NT Networking Share Stumper

[david902]

So, the router I am talking about is really a Cisco PIX, I <br>
really don't think it has anything to do with the problem.<br>
<br>
Here is the configuration<br>
<br>
router port 1 10.0.1.1 mask 255.255.255.0 (all masks same)<br>
router port 2 10.0.2.1<br>
router port 3 10.0.3.1 gateway to Internet<br>
<br>
net 1 server 1 10.0.1.2 PDC for server1 domain<br>
pc1 10.0.1.11 win95 workstation<br>
<br>
net 2 Server 2 10.0.2.5 PDC for server2 domain<br>
also is WINS server for both nets<br>
also is DNS server for both nets<br>
10.0.2.2 Web Server<br>
<br>
Now from the 10.0.1.2 Server I can map a share to 10.0.2.5<br>
I cannot map a share from 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.2.2<br>
<br>
I can map a share from 10.0.1.11 to 10.0.2.5 <br>
I cannot map a share from 10.0.1.11 to 10.0.2.2<br>
<br>
I can map a share from 10.0.2.5 to 10.0.2.2<br>
<br>
I checked and believe that WINS is functioning correctly, all computers are listed in the database<br>
<br>
server1 domain is configured to browse server2 domain.<br>
I checked and believe that DNS is functioning correctly<br>
all computers are listed in their correct areas and have PTR<br>
records.<br>
<br>
NT says Network path not found, 95 says computer or share<br>
name not found. I'm really at the end of my string here. <br>
I do not know how to proceed. everything points to the <br>
fact that I can map to one server and not another, this <br>
perplexes me. everything looks ok, works in theory but I <br>
cannot map a share to 10.0.2.2 from where I need to.<br>
<br>
Any ideas on how to proceed or tipe on what I should look<br>
for as to what might be the problem would be a great help.<br>
<br>

Ok,<br>
from what I am seeing, you CAN map to the Web server from a machine on it's own segment. You cannot map to a share from another segment.<br>
<br>
Let's start with the basics... can you ping the machine by IP address from a machine on network 1 ?<br>
Can you ping the machine by Netbios name from network 1?<br>
Can you ping the machine by DNS name from network 1?<br>
Is the web server in domain 2?<br>
<br>
Try mapping a drive to the administrative share on the webserver using the IP address if the ping by IP address was successful. <br>
<br>
The command would be:<br>
net use j: \\10.0.2.2\c$ /User:domain2\username<br>
<br>
It should then prompt for a password. <br>
<br>
One last question. Can you map from the web server to a server on another network segment?<br>

Thanks for all who responded, never mind, nothing like a boring snowey day with nobody in the office to allow a chance to play on the network. after much figgering I discovered that it was the Cisco Pix, Rotten PIX...<br>
