| 236996 | 2004-05-16 11:21:00 | hi all, well things have been going quite well until today. Here's the set up... Laptop connected to Internet: IP 192.168.0.1 - Desktop and Printer:IP 192.168.02. ICS and printing working on both, File sharing access on Laptop from Desktop No sharing on Desktop from Laptop - "Network path not found" Ping from Laptop to Desktop - no ping from D/t to Laptop What is going on...I am completely flummoxed...obviously D/Top is not 'seeing' Laptop!!! But how come everything else works, can somone explain this to me???? Also when one has a problem like this how do you troubleshoot it?? I know its not a physical prob and neither is it a tcp/ip prob ( my thinking here is that i have ICS, so it can't be....but I've been wrong before :)) and from there I am stuck... I'm off to carry on googling..... again!!!! thnx dibbly p.s. Network Saga Pt I is here |

Laptop connected to Internet: IP 192.168.0.1 - Desktop:IP 192.168.02. connected to Printer - as far as I knew the printer is just a part of "the network" > Have you shared your Laptop. yes, I have, everything is showing up in NW places- just when I go to access them i get the error message |

| 237000 | 2004-05-17 04:49:00 | I'm sure you meant 192.168.0.2 not 192.168.02 . :D Not the same. Have you got the Guest user enabled in XP on the laptop? XP is fussier about users than W98. Though ping ought to work anyway. It's not at the OS level -- it's part of TCP/IP. |

| 237001 | 2004-05-17 06:42:00 | Is there a firewall on either machine? That always stumps us networking gurus. ;) | Growly (6) | ||
| 237002 | 2004-05-17 12:33:00 | Yeah that has caught me a couple of times. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 237003 | 2004-05-18 23:01:00 | hi everyone, i'm still stuck here and can't figure why it should "stop sharing" all of a sudden. I can still share from one machine to the other but not the other way round. The one that I cannot share from, can use the other ones internet connection...weird. Both machines firewalled - have tried turning both off to no avail. Any other suggestions??? cheers Donna |
