"Device doesn't exist on the network" - Windows 95/98/NT4, NTLMv2

Featured Replies

So I have two VMs in VirtualPC. (But I don't think the fact that they're

VMs matters.) On both of them - Windows 98 SE and Windows 95 - I

installed NTLMv2, and tried to connect to my host PC (Windows XP Pro SP3).

 

The problem: It only worked *once*.

 

The first time I clicked on my host PC (inside the virtual PC's "Network

Neighbourhood"), it opened - it showed all the shares, I could even

browse them.

 

Then I closed the window, and it stopped working. Now every time I try

to open my host PC from the virtual one, it says:

 

[X] \\THINK is not accessible.

This device does not exist on the network.

 

BUT the host PC says that the login was successful:

 

-----BEGIN SECURITY LOG ENTRY-----

Type: Success Audit

User: THINK\Mantas

Computer: THINK

Source: Security

Category: Logon/Logoff

Event ID: 540

 

Successful Network Logon:

User Name: Mantas

Domain: THINK

Logon ID: (0x0,0x69FD10)

Logon Type: 3

Logon Process: NtLmSsp

Authentication Package: NTLM

Workstation Name: \\WIN98SE

Logon GUID: -

 

-----END SECURITY LOG ENTRY-----

 

Right after:

 

-----BEGIN SECURITY LOG ENTRY-----

Type: Success Audit

User: THINK\Mantas

Computer: THINK

Source: Security

Category: Logon/Logoff

Event ID: 538

 

User Logoff:

User Name: Mantas

Logon ID: (0x0,0x69FD10)

Logon Type: 3

 

-----END SECURITY LOG ENTRY-----

 

THINK is my host PC, WIN98SE is the guest, Mantas is my [user]name.

 

The host WinXP is set to only use NTLMv2.

 

I have installed NTLMv2 on guest PCs as described in

<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239869> - and it seems to work fine, as

you can see from the snippets above.

 

Any ideas?

 

(Pings travel just fine, and I can browse the guests from host PC.)
