    - Windows Networking Problem caused by ICS? I have an operating network with four XP Pro SP3 based computers, two wired and two wireless on a Linksys router connected to a DSL modem. I added another wired laptop (XP Pro SP3) that I have been using on a network at another job. It used Novel Netware Client for Windows which I uninstalled. I set it up for my local Windows network exactly the same as the others. It uses NAV 2008 as does three of the other computers and one is using OneCare. The Windows and OEM firewalls are off. All the computers are in the same "Ournet" Workgroup. From this added laptop, I can view and access the shared files on the other four computers. I can ping the added laptop from the other computers and ping the original computers from the added laptop. However, the added laptop does not show up in My Network Places nor in "Entire Network/Microsoft Windows Network/Ournet" on the other computers. Even though I cannot see the added laptop, I can use Windows Explorer on the other computers to map a network drive to the shared folder on the added laptop! I have checked settings many, many times, read Knowledgebase articles, and looked in Forums and could find nothing that fixed my problem and made Windows Networking display the added laptop. Any suggestions would be helpful. I did find something unusual that may contribute to the problem. The added laptop is the only computer on the network that shows "Internet Connection" (Sharing) as a Network Connection. I have tried to disable or delete this network connection without any success. I could find nothing that worked in the Microsoft Knowledge base. I have disabled the adapter and the "Local Area Connection" and "Internet Connection" go away until I re-enable the adapter. I set both connections so I could see when they were active in the system tray. "Internet Connection" starts up right after the "Local Area Connection" starts but runs at 8Mh rather than the 100Mh of the Local Area Connection. I have recreated the network with the Network Setup Wizard making sure I indicate that this and all network computers are connected to a router not to another computer. But ICS is still there. I have no idea if ICS is causing my network display problem but I would like to fix both. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bill-R Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288358

    - Static/Advanced Routing I could do a simple thing and get a switch, but there are circumstances that make static routing more ideal - if what I am looking to do can be done. What that is is file and print sharing between computers that are associated with two routers - a primary router/gateway and a secondary router that is behind the primary router. Behind my modem is a router. Behind the router are two wireless computers, two wire-connected computers, and a VOIP phone. Behind that phone is another wire-connected computer. The problem is that this phone acts as a router and so the computer behind it is associated with a different subnet then the computers on the primary router. Is there a way to change this cinsequence through changing settings on the routers so that all computers are able to associate at the level of the primary router? How? I saw that there was a function on the phone to disable its DHCP Server capabilities and a way to apply Static Routing settings with a Destination IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP, Metric, and Interface. Is this where the action takes place? Would I set the computer that is behind this phone to use DMZ? Here is some IP info for the main router... WAN IP Address: Will keep private LAN IP Address: 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Domain Name: Castillo Host Name: Castillo LAN MTU: Auto Local DHCP Server: Enabled Default Gateway: Will keep private DNS Server(s): Will keep private And for the phone: WAN IP: 192.168.1.250 (Static) LAN IP: 192.168.15.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 WAN MTU: 1500 LAN MTU: N/A Local DHCP Server: Enabled Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 DNS Server(s): 192.168.1.1; Will keep private Other Notes: WAN-level DMZ enabled for phone -- -Zakhary Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288352

    - Is network transfer speed limited by MS patch Yesterday I noticed that my laptop computer network appears to be limited. The laptop has a 100 Mbps connection to a Vista server with a 1 Gpbs NIC and switch. The Vista system is a SageTV server and I use the laptop to view videos using the Sage Client. While tring to view videos my laptop network speed appears to be limited to just over 2.5 Mbps. I then tested network transfers between the laptop and Vista server and they also were very slow, none completed properly. I then installed service pack 3 hoping that would correct the problem, it did not. Today I used my backup system which also has a 100 Mbps connection to determine when the problem occurred. It looks like patch KB947864 kills the network transfer speed on my backup. Removing the patch on the backup system correct the problem. It does not have SP3 installed yet. I tried to correct the laptop by removing that patch, it did not make any difference. The SP3 install could not be removed. I tried going back to previous restore points, none were successful. Can anyone verify the patch KB947864 (Cumulative Security Update for Internet Exployer 7 for windows XP) kills their network speed when connecting to a Vista system. Anyone know how I can fix the network speed on my laptop? Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288343

    - Static IP fails to DHCP We're trying to configure a static address on an XP machine. When the machine is restarted it switches itself back to DHCP settings. If we switch it back to static, same thing, next time machines restarted we lose the static address and reverts to dhcp. It's extremely frustrating and I can't find any help on this.

    - Ping "awakens" network browsing I have a home network consisting of a desktop and a laptop. I have FIOS internet, the desktop connects via Cat5 and the laptop is wireless with WPA2 encryption. The problem I am having is the 2 computers will lose their connection to each other from time to time, for example trying to access a shared drive on the desktop from the laptop gives you an access denied type of error. If I ping the desktop the connections "wake up" and I can then browse to the shared drive or to shared folders. What do you think the problem is and why does it work after a ping? I ran "browstat status" and it says browsing is active on the domain and the laptop is the master browser, any help is appreciated. Thanks Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288316

    - 2 networked pc's one can't access other I have 2 pcs on a lan, both are winxp pro under the same work group etc. Both have their desktop shared. On pc 1 I can go to network places, work group and computers, and double click on pc 2 to access its shares. However, if I do the same thing on pc 2 and try to connect to pc 1, it says it is not accessible or I might not have permissions, access denied. I have even gone as far as making a user name on pc 2 that is the same as an existing user name on pc 1 but no success. Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288313

    - On home network 2000 sees all, XP doesn't Forgive the cross post, but am unsure where to go here. I have three computers on my home LAN, two 2000's and 1 XP. Both 2000's can see and share all three machines. Yet the XP can only see one of the 2000s, not the other. Yet the 2000 that the XP cannot see, can see the XP and it's shared drives. It's like a one-way network. Can anyone give me a little guidance as to what they think I need to look at/change so my XP (desk) can see that 2000 (hidden behind some furniture and uncomfortable to work from)? Many thanks ahead, as always. Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288310

    - Dual NIC's in one PC - Internet & LAN Hi, I have a Dell Preceision 960 with two NICs installed. The first NIC is an integrated Broadcom NIC and I want to use it for Internet and remote access via web. The TCP/IP is set for auto IP and DNS. The second NIC is an Intel Pro 1000/GT which has 4 virtual NICs setup on it. One for each VLAN that have their own IP, Subnet and gateway defined in the TCP/IP config. The VLANs to the Intel come off a Cisco switch in a closed network with no internet access. The input to the Broadcom comes from a different hub that has internet access. I can get internet access through the Broadcom if I "disable" the Intel in the Network Connections window but then I lose the data tracking to the apps while it is disabled. Typically when the Network is connected through the Broadcom it has an auto assigned IP of 10.0.0.13. The VLAN IP's, subs and gw's are: VLAN 90 - 192.168.42.108, 255.255.255.128, 192.168.42.1 VLAN 91 - 192.168.42.140, 255.255.255.192, 192.168.42.129 VLAN 92 - 192.168.42.208, 255.255.255.192, 192.168.42.193 VLAN 93 - 192.168.67.10, 255.255.255.192, 192.168.67.1 I need both to play nice so I can keep the VLAN apps running and be able to get internet and remote access (via VPN) when I need it.

    - Default gateway behaviour Hello, My network has two default gateways and one is a faster connection than the other. My computer is set to use 192.168.7.1 with a metric of 1 and 192.168.7.2 with a metric of 20 This works as expected most of the time with everything going out of 192.168.7.1 unless it's dead.

    - Web-folder connection causing system slowdown Hi, In My Network Places, I have a connection set up to a folder on a SharePoint Server site. After I boot up, I can click the folder in My Network Places from within Windows Explorer. It asks for my credentials, and then I'm in until the next reboot. The problem is that once I've authenticated, my entire system is slowed down. I'm not sure why that is so, but I thought that an easy fix would be to disconnect (rather than having to reboot or just live with the slowness). However, I can't find a way to disconnect. Right-clicking the folder does not produce any Disconnect option (which does exist on Windows Vista). Disconnect Network Drive doesn't work because I haven't mapped to any drives. Any ideas? Thanks!

    - blending? dsl and cable connection to one computer Im curious if the following the can be done. Could i run a dsl and a cable connection to one computer in a way that only requires one network connection enabled yet utilizes both connections? I use my computer for day trading(stocks, options, etc) and need to reduce/eliminate any connection drop offs even for a few seconds. The trouble is the software i use for trading requires a connection license thats about $800 month and only allows one connection to be running at a time for one license. My thought was perhaps running the dsl modem and cable modem into a router and then connecting my computer to that would allow me to log into the trading software such that if say the cable connection would drop off the dsl would still keep the data flowing and vice versa. Anyone have any idea if this is possible and perhaps how to do it??? thanks for reading Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288224

    - broadcasting (non-static) IP address Hi, I have recently purchased a web camera that is accessible through the internet (thru web server software that runs on a Windows XP PC). I have port forwarding set up on my router so that when I request comes in to the public IP address of my DSL connection on one of the ports used by the web server for the camera, it is redirected to the local IP address of my PC that is running the web server software. It works fine, but my only problem so far is that I do not have a static IP address. Everytime my DSL modem / router are restarted, I get a different public IP address. This would not be a problem because only a few people will be accessing this webcam and I don't mind if they have to use a different IP address each time. If I am home, I just go to http://www.whatismyip.com/, make note of my current public IP address and I send it to the person who wants to access the web cam. The only problem is when I am not home. I was wondering if there is a way I can have my PC automatically broadcast the public IP address so that even if I am not home, I can determine what IP address to use when trying to access the web camera.

    - Subnet routing & VPN Hello, 1. Is it possible in some way to remove the routes to the subnet in which the network adapter resides? 2. Is it possible to somehow forward traffic to a subnet trough a VPN connection? I am struggling with the problem of setting up a working VPN in an environment where the local subnet is the same as the destination one. I have googled up some solutions but cannot give them a try due to problems in the above answers. Any amount of manual work before / after enstabilishing a connection will do fine, since I can script it anyway. If VPN will do no good in such a situation, what other technologies can I use to fix the problem if changing the subnet is not an option. Thanks for any help in advance!

    - Provider denies access XP-Pro installed on a new machine, single user, no network. One Asuscom ISDN card, integrated ethernet adapter on the main board. Drivers for the ISDN card I took from the installation-CD. Accounts I set up for 2 providers, used the wizzard to make Dialup connections. Entered the same user names and passwords as on my previour win98 machine. Each dialup ends right after 'checking user name and password', so XP corrupts one or both of them, or doesn't supply them at all. The ISDN monitor program logs everything that's going in and out up to the moment the connection is established, so I can't see what's happening. Is this a common problem? Is there a utility to monitor the dialog with the ISP? Cornelis Koger Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288213

    - PC Freezes Several Minutes when connecting to Internet I had this problem under XP SP2 but now it seems worse (Lasts longer) under SP3. I am using a Pentium 4 with a 3.06 processor. My motherboard no longer has any BIOS updates. I understand that the code in Microsoft Update causes a problem with my processor and that a BIOS update may be necessary (Not available). What the system does is it FREEZES for several minutes after it makes it's connection to the Internet (I don't have this problem on my Laptop P3 also running XP SP3). I've confirmed it happens only when making a connection to the internet. If I turn off the Router connecting to the Internet I do not have the PC freezing up problem. As soon as I turn on the internet connection the PC will sit in a frozen state (Cannot input via Keyboard, applications, froze...only mouse moves) for several minutes. After several minutes it clears and returns to normal operational state and will work fine after that. I attempted to do a Microsoft Workaround for this problem that I found for SP2 but it does not work for SP3 and I really don't want to downgrade to do the work around. The workaround involves using MS Console on boot and renaming update.sys then running a hotfix KB885626, but when I run the hotfix it won't finish as it says my version of Windows doesn't require it (SP3). I really don't want to downgrade to SP2 to do this fix (Since I'm not sure it will work anyway) and I'm getting tired of waiting several minutes for the system to respond after making it's connection to the internet....Suggestions?

When I look at network places on the desktop I can see it and the laptop OK. When I look at teh Laptop Network Places I can only see it and not the desktop. I cannot communicate either way. The cable is connected OK. Can anyone offer suggestions? Thanks -- PeterG Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288195

    - Run out of IP addresses The subject says it all. I have five Windows 2003 servers, each running various business apps including a Manufacturing Systems, Exchange Server 2003, a separate SQL Server 2005 box. I have roughly 200 hosts, with a variety of print servers, wireless access points etc. I have one ADSL connection, which is the default gateway on all machines. I am running Active Directory on all servers with the DHCP scope ranging 192.168.50.1 thru 192.168.50.254 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0 Print servers, wireless access points and the router all have reservations in the DHCP scope. The problem. I need more IP addresses. I am looking for a step by step guide to adding another subnet to the network so that all hosts on the new subnet can speak to the existing servers and share the ADSL connection. Thanks in advance Maurice Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288188

    - Network problem - need help Hello, I have two PCs with XP SP2 installed. Both of them has wireless connection to the same router that connects to a cable modem. The router has IP address 192.168.1.1 and the PCs get IP address from the router with DHCP, 192.168.1.101 and 192.168.1.111 respectively. Now, one PC (192.168.1.101) can reach (ping) the other one, but the other way is not working (192.168.1.111 cannot ping 192.168.1.101). I have checked the two machines, the setup are identical. I have no idea why the ping test only works one way. BTW, they both has no problem with accessing network. Thanks for any help. John Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288170

    - Home Networking Problem Not sure if this is the right forum for this question since I am not experiencing any Web connection problems. I am, however, experiencing a problem with my Win XP Pro computer on the Workgroup that I have. I have 2 other computers running Vista Ult. and they can see each other fine. The XP machine even shows up on the Network but when I click on its icon I get an error message denying me access to the computer. On the XP machine I see the Workgroup but when I click on its icon I cannot see anything--permission denied error. I have gone through the Network Setup Wizard several times but I can't seem to get it right. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    - Firewire cards. Hi. In my computer I've installed an Ethernet card, a dial-up modem and a firewire card. -The dial-up modem (56kbps) is used to connect to the internet. -The Ethernet port will be used for a cross-over cable network. -The firewire card I wish to use strictly for my external sound card. Looking at my "Network Connections", my firewire card shows up under "1394 Connection". Looking at it's properties, I see that "Client For Microsoft Networks", "File And Printer Sharing" and "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" are checked. In my "Device Manager" I find a "1394 Net Adapter". My questions are: A) How do I work it that the firewire card is used strictly for the external soundcard (Presonus Firebox)? B) If I change the network settings attached to the "1394 Connection", will it affect my ability to connect to the net via dail-up and network between computers via the ethernet port? etherstreams@hotmail.com Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288161

    - Network Windows XP to Win98 Hi. I am looking to network 2 computers (one has WindowsXP installed and the other Windows 98) using a cross-over network cable. Both computers have an Ethernet port and a dial-up modem. Where I live, we only have dial-up internet, therefore each computer is set up to connect to the internet through their respective modems. My goal is to network the 2 computers together without Internet Connection Sharing. What (and how) would be the best way to do this? P.S. I do not know if it is relevant, but the WindowsXP system also has a firewire card installed that I reserve strictly for my soundcard. etherstreams@hotmail.com Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288158

    - Can't disconnect from Web folder Hi, In My Network Places, I have a connection set up to a folder on a SharePoint Server site. After I boot up, I can click the folder in My Network Places from within Windows Explorer. It asks for my credentials, and then I'm in until the next reboot. The problem is that once I've authenticated, my entire system is slowed down. I'm not sure why that is so, but I thought that an easy fix would be to disconnect (rather than having to reboot or just live with the slowness). However, I can't find a way to disconnect. Right-clicking the folder does not produce any Disconnect option. Disconnect Network Drive doesn't work because I haven't mapped to any drives. Any ideas? Thanks!

    - Ping Not Seeing Networked Computers I have a home network connecting through a Linksys 4-Port Router. I connect my Desktop and my Laptop on the network to share Internet and files and printers. I have WinXP (no SP3) on the desktop and Vista (no SP1) on the laptop. I have my harddrive partitioned into 3 and share the "E" drive with the laptop. This has worked fine for a long time, but lately, I cannot access the desktop "E" drive from the laptop. To check to see if the two machines were seeing each other, I "ping" the laptop from the desktop and get timeouts. I "ping" the desktop from the laptop - and the ping doesn't do anything - just sits there with the ping command and takes no action after hitting enter. I'm not sure whatelse to provide you all to get some assistance on this problem, but if anyone has any advice, I would appreciate it. If you need more information, let me know and I will pass it on. Thanks Charlie ****************************************************** Charliec Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288156

    - Can't Ping My Laptop sI use my laptop on both a corporate microsoft network and on a home microsoft network. At either location, others can PING my laptop only when I am booted into the "SAFE Mode with Networking". I have tried using 'msconfig' to load all services exactly as they are enabled for the SAFE Mode but user are unable to PING me in that configuration, even from the local sub-net(no SYSTEM.INI, WIN.INI or STARTUP files are being processed or loaded). The Widows firewall shows to be disabled and no anti-virus, anti-spam etc. are being loaded. Other symptoms ... possibly related: * unable to load and run Windows Live Mail Client * HP All In One Printer will not recognize my pc on the network for scanning but I can print * Corporate HELP desk cannot connect to me with remote 'shadowing' * There was a time 4 months ago when all of this worked ... including PING from other users. kg Tag: WorkStation Keeps Disconnecting Tag: 288147

My windows xp work station keeps disconnecting from my file server map
drives. It seems that when I logout and log back in and try to access my
network drives it tells me that either my username or password is not
correct. I try rebooting and logging in again, but it does not work. The
only option I have is to change my ip address, and then it works. Can anyone
help me with this. Thanks very much.
