bookie32 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi guys OK! I have a situation that is driving me nuts...I have a home network with 4 windows computers (3 Windows 7 and 1 Windows XP)I also have two naslite servers included in my network....My main computer is showing all of them when on line...no problems..My customer computer is not seeing the naslite servers....I had the F-Secure Anitvirus setup the same way as the others but nada....?!I have even removed the Antivirus software...but no naslite servers? I can contact them via Telnet and administer them via Telnet.....even ping the individual computers, but I can't see them to add files etc....?!Can someone give me a clue as to what is causing this?bookie32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookie32 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi again!OK! more info....this looks like conflict between computers on my network?I turned off my main computer and sure enough the servers became visable to my customer computer?!They are in the same workgroup, so what could that be?bookie32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I am going to hazard a guess that your Main computer was the Master Browser of the workgroup. Shutting it down enabled another PC to become the Master Browser and likely refreshed something. I don't remember exactly how that process works. Was your main PC the XP one?

bookie32 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi Nope....it was a Windows 7....I haven't joined my Windows 7 computers to a "homegroup", but that shouldn't be necessary?bookie32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Well we can only guess some things, since you end up using terms like "my computers" vs "customer computer" but it would be better if we knew which OS was on each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookie32 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi again OK! the Main-Computer is Windows 7DatorNissen is my customer computer (and the name of my company)The XP computer isn't on at the moment or the Media Center Which is Windows 7...I seem to remember creating "Home Group" on the Media Center and the other two Windows 7 Computers don't want to join? Must be some conflict there....OK! I am going to remove the Media Center from the "Home Group" and start over to see if that clears the way....LOLAll of my computeres apart from the Windows 2008 r2 Server are apart of "PAGENYGARD" workgroup...these are mine and my girlfriends surnames....apart from her name has a Swedish letter "å" and I don't like to cause problems with Swedish names.....LOL...OK! I will sort this out and post when completed....bookie32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 the Master Browser of the workgroup. Shutting it down enabled another PC to become the Master BrowserThat's typically the kind of problem people encounter: issues with the master browser (and network discovery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookie32 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Hi guys!Haven't had the time to look at this further...is there a way to make sure none of them is Master Browser etc?bookie32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookie32 Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Hi again!OK! Part of the problem was the Ipv6 protocol...I had it turned off and it is needed for "homegroup"bookie32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Disabling IPv6 is unsupported by Microsoft, and (as you've found with homegroup, some things will not work right (or at all) with it disabled. A better approach is to disable teredo, which is the component most people have issues with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
