Guys, who can help me with the following.
I have this network
3 WinXP computers to a 10Mbps HUB
1 Prestige 650R to the same HUB (this is a modem+router that gives me NAT)
I used to have this config:
Prestige: 192.34.34.1
PC1: 192.34.34.100
PC2: 192.34.34.101
PC3: 192.34.34.102
All the computers had manually fixed IP with "Default Gateway" to 192.34.34.1 and the Primary DNS to the same.
Internet works fine, and I have some ports redirected to PC1 that has VNC, FTP, etc.
I never used Folder Sharing or anything related to SMB.
I've only used that when PC3 was W98 and I just shared a folder to be able to access from PC1. No prob.
Once, I've noticed that trying to upload via FTP (from PC2 to PC1) that PC1 just HANGED.
Ok here's the deal. I now have all the PCs running XP and I wanted to access from PC3 to PC1 (a shared folder).
Go to My Network Places -> Entire Network -> Microsoft Windows Network and it takes a very long time just to show "Workgroup"
Then, if I double click there, it just hangs and have to kill it and restart Explorer (the desktop).
If, I just type \PC1 it takes like a minute, and shows me the shared resources. I can click, type the username and password, and after some time, it shows me what's inside, but it takes a long time, and the "exes" don't have an icon. If I try to copy from one to another, it just can't (no message. I guess that after 10 minutes it will).
I just turned off/disconnected the Broadband Router, and everything worked fine and fast.
So I guess I'm missing to configure TCP/IP correctly, since it seems that Windows will only try to go through the Default Gateway even for those addresses in the same range and within the same mask (255.255.255.0).
So what I've tried is to set up the modem like 192.168.0.1 and give the computers an address there, and another in the 192.34.34.x range. But it doesn't work either.
Should I just add the computers addresses to the LMHOSTS file, or what shall I do to make them co-exist?
Regards,
David.
