- Networking only one way
- Posted by Blair on June 29th, 2006
I have a LaptopXP networked to a desktopXP via a Router and the desktop can
see the full network but the laptop cannot and I get a message Home is not
available. You might not have permission to use this network resource. The
network path was not found.
The laptop uses a wireless connection and the Desktop uses an ethernet
connection.I can ping the laptop from the desktp but the othreway |I get
Timed out.
I feel that it is some simple setting that is causing this and although I
have looked at all the posssible settings I can't get any further.
I have tiurned off both XPs Firewall
What can be causing this?

Couple of things...
1. Is IP forwarding enabled on the desktop PC?
2. Are the laptop, PC and router all on the same, or different, subnets?

Have you had Norton internet security on at any time? Removing this can
interfere with the networking abilities, try this little gem
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet
\Control
\Lsa
Value name: RestrictAnonymous
Value type: DWORD
If the value is 1 or even 2, change it to 0, reboot and retest. If the
problem is solved, leave the value at zero. If not, you can change it back
if you like.

If that doesnt solve it, walk your way through the guide above.

The laptop and the PC are on the same subnets namely 255.255.255.0 and I'm
afraid I can't find how do see the routers subnet although I did so before.
Can you help here?
Regards

No, that just means they have the same subnet mask.
Look at the IP addresses for each machine. They are (as I'm sure you
know) of the form:
a.b.c.d
If the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 then the values for a, b and c MUST
be the same on both machines for them to be on the same subnet. d must
of course be different, and not 0 or 255.
If all this is the case, check the default routes for each. Should be
via their own IP address in each case, but not having a Windows machine
anywhere near I can't check the exact place. Use the ipconfig /all
command to get lots of info.

Thanks for your help.
At least I have an improvement. The laptop now shows both Computers and the
details are there for the laptop but when I press the desktop I get the
message"\\Desktop is not accessable. You might not have permission to use
the network resource. The network path was not found"
I found the guide difficult to use- a number of items did not exactly fit
the situation with the result that there was no definite conclusion.

Go through each folder you've shared, clear the box for network sharing,
then select one folder to share and check the box for it then see if you can
access it.

The only thing that's happened is that I have now lost my two PCs showing
under home and it tells me that Home is not accessible. Back to square 1
I'm not sure now what to do

On the home machine, log in in safe mode and set up the ntfs permissions
so that "everyone" has full control. Reboot and see what happens. If
that works do the same again and set relevant permissions to the folders
you want to access.

that everyone has control.
By the home machine I take you mean the Laptop which can't access the
desktop
Sorry to be so stupid

ok, 1st off. Can you clear up any confusion. Please tell us the ip
address, computer name and operating system (home or pro) for both the
laptop and the desktop. The results of an ipconfig /all for both pasted
in would be good too. You can do this by doing something like :
ipconfig /all > c:\txt.txt
which will copy the results to a file on your root drive called txt.txt.

On the laptop, Control Panel/Sytem/Computer Name. This should show the
laptop name and the workgroup, which I assume is the Home you refer to. If
it doesn't, click Change and do the necessary. Similarly for the other pc.
If that doesn't work I'd go to My Network Places and 'set up a new network'.

Laptop
XP Home, IP Address 192.168.1.132, Default gateway 192.168.1.1
Computer Name; Laptop
Desktop
XP Home, IP Address 192.168.1.117, Default gateway 192.168.1.1
Computer name, Desktop
For some reason I cannot run ipconfig/all>c:\txt.txt So I tried
ipconfiig/all and it also could not be found.
This is a mystery as I have successfully used it before
The result then was on the Desktop, only the desktop was listed and on the
laptop Media State- Disconnected

The name and workgroup are correct for both Computers
Set up a new network but the same result
