File Sharing with ME
I recently connected a wired network conneting an ME sysytem with an XP. The
ME system can see and access the XP but the XP can't access or see the ME. I have tried all suggestions on various web sites. The share option is not available in "my computer" for any of the drives. I have reset the regesiryy with vnetbios.vxd all files are there but still can't share. Any help would be appreciated. |

Have you enabled File & Print Sharing in Win Me? You will find this on
the Configuration tab at Control Panel | Networking. -- Mike Maltby Lewy wrote: I recently connected a wired network conneting an ME sysytem with an XP.

I have done all that, I have reset the registry ran through everything on the
networking help website. I downloaded the fix from the microsoft support website , but still no luck. It just seems to be a problem with this machine "Mike M" wrote: Have you enabled File & Print Sharing in Win Me?

Which always makes fixing the problem rather more difficult. I have to ask: 1) What do you mean be "resetting the registry"? Which keys/values have you reset? 2) What "fix" have you installed? I'm not clear from your post but are you saying that the Sharing tab does not appear as an option on the properties of any of the drives or folders? What is the version of the file MSSHRUI.DLL which should be in the windows\system folder. Using Regedit do you have the keys HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHan dlers\SharingMenu HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\PropertySheetH andlers\MSSharing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandler s\SharingMenu and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\PropertySheetHandl ers\MSSharing -- Mike Maltby Lewy wrote: I have done all that, I have reset the registry ran through everything on the networking help website.

I downloaded and installed the fix posted on the mirosoft support website. It
had to do with updating the vnetbios.vxd file in the registry. I will look for the files you mention when I get home to the computer.

I assume the patch you are referring to is 272991 "Issues Accessing or
Using Network Resources in Windows Millennium Edition" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=272991). The version of vnetbios.vxd in the patch (272991usam.exe) is the same as that which is built in to Win Me. The purpose of the patch being to repair the file if missing or damaged and ensure the correct entries are present in the registry. It's unfortunate that it didn't fix your problem. -- Mike Maltby Lewy wrote: I downloaded and installed the fix posted on the mirosoft support website.

Sure enough the registry files you list he
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHan dlers\SharingMenu HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\PropertySheetH andlers\MSSharing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandler s\SharingMenu and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\PropertySheetHandl ers\MSSharing" are not present on my machine.

The absence of the entries means that File & Printer sharing isn't enabled. Is there a patch for them? I really don't know. I had hoped that re-registering msshrui.dll would have done this for you but the file isn't a registrable file. I'll try and do some research and post back my findings but networking isn't really one of my strong points. Try disabling File & Printer Sharing, uncheck both "I want to be able to give others access to my files" and "I want to be able to allow others to share my printer(s)", click OK, OK and reboot. Now enable File & Printer Sharing and check both the boxes, click OK, OK again and reboot. Has this now added the missing registry entries? -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows |
