Continuing from our last article in this article we would list more errors with their possible solutions for workgroup network.
Error Message:

Possible Solutions:
The alternative solution will be installing NetBEUI to all computers.

Possible Solutions:
If this is a case, you may want to check the workgroup or domain, make sure they are in the same group or domain. Also check the computer browser issue. In the most cases, you may be able to use the computer resources if it enable file and printer sharing and logon the same logon.

Error Message:
Loading NetBEUI works but not NetBIOS over TCP/IP
Loading NetBEUI works but not NetBIOS over TCP/IP
Possible Solutions:
In general, computer browser performance improves with fewer protocols or network cards on a computer. This is one of reasons why NetBEUI is not loaded WinXP by default. If loading NetBEUI make the workgroup to see each but not enabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP, this is not name resolution issue. This is because of some reasons such as a firewall running.

Error Message:
Win9x can't see Win2000/XP
Win9x can't see Win2000/XP
Description:
By default, Win2000/XP disables NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBuI) for selected clients. In a peer-to-peer network without WINS, Win9x will be unable to browse, locate, or create file and print share connections to a Windows 2000 computer with NetBIOS disabled.

Possible Solutions:
you must setup the Win2000/XP to uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP to communicate with prior versions of Windows NT and other clients, such as Microsoft Windows 95. Alternatively, you may want to add NetBEUI on all workstations in the peer-to-peer network.

Error Message:
Zone Alarm may disable file sharing
Zone Alarm may disable file sharing
Description:
You setup a peer-to-peer network correctly but no one can see one of the networking computers and the computer can't see others. Later you find that Installing ZA prevents file sharing because Zone Alarm will consider all other machines on the network as entrusted and will not allow them to communicate with the machine ZA is installed on.

Possible Solutions:
Disabling Zone Alarm.
To fix this, in the firewall section "ZONE" tab use the ADD button to specify which Ip's or range of ip's are local, it would also be a good idea to specify which NIC is local on a multi-homed machine. To do that,
Go to Security >> Advance button and select the "local zone contents" tab then click Add and specify which ip or range of ip are local also specify local interface on multi-homed machine.
