Steve,
Thanks for the advice. I got some other advice to install NetBEUI on
both machines, which I did, and it partially
solved the problem. I´ve not changed any other settings.
Componants installed are:
Client for MS Network
File and Printer Sharing
NetBEUI Protocol
TCP/IP
The "slave" can see, access and write to the shared "Server" folders,
but the "Server" still cannot see "Slave" and
gives the Network path not found message.
Rebooting and booting into safe mode with network support don´t make
any difference.
IPconfig /all gives the following results:
Windows 2000 IP Configuration
Host Name ..........: server ...........:slave
Primary DNS Suffix..: ...........:

nbtstat shows three different names, three times over, although I don´t
know what I am looking at!!
Services.msc on the "Server" lists the folllowing - again I don´t know

Nothing in events viewer.
I´m not sue what you mean by 'sharename' as in \\192.168.2.5\sharename
so didn´t try that.
Thanks again for the advice so far.

*Verify that both computers are getting correct network IP addresses
by running
Ipconfig /all on both of them. The both should show the a network
address in the
192.168.2.xxx range where .xxx would be the host address which would
be different for
each computer. They each need to use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Other things to check.
-- Personal firewalls, tcp/ip filtering, or internet protection
software can
interfere with connectivity between computers. Try to ping each other
by their name
and IP address. Booting into safemode with networking is worth a try
to see if a
startup application/service is interfering.
-- File and print sharing and Client for Microsoft Networks needs to
be installed and
enabled for tcp/ip. The workstation and server services need to be
running and
netbios over tcp/ip need to be enable which it would be by default.
Ipconfig /all
would tell if tcp/ip over netbios is disabled. Services.msc in the
run box can be
used to find services information. Nbtstat -n should show al least
three names
registered on each computer.
-- Look in Event Viewer for errors or warnings on each computer that
may provide a
clue.
-- Try to connect to the other computer by entering
\\computername\sharename in the
run box of the computer you want to connect from. If that does not
help try using the
IP address of the other computer as in \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\sharename.
-- Sometimes a reboot will help a computer with a stalled service.
-- The problem would not be with the router, it would be in your
computer
configurations. --- Steve

I am having a problem with my D-Link DSL-504G Router. I´ve been
through the manual and looked at the advice pages on DLink website
(Router is no longer supported), and think I have everything set
properly, but can´t seem to get it right. I think it may be a LAN
setting, but I am out of my depth. Please can someone help?
I have two computers both running Windows 2000 Pro SP4. They are
connected by Cat 5 LAN cable from a LAN port on the ECS motherboards to
the DSL-504G router.
Both computers can see the router and both access the internet through
it, without any difficulty.
The problem I have is that the two computers are not able to see each
other,
Computer one is called "server", its not a server, just the name I gave
it in windows, computer two is called "slave". Both are set up exactly
the same, same workgroup names etc. When I use the "My Network Places"
button on the ´server´desktop, after one or two minutes of searching, I
get a box up that says:
Workgroup is not accessible. Network path cannot be found.
When I do the same on the ´slave´, I get the icons on the screen for
both ´server´and ´slave´, but when I click on the ´server´icon to
access it, then the box comes up saying:
\\server is not accessible. Network path cannot be found.
Both computers can access the routers windows based configuration
pages. The router used the 192.168.2.1 address that it came with and
the IP address of the two machines are dynamic.
I´ve tried all the usual Windows things of trying to get [Network and
dialup connections][Make New connection] and thw wizard to locate the
LAN, but it can´t.
Any advice you could give would be welcomed.
Thank you
Norman W
