Networking problem .......... see this...

R

I can ping my LAN connected Laptop but i cannot access the files in explorer .
Plzzz. help .

R

have u u allowed to share the files /folders on the network, it seems ur network is working fine but either u have not shared the folders or u have not created the users with specific sharing rights.

or the firewall is blocking connections

A

Go to start Menu>Run and type services.msc and see if ur Computer Browser service is running. If its not, then enable it n set it to automatic

@ranjan2001 may be right...

R

File Sharing was enabled already
Computer Browser also was enabled prevbiously .......
but still same problem .............

Heh .. Why dont you use
Start > Run > MsTsc {Press Enter}

?
Install IPmessenger on both PCs and send the files to your local computer using Remote desktop .. This is faster than copying the file over lan ..

@rahul

A.
Turn on all the needed services like

1. Internet Connection Sharing and windows firewall

2. Print and file sharing

3. Netbios over tcp/ip

4. Simple file sharing(folder options)

5. All the other corresponding services in services.msc!

B.
Edit regkey from hexadecimal "1" (or wateva) to "0":

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\restrictanonymous.

Hey batty, can u plz illustrate this process a bit ?

If you wanna transfer files between two computers you can use this method.

First download IP Messenger and install it on both the systems.

Now on the system you want to receive files, run Start > Run > MsTsc {Press enter} ( Remote desktop ) and connect to the computer from which you wanna transfer files.

Select the file you wanna send and send it through IP Messenger .. IP Messenger works on UDP so there is no error checking and the file transfer is really very fast ..

Thanx Batty,
Rep added (BTW do u need any

)

R

well , theres no need to add netbios or install any additional software ........... i think the Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) does its job quite fine .
How can u all be so sure that i can access my network with a software even when the OS does not allow it to ?

1)i think u have not confiqured the network connections.... go to accessories... communication ..... network setup wizard..... and follow the instruction to set up a network.....

2) are u able to view ur computer in my networking places->view workgroup computers......if not then check if both of ur connected machine have same workroup ....

R

Try the following
start> run>type the network IP eg: 192.168.XX.X replace the xxx by ur actual IP , now can u share?

I dont know why , but thats what we are trying to figure out here , isnt it ?
Pinging it gives a solid response , no problems .
And i entered the ip but it says no such computer in network ..... !!!
