Greetings.

I am experiencing (once again) a randomly, recurring problem.

Two of my XP (someone [else] still use/remember XP?) laptops (G & I) connect
to the internet by either a WLAN NIC or ethernet NIC and
then connect to the other laptop by either an crossover/ethernet or USB-NET NIC/cable.
Right now G connects to the web by WLAN and connects to I by crossover/ethernet.
Right now I connects to the web by a USB to ethernet adapter
(connected to I by a PCMCIA USB card) and connects to G by (built-in) ethernet.
Right now I connects to XP laptop T by USB-NW cable.
I never connect T to the web anymore.
G uses its internal WLAN & ethernet "NICs".

The problem is that when I de-select File & Print Sharing (F&PS) on the NIC connected to the web,
I lose F&PS on the local LAN NICS.
De-selecting F&PS also makes changes to the "Adapters & Bindings" under Advanced Settings.

Other similar bizarre things happen, like if I de-select NWLink NetBIOS on the NIC
connected to the web, the other NICS on the local LAN lose the NWLink NetBIOS setting.

These things do not always happen but they are happening again now.
I could/would go into more detail if/when someone might be able to help me
figure out what is going on and why ...

(I have always had to use NWLInk IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Tranport & NWLink NetBIOS
with TCP/IP on my local crossover ethernet LAN connections.
I could use NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS WITHOUT TCP/IP but
would then not have local LAN IPaddresses.
The USB-NW "NIC" absolutely requires NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS.)


Any helpful replies/insights appreciated.
Thank you.

Never saw an ethernet card needing a specific protocol to work. What's the brand and model ?
With XP, you should only rely on tcp/ip protocol even when using nwlink (some remain of Novell Netware).

Greetings.

This posting (and the underlying issue) is(are) not about IPX/SPX.
MS dropped IPX/SPX with Vista, so USB-Link products for Vista
have to include IPX/SPX for the install.
USB-Link products for XP could rely on the built-in IPX/SPX.

I have to use IPX/SPX (& also use TCP/IP) for the USB-Link connection.

This posting is about disabling File&Print Sharing.
I gave the details in my original posting.
One detail to add is that under Network Connections \ Advanced \ Advanced Settings \ Adapters&Bindings,
I can deselect (on each/every NIC) TCP//IP from F&PS (& Client for MS Networks)
but have to select (on each/every NIC) IPX/SPX for F&PS (& Client for MS Networks).
However, like posted originally, I cannot deselect F&PS on the General Tab
under each individual NIC Properties.

This problem has come & gone but has not gone away this time.
If I deselect F&PS on the wwwNIC, F&PS becomes disabled on each/every NIC
on the General Tab under each individual NIC Properties.

I should be able to deselect F&PS for the wwwNIC without losing F&PS on the other NICS ...

For the past year I have had the problem described in this thread.
Now, all of sudden for some unknown reason, I can
deselect File&PrintSharing on my wwwNICs ...
without XP then proceeding to deselect F&PS on the other NICs and
thus disable my (crossover/USB) LAN connections ...

I can only guess that maybe this is because
I am NOT using Windows to manage my wwwNICs on any laptops -
(I am using the 3rd party wwwNIC management utilities) - and
do not have WZC enabled on any of the wwwNICs ...

I still hope to hear from someone who actually know something about this ...

I assume you are NOT using Wireless?

Looking at your other posts, you don't provide much info....

Maybe you speak "hacker's English"?
Maybe you don't understand the details of the issue ...
There is nothing helpful in your reply.
Maybe you just like to make posts that try to criticize ...

Dude, stop with the "hacker's english" or I'll stop trying to assist!

WTF is "wwwNIC"? Maybe THAT is causing the problem? Do you assume (a**-u-me) that we all use this "3d party software" and are familiar with it? HE** NO I'm not going to install it just to "test" your problem. I do things the old fashioned way - by hand using the OS!

And you have "no idea" why I wrote "assume no wireless" when you SPECIFICALLY stated

do not have WZC enabled

THAT, is a SERVICE for Wireless! Apparently you are NOT using any Wireless Networking, right or wrong?

Look at your OTHER topic, I tried to help with... VERY detail-lacking!

(j*rk!)

Really! do you promise?
Not only do you only speak hacker's English, but you are also unpleasant - snide & vulgar ... and seemingly clueless ...
maybe you should "get a life" and get out of the forum(s) ...

Get out of the Forums?
<--- Look to the left...
Now search for all that are designated as such. It wasn't "free" or "by donation" - it was EARNED!

Sounds like "hacker's English" to me...I repeat

Got a link to the above 3d Party Software? Can you NAME it? Or should everyone use a Crystal Ball?

BTW, Date and Time is in the Post itself - no need to "log" it in your posts.

Just for you... Looks like you do this type of thing everywhere - Opera, Hydrogenaudio, Videolan, Freecommander, etc etc...

And here...

Enjoy your stay.

AEN007, submix8c's question was perfectly valid. So everyone needs to settle down and get back to the problem or else this thread will get locked.
