Multiple networks? That's just greedy! :-) Jon -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of artful at rogers.com Sent: 06 November 2006 15:58 To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] WorkGroup problem After some experimenting, I discovered something interesting. My hardware skills are insufficient to explain it, but anyway. I have two routers, one a wireless Dlink and the other a wired LinkSys. The two boxes connected to the Dlink could not see the other two. So I rewired everything and connected everything to the Dlink. Lo and behold, suddenly everyone can see everyone else. I haven't yet removed the wired LinkSys from the setup. The Dlink connects to the LinkSys and now it is redundant, since I don't have that many boxes. But even without its removal, I have arrived where I wanted to go. Whew! Incidentally, I also run Kaboodle from my main box (the only one with a 19" flat monitor), and Kaboodle can see everything, so I can run anything on any box without switching boxes. Cool! In case anyone doesn't know about Kaboodle, just google it. It is pretty cool if you have multiple boxes and/or multiple networks. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jon Tydda <jon at tydda.plus.com> To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Thursday, November 2, 2006 6:41:03 PM Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] WorkGroup problem They could well be interfering. Turn them off, see what happens.

Interesting. I think the WXP firewall is enabled on all the XP boxes. I have a router (actually two) so perhaps I don't need the local firewalls? I'm concerned about external penetration of the network, but within my home every box should be able to do everything. Does that imply that the local firewalls are getting in the way? ----- Original Message ---- From: Jon Tydda <Jon.Tydda at alcontrol.co.uk> To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Thursday, November 2, 2006 11:49:49 AM Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] WorkGroup problem First silly question, have you got firewalls on the PCs? Always found that to be a problem :-) Jon -----Original Message----- From: Beach Access Software [mailto:bchacc at san.rr.com] Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 4:41 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] WorkGroup problem I have this problem as well. We've got 6 machines here and some can push onto other machines. Some can pull from. I can't figure it out either. But we have some mixed OSes - XP Home, XP Pro, W2K. What are you running? All the same?

All of them were set up in a workgroup, but for some reason my main box cannot see two of the machines, and those two machines cannot see the other two machines. They all have the same workgroup name and they all have a user called Arthur with the same password. Would it perhaps work if I removed the workgroup from all four boxes, or simply changed its name, or anything else. I really need to copy about 30 GB to one of the machines that I cannot see yet.
