Problem 3:
The Barricade is configured, but I can't find it in Network Neigh-
borhood.
Solution 3
Try using Start - Find - Computer, and enter the Barricade's name. If
this does not work, use Control Panel - Network to check the fol-
lowing:
•
TCP/IP protocol is installed. If not, use Add - Protocol - Micro-
soft - TCP/IP to install it.
•
Check the network Bindings:
Ensure the TCP/IP protocol is bound to your Network card (NIC).
Select your Network card, click Properties, and then the Bindings
tab. If TCP/IP is not bound (checked), check it.
Ensure the TCP/IP -> Network card entry is bound to the Client for
Microsoft Networks service.
Select the TCP/IP entry for your Network Card, click Properties, and
then the Bindings tab. If Client for Microsoft Networks is not bound
(checked), check it.
•
If you don't have a router, check that your IP Address is compati-
ble with the Barricade's. This means it needs to be from the same
address range (e.g. 192.168.123.1 to 192.168.123.254) and using
the same Subnet Mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0)
•
If you DO have a router, check that your Gateway IP Address is
set correctly. Ask your LAN administrator for the correct value.
Problem 4
When I click on the Barricade icon in Network Neighborhood, I get
prompted for a password.
Solution 4
This can happen in the following situations:
•
The Logon name you used on your PC is recognized by the
Barricade, but the password is not. Simply enter your Barricade
password, or make your Windows password the same as the Bar-
ricade password.
•
The logon name you used on your PC is NOT recognized by the
Barricade, and was converted to guest, with guest access rights.
Ask the Barricade Administrator to create a user name for you.
(Use the same name as on your PC.)
•
You do NOT have access permission for this share.
Ask the Barricade Administrator to grant you access.
Note: Windows uses the Computer name, as shown on Control Panel
- Network - Identification, as the default Logon Name. But you can
create a new Windows logon name by merely entering a new name
and password at the Logon prompt.
