| 1121878 | 2010-07-24 03:23:00 | i created a share, has correct permissions. i called it TEST, so i went to a run box on a another machine and typed \\mediasvr01\test\ Which should have taken me to the specified share. I have a user account on both pcs with the same name/passowrd. i just get an error telling me it doesnt exist. The XP firewall is disabled, and there is no av or anything. so im trying to figure out what the issue is. On the machine itself connectivity is fine, i can ping routers and such and can do everything, just not incoming. Ive used a linksys USB, a dlink USB and a Netgear USB without success. | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 1121879 | 2010-07-24 03:32:00 | Does it appear on the network? Or if you add it with the network wizard? Do you need permissions? If not, use simple file sharing. Then it might work. Do any of them use passwords to log into them? If you want, I can check it out with teamviewer (the media one and the one you're trying to access the folder from) |

You dont need the same workgroup names to simply ping another object on the network...If you are sure you have correct subnets and IP addressing the issue is probably a firewall either via the router or o/s you are trying to ping. Check & remove any firewalls for testing purposes. |

| 1121883 | 2010-07-27 21:25:00 | okay, sorry for a delay in replies, had a few issues. let me explain the entire situation. im living in a house, where the ADSL wireless modem is downstairs in the lving room, my room is directly above it so i get excellent reception. Im not allowed to make any holes, or but wiring anywhere. i want a server, so i can store my music photos and videos that i have a large collection of. i thought the best way would be to use server 2003, because i can then use a domain and configure permissions, so i have a server, with 1.5gb RAM, a 200GB system drive and a 2TB data drive. Now as ive said i tried wireless, and got it connected to the router, and out to the internet. i could not get any machine anywhere to ping it, or connect to a share, or remote into it. So i came up with the idea of using Analogx proxy, on my laptop, which bridges my wireless and my ethernet, and ran a cable from my desktop to the closet where the server was to go. this is okay, but i notice even though the laptop has manual IPs, it seems to get confused with the IPs and loses them with a excalaimation point (like it cant get a DHCP but i set it to static) Analogx binds to the ethernet and i set a http proxy address on the server, which kinda works (cant do windows updates) problem i have is that im mobile, i like to be in the living room with my laptop, which means i cant stream music, as i have to be tethered..... and i cant figure out where to go from here. Hope that clears it up. |

Hope that clears it up. Server 2003 block ping requests requests by default, so you have to edit ICMP settings to allow ping requests which is why you couldnt ping the server from any o/s. |

| 1121886 | 2010-07-28 00:35:00 | You will then need user accounts and shares on your server.....will would be wise to use a reserved address via DHCP on the router or even static. | SolMiester (139) | ||
