Hello,
in our company we have visitors who need to connect their laptops to our LAN
and copy some files to one of our servers.
The visitors have an own subnet (192.168.0.) that is connected to our LAN
(10.1.0) via a router.
In our LAN there is a server with a share. The share permissions are set to
FULL for everybody and for anonymous (on share-level and on NTFS level)
The visitors' laptops are XP clients and use DHCP. They are not part of our
domain. They have no DNS settings.
Ping between the subnets works.
On the visitor's laptop I try to connect to the server's share using
\\10.1.0.100\share
As a test I have also have tried to use hosts\lmhosts and have used
\\servername\share
I have expected the the laptop would prompt for a username\password dialog
when trying the connect to the share... but:
When I try connect with the browser or NET USE to the share then it fails
with errors like this:
"No network provider accepted the given network path"
"network path was not found"
What could be the reason that the laptops can not connect to the server's
share ?
Win2003Server XP (visitor's laptop)
Domain-Member ------ Router ------ not a Domain member
10.1.0.100 192.168.0.100 (DHCP
client)
\\10.1.0.100\share exists Firewall enabled, but
File\Printservice allowed
share permissions FULL everybody no DNS settings
NTFS permissions FULL everybody
no firewall enabled
Thank you
Heinz
