OT: Win2k \ Win98SE Networking \ ICS Problem

Hi all, Hi guys, I've tried getting a response from various networking ng's regarding this problem but without any luck so hope you don't mind my posting it here seeing as I have always got such good advice before. I have been trying to set up my 2 PC's at home so that I can access the drives of each PC from each other and also share the ADSL connection of my main PC with the second one. I have this working fine with Win ME on the Host and Win 98SE on the client but the host dual boots to Win2K and from there although I can access the drives of the client I can't do it the other way around and access the drives of the host from the client. I get the following error message:- \\???? is not accessible. No permission to access resource (where ???? is the name I have given to the host computer). From the host I right click on one of the drives and it says it is being shared but if I click on Permissions it says:- This has been shared for administrative purposes. The permissions cannot be set. How do I make it so that I can read the host pc's drives from the client?? Also, I am unable to use the ADSL connection from the client whilst in Win2k... With the Win2K machine connected to the net the client just can't seem to find that connection and can't load any web pages or access any e-mail. I have the Win2k machine setup to use ICS and have the sharing icon showing in the taskbar on the host but the client won't connect. Hope someone can offer some help. TIA PH

Not sure if I'm heading in the right direction here but ... To share the files, try this. Open Administrative tools, Local security policy. Right click on the rights (access this computer from the network) Click add user then select "everyone". See if that works.

You may want to use a second protocol on your inside LAN as well. I'd recommend NetBEUI. It's fast and easy.

I was going to recommend that as well, but the site I pointed the original poster to recommends not using it. "Among the installed components listed in the General tab, the following should be checked here Client for Microsoft Networks Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) If NetBEUI is checked for this connection, un-check it now. It's not needed, and may prevent ICS from working. " I suppose it's a case of try it and see if it works. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers> "+G�" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1AZe7.11814$[email hidden]... > You may want to use a second protocol on your inside LAN as well.

Peter, I had the exact same problem when I tried to set up ICS. It's actually a couple of issues, and I think I remember how I worked through each of them. I'm using a dual boot WinME/Win2k Server as host and WinSE as client. I don't think that makes much difference. There are probably a dozen ways to work through each of these issues, but here goes what worked for me. > \\???? is not accessible. No permission to access resource (where ???? > is the name I have given to the host computer). To deal with this, I added my user name to the list of permissions for the share. I also made sure that on my client (winSE) machine I am logged in as the same user. But you're having a problem adding permissions to a share, yes? See below. > From the host I right click on one of the drives and it says it is > being shared but if I click on Permissions it says:- > > This has been shared for administrative purposes. The permissions > cannot be set. You want to click the new share button. Right click the drive, select sharing, then down toward the bottom of the dialog box there's a button just above the Apply button that allows you to add a new share. Once you add the new share name, you can add permssions to it. You can't add permissions to the default share "C$". > Also, I am unable to use the ADSL connection from the client whilst in > Win2k...

Best I can offer is to tell how mine is set up. First, I have NetBEUI and TCP/IP added. If you go to Advanced> Advanced Settings from the Network and Dial-up Connections window, you can define bindings. On the NIC for my internet connection, I have NetBEUI bound to file and print sharing and Client for MS networks. On the NIC for my local connection, I have both NetBEUI and TCP/IP bound to file and print sharing and Client for MS networks. Good luck!

I log on to the Win98SE machine under the same name as I do on the Win2k machine so I am assuming that this does mean I am logged on as administrator.. how do I check though? Thanks PH On Fri, 17 Aug 2001 13:22:13 +1000, "Guy Leach" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Thanks Tim, I'm just on my way to work now but will try what you suggest as soon as I get home and let you know how it goes. Thanks PH On Thu, 16 Aug 2001 22:08:54 -0700, "Tim Elhajj" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Hmm, I log on to my client machine (Win ME) with the same user name but a different password. I can still connect to the Win 2000 machine. However, I think I have to be logged onto the win 2000 machine as administrator, but don't hold me to that. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers> "Peter Hooper" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I log on to the Win98SE machine under the same name as I do on the > Win2k machine so I am assuming that this does mean I am logged on as > administrator.. how do I check though? > > Thanks > > PH > > On Fri, 17 Aug 2001 13:22:13 +1000, "Guy Leach" > <[email hidden]> wrote: > > >Also you need to log on in Win98 machine as administrator.

It shouldn't interfere with ICS which should only use TCP/IP. I mentioned NETBEUI in regards to File & Printer sharing. You can adjust what protocols are actually bound for File & Printer sharing under the advanced bindings section of the network properties. If you're PC is also directly connected to the Internet, I would disable TCP/IP as being bound to file and printer sharing and use NetBEUI instead on your home LAN. Doing so makes your machine a little more secure as well.
