Node on peer network can't ping
One node in existing peer-to-peer network is connected and displyed in network neighborhood but cannot enter in that node. The node can't ping both sides. pls. help out.
Expert's answerCan the node ping anything? Start by checking physical connectivity, then make sure that the network addresses are correct. Move on to ensuring that the login credentials you are using to connect match on the remote computer in network neighborhood. Using NetBIOS over TPC can be problematic over the open Internet but shouldn't be a problem on a LAN. Double check to make sure that you are using the same version of the NTLM authentication protocol in your network settings at both ends. Make sure the Server, Browser, and Workstation services are running. Reboot everything in sight and try again; especially if you are using Windows VPN services in this ptp network. Make sure the network allows traffic on the appropriate ports. You might also try turning on Remote Access in the My Computer properties dialog and then attempting to connect using Remote Desktop. |
Wake up and hear the ping Steve
This is not a Netbios or authentication issue. The PC shows up in the network neigborhood. This is a TCP/IP or physical layer issue. Check the switch lights, try a new port, try a new cable, reinstall the TCP/IP, network drivers. You could also have a duplicate TCP/IP address.
