RaginTajin Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 i'm running XP Pro on two computers. i use one of the computers (the client) to remotely administer the second one (the server) via XP's built in remote desktop connection feature. before, i had it perfectly set so all of the drives of the client would appear on the server, whenever i connected the two via remote access.last night, i tried setting up my LAN so i could connect to my school's inTRAnet, and that is when all of the client's drives disappeared from the server.i've tried backtracking and setting everything back, but no avail. can anyone help me?

Harley Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 Disable the firewall and see if the drives are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaginTajin Posted October 10, 2001 Author Share Posted October 10, 2001 i'd remember fiddling with the built in firewall before i had the problem. i'd expect your proposal to work so i turned it off but still no luck... appreciate your input though.i remember that right after i fiddled with the tcp/ip configurations so i could access the intranet (not internet, inTRAnet), that is exactly when the drives disappeared.

XPerties Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 What firewall were you using? And have you ever got a restart when you wanted to shutdown the computer....error?-Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaginTajin Posted October 11, 2001 Author Share Posted October 11, 2001 I was using the built in firewall feature. Local Area Connection Properties, Advanced tab, Internet Connection Firewall.I do not believe I have ever had that restart error before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPerties Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 Well altho Im not the XPert here on networking I can tell you one thing....XP FIREWALL SUCKS.....Try to go with another firewall app and disable XP. Sygate and Zone Alarm is getting good feed back.-cHRIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
