WinX first troubles [SOLVED - for now]
-
I have a new issue with Win X, I hope someone can help me with. I have little or no network skills, but I do (did, cause it's not working anymore) have a small network at home. A very old Windows 2008 in my basement and a fairly old, but still running smooth Win 7 upgraded to Win X machine. I added some shared drives in my basement and used remote desktop to do some config on my "server" occasionally. Since yesterday I think, the shared drives are inaccessible and remote desktop doesn´t work anymore, for whatever reason (the server does not accept any connections according to diagnostics). However, my laptop from work can access the remote desktop (which is a Win 7), but also no shared drives I did about everything I could think of. - Checked allow remote desktop connections - Checked file sharing is on and user has sufficient rights (though never changed that in the first place) - Allowed the remote desktop through the firewall - Switched the firewall completely off - Checked all the services where running - did a scf and it fixed an error (server). - I DID try turning it off and on again - performed last updates - Changed some funky registry setting apparently changed with Win X. I can still ping the server and it still shows in the network (though no access) I was thinking about some system restore, but not sure which machine. Is it really the server blocking something from Win X or is it the Win X that is doing something it shouldn't? Note that it worked for over 2 weeks before anything like this went wrong. I'm not convinced reverting will change anything. thanks for any ideas you can throw my way :) [SOLUTION] I have NO idea. My best guess is that a file was corrupt which in turn made the some services fail on startup and that combined with the fact that you need to reboot the client (my Win X) before retrying the connection. Or something like that... Anyway, finally have my music back :) [/SOLUTION]

(MQOTD rules and previous solutions)What's WinX? Did you mean Windows 10? :-D
You have just been Sharapova'd.

Generally this is the best solution when something is not working on any machine :laugh: :laugh:

Yeah, yeah. You pulled a cable out (or the cat/dog/mouse/wife/house ghost/meter reader did) and didn't notice, didn't you? Come on. Admit it. We've all been there, done that, bought the T-shirt, spilled wine down it, and donated it to the charity shop. We'll think none the less of you (although I can't guarantee that that isn't because there's no more 'down' to go ....) :rolleyes:

Not related to the OP, but the other day the office printer was having problems. I went to check on it, and on its LCD display it was saying "System Error - restart printer", and included a picture showing where the power button was. Very helpful.... :wtf:
