I had been running win 2000 pro with my wifi XP pro laptop, I wanted to
share my internet connection from desktop which runs internet connected via
Ethernet LAN card.
I inserted the IP address, the subnet, default gate, preferences, alt DNS
server ID's in TCP/IP which enables me to connect to the internet. On the
desktop the internet is running fine.
I shared both computer via administrator accounts using the same workgroups,
190.100.10.1 for desktop 190.100.10.2 for laptop it was working without
internet sharing, this worked fine for few hours, then I shared my internet
& while doing so I had a warning that by default that the IP will be set to
use 192.168.0.1 & i will loose the connectivity, else use the static IP
given by your administrator.
On doing so I got internet sharing but have lost the network sharing, now I
cannot share the 2 computers as it gives me an error "you might not have
permission to use this network resource" which I fail to understand from
where & what permission is it asking when I am signed with administrative
rights on both machines, the guest account on XPpro laptop is also enabled.
Then I tried the following
Click start go to run and type in \\190.100.10.2 did this from both
computers for each other.
Doing so i can see the shared folders on the other computer now, so finally
something works, yet I cannot see the computers in the network. Now I have
made a shared folder on both computers & I send the files to that shared
folder & can see it on both computers, so as of now with this method I am
able to surf the net as well as share the files/ folders but indirect way.
I cannot yet see the 2 computers in the network directly but they are
pinging to each other perfectly.
On both computers I get "workgroup not accessible" error for some reason,
other wise normally I can see desktop on desktop & laptop on laptop under
network neighborhood, where as both the desktop & laptop should be visible
on each other & I should be able to access it.
I am using zyxel G-220 on both computers reviewed here
http://www.slcentral.com/g-220-wireless-usb-stick/
1.I am using the latest driver for zyxel V2.0
2.zonalarm on both computers with IP range mentioned (switching off the
firewall does not solve the problem)
3.avg antivirus on both computers
4. Workgroup is same on both "WORKGROUP"
5. Signed on desktop win 2000 SP4 as "ADMINISTRATOR" NO PASSWORD
6. Signed on laptop XPP SP1 as "RANJAN" with administrative rights, no
password.
7. Guest account disabled on both, enabling them does not help either, yet
the indrect sharing is working,.
8. IP settings
desktop 190.100.10.1
subnet 255.255.255.0
laptop 190.100.10.2
subnet 255.255.255.0
Still scratching my head, will I get some solution........I am hopeful.
