BE65 Deco Windows 11, Net View problems and USB External drive.
This have been going on for awhile, and I finally started working on it. Ever since the above F/W version.
I have TWO problem.
Net View is on, NOW with IPv6 for the Internet Connection OFF, I see this:
C:\>net view
Server Name Remark
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\\IRVXPS8940 Irv's XPS8940
\\LARAINE-XPS8500 Laraine's XPS8500
The command completed successfully.
First is MY PC, 2nd is wife's. MISSING and was there on the OLD F/W is the Main Router's External Drive. It does show in the iPhone Deco app:
Of course, using the SHARE NAME, I can see it:
C:\>net view \\tp-share
Shared resources at \\tp-share
Share name Type Used as Comment
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G Disk
The command completed successfully.
What it doesn't show is in the File Manager as a server... but programs like VLC and access the saved videos from ripped DVD's on it as well as Smart TV's and VLC in iPad's.
This ALL was working in the older F/W.
Now the next problem with IPV6. If I turn it off via Deco app, NET VIEW can't see MY PC:
C:\>net view
Server Name Remark
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\\LARAINE-XPS8500 Laraine's XPS8500
The command completed successfully.
Only my WIFE's can be seen.
Oh, I can't access her PC though, I get a PERMISSION ERROR, but not with the prior F/W.
In ALL cases, IPv6 on or off, my wife's PC can access MY PC. Not only access it, has full read/write capability which she is supposed to have.
So, to net this out:
- NET VIEW does NOT see the Router External USB drive as a SHARE.
- If IPv6 is enabled on the router, NET VIEW can NOT see my PC or the Router.
- I can NOT access my wife's PC
C:\>net view \\laraine-xps8500
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
File Manager set to NETWORK and try to access her PC:
NO changes were made to ANY Permissions on EITHER PC. I then tried to RESET them by going to her PC and removing mine and recreating them. Nope, still doesn't work.
Again, ALL this worked fine before the F/W upgrade.
Contacted Support and got NO help on this.
