You should make crossover cable and connect laptop to desktop and test.

Oh boy...what is a cross over cable going to do? he has basic connectivity to the machines. he can't get passed windows security or firewall.

Jnelsoninjax, has budman remoted in yet?

[jnelsoninjax]

^ have not heard from Budman in more then a week!

[sc302 Veteran]

I can possibly remote in tonight. I will let you know later if I am avail to help you out. If that is alright with you.

[jnelsoninjax]

That would be fine! I appreciate any help I can get now!!!

I have been on vac, just go back. Sent you a pm - happy tv in and take a look.

The sniffs you sent, don't show you ever doing a broadcast for name. And the session you tried to setup was using hawk-pc, the name is hawk-hp is in not??

from your posting

Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hawk-HP

thats not going to work ;)

[jnelsoninjax]

Yeah, about the name, I decided the last time I had to restore the laptop I would make it easier for me and name the system -pc, so this time around it is called hawk-pc!

[+BudMan MVC]

so what is currently not working - so you get access denied when you do

net view \\hawk-pc

so this gives you error 5 - if so that tells me your just not authing correctly. or do you get error 53?

[jnelsoninjax]

This is what happens!

Also now windows is reporting that it does not have permisson to access \\jon-pc through explorer.

[+BudMan MVC]

well you have auth error with first command - your not authed so error 5 access denied.

and second command syntax is wrong -- *\\ is not going to work.. You need a space

net use * \\computername\share /u:computername\username password

before you actually try to map a share -- is that actually a share name?

just auth first

net use \\computername\ipc$ /u:computername\user password

I already posted doing this exact thing earlier in the thread.

edit: And yeah explorer is not going to work if your not authed to the freaking machine! ;)

[jnelsoninjax]

Getting system error 1219

[+BudMan MVC]

yeah you created an session where you are denied --- you can not now open up a session with a different account.

And what part did you not understand about sending computername\username in the /u: ?

You have to disconnect all sessions to a machine before you can attempt to auth with a different account.

Why don't you just use public sharing since username sharing seems to beyond your grasp!

[jnelsoninjax]

Public sharing is enabled! I just used net use /delete and then attempted to net use again, and this time it worked! Assigned drive Z, now what can I do to enable this each time the system starts? Also I have more then one folder shared, how can I enable access to all the other folders?

[+BudMan MVC]

once you auth a machine you access any share that account has access too.

once you map it should be recreated on a reboot, unless you specifically told it not to be persistent.

It makes it easier if you use the same username and password on each machine - so you don't have to save different credentials. But you can manage your credentials with cred manager.. start search cred and you will see credential manager.

[jnelsoninjax]

OK, I understand the basics of what you said, but I have 5 or so different shared folders on my system, do I have to mount each one of them to a separate drive? Or is there something else that can be done.

[+BudMan MVC]

you don't have to map them to a drive if you don't want - once you are authed to the machine you should be able to just access via unc -- create shortcuts to \\computername\sharename

Or I just map to admin shares - so you have full access to drive. Or you can just share out the root of the drive if you don't want to enable admin shares.

why do you have 5 different shares? Seems kind of pointless to me in a home setup to be honest. Just share the root folder your files are in - if that is the root of the drive ok, or could be a folder called shared, etc.

[jnelsoninjax]

One other thing: is there a way to make windows access the my system the way I can? I can see all the shared folders and access them via explorer, but when doing that on the laptop I get the not authorized message. But I can access them via the mounted drive.

[+BudMan MVC]

Dude yes that is the way it should work -- I have no idea what your doing. This is not suppose to be so difficult ;)

I never seen someone have so many issues with file sharing.

What account did you auth with, is it different than account your logged in with? Did you do it under an elevated prompt or something. UAC can cause a few different issues depending, etc.

[jnelsoninjax]

The account is the same one that I log in with. The net use command was done under an elevated prompt.

This is what happens when trying to access via explorer.

[+BudMan MVC]

ok why are you authing with elevated prompt? And yes depending on what account name is and password, etc. And what account names and passwords you have set on other machine, and what shares you have setup with permissions, etc. you can have issues

Here I finished moving my 500GB disk to my new 2TB one -- so I could disconnect and give an example

So here I auth inside a elevated prompt and I can view the shares, but in non admin prompt same user, access denied

Now I changed the password on that machines budman account not to match my local budman's account

But yeah UAC and elevated prompts can cause you some issues, explorer to does not run as elevated even your account is admin, etc..

[jnelsoninjax]

Here is an update to this whole (sad) saga. I ended up having to reinstall Windows due to a persistent malware that would not go away despite be removed by MWB. Now suddenly the other computers can browse my desktop the way I can see them! I'm guessing that there had to be some corrupt file or setting somewhere that was screwing with this whole issue!

[+BudMan MVC]

"had to be some corrupt file or setting somewhere"

Not from your screenshot with error 1219.. That was clearly showing you had created a session to that machine with a different account. You can only ever be authed to a machine from the same IP with 1 account.

if you auth with say guest, which is access denied you can not then send billy's account info to auth with until that guest session has been disconnected.

It is possible that you had some infection that was creating the session to the box with some account (guest maybe, random maybe) Which would then keep you from authing with the correct creds while there was that other session open.
