I gott real sick and tierd of this. So reinstalled the whole thing (with a format) and upgraded to a 64bit vista. I heard that it´s no good, lots of things that dont have drivers for 64bits, but only one way to find out. Any ways this version does at least my Server Service´s work. So i'm happy as I can be!</p> <p>Like to thank u all for trying to help me out with this problem. I dont like to surrender to this kind of thing, but this just wore me out!</p> <p>thanks again u guys!<br /> cya around<br /> /Andreas </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cant-share-files-or-printer-on-network#post-46260 Sat, 06 Sep 2008 16:03:20 +0000 ScottW 46260@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Toddyinc, did you restart the system after SFC? Also run SFC again and see if it runs "clean" without finding anymore files to fix.</p> <p>For command line output, you don't need to post a picture, just copy and paste the text. Right-click in the Command Prompt window, select Mark, highlight the text you wish to copy with the mouse, then press Enter. The text is now in the clipboard and can be pasted in a post.</p> <p>WIN32_EXIT_CODE 2 means "file not found", so there is nothing new there. Try the Event Viewer next. There should be some entries that might tell us *which* file is not found. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cant-share-files-or-printer-on-network#post-46236 Sat, 06 Sep 2008 12:58:18 +0000 whs 46236@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Your picture/link does not work. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cant-share-files-or-printer-on-network#post-46235 Sat, 06 Sep 2008 12:32:18 +0000 toddyinc 46235@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>thnks for the pic whs to guide me, did ad all the ip, it didn't gett me any closer to solving the prob. </p> <p>I agree that it is the server service that what i need to focus on. Did sfc scan, and it said it fixed some corrupt files, but ut didnt help me either.<br /> here are the error codes of server service:</p> <p>promt: sc queryex lanman server</p> <p>Service_Name: Lanmanserver<br /> TYPE : 120 WIK32_SHARE_PROCESS (Interaktive)<br /> STATE : 1 STOPPED<br /> WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 2 (0x2)<br /> SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)<br /> CHECKPOINT : 0x0<br /> WAIT_HINT : 0x0<br /> PID : 0<br /> FLAGS :</p> <p>promt: sc qc lanmanserver<br /> [SC] QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS<br /> TYPE : 120 WIK32_SHARE_PROCESS (Interaktive)<br /> STATE : 2 AUTO_START<br /> ERROR_CONTROL : 1 NORMAL<br /> BINARY_PATH_NAME : C:\windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs<br /> LOAD_ORDER_GROUP :<br /> TAG : 0<br /> DISPLAY_NAME :Server<br /> DEPENDENCIES :SamSS<br /> :Srv<br /> SERVICE_START_NAME : LocalSystem</p> <p>had to wright everything down, cuase i dont know how to upload a pic to this page.....=) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cant-share-files-or-printer-on-network#post-46159 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 22:30:34 +0000 ScottW 46159@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Toddyinc, you are going to need that Server service. From the description, it says, "Supports file, print, and named-pipe sharing over the network for this computer." From the previous thread, I had advised the other poster to run SFC. Did you do this and get a clean report? SFC checks to see that all Windows protected files are in the right place and are not corrupted. This is the closest thing to your request of "telling" Windows that all files are OK and in the right spot.</p> <p>Next, let's have a look at the error codes that the Server Service is putting out. Run the following commands from a Command Prompt:<br /> <code><br /> sc queryex LanmanServer<br /> sc qc LanmanServer<br /> </code> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cant-share-files-or-printer-on-network#post-46150 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 21:13:49 +0000 whs 46150@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Here is where "web browsing" is in Norton 2008</p> <p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii36/whs37/HTG10/Nortonsettings.png"></p> <p>But I have no clue why windows cannot find those files. Maybe setting back to an earlier recovery point would help (if you know since when the problem exists and can find an appropriate recovery point). </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cant-share-files-or-printer-on-network#post-46149 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 21:02:52 +0000 toddyinc 46149@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hi whs!</p> <p>I have Windows vista on my laptop as well and Norton IS installed and that computer has no problem with its network. That one works as a charm.<br /> I Tried doing all of what u just said. Cant say that i succeded 100%, couldnt find the web browsing part in Norton, its just not there. (I have 2008version)I did findout something what was of interrest.</p> <p>Norton can find all of the other computers on the network (laptop and a ps3), but when i try in windows It just wont work. What does that tell me? That everything is infact working, its just my windows that doesnt "gett it", so to speak. I mean I been reading up on this problem and it was suppose to be fixed with those 2 files that i was "missing" (witch are right where they suppose to be). So I believe that its just windows that doesnt know that everything is OK with the system. Windows believe that I dont have certain files, and therfore it can´t continue. But Norton I.S., that just does what its told to do, checks the out situation directly, when asked to do so, finds everything emediatly!?!?!</p> <p>That leads me to the conclusion that this most be the cuase! So how do I continue from here. How do I tell windows that the system files are, infact, installed and at there correct location. How do I do that. Is it a Register issue or just a reinstall kind of quest i'm heading off on? I miss my XP system, damn u DirectX10. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cant-share-files-or-printer-on-network#post-45947 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 18:11:21 +0000 whs 45947@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>One problem may be your Norton Firewall. Do the following: Apply Norton Firewall setting for sharing<br /> 1.Determine your computer's Internet address (IP):<br /> Press WIN+R<br /> In the Run dialog box, type COMMAND, then press OK<br /> At the command prompt, type the following and press Enter after each one:<br /> cd\<br /> ipconfig<br /> The IP Configuration information is displayed in the DOS box.<br /> Write down the IP address for each computer on your home network.<br /> 2. Add the Internet address (IP) to Firewall Trusted list:<br /> Start Norton Internet Security.<br /> In the main pane, click Norton Internet Security tab.<br /> Click Settings.<br /> Under Web Browsing, click Personal Firewall and then click Configure.<br /> In the left pane, click Trust Control.<br /> In the right hand side, click the Trusted tab. Click Add.<br /> In the Enter Trusted Computer dialog box, type the IP address of each computer on your network into the box (but not the one on which you are on), and then click OK.<br /> Note: For multiple IP addresses, separate each one with a space.<br /> The IP address(es) that you entered appear on the Trusted tab.<br /> Do this on each system that participates in the sharing and has Norton IS installed. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cant-share-files-or-printer-on-network#post-45930 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:41:14 +0000 toddyinc 45930@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>This is my little problem, I cant share nothing on my home network. Everytime I try to enable sharing, it just says "Costume", and nothing happends<br /> If i try to enable the rest of the stuff, as public folder sharing it just says "The RCP is unavaible", witch is wrong. I have checked my service´s and located the RCP in the list, and it´s started. The Server service in the list is Not started, it is in automatic (tried all the options here, manual, delay atuo). When i try to start it it just says - "Error 2: the system cannot find the fiel specified". The file in this case its looking for is (C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs). Did a search for that file and yea its in that EXACT place. been trying lots of things to workout what the problem is, but with no luck. I read that the solution was a missing DLL file named srvsvc.dll and srv.sys. With out this files the Server Serivce was not able to find svchost.exe. The solution was to extract new ones out from the windows cd. I searched for these files as well and guess what.....I found them right where they suppose to be on the computer.</p> <p>I´m not 100% that even if windows finds this file, that it will solve my problem, but i suspect it....and hope for it.</p> <p>Well that is basicly what the problem is all about. I did a virus scan Norton Internet Security, but nothing cameup.<br /> I'm behind a D-link Router, dont think that matters, but i will mention it becuase, who knows I'm out of idees =) </p>
