One-way connection: networked XP/2000 PC's
Well, I've been at this for nearly 12 hours now and have exhausted every
avenue I can think of. I'm hoping someone's seen this before! I am trying to set up a home network with 2 PC's: #1 - Windows XP Pro SP2 - this one's been around for a while, and it's currently running Norton Internet Security / NAV #2 - Windows 2000 Pro SP2 - new to me, clean installation 1 week ago, currently running ZoneAlarm I started on #1 (XP) and set up a workgroup ("HOME") and named the computer "CHERYL". I set up sharing for 3 printers and the "Shared Documents" folder on this computer. Visibility/security set to "Everyone". I went to #2 (2000) and named it "HOME01" and tried to connect to workgroup "HOME"... so far, so good. My Network Places -> Computers Near Me -> Cheryl -> when prompted for my username/password I was able to log in. I can see files on #1, edit them, drop new files in the shared directory, etc. But here's where my luck turned bad...I shared a folder on the 2000 machine (I've tried every sharing combination I can think of... Everyone, Guest, the default username/password on the other PC) and shared a printer as well. I went back to #1 (XP) and go to My Network Places -> View Workgroup Computers -> nothing happens. Here's a list of the things I've tried (plus more, but this is all I remember at this point!) + Search #1 for "computers" by name or IP, and it can't find #2. + ping #2 from #1 and #1 from #2 by name and IP -> both work fine + #1: net view -> I can see both computers as \\CHERYL and \\HOME01 + #1: net view \\HOME01 -- I can see the contents fine: C:\ . . . >net view \\HOME01\ .. . . hp_shared_printer Print SharedDocs Disk The command completed successfully. + #1: But if I try to actually connect to one of these, I get the dreaded error 53: net use \\HOME01\SharedDocs * Type the password for \\HOME01\SharedDocs: System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found. So I finally got it simplified to the following experiment: #2 - Start - Run - \\CHERYL -> opens up the shared directories on the XP computer just fine #2 - Start - Run - \\HOME01 (its own name) -> opens up its shared directories #1 - Start - Run - \\HOME01 -> error popup: The network path was not found. #1 - Start - Run - \\CHERYL (its own name) -> error popup: The network path was not found. This last part really bothers me... why can't the XP machine even see itself, when the computer across the room can clearly see its shared contents?? + I tried stopping/starting the browser on both machines, to no avail. I uninstalled and re-installed the network connections on the XP machine several times, even switching from my wireless card to a USB LAN connection. I can see the internet from the XP machine and everything appears normal, except it doesn't think there are any networked computers connected to it! I did some more debugging with browstat.exe on both machines. The only unusual thing I ran across was the following error message. From either machine, if I type: browstat stats \\CHERYL then I see the error message in reply: Unable to query browser statistics: 81 Whereas if I simply type browstat stats, I do get a (non-error) response. I can post the complete results if it would be useful. Additionally, on #1 when I go to My Network Places -> Add a Network Place -> Choose Another Network Location -> Browse, I see the following hierarchy: + My Network Places + Entire Network - Microsoft Terminal Services - Web Client Network - My Groups I don't have anything set up in "My Groups". A friend told me that on his PC, he sees an entry for "Microsoft Windows Network" (or similar name) under "Entire Network"? I definitely don't have anything like that... I've tried disabling the two firewall applications and it doesn't appear to make any difference...I didn't uninstall, however. I also spent some time on Chuck's website and tried repairing the LSP/Winsock Layer... I went through 3 of the 6 fixes and hadn't yet found anything. Any ideas? I'm not sure where to look next. This is the first time I've done this and I was optimistic after I got it working one way this morning... but this was not how I'd envisioned spending my *entire* day! - Cheryl (results of ipconfig /all posted at bottom) Computer #1 (XP) ================= Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : CHERYL Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcast IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : gateway.2wire.net Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 4: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : gateway.2wire.net Description . . . . . . . . . . . : 2Wire Gateway USB Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-0D-72-85-EE-D2 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.1.35 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.0.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.0.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.0.1 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Monday, December 12, 2005 10:12:49 PM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Monday, December 12, 2005 11:12:49 PM Computer #2 (2000) ================= Windows 2000 IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : HOME01 Primary DNS Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcast IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : gateway.2wire.net Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : gateway.2wire.net Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet Adapter (10/100) Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-E0-81-00-65-B3 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.1.33 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.0.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.0.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.0.1 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Monday, December 12, 2005 10:03:12 PM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Monday, December 12, 2005 11:03:12 PM

That's not the only possibility, just the most likely. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/mysterious-error-53-aka-name-not-found.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...not-found.html The diagnostics needed is "browstat status", not "browstat stats". Precisely "browstat status", please. And yes, from both computers. Next, let's look at the scope of the problem. 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 both computers, please, with both computers powered up and online. ##### Start CDiag Assembled Code @echo off set FullTarget1=CHERYL 172.16.1.35 set FullTarget2=HOME01 172.16.1.33 set FullTarget3= set FullTarget4= set FullTargets=%FullTarget1% %FullTarget2% %FullTarget3% %FullTarget4% set FullTargets=%FullTargets% 127.0.0.1 set PingTargets=www.yahoo.com 66.94.230.32 172.16.0.1 Set Version=V1.33 @echo CDiagnosis %Version% >c:\cdiag.txt @echo Start diagnosis for %computername% >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo Enumerate Shares >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt net share >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo Adhoc Browser View >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt net view >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo Full Targets %FullTargets% >>c:\cdiag.txt for %%a in (%FullTargets%) do ( @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo Target %%a >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo "%computername% ping %%a" >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt ping %%a >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo "%computername% net view %%a" >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt net view %%a >>c:\cdiag.txt ) @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo Ping Targets %PingTargets% >>c:\cdiag.txt for %%a in (%PingTargets%) do ( @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo Target %%a >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo "%computername% ping %%a" >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt ping %%a >>c:\cdiag.txt ) @echo. >>c:\cdiag.txt @echo End diagnosis for %computername% >>c:\cdiag.txt notepad c:\cdiag.txt :EOF ##### End CDiag Assembled Code -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Thanks for your help!! Here's the info you asked for (plus some additional info... I occasionally got different results with Norton Internet Security disabled vs. enabled, but neither was error-free). Results of browstat status: Computer #1 (XP) ============== This one is giving different results than it was 1-1/2 hours ago... I've done two things in the meantime: (1) Disabling/re-enabling the firewalls on both machines a number of times. (2) I removed the second administrator from the 2000 machine and renamed the default "Administrator" to the name I just deleted and set the password to match. *** 1-1-2/ hours ago *** C:\Program Files\Support Tools>browstat status Status for domain HOME on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{04810707-F0AA-4FFC-AE53 -32BD0FB17C35} Browsing is active on domain.

Do you have Norton Internet Security on both computers? Disabling NIS is a known problem. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...ther-help.html This almost has to be either a personal firewall, or LSP / Winsock, problem. Let's start with NIS. -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
