Can't browse server shares


Recommended Posts

Guest LincolnIT

We have about 6 Windows XP machines that suddenly cannot browse the server

shares on the DC. These computers are not running the login scripts from the

server automatically and I think this is why. Other XP machines are not

having this issue.

 

If you try to browse to the server using its ip address the shares do

appear. I've tried the following with no success:

-using a host file with the servername and ip address

-enabling netbios over ip

-ipconfig /flushdns

Re: Can't browse server shares

 

Hello LincolnIT,

 

Are this machines domain members? Is the firewall enabled on them?

Re: Can't browse server shares

 

All are domain members.

 

The unit I was troubleshooting did not have the firewall turned on.

Hello LincolnIT,

 

Please post an ipconfig /all from one of the machines and the DC/DNS server.

 

Best regards

Re: Can't browse server shares

 

Hello LincolnIT,

 

The server looks ok. But from the client remove the 167.x.x.x addresses (your

ISP's DNS server? and if yes) add them as forwarder to the DNS server properties

in the DNS management console. After that you can also browse the internet

but the client will always look to the internal DNS and then the share problem

should be gone.

 

Best regards

Re: Can't browse server shares

 

I understand your thinking with this, but its strange how ALL of the

computers have the same settings for DNS but only a few are having this

issue. I will try anyway to manually set DNS for the internal server and see

what happens.

 

If this does not resolve is there something else you would look at?

Re: Can't browse server shares

 

Still no luck, to make matters more interesting, I found one pc that could

only display one share off of the server I'm trying to browse.

Re: Can't browse server shares

 

Hello LincolnIT,

 

How do you configure the clients, DHCP server or fixed ip's?

Re: Can't browse server shares

 

Hello LincolnIT,

 

Are some of you're shares hidden? Do you use Access based Enumeration from

MS? This will use the security configuration from user accounts to show only

share's for that they have the right security configuration.

 

Best regards

Re: Can't browse server shares

 

One of the shares is netlogon and that certainly is not hidden. I can access

all the shares if the ip address of the server is used instead of the

hostname.

 

All clients use DHCP.
