Re: Node Type - XP Home Small Network Setup How-To hmm,well the first link wasnt much help...the steps were for windows 2000, NT, or 95...I'm running xp...
i look at the regestry values as if i were running NT, and didnt understand what i was looking for...
i went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters
but this is all i saw:
BcastNameQueryCount REG_DWORD 0x00000003(3)
BcastQueryTimeout REG_DWORD 0x000002ee(750)
CacheTimeout REG_DWORD 0c000927c0(600000)
EnableLMNHOSTS REG_DWORD 0x00000001(1)
NameServerPort REG_DWORD 0x00000089(137)
NameSrvQueryCount REG_DWORD 0x00000003(3)
NameSrvQueryTimeout REG_DWORD 0x000005dc(1500)
NbProvider REG_SZ _tcp
SessionKeepAlive REG_DWORD 0x0036ee80(3600000)
Size/Small/Medium/Large REG_DWORD 0x00000001(1)
TransportBindName REG_SZ \Device\
all this info is exactly the same for both computers
do you know what it all means? |

Most of the Windows 2000 entries are the same between these two OS's.
said by tlarkins:i went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters do you know what it all means? Most of it.  There's nothing in there that is screaming "Change Me!"

tlarkins, I know you stated in your earlier post that you had disabled your firewall... but man, it really, really sounds like what you get when a firewall is enabled and blocking somehow...
Would you double-check to make sure it is disabled, after the steps above, I would have thought for sure you'd be sharing by now.
I think you already did, but make sure file & print sharingis checked.
Now, just to make us happy, create a NEW account on both PC's with the same name called "newaccount" or whatever, but make sure it's completely different from the other account names you've been messing with, and make sure they have the same password. |

| windows xp firewalls for both systems are disabled
file & print sharing are enabled for both systems
both systems have new accounts and passwords that match identically (this was a royal pain)
status unchanged though.
could my router be the problem? i mean, i am using wireless for my laptop...could the router be denying access? i have looked, but haven't seen anything screaming at me. |

If the router was denying access, you would get a "cannot be reached" error. You're getting "access denied" which means that you're getting through.
Do both of these systems have the same "Node Type" when you run IPCONFIG /ALL?
