Re:face it shorty, It's Oregon. That has to be the reason. I've seen some messed up networks in Oregon, let me tell ya.
Re:Good idea but no.
Both systems have Firewall disabled. The router only has its basic hardware firewall.
Re:All right, now I'm pissed.
Not only did pinging from the game computer actually work, but somehow overnight it magically regained the ability to view websites again.
This along with the other data tells me I have good connections between both computers and the router.
I will go back to simple file sharing if thats the only solution.
Let you guys know in 15 minutes how it went, (need to take care of some other stuff too).
EDIT: I'm back.
Enabled simple sharing and restarted both machines.
Same error as before. I can see each computer under "View Workgroup Computers" but they cant access each others shared items.
Get the same message again: "\\Game is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
Access is denied."
I even went ahead and verified my cables and plugs again. Everything is good and the same as before.
Aside from Simple File Sharing, does anybody have ideas?
Re:1) Use simple file sharing, unless you know how to do your accounts properly.
In explorer (not IE), go to tools, folder options, view tab, bottom of view tab – there is simple file sharing option. You must restart your computer for this to take effect. Do this for both computers.
2) Not sure about your internet problem. Can you ping some websites like google?
ie. ping google.com
ping cnn.com
ping {$MySite}
If so, then you have internet access and your browser is broken somehow. If not, then you can try default router settings + reset the router. If that doesn't help you can try that with say a live linux cd and see if you can access the web from there. Good luck.
I must say, btw, that your "Internet Port Settings" look very fishy. They are definitely not right…It should be displaying your actual external IP, not some internal IP.
Another test you could do is…find out what your external IP is. To do this, go to your favorite search engine and type "what is my ip address", go to a few sites.
Then, search for "whois", and try to see if you can get some information on which ISP your external IP belongs to and see if that looks right.
Is it possible that you physically plugged in the wrong things to the wrong things? check again.
Re:"Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128"
Repeats three more times.
Packets sent=4, Recieved=4, Lost=0 (0% loss)
Approximate 0ms for each trip.
Along with the Game machine being able to talk to my router, these symptoms lead me to believe its a workgroup or permissions problem.
But I'll be darned if I can figure it out.
Re:Your network places icons are cached so that would be expected, can't get to network resources.
First tool of connectivity. ping What are your results when pinging the box having the problem, FROM the working computer?
