1700 and NetBIOS?

[Tony414]

Hi all!
I'm not sure if this is router related or more with my servers. Currently I can only ping across our Point-to-Point T1's using IP address. I need to be able to also do it by workstation name. Could this have anything to do with my router configs? Here is an example of one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Your router isn't blocking NetBIOS, WINS or DNS traffic. I'd switch your focus to those server(s) for resolution in this case.

 

[Tony414]

Thanks for the info KiscoKid. That's what I was thinking also. A vendor was trying to tell me it was with the routers and I didn't agree. Thanks again!

If you can ping the remote device, you need to setup DNS or WINS to make this happen.

 

[MauricioD]

on your server do a ipconfig /all and post

Both servers (each domain?)

you using active directory?
is this a new setup?

when your on this server rec-server..can you ping yourself?

is DHCP being handed out by your servers? if so whats it called

or is DHCP being handed out by routers?

[Tony414]

you using active directory? Yes and No(on the NT side)
is this a new setup? No

when your on this server rec-server..can you ping yourself? Yourself? loopback? or do you mean my workstation? I can only pink by ip address.

is DHCP being handed out by your servers? if so whats it called? Yes by the servers. rec-server and financent

or is DHCP being handed out by routers? No

 

[MauricioD]

ok kewl...
do you know what server is serving DNS and or WINS?
If you dont we can come up with a stratagy to set this up
not a problem at all.
you said,,
you using active directory? Yes and No(on the NT side)
whats the name of the server in active directory and what server is your DNM (domain naming master)?

Hi MauricioD,

Thanks for the help on this. Ok, here is where I stand. Before seeing your post I started implementing WINS. This will only be a temp situation until I have 2003 server fully deployed.

It looks like WINS is running fine on the server 2003 side. But on my end (which is NT) I'm getting errors. Here is an event log I am getting. Event Id 4156
WINS could not initialize the administrator interface because of some problem with the RPC service. You may not be able to administer WINS. Make sure that the RPC service is running.

All services show they are running. So I'm a little confused. Is this a bug?

Thanks,
Tony

 

[Tony414]

Or do I setup one WINS and have everyone point to there?

 

[MauricioD]

even with windows 2003 you should still use wins..many apps depend on it

for that error if its possible restart the brwosing service.

set up WINS on a box if its possible

and which box is handing out dhcp to your clients?

[Tony414]

I moved wins to a 2003 box and took it off the nt. Through DHCP (which is on another nt box) I have it set to send out the wins server ip. I have this setup on my side and on the other domain which I have another wins setup. Here is what's happening now. From my 2003 wins box I try and ping someone in the other domain

ping ben-morse

Pinging ben-morse [10.111.0.24] with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 10.111.0.24:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

 

[pgaliardo]

This is strange. It seems that it is resolving ben-morse address, so it seems that DNS or WINS resolution is working. If you ping this machine by ip address, it resolves?

I would think if it was a DNS problem, you would get an "unknown host" error.

 

[Tony414]

Hmmm...Strange!
I just tried pinging by ip address and it didn't work. I did that from my workstation.

 

[pgaliardo]

Think you should check the target machine. Is it a Windows XP SP2 with the Windows Firewall on?

 

[MauricioD]

was it the firewall?

dont forget on the machine you wan to get the new ip information you neeed to register it by either rebooting or
ipconfig /reregisterdns

[Tony414]

It looks like it might be. I haven't gone to that location yet. I'm trying to apply the setting to disable the firewall through group policie's but I'm having difficulty. The setting isn't there. Any help on that too?

Thanks,
Tony
