Hello,
I am running a machine with WinXP-Pro SP2 (firewall disabled), another
machine with Win2K-Pro SP3 and two UNIX machines (Solaris). All
machines are connected to a hub which is, in turn, connected to a
firewall router - except the Win2K machine which uses a wireless
connection to the firewall/router. The Windows machines are all members
of a workgroup.
The Windows machines use DHCP and have valid IP addresses assigned. The
UNIX machines all have fixed IP addresses. All machines IP addresses
are in the 192.168.0.xxx range (subnet 255.255.255.0). There is also a
printer sitting on 192.168.0.100. All the machines can print to the
printer, see the internet, dns, browse the web, send and receive email,
etc. etc.
The problem is seeing the internal LAN..
The WinXP machine and the Win2K machine can ping each other but can NOT
see shares or map drives or anything else. The Windows machines do not
seem to see the LAN other than themselves and printing on the LAN
printer (via TCP/IP).
The UNIX machines can see the workgroup but can only see the WinXP
shares -- NOT the Win2K shares.
On both Windows machines I'm running Client for MS Networks, File and
Printer Sharing for MS Networks and Internet Prototcol (TCP/IP). (And,
all are enabled.) The Win2K machine also has NetBEUI running.
Each Windows machine has shares but can only see it's own shares.
So, where's my LAN? What am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
-Hank
