Solve the Problem of Win XP Network Neighbor sharing

There are many factors that make Windows XP Network neighbors fail to browse correctly or browse the list completely. To solve the problem, you must take the right medicine. The diagnosis process involves two steps: test the basic connection and solve the file sharing problem.

1. solve basic connection problems.

1. Check the physical connection between computers.

The NIC is the basic device for network connection. In the desktop computer, the indicator light behind each Nic should be on, which indicates that the connection is normal. If the link is not on, check that the hub or switch is on, and the indicator light for each client connection is on. This indicates that the link is normal. Next, check whether the crystal head of the network cable is in good contact.

2. Make sure that TCP/IP is installed on all computers and works properly.

TCP/IP is installed by default in Windows XP. However, if a network problem occurs, it is not easy to reinstall TCP/IP after uninstalling it: click the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item in the following project list on the "local connection" attribute. You will find that the unmount button is unavailable (disabled ).

This is because the Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Stack is a core component of Microsoft XP/2003 and cannot be deleted. In this case, if you need to reinstall TCP/IP to restore the TCP/IP stack to its original state. You can use the NetShell utility to reset the TCP/IP stack and restore it to the status when the operating system is installed for the first time. Method: ENTER the following command at the command prompt, and press ENTER: netsh int ip reset c: esetlog.txt. In this case, resetlog.txt specifies the log file that records the command result, the Resetlog.txt log file and complete path are specified here. The result of running this command is the same as that of deleting and re-installing the TCP/IP protocol.

In addition, no one will use 95. By default, the TCP/IP protocol is not automatically installed in WIN95.

3. Check the IP address

There are several situations:

• To check whether the IP addresses of different computers are in the same range, input IPCONFIG/ALL in MSDOS mode. If the IP address received by one computer is within the range of 192.168.0.x and the IP address received by the other computer is within the range of 169.254.x.y, You need to determine which address is correct based on the network topology. Then, solve the problem of the computer with the wrong address in a centralized manner.
• About 169.254.x.y IP Address
  If there is no Internet connection, or each computer has a separate Internet connection (dial-up connection or broadband connection ). In this configuration, the computer usually assigns itself an IP address within the range of 169.254.x.y (where x and y are numbers between 1 and 254 ). Use the IP address provided by the ISP for Internet connection.
• About 192.168.0.X
  A computer is connected to a shared Internet by using an Internet connection. The connection can be a dial-up connection or broadband connection (generally xDSL or cable modem ). This computer is also called a proxy server. Common proxies include SYGATE, WINGATE, NAT, ISA, and CCPROXY. Usually, the proxy server is responsible for assigning IP addresses to other computers in the home network. The computer that shares the connection should configure the IP address 192.168.0.1 for the NIC connected to the home network. The address of other computers on the network should be in the range of 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254 ). Of course, you can modify the IP address after successful sharing, such as 10. X.Y. Z.
  The computer is connected to the hub, and the hub is connected to the Internet through a broadband connection. This configuration is also called borderless network. In this configuration, each computer in the home network has an IP address provided by the Internet service provider (ISP. The IP address varies by ISP. The borderless network is a special case. In this case, ICF should be used, but other measures must be taken to enable the connection in the home network.

4. Run the ping command to test the connection between the two computers in the network:

Ping the IP addresses of other computers. In the command prompt, type ping x. x. x. x (where x. x. x. x is the IP address of another computer), and then press ENTER. You can see several replies from another computer, such:

Reply from x. x: bytes = 32 time <1 ms TTL = 128

If you do not see these answers or see "Request timed out", the local computer may have a problem. If the ping command is successfully executed, you are sure that the computer can be correctly connected. You can skip the next step. If you do not see these answers or see "Request timed out", the local computer may have a problem. PING the local IP address. If "Request timed out" is displayed, the local computer may be faulty.

5. Run the ping command to test whether the name resolution in the network is normal.

Ping computername, where computername is the name of the remote computer. Use the ping command to test the computer connection. To determine the computer name, enter SYSTEMINFO in the command prompt. Alternatively, right-click my computer-properties on the desktop and click the computer name tab. If you see a successful response to this command, you have a basic connection and name resolution between computers. Name resolution is closely related to NETBIOS. refer to the following steps.

6. Analyze logs

Check for errors in any steps in the "Network Installation Wizard" log file that have not been successfully executed. To open the log, click Start and run, type % SystemRoot % sw. log, and press ENTER. If the Nsw. log file does not provide information about the problem, check the error in the system log and find out the cause of the error.

Solve file and printer sharing problems

1. Correctly install network components

First, right-click "Network Neighbor"-"properties" and select the NIC to be shared. Set the IP address to the same CIDR Block of the LAN. For example, 192.168.0.X. Check whether NETBIOS is enabled in the Advanced properties of TCP/IP. In a network system built using WINNT4.0, the unique identifier of each host is its NetBIOS name, the system uses WINS service, information broadcast mode, and Lmhost file to resolve NetBIOS names to corresponding IP addresses for information communication. In the internal network system (also known as the LAN), it is very convenient and fast to use NetBIOS name for information communication. However, the unique identifier information of a host on the Internet is its FQDN format domain name (such as www.163.com). On the Internet, DNS standards are used to resolve the domain name to the corresponding IP address, WIN2K supports dynamic DNS. machines running the Active Directory Service can dynamically update the DNS table. The WINS service is no longer needed in the WIN2K network, but WIN2K still supports WINS, which is due to backward compatibility. Currently, most networks are hybrid networks, including systems such as Win98 and WINXP and WIN2K. Therefore, NETBIOS must be bound to the TCP/IP protocol to resolve the computer name.

Check whether the "file and print service" component is selected. If it is deselected, "Browse service" is not bound to the NetBIOS interface. A Windows-based computer that becomes a backup browser and does not enable "file and print sharing" cannot share the browsing list with the client. Any computer that will be included in the browsing list must also enable "file and print sharing ".

Start the "Computer Browser" Service

The Computer Browser Service maintains a computer update list on the network and provides this list to the computer designated as the browser. If the service is stopped, the list is neither updated nor maintained.

Start the "Computer Browser" Service

Click Start, right-click my computer, and click manage.
In the console tree, expand "services and applications ".
Click service.
In the details pane on the right, check whether the "Computer Browser" service is started, right-click the computer browser, and then click Start.
Close the "Computer Management" window.

3. view shared folders

Click Start and run, type fsmgmt. msc, and then click OK. In the left pane, click share. The shared folder list appears in the right pane. Write down the corresponding sharing name for each computer.

4. Use the Guest account

Windows XP's Guest account allows others to use your computer, but does not allow them to access specific files or install software. For Windows XP Home Edition computers or working groups
