T41p & Network names

#1 Post by huda » Wed Aug 25, 2004 11:28 am

I have this weird problem with my T41p TC1GEAT:
It is not capable of resolving computers within the LAN. So instead of accessing my data with \\server\data I have to enter \\10.10.10.4\data - and thats not only at home, its also at the office, by friends and even when I go wardriving!
I updated access conntections and my WLAN drivers to the latest versions - didn't help.
The whole thing wouldnt bother me if that stupid DHCP of mine wouldnt handle my IP addresses like a roulette ball and randomly decide when to change which computers IP...

I hope there is a solution for this.... thanks

This is probably a DNS issue.

1 : Which OS do you use.
2 : What is the result of doing an "ipconfig /all".
3 : Do you use a firewall.
4 : Have you made a record for your machine in yours "hosts" file.
5 : Are you using DHCP assigned or a fixed address DNS.

I doubt that they are the cause of the problem.

This doesn't make any sense, which machine/server is responsable for DHCP, is it a computer or a router.
It would be necassary to know a little more about the DHCP ranges, the DNS allocated and the duration of a newly assigned address.

3. Firewall
Yes, I use the firewall that is built in the Netgear Router WGT624 which is also WAN router and DHCP

4. record
No and I have no idea what you are talking about :)

5. DHCP
Everythings being assigned from DHCP.


I dont think the problem is the router as all of my notebooks (T40, T41p, T41, T42p and X40) have no problems there....

1 : What happens when you "ping server".
2 : Do the following

Note your IpAdress somewhere :
"ipconfig /release"
"ipconfig /renew"
"ipconfig /all"

Normally the DHCP serve will renew your lease and "Normally" will return you the same IpAddress as long as your Mac Address hasn't change.

3 : Something a little strange, You are using IpAdresses that are normally used on Class A Networks but with a Class C Subnet masK. It shouldn't cause any problems it just a little unusual to see "10.x.x.x" with "255.255.255.0"

1: That happens
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\huda>ping s02
Ping-Anforderung konnte Host "s02" nicht finden. Überprüfen Sie den Namen, und versuchen Sie es erneut.

meaning Host s02 not found...

2: I tried that before

3: Thats just an old habit from the network I had 8 years ago.

Huda,

From this listing your machines appears to be called "T41p" and not "SO2" or "Server".

Can you "ping T41p"

ah sorry... heres the right one and it works.

Huda,

So now you can access your machine with \\T41p\Data.

I can access my machine from my machine, but I cannot access any other computer by name.

T41p can access \\T41P\XXX

Server cannot access \\T41P\XXX, only \\10.10.10.3\XXX

T41p cannot access \\SERVER\DATA, only \\10.10.10.10\DATA

what is your "netbios over TCPIP" setting under TCP/IP properties for that connection?

if netbios is off, you won't be able to go by name unless you have a real DNS server (that is doing dynamic updates to DNS for DHCP clients).

Under TCP/IP / WINS
NetBios in TCP/IP is set to "Standard". This option says that if the DHCP does not offer NetBios, it will activate NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

There is also two more options to Activate and to Deactrive NetBIOS. I tried both, no joy there..

There is also a checkbox for LMHOSTS, its not checked. I tried with and without LMHOSTS, no difference.

Huda,

Ok Netbios is obviously running and listening , port 139.

Can you do the following

1 : net view Server
2 : net view SO2

(Normally you should see something like the following

Share name Type Used as Commen

-----------------------------------
C Disk
D Disk
DESKTOP Disk
****** Disk
Shared ****** Disk (UNC)
SharedDocs Disk
The command completed successfully.

/**********************************************
if these commands fail try doing the same thing but replace the names with their respective IPaddress.

If neither works try the following and retry

Check to see whether NetBIOS settings are taken from the DHCP server, or whether NetBIOS is enabled or disabled. If you are using DHCP for this host computer, select Use NetBIOS setting from the DHCP server. Otherwise, select enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

Huda,

Does the problem only exist with the Wlan connection or does it also exist with the RJ45 Cabled connection.

Can you "telnet T41P 139" from the Server or from SO2, if the telnet is successful you should see nothing but a blank screen otherwise yill get a failure message of some kind.

The Problem occurs with Wlan and RJ45 connected.
And telnet t41p 139 wont connect...

net view s02 gives me System error 53 - Networkpath not found.
same with any other target in the network..


What can this be? I'm using a standard Preload, standard network settings, no firewall or anything installed in the TP, its just a normal XP installation!
