Re: [MSAccessProfessionals] Networking Access application to 3 computers

I may try it on my own network as they aren't being seen by each other.  I use thumb drives to move data around at home when I should be using my network.  So I will get my PCs properly connected here then at my client's location.

Thanks so much.  Been many years since I have  done any networking.  I will check the IPs and Workgroup on the PCs that are working and then check the one that isn't working.  I had forgotten about IP addresses auto assigned vs. fixed.

 

So hopefully your suggestions will solve the problem.

 

Again thanks, Jay

Hi Jay,

First you need to ping the pc's to each other to see whether tcp/ip settings are correct.

If some machines got an ip-address starting with 169.x.x.x (and others not) some may have gotten an ip-address from a dhcp-service in an Access Point or so. Best is to have fixed ip-settings on all machines. Then you can label the machines and have a starting point for documenting machine administration.

Then check the WORKGROUP settings in properties of "This PC" on each machine.

Kind regards,

Rob

Turns out four PCs.  Here is the situation.  One PC has the Program and the database.  Works fine.
Second computer and One new PC sees all the PCs (7) on the network and the Access program connects properly and works.
However, the second new PC on sees one of the PCs on the network and not the one severing as the server with the database on it.

Can't understand why it only sees one of the PCs.

So the two PCs are working with the server.

Any ideas?  I did go to settings and make sure network discovery was on.  I had to leave but told the user to reset the network router and see if that helps.

Thanks, Jay Beckham
