I have two xp home machines, trying to make a small network and for testing
I had deactivated the Norton Firewall.

I can ping the two computers from each other but in the workgroup folder I
don't see them.
From one machine I can find the other via searchin but I cannot open the
reccourses "no permissopn..."


The XP Firewall is also deactivated
Each machine has different IP's 192.168.0.1 + 2
Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 for both
Netbios over TCP/IP is activated

PLEASE HELO ME!!!!


Thank you

Can you ping the machines by both IP address and name?
eg:
ping 192.168.0.1
ping otherpc

Have you run the network setup wizard to fully enable file sharing?
 
I can ping to Ip not to the computer name

TCP IP is configured manually and also the file sharing (windows explorer
right click properties...)

On NT machines I had set up some machines for years but this is my first try
on XP

Thank you

Go to a command prompt.
Do an ipconfig /all on each, and report the "node type".
 
Thank you for your help

I can't deinstalling the Norton because I want to check the other computer
via the LAN :-(
unfortunately he's infected by a virus I think.
No LAN no Check - thats my problem.

I have to leave now, but I try your helplist until tomorrow morning I think,
I'll sent you a message to the newsgroup how it works.


THANK YOU!!!!

Bye

Hmm, that's strange.

You are able to ping by IP address, but not by name.
That indicates a netbios name resolution failure.
This ought to be occouring by broadcast on your LAN.

A common cause of that is incorrect node type.
But in your case, I don't think so.

A couple more things to try:

1) I'm deeply suspicious of the Norton firewall which you say is
'deactivated'.
I'd try fully un-installing it.
Also just confirm the XP firewall is not enabled.

2) You say you have NetBIOS enabled.
Can you re-check that it still is.

3) On each machine, go to the command prompt,
and issue the command "nbtstat -n"

You ought to get a list of the local NetBIOS names.
It ought to look much like this:

C:\>nbtstat -n

Local Area Connection:
Node IpAddress: [172.17.45.151] Scope Id: []

NetBIOS Local Name Table

Name Type Status
---------------------------------------------
BATBS5LL0J <00> UNIQUE Registered<- Workstation Service
BHI-MASTER <00> GROUP Registered<- Workgroup Name
BATBS5LL0J <20> UNIQUE Registered <-Server service
BATBS5LL0J <03> UNIQUE Registered <-Messenger Service
BATBS5LL0J$ <03> UNIQUE Registered
LOWERONA <03> UNIQUE Registered <-Messenger Service


4) Try forcing name resolution to broadcast:

Go to Start | Run | regedit.
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters
Create a new Value called "NodeType".
Value Type: REG_DWORD - Number
Set the new NodeType value to "1".

Reboot.
ipconfig / all should report Node Type = Broadcast.
