\\my_ip does not work, \\my_name does
Hopefully the subject says it all. The problem computer is a Windows
98 SE machine. If I do a Start-Run and type in \\computer_name (name of this cosputer) I get what I would expect, namely all shares show up in a window. However, if I use \\my_ip_address (ip address of this computer I get an error message that says \\my_ip_address is not accessible. This copmuter can see others on the network, and it can be seen by others. Other computers are XP. The XP computers cannot see any share on this computer. If when they find the computer name and click on it, the get computername is not acessible. You may not have permissions, etc. Before anyone suggest this, file and print sharing is installed on this Windows 98 Computer. Only other thingnow know is that when I tried to look for this machine and its shares from a Linux box running Samba I also did not have any success. I'm pretty sure the proble is with the Win 98 machine, but I am not sure what the failure of \\my_ip_address on it tells me. Any ideas? |
