- Connecting two WinXPPro machines: can ping but can't share files
- Posted by c.j[DOT]w on July 22nd, 2003
Hello,
I am having problems connecting two Win XP Pro computers in a network. I
have set the IP adresses to 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2. I can ping both
computers from both computers. From 0.1 I can see the files shared on
the 0.2 computer, but not the other way around.
The workgroups are the same. When I from computer 0.2 choose Run...
"\\192.168.0.1" I get the error message "Can't find network
search-path". Neither "\\computername\" works. And I do have shares on
the 0.1 computer, a harddrive with the resource name "E" with full
access for user-group "All".
Any help is appreciaetd.

access to the other.

See my reply to Morley. Can you tell me how to check this? When I start
Windows, no login-window appear. And since I am the only user of the
computers I'd like it to be that way. But maybe this is the problem.

account on the remote machine - have you got a "Log off XXX ..." option
on your Start Menu where XXX is the username? If so just set up an
account on the remote machine using the same username and password, and
give that user the permissions required.

I've tried to set up two new accounts with the same username and
password on both machines, but without results. Still the same problem.
Any other idea?

I solved it.
In "Properties" for the network connections, I saw that there was
something strange with the "File and Printer sharing for Microsoft
Networks". Its checkbox was greyed, making me suspect some part of it
was disabled. There are no properties for this service though. So I
decided to reinstall it. After doing so, the checkbox was no longer
greyed, and the whole network worked fine.
