I’m running win2k8 with a static IP. I can’t get network shares to run (have gotten them to run from a win2k3 box). When I click on the Network Shares menu nothing happens. I’m going crazy trying to get this to run! :angry:
The only thing mentioned in that thread that I didn’t do, didn’t do anything =(.
Well, this is probably obvious, but the reason you’re not getting any list of servers in the Network Share listing is that the server isn’t (properly) advertising itself as a Network Server to the WD.
Do your other Windows client PCs see the shares?
In other words, if on a DIFFERENT windows box you execute the command
c:> net view
You see the server in the list?
and if you do…
c:> net view \servername
You get a list of all the shared folders from that server?
Yes, I see it from other machines (The shares) and when I execute the command it runs successfully.
Would you post the output of those commands for review?
It just lists the 2 shared folders on my server. 1 shared folder for files ( for my whole network to sotre stuff in) and the server’s M Drive which is my media drive and is shared.

Bump? I’m still waiting for your response on my previous question. I don’t want you to paraphrase what it says, I need the actual output.
And also, on the server itself, output of these commands:
NET GROUP
NET LOCALGROUP
NET SHARE
NET STATISTICS SERVER

Ok, all of that looks good (except for the lack of the user alias “Everyone”, but that shouldn’t be causing this specific problem.
What are the IP addresses of:
Your client PC
Your Server
Your WDTV?
Client PC:100
Server (Static)158
WDLAN (Static):175
Wait a sec. The NET VIEW from your laptop is wrong. That should not be listing SHARES, that should be listing SERVERS.
You should see:

Well, THAT tells me everything.
You’ve got a problem on your network.
It could be any one or all of these:
One: You don’t have a master browser running on your network.
Two: You probably don’t have Network Discovery fully enabled on your server
Three: You’re running ICF / ICS and blocking access to network discovery
Four: Your WORKGROUP or DOMAIN are different.
I’m guessing you can only mount shares by providing FULL UCNs, like:
NET USE N: \servername\sharename
but you CAN’T browse to those shares using Explorer?
I can browse to them fine. Using explorer that is.
