consciousinsane Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I've got a peer to peer network. DHCP assigned IP addresses thru a router. (also have 3 hubs) Operating systems range from Win98 to WinXP Pro.Two work groups. (a and b for simplicity)if I change my workgroup to b I can browse that workgroup and a few pc's in workgroup a (but not all of them on workgroup a)if I change my workgroup to a I can not browse anything. However, if I type in the address or use one of the shortcuts to the shared location, it works just fine.Why can't I browse while under the group a??I've tried removing TCP/IP and resinstalling it. Tried restarting the Router. Tried assigning a static IP. Didn't work.Not sure what else to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT64 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I'm surprised that you can "see" computers within another Workgroup. However, do you have "File and Print Sharing" enabled for all the clients? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
consciousinsane Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 yes. file sharing is enabled on all pc's. and those that have printers, the printer sharing is enabled as well. any other ideas???...I'm lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
consciousinsane Posted October 20, 2004 Author Share Posted October 20, 2004 Found the problem. The browse master had the firewall set to only see IP addresses between 1 and 35. We use IP's all the way up to 153. So, everyone with an IP above 35 could not get network information. Changed the browse master and it worked fine. Also changed the firewall settings for next time that machine gets elected. (Norton Firewall).Thanks everone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
