Chuck,
Your blog is very informative, here are my problems so far:
1. The computers are physically and logically connected the best I can tell,
the strange but successful sharing behavior I think shows that. Once again,
I can type in \\VELOCITY\Users\Jonathan\Music and I can read or copy files, I
just can't double click on the computer on the network without getting a
access denied error.
2. My node type is Hybrid and I cannot change it. I believe that the
registry keys you describe in your article are for earlier versions of
windows, not Vista Ultimate. Neither computers have
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters\DHCP Node Type or
Node Type] . Neither computers have
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters EnableProxy.
3. I successfully enabled NetBIOS on Sean-PC, double checked with ipconfig
/all. I could not enable NetBIOS on VELOCITY, reveled by ipconfig /all.
4. "Browstat status" has completely no effect, just a blank line. "Browstat
listwfw workgroup" returns: Calling NetServerEnum to enumerate WFW servers. 0
WFW servers returned. 0 total. There are WFW servers with an active Browser.
I think I should start with not being able to enable NetBIOS over TCPIP. How
should I go about this? Also, how do you change node type with Windows Vista
Ultimate?
Thanks
