OK, I disabled IPv6 on the Dell, so heres the updated info. I was able to
see the Gateway in MSHOME from the Dell and Compaq, but got an error when
trying to enter it. From the Gateway, I'm not able to enter MSHOME at all.

Brandon,

OK, that's a good start.
# All computers are on the same subnet 192.168.1.0/24, and getting DHCP settings
from 192.168.1.1.
# All computers have compatible name resolution (Hybrid, Mixed, and Unknown will
work together).
# No computers have any gratuitous protocols.
# Computer Dell, the master browser, can receive datagrams from the other 2
("There are 3 servers in domain MSHOME...").

What Edition (Home / Pro) on each computer?

Let's enumerate your symptoms now. Take the following code (everything inside
the "#####"). (Please verify computer names and ip addresses).


1. Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight
then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is presented, and Paste (Ctrl-V)
into Notepad. Verify, and correct, names and addresses if necessary.
2. Save the Notepad file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root
folder "C:\".
3. Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag".
4. Wait patiently.
5. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and
ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.


Do this from all computers, please, with all computers powered up and online.

Sorry if the Presario Info is hard to read, in sending it over it got a
little garbled up so I tried to fix as much of it as I couldby looking at the
others.

OK, Brandon,

You've got an interesting set of problems. I'll give you the simplest ones to
see, which are symmetrical.
# All 3 computers cannot ping themselves, by name or by IP address, getting name
resolution OK, but timing out.
# However, Dell and Compaq can reference the other in all 4 tests successfully.
# Gateway can Net View itself, but neither Dell or Compaq.
# Dell and Compaq can Net View each other and itself, but neither can Net View
Gateway.
# All 3 computers can Net View both Dell and Compaq; none can Net View Gateway.

The only known causes for pings blocked is a firewall, or LSP / Winsock
corruption.

Please check everything very diligently, and let us know what you find out. I'd
really like to try and correlate the observations from CDiag against precise
causes. And of course having your Windows Networking operational would be good.

Netowork Working (more or less)! I went into Norton Internet Security,
Personal Firewall, and then Advanced Settings and General Rules. What I had
to change was, by default which is really confusing to me, is Windows File
Sharing was BLOCKED. I set this to allow and it works. I am able to get
into mshome now, but I can't see the computers. If I manually type in
"\\Dell" it works. I just now got it working so I'm going to do a restart
and see if that will make the computers show up in the workgroup. I haven't
tested to see if I can get in Compaq yet because its usually off since its so
slow (1.2ghz), but it looks promising!

After a restart, I got everything up and running, including the Presario.
The internet kind of didn't work though, but after another restart, it's
alive and kicking.

But I have another question. In preperation for Xbox 360 launch and some
online Kameo coop, I need to get my current Xbox on Live so I know 360 will
go smoothly. I have to connect the Xbox with a networking cable into
Gateway's ethernet card. For some reason though, when I have the ethernet
card in the 192.168.1.x range that my network is in, the internet doesn't
work. When trying to use the internet, I think it is sending everything
through the ethernet instead of the Wireless PCI.

Is this scenario possible? If so, what settings do I need to have on my
ethernet card and Xbox?

If this doesn't work out, I might be able to buy the wireless adapter for
360, but would prefer to try it with my existing equipment.
