Peer to Peer not connecting

[metaguy]

Set up p2p via ethernet, win 7 on both. Same passwords, sharing set but will not connecting. Trouble shoot says it's network issue.
1. Turned off Firewalls, no difference
2. Is it ok that both pc's are admin?
3. When it does connect, what should I expect to see on desktop?
Suggestions?

By peer to peer do you mean directly plug an ethernet cable from one computer into another? If so you have a couple of issues. Firstly you can't use a standard ethernet cable. You must use a crossover cable like one from here: ethernet crossover cable - Newegg.com

Second, you must must configure your "network" manually providing each computer with an ipaddress, a common subnet mask, and a default gateway. How to set that up requires more networking knowledge than most people know. You home router does that automatically and will allow you to use your existing network cable.

 

[metaguy]

Sorry I didn't make it clear. Both are going to the router.

First off you need to set up shared folders then nothing will appear on the desktop but you can then browse the network and should see the shares on the other PC and be able to see files etc or you can map a drive etc

 

[metaguy]

I have both pc's check marked for sharing documents, etc. I just don't think they're seeing each other. Again, message is that it's a network issue. IF there is a connection, how would I know?

 

[samuria]

One each PC open a cmd prompt then type

Ipconfig /all

Post both results

 

[metaguy]

I'm not sure what all this means, but...

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.122(Preferred)

On the computer that is on the bottom from the command prompt type in hostname. After that type in ping and put in the address above. Please copy and paste both outputs.

On the first computer do the same thing except ping this address. Also type in the command hostname. Please paste the results.

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.183

Also on each computer open up control panel > internet options > connections tab > lan settings. Make sure that the box Automatically detect settings is checked.

On the second computer you didn't type in ipconfig /all.

 

[metaguy]

Neither pc would ping the other using ping and other's ip address. What do you mean by adding "hostname?"

 

[townsbg]

I said to type hostname. Due you make sure each computer is set to receive the ipaddress automatically?

 

[metaguy]

But, what is the hostname? Or, do you mean to actually type "hostname" without the quotation marks?

 

[samuria]

The second ipconfig /all you posted doesnt have netbios running and doesnt have any dns set an has lots of tunnels open and admin cmd prompt ie fid mdex right click choose ru as admin then type these one at a time press return after each line

netsh advfirewall reset
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state ON
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

netsh int ipv4 reset
netsh int ipv6 reset

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

reboot

do it on both pcs see it works then or try this see if it can see the other pc NetBScanner - NetBIOS scanner

 

[metaguy]

On 655D pc, though as admin and user "G" several of the lines responded "no user specified." Also needed to reboot after several lines completed. Also, ipconfig on both computers had /all, only each computer showed. That said, here is ipconfig for 655D:

[FONT=&quot]Your advice is appreciated.
[/FONT]

 

[samuria]

You just run it and scan it should show the other PC with details try on both. Disable ipv6 on both as it's not used and can be a problem

 

[metaguy]

I got the following on both computers:

 

[metaguy]

Windows cannot find "netbiosscanner.exe". Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

 

[metaguy]

What a mess... E6420 showed the 655D Home group but no files. Ran troubleshooter and it added a Home group with no name nor data. 655D has no home group. Both indicate possible firewall (Bitdefender) but I've allowed. Should I start over?

 

[metaguy]

Samuria - I'm a bit dense... sorry.
1. I've uninstalled ipv6 from both computers.
Here are the rersults from both betbscanner scans:

Does this get us anywhere?

 

[samuria]

As the scanner sees the pcs it likely the firewall giving problems try disabling it on some that doesntwork you have to remove it.


from cmd prompt type

net view

net share

post results

 

[metaguy]

The net view and share were done with firewall disabled on both pcs.Obviously, it does look good. Should I go back and start fresh?
