The net command is gone, the "Network Neighborhood" icon from the desktop is gone, the "Find Computers" option from the Start>Find menu is gone. I can still go online and everything it's jus that all the net tools are gone, I can't connect to shares anymore. Anyone got a clue what I could have done? I think it might have somethin to do with my cable connection and my ethernet adapter, but they work jus fine and the Device Manager doesn't show anything wrong. | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 212 Member | Member Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 212 | easy way out is to just put in the win9x disk and click on repair. It should put all the neccessary files back for you. | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 Community Owner | Community Owner Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 | lol what the **** did you do?!? hahaha | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 DollarDNS Owner | DollarDNS Owner Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 | Here's what I know about file sharing. The "Client for Microsoft Networks" must be installed for port 139 to be open and in order for you to communicate with network shares. This includes your Network Neighborhood icon. It is gone when it is uninstalled, and appears when you reinstall it.
To check to see if it exists: Control Panel->Network Do you see "Client for Microsoft Networks" in the list among all those adapters and such? If you do, remove it and reboot. We'll try reinstalling it.
To install it: Control Panel->Network->Add->Add Client Select "Client for Microsoft Networks" and install it. | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9 Junior Member | Junior Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9 | in network, i would remove everything but the adapters, then reinstall and restart (like tcp/ip and client for microsoft networking). that should reinstall net ping telnet.... and everything should be back to normal | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 DollarDNS Owner | DollarDNS Owner Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 | gee... everybody is so dead, they're repeating other people's advice out of sheer boredom... | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9 Junior Member | Junior Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9 | Originally posted by SilentRage: gee... everybody is so dead, they're repeating other people's advice out of sheer boredom... Actually I did not say what you told him, what I said was to remove all but the adapters, there is a difference. sometimes if you have a million adapters and a million tcp/ip, removing 1 will not remove all the TCP/IP files and Reinstall them, it may some. so if you remove all, then reinstall, it removes (suppose to) all and reinstall the files again. | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 364 UGN News Staff | UGN News Staff Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 364 | gee... everybody is so dead, they're repeating other people's advice out of sheer boredom...
