Workgroup with static ip, Win7, and legacy Windows system
Hi,
I have ATT DSL, 2-Wire (2701HG-B) router, 2 desktop systems, hard-wired ethernet.
I am the only user.
When configured for non-static ip, problems with netbios "browsing" occurred. The router stays powered 24/7, but the pc's don't. I'd get the net working and MS Win would break it in a day or 2.
So I've set it up for static ip. I've been told that this will facilitate such a functional workgroup.
Ipconfig info on the 2 pc's follows my sig.
On the Win7 system and using Explorers Network icon, I get something like:
Enter Network Password
(for) System/User
x Logon Failure: unknown user name or bad password
OK Cancel
The "Failure" msg appears before -and- after I enter the Admin password. All the sharing options (i.e. file sharing) are turned on except password protection, which is "off". It is very similar using the W2k machine.
When I enter //192.168.1.2 from the Explorer-Address line
it brings up IE and sez "page cannot be displayed".
Such a simple, simple thing to ask of MS software facilities. I've tested it in more ways than I can shake a stick at. To date, nothing works for long.
Any ideas on how this can be done? I would cheerfully, cheerfully settle for a single shared folder.
Thanks,
P
