home network
I have three computers I'm running into a Linksys router to the web via a
cable modem. All three connect to the web without a problem. My desktop
(running XP Professional) can see my wife's laptop (also running XP
Professional) and share folders and printers without a problem. However,
neither my desktop nor her laptop can share F & P with her desktop (running
XP Home). When in My Network Places I click View Workgroup Computers, I can
see both her laptop (which I can click on to see shared F & P) but when I
click on her desktop, I get: desktop is not accessible. You might not have
permission to use this network resource. The network path was not found.
My wife's desktop can ping my desktop and vice versa.
We have run the Network Setup Wizard on all three computers. All three
computers have different names and the same workgroup name. There are no 3rd
party firewalls on any of our machines. I saw from another post with a
similar problem the suggestion that this is a classic browser conflict
problem. I attempted to follow the advice to download the browstat program.
I downloaded it first from Microsoft, then from Stanford. When I try to run
it, nothing happens with either version.
Can this having anything to do with the SSL encryption, my wife wants to know?
Can you help???

Alex,
I just downloaded browstat from both locations, and executed each with no
problems. I need to understand from you exactly what "nothing happens" in more
detail, so I can maybe revise my instructions. Are you copying it to a folder
in the path? Are you running it from a command window?

<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/command-window.html>
If you're using SSL somewhere, that could well be part of the instructions, but
let's start with the browser issue, and at least get that out of the way first.

Chuck,
Thanks for answering so quickly! I can't seem to figure out what you mean
by "a folder in the path." I downloaded browstat to my desktop; when I
double click on it, it's as if it tries to open a command window (it flashes
by briefly), but then nothing else happens.

Alex,
OK, I think I see the confusion here.
Please read my articles on The Command Window, and on Using The Path:
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/command-window.html>
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/using-path-and-making-custom-program.html>
You need to open a command window first. You need to type the browstat command
into the command window. If you download browstat to a Path folder, you can run
browstat as just "browstat status". If you don't put it into a Path folder, you
have to know the full path to where you put browstat, and run it by its full
path.
Give me some feedback here please - when you read the Browstat article:
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/browstat-utility-from-microsoft.html>
and you see the portion of that article as below:
* Download browstat, as above.
* Copy the downloaded file to any folder in the Path.
* Run Browstat from a command window, as "browstat status" (less the "").
Do you see links indicated by "any folder in the Path" and "command window"?
Can you follow those links?

Chuck,
That did it. Thanks for the clarification. In response to the browstat
status, my desktop showed: browsing is active on domain. Master browser
name is: ALEX. Master browser is running build 2600. 1 back up servers
retrieved from master ALEX. There are 3 servers in domain MSHOME on
transport...There are 1 domains in the domain MSHOME on transport....my
wife's desktop, however, showed: browsing is not active on domain. Master
name cannot be determined from get adapter status (strangely, also, the
second time out of three I ran it on my desktop, it showed the same thing as
hers...a little buggy, perhaps?)
As for feedback, in retrospect, your instructions are quite clear. Perhaps
one line indicating (for those of us not used to the command window) that you
must open it first to run the browstat program?
Thanks,
Alex

Alex,
OK, that's a start. Now, please post the entire text from "browstat status" and
"ipconfig /all" on all 3 computers, so we can diagnose the problem.

Alex,
Sorry about that. I should have also pointed you to:
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp>
OK, so far we can see:
o There are no name / address resolution problems. Node Types Hybrid and
Unknown are all compatible.
o There are no gratuitous protocols. NBT, and only that, on all 3 computers.
o All 3 computers are apparently connected, and Alex, at any case, sees the
other 2.
Now, how are you authenticating on your XP Pro computers? Please start here,
and read this entire article:
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/file-sharing-under-windows-xp.html#Guest>
The most likely cause of your problem is going to be a misconfigured firewall on
one of the computers, apparently Windows Firewall (do you have SP2, or pre-SP2 -
please inventory all 3 computers!) / Internet Connection Firewall (if pre-SP2):
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html>
If there absolutely are no firewall problems, and if authentication is not an
issue, then read the entire troubleshooting article:
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html>
We can also try diagnosing the problem in depth. Take the following code
(everything inside the "#####"). (Please verify computer names and ip
addresses).
1. Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight
then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is presented, and Paste (Ctrl-V)
into Notepad. Verify, and correct, names and addresses if necessary.
2. Save the Notepad file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root
folder "C:\".
3. Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag".
4. Wait patiently.
5. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and
ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.
Do this from all computers, please, with all computers powered up and online.

Alex,
YW, I'm glad to do it. But you need to work with me on this. The results you
sent are really scrambled. In order for CDiag output to be useful, it must be
in a precise order, and it must be complete.
Here's an example of a CDiag run from my computer PChuck1. Try and compare the
test cases in there with what you posted. Can you see the distinct tests in my
example? Do you see corresponding tests in your output?
I need you to copy the CDiag code that I sent, precisely as sent, to both
computers. Then after you run CDiag, I need you to copy the entire content of
each log, precisely as displayed, back to your next post.
