    - Mapped file share unavailable within seconds I can map a file share on an XP Home PC on my LAN. I can then see all the subfolders and files on the share. But within a minute or less, that share then becomes unavailable. Now if I try to map the same share, there is a delay followed by an error "the network path \\system\share could not be found After a few hours (and no other action need be taken), the above is repeatable - Ican map the share again, but only for about a minute before it becomes unavailable. I get the same behavior when attempting to map the share from two different PCs, both running XP Home also. Reboots of both the clients and the server machines make no difference. I've never seen such odd behavior and would appreciate help to resolve. Thanks. Tag: Map network drive Tag: 288060

    - .rra files?? Hello I have set up my main computer to run on a wired connection from a Zyxel wireless router and everything is fine. I have also successfully connected to my wireless router using my laptop. The Zyxel wireless router also came with a USB plug in wireless adapter device which I thought I would use for the computer in the next room. This computer is quite old but is USB capable. I put the Zyxel installation CD to install the wireless adapter device in the CD tray and it loaded and the drivers and utility box were already checked. I clicked continue but it put up the following error: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers/BRGSeed0.rra and the only way forward was to abort installation. I restarted, tried again and the same thing happened. I have never heard of .rra files. Could someone please try to explain what this error is and how do I solve it. Many thanks Andrew -- AW Tag: Map network drive Tag: 288054

    - No data in "Network Connections" Strange but true... I cannot open the "Network Setup Wizard". I go to Control Panel and double-click the "Network Setup Wizard" icon and get no response at all. When I open "Network Connections", I get a warning that "The Network Connections Folder was unable to retrieve the list of network adapters on your machine. Make sure that the Network Connections service is enabled and running". I have a working Internet connection - a wireless setup with a Linksys router. I set it up on this machine (a desktop with Windows XP Home SP2) 3 years ago and it has worked well ever since. At the time that I went wireless with the desktop, I remember going through and changing several settings in order to ease my mind concerning security issues... I turned off the file sharing, etc., as I only had the one computer. I recently purchased a laptop and was trying to set up file sharing between it and the desktop through the router and it seems that I need access to either the "Network Setup Wizard" or at least be able to see the current network connection in order to change the settings and allow the desktop to communicate with the laptop. I had some components replaced on the desktop motherboard a couple years ago and the tech didn't return my recovery disc. He has since closed up shop and I have no idea how to contact him. I would be happy to provide more info if it would help. Any constructive thoughts would be appreciated :-) Tag: Map network drive Tag: 288052

    - MS VPN won't connect. I have a user that has a laptop that can access the internet just fine. However I can't get an MS VPN to work from the laptop either wireless or ethernet. If I use another computer on the same network going through the same router the connections work just fine. So I know it is not the VPN Server. Also the windows firewall has been disabled on the laptop. Since the other computer is going through the same router I know that the router's firewall settings are not the issue. I got a log file and it appears to be a registry issue. However, I have never seen this error before so I was wondering if anyone else has and how they went about fixing it. The log file is below. It is from using netsh ras set tracing ipnathlp enable. Thanks, Susan Conger [1924] 13:16:03: NatpRasManOnNotify: received change notification from RasMan.

    - One laptop won't connect We have four computers connecting via our Netgear router. Two are connected via cable and two laptops via wireless. Now one of the will connect to the home network (in that I can access the shared files on the other pcs etc) but won?t connect to the internet. I?ve checked and triple checked the settings and they seem fine. I gave up and set up a new wireless network and the other laptop connected without any problems at all but again this one just won?t. I changed the IP to a static IP address with no success, I?ve turned off the firewall. Any ideas? Tag: Map network drive Tag: 288038

    - Can I connect a wireless router to an existing 8 port switch? I have to do work in a doctor's office. He has DSL going to an 8 port Netgear switch. All switches are being used. He needs to share a printer with 3 computers. He doesn't mind wired or wireless but since all ports on the switch are being used, then we are leaning towards wireless but don't know how to do that since we don't have a wireless router, becuase it's wired.

    - A public Wi-Fi enigma A strange thing sometimes happens when I use the free Wi-Fi at the local public library :- Internet Explorer and Firefox will often stop connecting and display the respective <web-page not found> error messages. Outlook Express also says <the server could not be found>. The issue resolves itself within a few minutes. Other users have this problem too, so there is nothing wrong with my laptop. However, during all such interruptions, uTorrent would keep working merrily as if nothing has happened. What is its secret? Is it related to Windows XP, or the wireless network set-up at the library? Or something else? This is a Windows XP Pro SP3 unit, BTW. Regards and thanks in anticipation for any insights. RR --- Tag: Map network drive Tag: 288024

    - Wireless on a MacBook running XP I have a couple of Macs that run Windows XP. Everything runs fine with them except I cannot connect to my secured wireless network. The network is secured with WPA2 and MAC authentication. When I attempt to connect tthe the network I get a message that says the network cannot be reached or is out of range. If I create the network connection manually I am not able to connect at all. Is this a Windows XP issue or a Macintosh running XP issue? Tag: Map network drive Tag: 288022

    - "Windows is increasing the size of Virtual Memory" - Why??? I'm occasionally getting messages in WinXP Pro that Windows is increasing the size of virtual memory... but my system has 2Gig of RAM, and every time I get this message I see that I have about 1.3Gig of RAM available (according to Sysinternals Process Explorer). Isn't WinXP supposed to use up my RAM before going to the swap file? Why get this message when so much RAM is available? Tony Tag: Map network drive Tag: 288019

    - Which API to use to display "Select Users or Groups" dialogbox? Hi All. Could you please help me? I need to display standard dialogbox - "Select Users or Groups" to choose a user account (usually domain user account, but not always - local user accounts could be used too). So, user should choose a user account and click [OK] then my application saves name (or SID) of selected user account in remote database. Selected user account here is not related to any object in Windows (like file or anything also), it is just a user account to be enabled to login to a system (not Windows). In other words - want to make Windows users login to non-Windows system. Idea is - administrator selects a number of user accounts enabled to login to a system (non- Windows), these user accounts saved in database, then (when login) users submit own account name to a system, it makes select from db and see if this account enabled to login... Everithing is working ok, expect selecting user account, I want to display standard dialogbox but dunno how to do this... I dig out MSDN but unfortunately have not found any such API. :-( I'm trying to experimenting with EditSecurity function from AclUI.dll but seems it is quite complex and I'm not sure if it will really display the dialogbox I need? If you have any ideas on this, could you please share with me? Regards, Dmitry. Tag: Map network drive Tag: 288014

    - Setting program for internet access At one time I had set up which type of internet access I wanted windows to use if a program called for internet access. At the time I only had a dial up access through AOL. I now have a DSL access and want to change that preference to use dial up only as a last resort. I do not remember where that preference was located and my computer still trys to call up AOL if a program I am using requires internet access.

    - One WIN XP compuer can't connect with RDC Hi, Hope some one can advise {RDC = Remote desktop connection.} I have 3 computers (winxp-pro SP2 all up to date) on my network. I have selected Allow RDC on all of them. I have checked that they all have the same services running/ settings ( although they also have different software installed on each unit as well). They are all connected to the same router. All have simple file sharing set up and all have passwords required to log in to each account. All accounts are administrator level accounts AND I have added the administrator accounts to the remote users group anyway ( although I believe that is not needed..) Now Unit A can "see" B & C ( Gets an active RDC connection and all goes as expected) and B can access C; C can access B as above BUT neither B or C can access A via RDC The error message is - "can not connect to the remote computer" ( tried both name and LAN ip address) Nothing in the event log of A There is no problem accessing shard folders b/w any of the computers including B access A for example. This problem seems exclusive to RDC. I have tried :- disabling anti virus AND firewall and windows defender and spybot etc etc etc on A - then I even uninstalled the Antivirus! No difference Started A in Safe mode with networking - got a "you were disconnected from the remote computer" error - before I even saw a connection had been achieved. Progress I guess but what? I guess I may have missed something obvious - but what?? PLEASE this is kinda driving me nuts :-) Short of reinstalling WIN xp - and the massive amount of software associated..... where too?

    - LAN connection not being made on boot Running XP Pro SP1 on my desktop PC for 3 yrs or so, using a BT (UK) router as my gateway. Suddenly whenever I boot the PC it no longer sees the gateway and ping doesn't work - doesn't even see itself any more. I have found that the only workaround is to use the Network Setup Wizard to create a new connection, which shows up as a Bridged Connection. If I then delete that, the ordinary LAN connection works absolutely fine! (Until I shut down, in which case I have to go through the same procedure). Why isn't the normal LAN connection extablishing itself properly any more? BTW I have two laptops both of which are still talking to the router fine, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the router (and anyway I have power-cycled that several times to no avail). Thanks for any advice! CW Tag: Map network drive Tag: 287958

    - File & Print Sharing via Wireless Access Point Hi, A little background. I have 1 PC (XP PRo SP2) connected via ethernet to a Netgear DG834GT adls/ router. I also have 2 laptops (1 XP Pro SP2 and 1 Vista HP) connected wirelessly. I also have a canon printer attached via USB to the PC. This set up works fine, internet, file and print sharing...everything. Because of inconsistent signal strength I introduced a BT Home Hub (HH) as a wireless access point (not connected to the telephone). I now connect the two laptops to the HH and the HH links wirelessly to the Netgear. I have got internet access for both laptops but can find no way of getting file and print sharing to working between the laptops and the PC. The netgear settings are: IP 192.168.0.1 Subnet 255.255.255.0 DHCP server on IP range 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.253 Channel 11 Uses WEP encryption WDS mode enabled for wireless repeater mode bridging The HH settings are IP 192.168.254 Subnet 255.255.255.0 DHCP server is off IP range 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.253 Channel 11 WDS mode enabled Firewall off On the Netgear I can see the HH and laptops are "attached devices" The two laptops can see each other, but can't see the PC The PC can't see either of the laptops No settings on the laptops have been changed All computers are part of the same MSHOME workgroup The printer is set to be shared There are folders on all computers that are shared Whatever I try just doesn't fix the problem. I keep thinking it's either the HH is not passing the network requests through (but as the firewall is off everything should be going through fine), or there is something within the Netgear that is causing the problem, but as the laptops worked fine when connected to it, I can't think what it would be. I'm totally confused. This is driving me absolutely nuts, so before I go insane could anyone of you very kind people offer any suggestions or advice please. Many thanks Malc Tag: Map network drive Tag: 287955

    - DHCP Client Have Windows XP SP2 with all the avaliable updates (critical and optional) installed. My laptop connected to a Windows SBS 2003 network with DHCP server at work and gets the IP address of 192.168.0.56 I take it home and plug it into home network, which also uses DHCP, and I get a new IP address 192.168.0.102. However, when I bring it back (shutdown and start) to the office and connect it to the network, I logon to my laptop and it takes forever to load my personal settings (10 minutes) and I do not have a roaming profile setup. Not only that, I cannot access the network or internet. as it turns out, the IP address from my home network is not being released and I am not able get get an ip address from my server at work. Once I performed ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew, then I am able to get the new IP and can access my network. I had this laptop setup as computer name ABC at one point. Then I formatted it and reinstalled everything and called it XYZ. Don't think this has anything to do with it. What is causing this problem and what is the solutions?

    - net use /persistent does not work anymore Hi, I used a mapping of the lpt2: port from a workgroup member computer with XP Home to a share of a domain member computer with XP Professional for a long time and it worked without problems. Now I had to replace this XP Professional computer by a Vista Professional computer. I used the same net use command and, as long as I don't restart the XP Home computer, the mapping works and I can print. This shows that there is no general problem with the Vista computer. The problem comes when I restart the XP Home computer. After restart a net use command on the XP Home computer shows me the mapped port, but with a "not available" in front of the line. Note that the "not available" is translated by me from the german version (the string there is exactly "Nicht verfgb") and may not match the string of the english version exactly. In order to narrow the problem I mapped a drive share on the Vista computer with net use * \\VistaComputer\share /savecred /persistent:yes on the XP Home computer and a second drive share on a NT computer with the same command. Note that I have to include credentials because the XP Home computer is not a member of the domain of the other two computers (XP Home computers cannot become domain members). Both shares are available after the net use command finished. After a restart net use shows me both shares but again with "Nicht verfgb" ("not available"). Although the first impression was that the Vista computer may be a problem the second test shows that something must have changed on the XP Home computer at the same time as I replaced the old XP Professional computer by the Vista Professional computer. It seems that the XP Home computer cannot either store the credentials or login to the domain during startup anymore. It would help me if somebody can explain where a persistent connection is stored in XP Home and how I can log the connection attempt. Now I made a recovery so that I have a really clean XP Home system now. Device manager is OK, no warnings or errors, system event log is OK, no warnings or errors, sfc /scannow completes without prompts for the setup CD. But a logged startup shows not loaded drivers. For that problem I opened a second thread, it is perhaps related to this problem (http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage&p=1&tid=86e02800-46eb-408c-bc02-efc1720a47ba&mid=86e02800-46eb-408c-bc02-efc1720a47ba).

    - Can't Map a drive after VPN'd in Hello Guru's I am having a problem using the CMAK tool and mapping network drives. I want a one click fits all for my VPN users. A file I can send them without having to walk them through an install and setting up tedious stuff like map network drives. I want the CMAK to do it for them. I am having a problem setting this up. I have hit some problems having the mapped network drive function and some general network connectivity. Ideally what I ultimately want to have happen is the CMAk tool auto map a network drive right after the connection is established. With some users I may also want a routing table update. So what I currently have is the CMAK tool logging in successfully then I have a script set to run on "Post-Connection". Here is the script, a simple batch file. net use m: "\\172.16.0.100\Company Files" Now when the script runs it says the network path is invalid. Even though you can browse to it with the same path. Also I originally wanted people to connect to the shares via the Ethernet interface 172.16.0.2. It won't let me do that and says that the path is not found, even though you can ping it after the VPN has been established. It only lets you open a network share via the PPP interface, 172.16.0.100. Seems dumb to me. Any how back to the point, when the script runs Post Connection it says network path not found. If you wait however like 15 seconds and manually run the command it works. My question is, why won't it work right after the VPN is established like CMAK is suppose to do? Also Why cant I map a network drive to 172.16.0.2, why only the PPP interface? Something so simple seems to becoming unnecessarily complicated. Tag: Map network drive Tag: 287935

    - Computer on Network Can't See Itself I have two computers on my Windows XP Home network. One is a desktop computer, which is connected by Ethernet cable to my DSL modem/router. The other computer is a laptop computer, which has a wireless adapter. For several years, I have been able to share files between the two computers. Now, however, when I go to My Network Places / Microsoft Windows Networks and select my network name, I cannot see the laptop computer from either the desktop computer or the laptop computer itself. However, from both computers, I can see the desktop computer in the network, and I can share the desktop computer's files. Internet access from the laptop computer is fine, and both computers respond to pings from the other. My wireless router sees the name of my laptop computer. I tried turning the Windows XP firewall off on both computers, but the problem persists. I am not running any other firewall software. I have run the Network Setup Wizard several times on each computer, and file sharing is still enabled for my folders on the laptop computer. Does anyone have an idea which step I can try next to fix this problem? Thank you. Tag: Map network drive Tag: 287934

After having problems with the connection, it seems to be sorted after repairing Windows and re-installing Belkin software. I also run Norton Systemworks Now downloads, incl Norton and MS updates, start off fine and then crash after quickly decreasing download times. I have tried to repair XP, Belkin re-install , and new network connections. I have tried the Firewall/Anti-virus on/off. I have put in the IP address manually as well as auto. I have tried Dial-a-Fix, System Mechanic, and a Winsock repair. Emails seem to download ok but webpages and updates slow the system to a crash. I did manage up update Ad-Aware, which found 3 minor bits, but nothing serious. The same with Defender tho I was unable to update its definitions. Oddly, I found that Ad-Aware, Defender and even Wireless Services disabled themselves, tho I could put them back to Auto. What do I have left to do other that an XP clean re-install?

    - Help with XP networking I am trying to get a small peer-to- peer network set up for file sharing. I can get everything working with the ipx/spx protocol but not with tcp/ip. There are 4 Windows XP Pro computers connected through a Lynksys router and a DSL modem that connect to the Internet fine. Someone previously installed Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) and this may be what is preventing the computers from connecting to folders on other computers and even seeing themselves in 'My Network Places'. I ran the XP Networking Wizard but it keeps saying that I am connecting through ICS no matter what I select. I have tried stopping/disabling the Firewall/ICS service but this doesn't change anything. The DSL modem apparently requires a username and password but when I try setting up a new manual connection this way I can't even connect to the Internet. How do I uninstall ICS? Could the problem be the Internet Gateway software? Do I need ICS for some reason even though there is a router? I have never worked with ICS or networking DSL before so I feel a little lost.

    - Downloading wallpaper/backgrounds Hey all - We are on a domain with user profiles. The student user profile is restricted from changing the background on the desktop with the typical right click of the mouse and clicking on properties. However, if they go to a web site that has downloadable backgrounds/wallpaper they can download a background and save it to the desktop. Of course, if I log onto the machine with the student ID I can't change the background to change it back to the default. If I log on as administrator the desktop is the default and doesn't have the picture that was downloaded. How do I find out what type of file extension the downloaded background has?

    - XP Host - Vista Client On Adhoc Network Hello, I have a problem and I really don't understand where is the problem. I have 2 laptops (wifi ready). The server is XP SP2, the client Vista Home Premium. the XP is wired connected to internet and I intend to connect Vista to internet through XP using an ad-hoc network. After I created the ad-hoc network on XP, in the list of available wireless networks i found my ad-hoc network. Vista can see the SSID (with WEP) too, but... and I try to connect from Vista to XP is not working at all! The set the 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 ip on the xp's wireless adapter, and 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 on the vista's wireless adapter; the ICS is enabled, firewall disabled, Norton Secutity uninstalled, same workgroup and so on... My question is: Where is the problem? On XP - is not capable to accept connections? Vista is not capable to connect at an ad-hoc network? On XP in event viewer I found "Association status : Fail 0x00038002" and 0x00028002 Can somebody tells me what I have to do to solve that problem?

Check your event logs. Also, your computer should be joined to the domain,
and you should be logging into the domain using a valid domain account that
has permissions to access the share (both share permissions & NTFS). If this
isn't the case, let us know - and also whether any other user is having the
problem.

Hi
Mapping a dive is possible only if the drive/folder is shared correctly.
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.
