I cannot see my shared printer drive?
in [Network and Web]
|
From: Eric on 15 May 2008 11:41 I have selected file and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks, and share my printer for public. My PC's IP is 192.168.10.10. When I type \\192.168.10.10 under window explorer, I still can see my shared printer drive. When I type \\192.168.10.20, I can see other shared printer drive on my computer. However, when I go to the PC \\192.168.10.20, I type \\192.168.10.10 under window explorer, this IP address cannot be detected, of course, I cannot see the shared printer drive too. I get no idea what it goes wrong on the network. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Eric
From: smlunatick on 15 May 2008 11:57 Check all / any firewall software settings and configur the allow exception for "File/Printer sharing." Check and make sure both PCs are part of the same workgroup / domain. Check and make sure that both PC are correctly connected to the network. (Check for Internet access.) Check and make sure that user account from 192.168.10.20 exists also on other PC.

From: uucamper on 15 May 2008 14:10 I am having the same problem. I have two computers wired to a router, which is wired to the satellite service modem. Both computers have access to the internet. #1 can ping both the router and the other computer but can't access the other computer (gets an error message that #2 is not accessible---network path was not found) #2 can ping the router but not #1. It also can see the other computer when you click on View the Workgroup but gets the same error message if you click on the #1 computer. I have checked the firewall settings (several times!) even changing the file/print sharing to specifically allow the IP addresses of my router (rather than the subnet mask). I also took the Windows Firewall off to see if that would solve the problem. It did not. I have also a McAfee Firewall installed. The Network Manager in McAfee sees and will work with the entire system. The workgroup shows up with both computers. I have internet access with both computers. How do I/what is: "Check and make sure that user account from 192.168.10.20 exists also on other PC." ????

From: Jack (MVP-Networking). on 15 May 2008 20:39 Hi Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.
