My windows 2000 PRO has no "Sharing" option at all, how can I enable it???
A: Install file and printer sharing for MS networks under LAN
properties.
1. The dependent services of the Netlogon service have been changed from the
default values and are not properly configured.
2. You removed Client for Microsoft Networks, and then reinstalled it. The
dependencies are not reset correctly if the Client for Microsoft Networks
component is removed and then reinstalled.
For consultants,

Prompt for
the guest password
Symptoms: when attempting to browse a networking w2/xp computer, the computer
may prompt a screen with computer name\guest and ask for the password.

Srvinstw.exe and Srvany.exe that allow you to create a program
running as a service.

allows any Windows NT application to run as a service.
2. To create a script to create and start a service on a remote computer, use
the Sc.exe.
3. The Srvinstw.exe tool is the graphical user interface (GUI) version used to
create remote services.
XP
can see win98 but win98 can't see XP
Symptom: you have 3 computers on a LAN. Two are
running Windows XP, and the other is running Windows 98 SE. The problem is that
the Windows 98 computer is not seeing any of the computers on the network,
though the other computers can see it and it's files on the network. You have
enabled sharing and you can ping each other by name.
Resolution: 1. If you setup auto-logon on xp,
disable and logon regularly. 2. If you select Family Logon on Primary Network
Logon, switch to Client for MS Network. 3. Make sure no firewall running on xp.
Workstation doesn't start
Make sure Client for MS Network is installed.
Why some users do not
receive your
message
After using net send /user to send server shutting down message to
everyone in the network, you were told that some people did not get your
message. It is because their messenger service <03> had been disabled. To check
if the particular machine's messenger is disable remotely, you can use command
nbtstat -a computername. If the messenger service is running, it should show
username with <03>. Otherwise, the service is disable.
Why my win98 always logs on using one username even I am in a domain network
It is setup as auto-logon or you have select Family Logon option (you may
have an option to add my password to the password lists on the logon screen).
Select Client for MS Network as the Primary Network Logon. |
