| Guest | ICS works, but file sharing not Hello, I have very intresting case here. I have DesktopPC running XP Pro SP2 and laptop running Vista Biz. My Desktop is connected to the internet via DialUp ADSL modem. I am using cross cable or bluetooth connection to connect these two computers to LAN. I managed to share the internet connection, i.e. laptop is accessing internet via desktop in both cases (cable & bluetooth), however, I can't share the files on these two computers. Moreover, then I open Network And Sharing center on laptop and view the full network map, the picture is normal: I see laptop, the hub, my DesktopPC and internet. When I open the "Network" there are the laptop and "Residential Gateway Device" instead of a DesktopPC. When I open "View workgroup computers" form "My network places" I see both computers, however if I try to open the laptop share I get the message "The network path was not found." Do you have any suggestions or maybe you need any additional information? Thanx in advance, Xenobius |

It's a name resolution problem, generally caused by SMBs being blocked. There's one recently discovered problem, that's gaining in visibility. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2007/09/changes-in-internet-explorer-security.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2007/0...-security.html Other than that, I'd look for a NetBT setting problem, or a misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/07/advanced-windows-networking-using.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/0...ing-using.html You could provide logs from "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net config workstation", from each computer, so we can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!): <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...#AskingForHelp -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP 2005-2007 [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
