Guest Menl Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Hi, I've run into a problem with file sharing between my laptop and my desktop. It used to work perfectly. What I do is connect the two computers through a cross over cable. I connect from the desktop to the laptop by typing the ip adress in the file manage box. so something like \\192.xxx.xxx.xxx\d$. This used to bring up a login box (laptop is part of the company network). After this I had access to all the files on the d-drive. Now however it doesn't work anymore. I can still do a ping and that works, I can even start a remote desktop connection and that works too. But a simple filesharing connection is not possible. I don't know if it matters but I've updated the laptop to SP3 but the desktop is still SP2. Any ideas for solving this a very welcome.

Your statement "simple filesharing connection is not possible" doesn't tell us a great deal. What actually happens when you try? Try the following: - Click Start / Run / cmd {OK} - Type this command: net use Q: \\192.xxx.xxx.xxx\d${Enter} By the way, your 192... addresses are internal addresses. They are invisible to the rest of the world. There is no risk whatsoever in publishing them. You'll probably find that you share those same addresses with thousands of other people.
Guest Menl Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Re: Unable to share files over crossover cable anymore What I meant with that simple file sharing is the method I described in my message. I type the address of the laptop so \\192.168.0.192\d$ and after a while I get the following error: "\\192.168.0.192 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request" BTW the ping command and remote desktop still work!! I used the net use command you suggested and got the error: "System error 1311 has occurred. There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request." I hope this clarifies the issue "Pegasus (MVP)" wrote: > > "Menl" <Menl@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:C0418546-DE17-4433-97CA-6CF899B9FFF1@microsoft.com... > > Hi, > > > > I've run into a problem with file sharing between my laptop and my > > desktop. > > It used to work perfectly.

Guest Menl Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Re: Unable to share files over crossover cable anymore I did a search on the error code I got using your suggestion of the use of net use. The error code was 1311. I found something about using the wrong credentials and the solution was to use the Map network drive on the tools menu in explorer. The key was to click on logon as different user. I filled in the right credentials and voila it worked. Now it works as well the old way I used it. So I still don't know what caused it to not work properly anymore but it is neverteless fixed.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Re: Unable to share files over crossover cable anymore The key to your problem is the error message you have now quoted. It looks like your TCP/IP settings are incorrect. If you type the phrase "There are currently no logon servers" into the second box of the advanced Google search box then you get around 10,000 hits. One of those on the first page is likely to have the answer for your problem.
