Checklist for networking Windows xp Machines with TCP/IP
-----------------------------------------------------
- PCs which are not XP must have TCP/IP installed.
- Each PC must have a unique computer name.
- Each PC must have a network share defined.
- ALL NICS must be on the same subnet (e.g. IP 192.168.0.* subnet mask 255.255.255.0).
- XP PCs must have Netbios over TCP/IP enabled (only essential for XP to talk to
W9X PCs).
- MS Client and file & printer sharing must be enabled on each machine.
- All NICs must have their node type = anything except p-node (peer to peer, or point-point).
* To check, open a command prompt and type IPCONFIG /ALL.
- XP's ICF firewall is permanently disabled. (Only necessary for pre XP SP2).
- All 3rd party firewalls are disabled, uninstalled and deleted (until connection
is working).
- PCs have the same workgroup (helps, but not essential for XP/2K, necessary for
9X/ME).
Allow 15 mins after rebooting a PC for that PC to appear in the workgroup, or
for it to see all other PCs. Or you can search for the PC by its computer name.
Additional things to check if you still have problems:
-----------------------------------------------------
- Check your Services are Started on all PCs: Workstation, Server, TCP/IP Netbios
helper, Computer Browser.
- XP gives access to its shares via the Net Guest Account.
Net Guest Account is enabled by default in XP
(XP pro only)LOCAL SECURITY POLICIES:
"control panel(classic view)/administrative tools/Local Security policies"
--------------------------
USER RIGHTS ASSIGNMENT
- Access this computer from the network-->add guest
- Deny logon locally-->remove guest
- Deny access to this computer from the network--> check that Guest is not here
SECURITY OPTIONS
Network access:Sharing and security model--> Guest only - local users authenticate
as guest
((this is the part that worked for me))
and obviously we all want our shared drives to be password protected... at least
i do
in start click run and type "control userpasswords2" click the advanced tab at the
top and then the
advanced button in advanced user management click users then right click guest for
the context menu
and click set password and finaly click "proceed" and give it a password.........
By default it normaly wont let you give it a password in easily accessible tools
(e.g. user accounts in the control panel)
