[dba-Tech] Network Problem

Rocky,

Do you have Guest enabled on Hal9004?

I recently had a problem with printing from some networked laptops to my pc
(which has the printer).  Enabling the Guest account cleared it up for me.
It also cleared up my problems with sharing folders.

Dear List:

I have a network with 7 machines on wireless router with 4 wired ports.
Four machines are hardwired, three are wireless.  All of them are marked
shareable and the workgroup for all them is the same: WORKGROUP. All have
only one user the administrator and there's no logon.  All the machines just
fire right up to the desktop.

Not every machine can 'see' every other machine.  But most of them can see
most of the others.  

If I can solve the problem between my primary machine (HAL9005) and my
backup machine (HAL9004) I can probably figure out the rest.  Both of these
are hardwired through the router.

On HAL9004 I can pull stuff from HAL9005 and I can push stuff to HAL9005.
But HAL9005 cannot see HAL9004.  On HAL9005 in Network Places-->View
Workgroup Computers --> View-->Refresh (just to be safe) I get a list of all
the wired computers and wireless computers.  

But clicking on HAL9004 from HAL9005 I get the error message:

\\HAL9004 is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if
you have access permissions.

Network path not found.

I get this message when trying to access some of the other computers on the
'View Workgroup Computers' list from HAL9005.  But, like I say, if I can get
HAL9005 to see HAL9004 I can probably apply the solution to all the
computers so everybody can see everybody else.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

MTIA,

Rocky
