the LMHOSTS file. “Release name” stands for the name for the re-
lease of any drive on the remote Windows computer. Note that by
default, no drives in Windows
XP/2000/NT are released for gener-
al access. For information about releasing drives, see the manual
of your computer.
Network drive connection fails for a NetBIOS over IP connection.
If both networks are connected via the same domain controller, it is
possible to browse (search in the network neighborhood) in the remote
network.
If neither network has a domain controller, or if each has its own,
browsing is not possible. However, connecting network resources
(printers or drives) does work in this configuration, given the appropri-
ate releases and user rights.
Check the following:
l Is the path of the remote computer entered correctly?
l Were drives and/or files released correctly on the remote compu-
ter?
l Has the user attempting to access the remote system been as-
signed rights to connect to the released drive?
6.4 Problems with IPX
IPX over ISDN
Make sure that an internal IPX network number has been assigned for
the NT/MPRI. The NT/MPRI installation program obtains the network
number from the Windows
XP/2000/NT Control Panel and registers it in
the “General” router settings in the NT/MPRI Manager. If no internal
network number was specified in Windows
XP/2000/NT before instal-
lation, it is sufficient to enter it here in the NT/MPRI configuration.
No IPX connection can be established to a remote router or a server in
the remote network disappears after a while.
Make sure that there are no doubled IPX addresses in the WAN. This is
one of the most common errors in setting up an IPX WAN. The IPX ad-
dresses used in a WAN must be unique.
