File/resource sharing problem over existing wireless network

"The restrictanonymous and restrictanonymoussam registry keys are unchanged
at 1."

I just re-read this...

You need to set RestrictAnonymous on both PCs to 0.

Leave restrictanonymoussam alone, though.

Sorry, ignore that last message about restrictanonymous.. I read further
down the thread and saw we went there already.

I am curious how you have these machines configured. You have a wireless USB
NIC on the desktop, and you have the cable modem plugged directly into the
laptop and are using another NIC on the laptop to share that connection.

Does the laptop have built-in wireless and you are in Ad-Hoc mode with the
wireless NICs?

That's just bad jo-jo with regards to wireless security.

Although the Node Type shouldn't matter, I'd feel better seeing your Node
Type set to Unknown. To do this, on each PC, run the registry editor, open
this key:

HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parame ters

and delete these values if they're present:

NodeType
DhcpNodeType

Reboot, then try IPCONFIG /ALL again to see if the Node Type has changed to
UNKNOWN on both PCs. If so, try to access the network again.

The original configuration was laptop with built-in wireless, desktop with
Linksys wireless USB adapter and Linksys wireless broadband router (acting as
an access control point only). The wireless network was set up with a unique
SSID (not "Linksys"!) and WEP key, so my understanding was that security was
okay. Initially, I ran this for file and printer sharing only until I was
due to get broadband.

However, when broadband arrived a couple of months ago, it came with a USB
modem, so I couldn't plug the Linksys wireless broadband router into it. As
a temporary measure, I connected the broadband modem to the laptop, so the
Linksys router continued to act as an access point only. The bridge on the
laptop was configured for wireless and local area connection so that I could
connect directly to the Linksys box to configure/reconfigure when necessary.

This set up worked until the laptop hard disk crashed.

I've made the changes to both machines -- NodeType was not present on either
but DhcpNodeType has been set to zero and the machines rebooted. Ipconfig
now shows "Node Type: Unknown" on both machines.

I still have the problem.

Regards,

Clive.

PS In the spirit of trying to keep things simple, I had intended changing
the USB broadband modem/Linksys router combination for an integrated wireless
router/modem in the New Year (broadband modems with Ethernet ports seem
almost as expensive and integrated units in the UK). I'd value your thoughts.

If I understand correctly, the laptop has XP PRO and is inaccessible from
the desktop which has XP HOME.

Windows XP Pro: two policies can be found in Control Panel, Performance and
Maintenance, Administrative Tools, Local Security Policy (or click Start,
Run, and enter: gpedit.msc), expand Computer configuration, Windows
settings, Security settings, Local policies, Assign user rights, then search
for the two policies named:
a.. Access this computer from the network
b.. Deny access to this computer from the network
Double-click on the second one. It usually contains a SUPPORT user. Some
third party software adds Guest or some other user or group here.

If Guest is included, guest access (all users who do not have an account
with the same username and password on the target computer) from other
computers is not possible and yields the above-mentioned error message.
Remove Guest and all other groups or users who should be able to access this
computer over the network. The SUPPORT user entry may remain in place.

In the policy, "Access this computer from the network" make sure that the
group Everyone is included. If not, add it as a new, last line under the
other entries.

Let me know if this helps.

Some success!

The "Deny access.." policy only had a SUPPORT user in it BUT the "Access
this computer..." policy was blank. I added a group "Everyone" and can now
see the laptop from the desktop. Thanks for getting me this far.

However, the desktop cannot see the broadband connection. I've rerun the
network wizard on the desktop just in case and reselected "This computer
connects to the Internet through another computer". I've rebooted both
machines. The laptop is connected to broadband but the desktop shows a
standard Internet Connection icon which is "Disconnected". Previously, I
could see the broadband icon on the desktop.

FYI -- the broadband advanced properties on the laptop have been set for
internet connection sharing (all three boxes checked). Nothing is checked in
the "settings" option. I didn't set anything via this option before (so I
can't say whether anything was checked previously or not).

Thanks

Clive.

Not sure if this will help but I would delete the network bridge



I would Disable DHCP in the router



If you are going to us ICS then Windows ICS will give out the IP address



If you are going to use a network bridge then you would have to but in the
Default Gateway in witch I think? Is the Ip address of the USB modem and DNS
Severs from USB modem you as well the Network card in the desktop would have
to be set up manual with ip address as well Default Gateway and DNS Severs I
am not sure if Default Gateway Ip address Is that USB modem or the ip off
the network bridge

Carey

WE HAVE A RESULT!!!!

I cannot thank you enough for your help. I went looking on the site
www/michna.com/kb/wxnet.htm that you referenced in your last reply and it
pointed me to the "Truobleshooting ICS on Microsoft Windows XP" document from
Microsoft. Then both you and Steve asked me questions about the router and
BINGO!

Here's the final piece of the solution.....

Set the IP address of the laptop to 192.168.0.1 (the network wizard set it
to this but I had changed it to 1.92.168.1.100 to be in the same range as the
router).
Set the IP address of the router to 192.168.0.254 (from 192.168.1.1)
Disable DHCP on the router.
Reset allowable IP range on McAfee firewall on both PCs.

Laptop now acts as ICS host computer. Desktop picks up IP address from
laptop, and not the router.

I now have no idea how my original set up ever worked. Perhaps I hadn't set
the laptop as an ICS host, but the desktop still managed to find the internet
connection somehow...

Thanks again for your help. I am indebted to you (and my kids can now get
back to instant messaging their friends!).

All the best,

Clive.
