I had been hoping to play with QPC2 over the network here and get them all to print to the same printer, use the same qxl.win over the network and so on, but ran into the inevitable snags with networking PCs.
The setup is as follows: three computers, call them A (Advent) B (Compaq) and C (EeePC701) all paired to the Orange Livebox broadband wireless router. All run slightly different versions of Windoze XP (one has Pro, one has Home SP2, the other Home SP3). All 3 computers can see each other. No problem there. All 3 computers can access the web when the other 2 are switched off. All 3 can see each other's SharedDocs folders. Computers A and B can access each other's SharedDocs. Both can see a folder called SharedDocs on Computer C, but attempting to view files fails with the error message telling me I do not have permission to access it, yet I have set sharing on for SharedDocs on C, configured the firewalls to allow printer/file sharing, run the network setup wizard... Another problem is that although I've set the default printer to the printer on computer A, printers A and B can print to that but C just says "printing failed" with no other information. Something is clearly preventing some aspect of communication between C and the the rest but what??? Everything can be "seen" but try to access them and it fails. Any ideas anyone? I know networks can be a minefield I've set up a few in my time) but this is ridiculous. Everything tells me it's working but it ain't. At the moment I'm stuck with carrying my QPC2 between machines with a USB pen drive, I'd rather use the network if I can. -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
