Cant see `user dialog box` when trying to share folders. 3

[jmartin]

Hi!<br>I have a big problem with this.<br>In a NT environment, this pc with Windows 95 OSR2 version could not display the ´user list´box when i am trying to share folders for others.It says me ´could not display ... try later´. I have reinstalled protocols (TCP/IP), reinstalled the card (3Com PCI 10/100), the Microsoft client,the access control (the name´s domain), the share service, all i could to do, but nothing!.<br>Other way i tryed is replacing files (those reported with qfecheck.exe)but the problems remains. I know there are some files that can resolve my problem but i dont know them!<br>Someone could help me? .I just have this problem in other pcs and the only one solution i found is reinstalling ALL software! I think if replacing some files will save me of doing this!.<br>Thanks

I know this sounds silly but is the Win 95 computer a member of the NT server workgroup? <p> <br><a href=mailto:InterruptX@excite.com>InterruptX@excite.com</a><br><a href=

Dear Alt255: Yes, this Pc is part of a Windows NT Domain. This Pc access with logon window at startup, reads all logon commands, sees other Pc clients, sees their shared resources, open shared files from others Pc´s but can`t share it OWN resources!!! Always display the message that says ´can`t ...user list,try later`. What is your suggestion?<br>Thanks.<br>

I have never seen that particular message but if you want to share a folder you are not stuck to using windows explorer.&nbsp;&nbsp;if you go to the command prompt and type in nbtstat -a &quot;the name of the computer you are trying to access&quot;<br>this will give <br>C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP&gt;nbtstat -a micron<br><br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Name&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Type&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Status<br>---------------------------------------------<br>MICRON&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;00&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;UNIQUE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Registered<br>WORKGROUP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;00&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;GROUP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Registered<br>MICRON&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;03&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;UNIQUE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Registered<br>MICRON&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;20&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;UNIQUE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Registered<br>WORKGROUP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;1E&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;GROUP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Registered<br><br>MAC Address = 44-45-53-54-00-00<br>this tells you that you can &quot;see&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;the computer that you want to connect to, then use<br>net view \\the computer name ex net use \\micron<br>this will list all the shares that the computer has<br>then to connect to a share use<br>net use * \\computer name\share name<br><br>This usually works alot better than trying to see computers using the browse method in windows explorer.&nbsp;&nbsp;Because the protocol that is used in viewing the clients is very bulky.&nbsp;&nbsp;Alot of times you will get these types of erors.<br><br>hope this helps if you want to read more on it try<br><A HREF="

Can you avoid the whole problem by simply sharing the resource without developing a specific user list.&nbsp;&nbsp;Truth be told, with basic NetBEUI file & print sharing, I am unfamiliar with user lists for a resource you want to share from a Win 95/98 box.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'd be interested in what other protocols you may have running.<br><br>I just reviewed your message and didn't see NetBEUI listed as a protocol.&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to accomplish the above workaround, NetBEUI must be a protocol on the computer wishing to share its resources.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please also note that NetBEUI does generally make your computers more vulnerable to external hacks -- your firewall should be set to stop any NetBEUI exploits from outside.

If the issue you are referring to involves setting up user level security and viewing a list of users to allow access (Unable to view a list of users at this time ....error) then I may have the answer for you.<br><br>I have come across this situation before and it is related to a mismatch of RPC and Secur32 Dll's. The simplest method to recover is to download and install Dcom95 from Microsoft. I think it is at version 1.3 now.<br><A HREF="

Dear DxD<br>You´r a god!!! (computing god, or course!)<br>Your add was totally helpfull!<br>With DCom patch i resolved my problem and now I dont need to reinstall all software. But this is the simplest way. Whats the hardest way?? I guess copiyng some files and editing registry could get the same result. Do you know it?<br>This way maybe more ´professional´.<br>Thanks to other choices too!!! I apreciate it ( and some are very instructive ).<br>
