365838	2005-06-26 08:15:00	Hey I have got the internet going again on both P.C's but not really by changing anything. It seems that when I start the "other P.C" first that it registers with the net. Is this something to do with the machines automaticly assigning an I.P address? & with that said although they both can access the net, they can't access each other. :waughh:	Ron Bakker (356)

365840	2005-06-26 19:56:00	Yep	Ron Bakker (356)
365841	2005-06-27 09:31:00	they both can access the net, they can't access each other. :waughh: I just remembered how I fixed that problem way back when I was running 2k. I never really found out what the problem was, but I found a workaround that fixed it. Enable your guest account & make sure all the folders & shares you want the other computer to access allow access to guest (I think the default security settings allow access). Run gpedit.msc & look for the entry "anonymous users authenticate as guest" & enable it.	Greven (91)
365842	2005-06-28 08:44:00	I shall try that, thanks	Ron Bakker (356)
365843	2005-07-23 20:44:00	After all that I found that the NetBEUI protocol was not installed which is why the 2 P.C's were not talking to each other. Yes Billy I agree, when something goes wrong, one should not rush to wip out the blame thrower. But every time I have ever reformatted the comp I have done it the same & each time the finished product is always slightly different. Thanks for the help guys	Ron Bakker (356)
