Issue with ASUS RTN13U firmware

[amjath]

I see.

The shared drives of PC 1 [XP] are easily accessible by PC 2 and PC 2 can be ping PC 1 [192.168.1.14].

But from PC 1 I cannot ping PC 2 [Windows 8, 192.168.2.100]

Now please help

check win 8 firewall settings or turn it off(along with any other firewall) & then try pinging PC2 from PC1.

firewall turned off in both the pc's and also router's too

Router firewall has got no relation with sharing of files, windows setting has to be the culprit.

 

[whitestar_999]

run ipconfig /all in command prompt on both PCs & post results.

 

[dashing.sujay]

No cmd command works in win 8.

 

[amjath]

it works in windows 8. Will post it when i get home

No not B1.

for non b1 they stopped updating firmware [1.0.2.0] in 2010 itself.

this is how my pc is connected

internet on all devices working. but pinging from pc1 to pc2/ router ip is not possible @ the moment. so i could not share

As per the diagram, Phone line is to be connected to the Modem not to the router ?

 

[amjath]

yes dude i know and it is connected to modem not router. I know the difference between both my issue is not about internet. it is about sharing folders

it is not related to your issue at the moment still no harm in knowing it.it seems that by default ping is disabled on windows 8 default firewall configuration & there is a way to enable it without disabling the firewall.
How to Enable Ping Echo Replies in Windows 8 - How-To Geek

now coming to issue at hand i suspect that xp can not access windows 8 shared folders because of incorrect sharing settings.make sure that your xp admin account password is not blank.also check that in win 8 network sharing center type is "home" & in advanced setting password protected sharing is enabled which will prompt for your win 8 username/password when accessing from xp.

 

[amjath]

As the link says to enable the file sharing inbound it is enabled. password protected sharing I disabled it. Let me enable it and let u know.

Note: First time it was enabled and sharing works then I disabled it since it was annoying

Edit: still couldn't ping windows 8 PC or the router LAN IP from xp.

 

[whitestar_999]

forget about pinging win 8 for now.which router lan ip are you pinging anyway?192.168.2.1 is your router home address but what ip it is getting from modem you can not know for sure if dhcp is enabled in modem.just focus on accessing shared folders/drives from xp for which password protected sharing is must.

 

[amjath]

Not successful I did it. I use this command in run \\pc2 IP\shared folder name . It should ask for username and password right but instead error shots.

Note: I did not do any changes in modem. It's still the same for the past 2 years lol

 

[amjath]

Ahem Ahem my issue is not resolved yet please help!!!

 

[whitestar_999]

can't see the error shots.btw what result/error you get when using windows explorer to access win 8 from xp.
