Error 55 when using net use
Hello,
I have a Win98 machine (several of them actually), which have problems connecting to a WinXP Home PC using the Windows Networking. All machines have TCP/IP protocol installed as well as Novell Netware IPX/ SPX stack. When I try to map a share from the Win98 box to a WinXP box, using syntax like: net use e: \\WINXP1\DRIVEC I get the following error: Error 55: The specified resource is not available. The computer that shared the resource might have been turned off , or the permissions might have been changed. For more information, contact your network administrator. I have file sharing turned on the WinXP box, with full read/write priviledges. What is odd is that I can map to another WinXP home machine from this Win98 machine. The workgroups are the same, and I can ping the machines from each other. No firewalls are installed on the WinXP boxes. What am I missing here? Thanks. Mike |

Mike Using more than one network protocol can cause problems, especially when Windows XP is involved. Choose either IPX/SPX or TCP/IP for File and Printer Sharing. Unless you have a specific need for IPX/SPX, choose TCP/IP. If you choose TCP/IP: 1. Remove IPX/SPX from all computers. 2. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers. 3. Make sure that all firewalls on all computers are properly configured. If you choose IPX/SPX: 1. Un-bind File and Printer Sharing from TCP/IP on all computers. Can you ping WINXP1 from the Win98 box by both IP address and computer name? -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
