system? Just brainstorming without the benefit of sleep... ;~) "John Wintle" <> wrote in message news:... > Well, > > Used the Network Wizard on both machines to reset the network - no > difference > > Internet Sharing was enabled in the Network setup wizard from the XP > computer (this one has DSL) > > All of the firewalls are off for this test purpose, but re-enabled for DSL > use (DSL is USB BTW) > > Still the same results: > > Ping = OK both with IP and Name > net view white = OK on machine Black > net view black = System error 53 has occurred; The network path was not > found; on machine white > > On Black, only itself is visible in the workgroup > On White, both Black and White are visible in the workgroup, but Black is > NOT accessable or network path not found > > Any more ideas would be appreciated. > > TIA > > John. > > > "DKI" <> wrote in message > news:%239%... > > Have you tried to see if both can see each other first without the DSL > > connected first and all firewalls off.

Randy,
In turn: Did not happen previously as Black is a new machine only just purchased. On Black, search for machine White comes up with the machine (YES!) and then can map a drive So if the above works, why does it not show up in the Workgroup? On White, Black is not found when doing a search....... Each computer can ping itself, localhost and 127.0.0.1 result the same with all cables Shared resources are set up on each computer John.

Direct connect just plain sucks...anyway, Spent 20- 45.00, and buy a
router, and you won't have this problem. You can still control access to the web on each machine thru the router settings...
