OK, I admit it, this is driving me nuts...

It worked a few weeks ago and I do not recall making any changes.

A simple NET VIEW has returned a few system errors...

  6118 which seems to have gone away

Now I get a few different ones depending on how I issue the call...

-------------
c:\>net view
System error 53 has occurred.

The network path was not found.
-------------

----------
c:\>net view \\192.168.0.110
There are no entries in the list.
----------

The two computers are at 192.168.0.100 and 182.168.0.100 respectively.

NET VIEW does work in these instances.

On the other system, a NET VIEW does provide the proper display, showing
the names of both systems, however, a NET USE will not work there and
you can't access the other system without a permission error message.

Like I said, it was working before...

When I researched the web, I found this machine was not allowing
anonymous logins, and I changed the REGISTRY to allow this and it
partially started to work.

Also, with the other system OFF, all NET commands work fine?

Ideas?

Thanks in Advance,

  Did some more work on this...

Discovered I didn't have any SHARES on the other system (I had deleted
and added File and Print Sharing to see if that was a problem) and I
created some... now get this...

====================
c:\>net view \\192.168.0.110
Shared resources at \\192.168.0.110

Share name  Type  Used as  Comment

----------------------------------------------------
C_hp        Disk
D_hp        Disk
The command completed successfully.


c:\>net view
System error 53 has occurred.

The network path was not found.

==========

So, the problem is getting NET VIEW to work.

Also did an IPCONFIG /ALL on both systems. Only oddity was this line, On
the XP Pro it reads "Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown" and on
the XP Media Center it reads "Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . :
Hybrid". Is this a problem and how do I change it?

Part of your problem lies in the IP addresses.  192.168.x.x is not routable.
182.168.x.x is.  Perhaps there is a typo in your message.

Exactly how are the two computers connected?

Jim, via a ROUTER, and the ROUTER address is 192.168.0.1.

Here is the IPCONFIG /ALL output from this machine...

I've tried changing the Node Type to 'Hybrid' via the REGISTRY, no go.

Right now, I'm NOT sure where the problem lies, this XP Pro machine or
the XP Media Center one, or both?

Right now, these commands seem to work

Everything seems to be working on my end at least? All I did was change
one Registry setting? Specifically My
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters
->NodeType to 8, which I found somewhere on the web sets it to HYBRID
(which it seems it hasn't?).

I am not sure what is going on, or if on the next boot I'll still be
able to get access to the other computer? Right now, both machines are
working as expected? Still confused what happened though?

Irv,

Are the 2 computers actually on separate subnets?  Why?  How did you come up
with 182.168.0.100 for one computer?

And Jim is right - SMBs won't pass between 2 computers on different subnets.  If
the 2 computers are on separate subnets, then you have to figure out why any net
command works.

How about we look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each computer
(download browstat!):

I see the 'problem' in my message, I didn't read it...

"The two computers are at 192.168.0.100 and 182.168.0.100 respectively."

is wrong, it should be

"The two computers are at 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.110 respectively."

Anyway, at this time, it IS working, but I don't know why it is? Or I
should say I don't know what I did to make it work...

The one reason that comes to mind is that you enabled passing of ICMP
packets through the firewalls.

Checked my firewall, not allowing them in?

I did do 'many' things to see if I could fix this?

I changed network cards (I have a card and motherboard network adapter,
only need one). This didn't fix it.

I uninstalled and re-installed MS File and Print Sharing, this didn't
fix it.

I removed all the firewall rules, this didn't fix it (but I didn't
expect it to as I disabled the firewall and it didn't work).

I started looking as SERVICES I had shut-off, although I didn't change
any recently. The only one 'questionable' was MESSENGER which I had off
and that stops NET NAME from working.

Looked as both machines NETWORK PROPERTIES and didn't see anything
significant.

All I know is that it is now working and I don't think I really changed
anything?

Best guess was the MS File and Printer Sharing un-install and
re-install. Something might have been corrupted as once I re-did the
shares it was working again?

Irv,

If everything is working properly, I suggest that you resist the temptation to
look any further, as you may be further tempted to tweak something.

If something stops working, please read the articles that I cited, and provide
diagnostics.  Windows Networking is unbelievably complex for many reasons.
Diagnostics are your friend, not a needless hindrance to be avoided.
