Windows Forum / Windows XP / Networking and Web / May 2005Xp Alt tcp-ip setting are missing..
I have a home office with several pc's, one desktop and a notebook.. my notebook is for business and in my shared office we have wireless. To use the printers, I selected the alt set-up and put in everything at the office.. well now I can only use printers at my home office, and can not share folders like before. However the other office, I get all the shared folders and printers.. So I went in to check the setting, and there is nothing there.. all the alt settings are gone.. so where is this stored?? I was going to remove the shared office so I can use my home office like I had before, but can not find it.. any ideas out there? >I have a home office with several pc's, one desktop and a notebook.. my >notebook is for business and in my shared office we have wireless.

Mohawk, What is the setting on the notebook now? Is it using DHCP, or did you give it a static ip address? Do you have DHCP or static settings at your home office? Your work office? How about you start by providing two "ipconfig /all" logs, one from a working computer at your working office, the other from a working computer at your home office. That should give us some idea where to start.  SignatureCheers, Chuck http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem - it's a normal response from experience.

Chuck, here is the home office log on the notebook... will not be at the other location till next week, but I use DHCP here, and there a static address: Some of the address info was changed to protect aganist attacks, but the data is real.

How long ago did you set the information up? Did you make any changes since then? Maybe if we figure what was changed on the notebook, other than the loss of the Alternate information, we can figure out what we do to keep it from disappearing again. I've been looking for where the information itself is stored, so far no results. Microsoft provides very little documentation on the Alternate configuration. <http://support.microsoft.com/?id=283676> <http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/s ag_tcpip_pro_altconfig.mspx> <http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/ServerHel p/64dafe38-ad61-4acb-beb5-d83dc372f18c.mspx> SignatureCheers, Chuck http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem - it's a normal response from experience.

Sounds confusing to me - and this may sound too simple - But if there are no entries at TCP?IP>Properties>Alternate configuration (Auto/User configured) it seems to me that the previous settings are gone (Not "hidden"). Dumb question but did you reenter the settings and give it a go? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AL(KB3U) & Darlene Romanosky N. Ft. Myers, FL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No I never re-entered the Alternate info.. because when I am in that office, everything works there... even though there is no data for that location.. it seems that my home office is screwed up by doing that.. well part of it.. I can get on the internet and share printers on the home office network, but can not share files. > Sounds confusing to me - and this may sound too simple - But if there are > no entries at TCP?IP>Properties>Alternate configuration (Auto/User [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Myers, FL > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
