[thelist] OT: Windows 2000 Networking

[David Mitchell]

Hi Bruce,

When I run ipconfig on the machines in question, I can verify that they
all have unique Ips (to answer another post...). I'm not at home now, so
I'll have to wait till tonite to post the results of ipconfig.
Located in Canada.

Here's the lowdown on the machines:

1) Windows 2000 server - sees all and can be seen by all
2) Windows XP pro - see all and can be seen by all
3) Windows 2000 pro - sees above 2, but can't see new machine (4)
4) Windows 2000 pro (new machine) - sees (1) and (2) but can't see (3)

All all using the same protocols and are members of the same workgroup.
The
only anomaly I can think of is (3) is a laptop and is on a wireless
connection. My router is set up to serve DHCP. Maybe this could be the
factor?

Can you give a bit more info about the various setups?  eg.  OS on
laptop vs
OS on other PCs.

<warning src="memory" alt="may be a bit rusty" />

On many win9x machines, TCP/IP is not installed by default and they use
NetBEUI.  The reverse is the case in Win2k/XP setups.

Since ping is based on TCP/IP, this may explain the problem with not
being
able to ping the machine.

Try using NBTSTAT.EXE to test rather than ping.  This can sometimes work
better between various network setups.
