The system is down :(
Sadly, pcao and agwilliams are both seniors in woodframes this year and thus unable to host SMBSearch.
List of online networks are in the comments.
And remember: Don't stream!

i still can't reach the other computers on the network. . .
I even tried deactivating my xp firewall, but mshome still turned up empty and all the known computers I tried earned me the "unknown network path" message
what else could be the problem?
The only thing I can think of is to make sure you're connected via LAN, not wireless.
To access, you can go to start->run and type "\\SERVERNAME" without the quotes. Note that those are backslashes.
I was able to access all of them fine except INCARNADINE and THUNDERCUNT when I just tried.
As I said last time the topic popped up, I want to host SMBSearch, but the computer I would do it on is currently at home. If no one else comes up with anything before October break, I'll bring it back with me when I go home.
\\THUNDERCUNT is working, and incredible.
"The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again."
says this for all the names...what do i do??
don't forget //THEBEAST
Each computer can only handle a certain number of connected others. I think it's 5 for XP pro 5, 3 for XP home, and no idea how many for macs. So, it is not necessarily a problem with your computer if the connectin won't go through. Try later.
For those of us on the network: manage your connections well, to make sure people (esp macs, for whom it is an extra step) unmount when they're done. Admin tools>computer management>shared folders>open files and sessions. Make sure people aren't hogging connections with idle sessions.
actually it's 10 for xp pro...
and ummm... can we not spread this kind of information all over the internets? please? odd, I know, for such a technophile to be advocating word of mouth, but really - think about it. Or at least restrict it to the ACB? Wesleying gets indexed by search engines, LJ comments don't.
- one of the aformentioned hosts.
I dont know much about network sharing, so maybe someone can help.
My files are up under //SHAREBEAR, but theyre all on an external hard drive, which must mean that others can only access them when the drive is connected to my laptop. I assume this means my shared files are also unavailable while my comp sleeps?
Also, i wasnt sure what quality to rip movies, so most of mine are 1.4 gigs, encoded with h.264. Sorry for the inconvenience of the large sizes. For future rips, is there a standard rip setting i should use (ie. 700mb, divX, etc)?
\\KLRDD
for music
The person who is //SHAREBEAR, 1.4GB is pretty high quality. 700mb is pretty good, but there is a noticeable difference in picture quality.
All of the servers are working fine now for me, by the way.
how do i get on the network? it keeps asking me for a username and password?
\\HIVE is back, and better than ever--last year I only had a 300 GB HDD, so I had to burn a lot of movies and music to disc [and refrain from downloading others]. But, over the summer, I got an additional 500 GB HDD, so everything is back on my computer, and I'm always getting more.
Also, I too am looking at setting up a SMBsearch--I contacted pcao and he gave me a tutorial, so hopefully it shouldn't be too much longer.
To Anon: in most cases, you dont need a username or password, just leave them blank and hit enter
anyone know why ourtunes is so limited? I can only see 2 or 3 hosts, and I have no idea why. Does it only work with people on your workgroup?
ourTunes is limited because it doesn't work with anything iTunes 7 or higher. And, that's what most people have these days. Same case with myTunes.
does anyone know what error code -36 means for mac users? when trying to connect to any of the servers, i keep getting this error, even though i successfully connected to the network last year... help, please!
-36 is an IO (input/output) error. I don't know anything beyond that, except I've gotten it before and it usually rights itself after a while.
//MIREK, //INCARNADINE, //SQUIRRELCORN, //ELEPHANT, //BROM, //DIRELAND, //HELEN, //THEBEAST and //THUNDERCUNT
Just to confirm: None of the woodframes can access the network?
You might be able to if you VPN in, but it will be significantly slower. And I'm not sure if it actually works. If you're in a tough spot, though, it's worth a try.
Why no streams?
Streams are a big hit to the host--they slow the computer way down, because you are running the file on your computer, but it is reading it from theirs. That's plain not nice. Download it and then play it. If you don't have space, then do some clean up.
One thing about error-36 messages:
due to the new network security wesleyan installed, you have to relog in after you plug into the wall. so after you switch from the wireless to the lan connection you should open your web browser and relog in. then you should stop getting error messages and be able to get on the servers
