Windows Server Forum / Windows NT / Setup / October 2003Help Please!
I have a newtork with 3 XP Pro boxes and 1 NT4.0 box connecting to the internet via a Linksys BEFSX41 Firewall Router. XP Pro boxes are all SP1a with built-in firewall turned off. They are all in the "WORKGROUP" workgroup, and getting there IP addresses via DHCP from the router. NT4.0 box is with SP6a, in the "WORKGROUP" workgroup and getting it's IP address via DHCP from the router. ALL computers access the internet fine (XP and NT4) The XP boxes see each other just fine. The XP boxes can all ping the IP address and netbios name of the NT box The NT box cannot ping the IP addresses nor the netbios names of the XP boxes. Pinging the IP address: "Request timed out." and ping the netbios name: "Bad IP address {netbios name}" When accessing via \\{netbiosname} "The network path was not found" This is the same result both directions XP to NT and NT to XP. Any ideas why the problem accessing the between XP and NT4? On the WINS tab in the connection properties of XP make sure "enable NetBIOS over tcp/ip" is selected. On Windows NT; Control Panel|Network|Services and make sure NetBIOS is installed and bound to the network connection. Also make sure you have a browse master. HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters Set all but the pc designated as browse master to MaintainServerList = "Auto" IsDomainMaster = "False" These may also help.

Now, one XP box can access the NT box, but the NT box cannot get back to the XP box. This is VERY strange. I have not had these problems before. I have tried everything that I can think of, and have done in the past, but nothing (including reload) seems to fix issue. > On the WINS tab in the connection properties of XP make sure "enable NetBIOS > over tcp/ip" is selected.

One XP WS that can not map to an NT server by name. XP can ping by Name or IP. XP can Map by IP. (Till the day before this had all worked fine). The NT machine shows in the XPs My Network Places but when you try to access we get Path Not Found. All machines use DHCP, the DNS & WINS entries all appear as then should. And no one has yet been able to offer any advice. If you do find a solution please post it. SignatureThanks for Your Time, Yor Suiris Remove NOT to reply. But it is best to share it with the Group. > This link may help. www.wown.com > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > have tried everything that I can think of, and have done in the past, but > > nothing (including reload) seems to fix issue. One way communication is in 90 percent of cases caused by "wrong" security (firewall) settigns. As you are not able to even use ping command both ways, I bet it is firewall setting on XP computers. Be sure you turned off all installed firewalls - not only build in Win XP firewall but also Zone Alarm, Symantec (Norton) Internet security (or Personal firewal) etc. Is DHCP server also able to do WINS? Are your TCP/IP settings taken from DHCP correctly? Use following commands in CMD window and compare results on NT and XP machines, especially check subnet mask - wrong mask is good source of weird network behavior): ipconfig /all route print Are netbios names of XP machines compatible with Win NT? (only up to 15 character long and using only standard ANSI alphanumeric characters). However, function of ping do not depends on netbios names. If you add other protocol (netbeui or IPX/SPX), are you able to communicate using netbios names? regards George Tech <tech@abac.com> p??e v diskusn?m p??sp?vku:lYGmb.31755$HS4.118482@attbi_s01... > I have a newtork with 3 XP Pro boxes and 1 NT4.0 box connecting to the > internet via a Linksys BEFSX41 Firewall Router.
