[info-tech] Help for a colleague
A guy I know just installed Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 and can't get 9 of 10 XP machines to connect. Any suggestions? We do mostly NetWare for PCs here - I've no idea where/how to begin helping other than to check the SP2 firewall settings on XP.

I work with Novell also, but have installed some smaller MS networks. I have had this problem before and was repaired by pointing the clients at the correct DNS server. The SBS installed should be set as the DNS server on the network and all clients pointing to it. Manson Northwest Webster-Home of the Cougars! Brad Kruse (`-''-/).___..--''`-._ Tech.

It may need to be installed. Since one machine is seeing the server, I would guess the problem might be at the client level. I need to get back to watching Caillou with my daughter.

Sounds like both... i'm having enormous trouble with our conversion to windows 2003 sm biz server. i set up users fairly simply, gave them rights to directories, etc., but i'm having enormous trouble getting the xp workstations to connect. workgroups are set same, domain controllers are all off (except for server of course), filesharing is on, netbios is turned on, everything appears to be configged properly, but only one workstation can connect. the others can see that one workstation and each other, but not the server. i just spent the last 6 hours looking for info on what i might be doing wrong but found nothing. and of course, we have a person from chicago flying in in the morning to do training on the new software but only one workstation... works... rgh. --- I forwarded on the DNS suggestions - not sure from this description where he is on that.

RE: [info-tech] Help for a colleague
It could be DNS but I think since one machine can connect that is probably not the case. I think that the machines may not have permissions to browse the share. I don't know much about small business server,but check your share permissons and make sure that everyone has full control and then set the rest through security. --John -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Steven Scarbrough Sent: Wed 6/22/2005 9:37 AM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: Re: [info-tech] Help for a colleague John wrote: Do you mean joining a domain or just trying to access a share?

Re: [info-tech] Help for a colleague
Sorry gang, I saw the 10 X and was thinking mac. Check to see the given ip of the workstation. If it wasn't able to obtain an network ip, it will take 169. You might have manually give it an ip, then once on the network change it over to DHCP. Just another thought...

[info-tech] FREE 15 Monitors...
Good afternoon- We have lots of free 15 monitors (no warranty or guarantees) here in Fort Dodge. Should anyone need any, feel free to drop me an e-mail and schedule a time to come pick up as many as you want. You can test them before you load them up, but all were working here within the last year in the Fort Dodge Schools. Enjoy the summer, since it is finally here!!!
