Q.
I can neither map shared disks nor see other computers in
my network neighborhood, although I can successfully ping
them, what should I do ?
First of all , please be sure to share a folder in the other PCs because some MS-Windows boxes cannot be seen in the network
neighborhood unless their folders/printers are shared.
If you target PC is in the same LAN, i.e. they are connected to the LAN ports of the same Vigor Router.
1. Make sure that you have installed " Client for Microsoft Networks " and " File and Printer sharing for Microsoft Networks " on your all PCs.
2. Make sure that you have closed all other firewalls on all PCs.
3. In the "Network Neighborhood, search another PC using its IP address instead of browsing for it in the network neighborhood.
4. Telnet into your router to see if there have a telnet command
"mngt defenseworm on/off ". This function is used to defense
network-attack and it blocks TCP 1.5,137,138,139,445 by default.
Please use " mngt defenseworm off " to close it.
If your target PC is in the
remote LAN via ISDN or VPN, you're suggested to follow any of three solutions.
1. Make sure that you have installed " Client for Microsoft Networks " and " File and Printer sharing for Microsoft Networks " on your all PCs.
2. Make sure that you have enabled "NetBIOS over TCP/UDP "
on all PCs and close all other firewalls.
3. Telnet into your router to see if there have a telnet command
"mngt defenseworm on/off ". This function is used to defense
network-attack and it blocks TCP 135,137,138,139,445 by default.
Please use " mngt defenseworm off " to close it.
4. In the " Network Neighborhood, search another PC using its IP address instead of browsing for it in the network neighborhood.
5. Modify the content of Imhosts :
-› Search the " Imhosts.sam " file in your PC.
-› Rename " Imhosts.sam " as "Imhosts" (no file extension).
-› Follow the example in the Imhosts file to add a line
like "192.168.5.38 DrayTek " where the actual value depends
on your network environment.
6. Because the usage of NetBIOS through VPN in unreliable
and very slow. To avoid this issue, we advise you to setup
a WINS server. About how to setup a WINS server please refer
to the information on Microsoft
Website.
