can someone help me with my networking problem. XP...

[toxsickcity 0]

Hi I am getting frustrated with XP,

 

I have been using xp for ages now and just cannot get past the problem I keep getting...

 

Unlike windows 2000 it was very easy for networking and didnt have the problems I am having in windows xp..

 

well the main problem is not having proper access to the other computer.

I can see the other computer i type \\systemname in explorer and it goes there!! then I goto © then I am happy I can copy thing from c:

 

But for some reason I have problems accessing all files eg: if I try and goto the c:\documents and settings\username!! if I try and goto a username that is logged in on that computer it says u dont have access blah blah see administrator... da da da

 

I have checked and see that the drive c has full privlages for everyone.

Are they in the same workgroup? If so, use an admin-level account and try \\computername\c$ and see what that does for you.

hi, thanks for getting back to me so quickly...

 

arhh it is on the same workgroup (@home)

 

I have my system which is logged in as administrator and the computer name is amd2x2000, the other machine is modchan and logged in as mod which has Administrator group attached to the user account...

 

I looked in the settings and file and print it there,

 

Be sure that TcpOverNetbios is on... and WINS driver is not disabled in Device Manager dunno what they are and the WINS thing is not in my device manager...

 

4.) PLUS, the NetBIOS over TCP helper service is on also!

 

5.) Are your shares created on both boxes on folders also?

 

6.) Are users from BOTH systems in place in one another's user groups on BOTH machines?

dunno the last 3...

 

and most important what is this? VALID UNC Lan usernames in usergroups on both boxes how do I configure that?

 

hey can I ask someone who is smart and networking to possible if using win Messenger to find me and talk to me 1 on 1 for a little while...

search me, toxsickcity@yahoo.com

is my user account name in messenger!

 

and again thanks for your help so far...

I am using Windows XP Professional

 

and I send the apk program to my other computer and installed it and the other computer had problems sending a msg to mine but I can send a msg to other computer!

[toxsickcity 0]

the other computer is having a funny problem can you read the other topic from the main section I have another topic about a problem i am having witht he computer

 

anyway I can ping each computer from each computer and the other computer is having problems sending me data or messages

 

also a problem if I am using the other computer in order to browse my system I need to go to each item on the resource and goto properties then click into each folder otherwise the system will hang...

[toxsickcity 0]

arhhh internet connection sharing in not even there

 

Net Logon starts then stops automatticly... everytime

Runas is not there

 

everything else is okey,

 

can I also say something else...

 

I have 5 computers here,

1- Cyrix 333 (Windows ME) Cable Interet Server

2- AMD Dual 2000+ (Windows XP Pro) My system for Games and work..

3- Pentium4 1.8g (Windows XP Pro) My wifes pc

4- Celeron 700 (Windows XP) Mother pc

5- Pentium2 450 (Windows XP) Brothers Pc

 

I have problems only using XP, my pc connecting to the server running windows me is good not a problem at all because it has no user accounts bull$@%^

[toxsickcity 0]

those services fix 1 problem on the other computer, when ever tring to access mine, it doesn't crash no more...

 

but still having a problem getting complete access...

[toxsickcity 0]

P.S.=> IN CONTROL PANEL, go to System Icon on both machines (both are XP right?)... give me their system names, we will do SPECIFIC example to add usersnames into groups on both machines with those names step by step! EDIT PART: We are "post overlapping" & I just caught your msg for IPConfig readouts... ok here is how you add users from one system to next (use your Administrator user for starters ok?):

 

Using Computer Management tool from Control Panel, Adminstrative Tools folder, Local Users and Groups tree item in left-hand side pane go to the Users folder & right mouseclick on it & use NEW User:

 

ON MACHINE named MODCHAN, add this Adminstrator user as new user:

 

\\amd2x2000\Administrator

 

ON MACHINE named amd2x2000, add this Adminstrator user as new user:

 

\\MODCHAN\Administrator

 

 

In my Windows XP system I am having a problem, I have problem adding a user named "\\modchan\administrator" it says you cannot add "\"

 

and that is the biggest problem... I need a way to add my other computer to my locations or something???

 

perhaps if I was to goto Computer management and connect to another computer and edit the account like that?? but I cannot access the user accounts area when I connect to the computer management on the other computer

 

after restarting the other computer for a while I am having that problem where as if I try and access a resource on my amd2x2000 from modchan then it crashes unless I right click the folder or drive I wanna goto and goto properties first!

 

Bloddy Microsoft...

 

Off topic! I am having a problem with a game...

Red Alert 2, will not load,

 

I used to have a P4 1.8ghz, the game worked fine, then I upgraded to my new system details:

 

Amd Dual MP 2000+

1024MB DDR 266Mhz

4x 80Gig 7,200

Radeon 9700 Pro

21" Sony

 

after this upgrade red alert 2 would load up at all...

 

Then along comes Service Pack 1 for Windows XP

The GAme Red Alert 2 works now Yay, but Yuri's revenge doesn't!!

 

anyone here got an answer? or is this just a microsoft problem and have to wait longer for a patch or something?

hi, I dont know if this is what I am supposed to do? u can tell me where i went wrong...

 

this time I have captured pics now i have to know how to put em in...

 

okey i tried to add a user in the group thingy...,

but again i am not allowed the photos show me the steps I took tring to make the \\modchan\administrator happen...

 

I will write a message after each picture...

 

 

In this picture I have just opened my Computer Management, and have gone to groups.

 

 

In this Picture I have just open the administratot group. and about to click add

 

 

this photo shows the input user section..., this is the same interface for inputting a new user or a new group...

 

 

I have typed in the text \\modchan\Administrator, but the system doesn't like that!!! and i dont know why...

 

 

I have gotten this error message.. and at the top it says use this format computer\user

So I tried typing just modchan\administrator, still doesnt like it...

 

 

When I click locations I get this...

I cannot add a location... and I am stuck here...

 

 

 

from one of the earlier pics, there was a button called advanced... this is whats inside that...

 

 

Don't forget I am using windows XP Pro not windows 2000

I think windows 2000 allows \\modchan\administartor but xp not??[/img]

 

 

 

This I gotta think out... which crashes? ModChan, or AMD2x2000??

when I am trying to access amd2x2000 from modchan the modchan system will crash, but if I goto the amd2x2000 system and click log off the other computer will respond again, but I must not leave it too long...

 

eg: If I want to really access Amd2x2000 from modchan I must, on modchan type \\amd2x2000 enter

then double click ©

 

if nothing happens after 3-5 seconds I will quickly goto my amd2x2000 and click log off... then the modhcan system will work.

 

This is a weird problem...

 

there is another way to access the computer that is to before entering the © if I right click it then goto properties, click ok then double click © and it will work...,

 

Now just another little bit of information better late then never..., but this entire problem I have been happening has been happening everytime I install a freash windows on my system...

 

Believe it or not, I am a computer technician but this problem is beyond me!!! haha bloody computers one day your best friend and next not!

I dont have anyfirewalls, I have a clean install of windows on each machine and have checked that the firewall settings are actually off...

 

So I dont know whats going on.
