Chuck, Help! File sharing network issuevia ethernet to a switch. The switch is connected to a router. The router connects to my cable modem. All 3 computers can use the internet separately. I can play games on my local network against each computer. The problem is I cannot access the shared folder on 2 of the 3 machines. Each machine can access the same one, but that is the only machine with file sharing access. Also, "My Network Places" has migrated the folders from "Local Network" to "The Internet". I don't know if this migration is linked to my access problem. No machine needs any other machine to be on in order to browse the internet. I've checked the obvious (to me) things and I'm stumped. I've included the outputs from the following programs for each of the three computers: ipconfig /all, browstat status, cpsserv, and net config - both server and workstation. The computers are named "kensgateway", "kidscomputer", and "carolyncomputer". Thank you for taking the time to look through this and help me out! Regards, Ken Program outputs follow: ***************************************** Ipconfig for kensgateway Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : kensgateway Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : hsd1.ct.comcast.net.

Thank you for helping me with this. I've been called out of town, so I'll have to wait a few days before I can do what you suggest. I'll bump this up when I do so. More information: I WAS running Norton's Systemworks 2006 on all 3 machines, but after reading in several places about how that suite seems to cause problems, I used the Norton SRT program to delete it from all machines. (Now running Kaspersky AV.)

I've done as you suggested and disabled the un-needed protocols on carolyncomputer, then I ran browstat on all 3 computers. The outputs from browstat status are included, below, at the end of this message. You wrote that carolyncomputer had 2 extra protocals, IPX/SPX and NetBEUI. I only found, and uninstalled NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBios. There was another NWLink IPX/SPX listed, but the uninstall option for that was greyed out. After I uninstalled the NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBios, the OTHER NWLink was no longer listed. Additionally, following the links on your (excellent!) PChuck website, I dug into my NetBIOS settings. All 3 computers have NetBIOS set to "Default". I did not change that because I felt that troubleshooting should be done one step at a time. :) However, I include that information in case it has a bearing on the lack of filesharing access.

I'm back in town, so I can dig into this a lot more now. Your statement below, "NetBT set to "Default" is appropriate on a LAN with a real DHCP server (not a NAT router). With a NAT router, set it to "Enable", or configure the firewall properly. And be consistent!", has me confused. I don't know the differences between DHCP and NAT routers. I also am ignorant as to which terminology describes my home network. (3 machines plugged into a switch.) Should I change NetBIOS to "Enabled" on all 3 computers? I apologize for my lack of knowledge in this area. Thanks again for your assistance.

And you'd have one or more servers, one of which would do nothing but serve DHCP addresses and other settings, to the LAN computers. One setting would be the NetBT setting - On or Off. A NAT router, which is what you have, knows nothing about NetBT. You have to explicitly Enable NetBT, for consistency, on all 3 computers, and set the firewalls appropriately. -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience. My email is AT DOT actual address pchuck mvps org. Chuck,
Thank you for that explanation. Before I change any settings, I want to be sure I understand that explanation! Because my LAN is set up through a switch, I must explicitly enable NetBT. The setting which does this is called "NetBIOS" and I set this, not to "default" - where it is now on all 3 machines, but to "enable". Is that correct? As for firewalls, I am using the Windows XP firewall on all 3 computers. What setting would I use to ensure the firewall allows the 3 computers access to each other's shared files?

At the risk of monopolizing more of your time, I must admit that I am thoroughly confused now! I only THOUGHT I was confused before.... I set all computers to enable NetBIOS. That did not change anything. Then, again digging into your website, using the link you provided below, the applicable situation seems to be my ipconfig /all showing all three node types as "unknown". Your site, and Microsoft's knowledge base, seem to suggest that I run regedit and modify my "EnableProxy" value to either 1 or 0. Is this correct? That for my situation, a LAN with a switch with NO internet connection problems, but with file sharing access problems, that a regedit enableproxy value change is indicated as the next step in troubleshooting? How difficult would it be to completely eradicate any networking artifacts from my computers and try to start from scratch? (I am assuming that following the network setup wizard somehow led me into an erroneous configuration.)

If you have another problem (not uncommon here), you have to work on that problem next. Node Type "Unknown" is normally NOT a problem. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/address-resolution-on-lan.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/address-resolution-on-lan.html Let's look at "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net config workstation", from each computer, HERE, and diagnose the problem.

Again, I have 3 computers on a LAN. So far I have turned off NWLink on "Carolyncomputer" and explicitly enabled NetBIOS on all 3 machines. Here is the output from ipconfig /all, browstat status, net config server and net config workstation for all 3. Note: "kidscomputer" did not show anything on "my network places" other than "local network\shared doc's on kids computer" for two days. The portion "the internet" did not appear, despite normal internet functionality. Now, "the internet" is there, with the shared doc's folders for "carolyn computer" and "kens gateway" in place. It only has access to shared doc's on "kens gateway". Again, this is the same for all 3 machines: the machine's own shared doc's folder shows in the "local network" location. The other two show under "the internet". The only folder accessible to ANY computer is the shared doc's folder for "kens gateway".

Thank you. We've cross-posted, so ignore my previous post. THIS one is in reply to your message. I am embarrassed that I missed the obvious workgroup error. That is now fixed; all machines are on MINIWEB and all have been restarted. As requested, I have run browstat on them again. That is included, below. The symptons remain the same: Own machine shows on "Local Network"; the other two show under "Internet", and only "kensgateway" shared doc's folder is accessible to any computer. Thanks again! Even if this never gets resolved, I am indebted to you.
