Can anyone help me out plse?
I am trying to restore network connectivity between a desktop PC & a
notebook via a Netgear DG834G ADSL
wireless firewall router, with the desktop connected to the router via
ethernet cable. I am connecting the notebook to the router using a Netgear
WG511 wireless PCMCIA card (54g).
Before someone in IT carried out some necessary upgrade work on my notebook
of migrating my works profile from one server to another, my notebook and
desktop were completely networked, despite not being on the same 'domain' or
in the same 'Workgroup'.
Both PC's can access the internet without difficulty, the desktop can access
the notebook via the wireless connection, but I cannot get the notebook to
access the desktop - I get the following message: 'The network place could
not be added because the following error occurred: There are currently no
logon servers available to service the logon request'. To me the strange
thing is that the notebook is a work device with all the necessary
protection you would expect of that - and I can access that no problem -
while my home desktop has not such a high level of exclusion and I can't get
into that from the notebook..
I have searched the Microsoft Knowledge Base, finding two documents, but
being completely new to setting up networks, I must admit to not
understanding the advice or where to look to implement it.
The systems are as follows:
Desktop: OS = Windows XP Professional
Computer Name: APSDTOP
Workgroup: MSHOME
PC IP = 192.168.0.2
DHCP enabled
DNS: Use NetBIOS from DHCP server
WINS: left clear
Notebook: OS = Windows 2000 operating within company domain
Wireless card IP: 192.168.0.3
WEP encryption off
DHCP enabled
DNS: Use NetBIOS from DHCP server
WINS: left clear
Router: IP address 192.168.0.1
DHCP enabled
WEP encryption off
In my ignorance I guess this all has something to do with the computers not
being in the same domain or workgroup, but before the changes implemented by
my company, I could quite easily (& securely) access each machine from the
other.
Sorry this has been so long-winded, but any advice is gratefully received.
Thanks. - Herbie
