When I do RUN the \\ellie-laptop I get the message "Windows cannot access \\ellie-laptop"
Then the trouble shooting box says "problems found" "windows canot find a computer or device named ellie-laptop" then at the side it says "detected" with a little yellow tringle with ! in the middle.
I am begining to wonder if I should just send the so called "superhub" back and revert to what worked before hand. |
Again, I should say that I've not got a superhub, so if it's a superhub-related problem this may not help.
- Check that the two computers which can't see each other are on the same subnet. You can see the IP address with ipconfig (run it in a command prompt).
- See if you can ping the IP addresses from the other PC. If you can't, then it looks like your networks are isolated.
- If you can, then it sounds like you have a name resolution problem, you would then be able to access the PC with the IP address, e.g. \\192.168.1.24
It's a little tricky - there are two potential problems - that you can't connect to the other computer, or you could, but can't resolve its name.
If it's the latter, then take a look on the superhub for broadcast settings. Make sure that your netmasks are the same on both computers (they'd normally be 255.255.255.0).
If the former, check you're connecting to your own superhub! ;-)
