N36L - I thought that was the 1.3 GHz model?

I'm having a problem with my MicroServer. I have Windows 7 installed, same as all the other computers on my home network.
I have 5 desktop computers and two laptops in the Windows Homegroup.
Now the MicroServer can see the Home Group and it becomes part of the Homegroup, but when I go to view any of the other resources on the other computers, it says it does not have permission to view those resources.
All of my other computers can see each other and they can see what is on the MicroServer. But the MicroServer refuses to "see out".
I treid re-creating the Home Group. I have made a new Home Group. I tried starting the Home Group on the Micro Server first, and then adding the others. but no joy.
The network has gigabit switches and appropriate cabling. I've tried moving some of the switches around and swapping them out.
Still no luck. I have also tried turning off password sharing on all the PC's, but still with no success.
What could be preventing the MicroServer from seeing out onto the network?

Hi Gary.

Lets firstly ensure that the MS has picked up the correct network settings. Secondly, I would personally disable homegroup* and enable file sharing on the MS (if you click on Network in the LHS of the file explorer a yellow banner - much like when a popup is blocked - is displayed - ensure that is enable). Thirdly, go to credential manager (type credential in the start menu) and either clear the entries for your PC's on your network, or add the appropriate ones. Ensure the passwords and usernames are correct. You will not receive an error message if the password is incorrect. If you are on different workgroups/domains, ensure the username is domain\username.

Only other thing I can think of is firmware, but if you manage to connect to the internet or lease an IP I don't see how firmware could be a problem.

* while this is not necessary, and my opinion; I have seen complications in network configuration by utilizing this feature.

I had similar issues on my network until I started using my NAS.

Try this:
If you want to access pc x, from you MicroServer add the credentials that you use to log onto server x in the windows credential manager on the Microserver. I found that that helped.

Hope it works.

Correct. There is no N36L 1.5GHz model.

This makes me wonder if Server Warehouse are reliable.

 

[kayvee]

Yeah all HP pages still reflect the N36L at 1.3GHz 1 GB RAM, and the N40L is the 1.5GHz 2GB model

I'm using an external USB sound adapter, brilliant little thing, works out the box in linux.

Thanks guys, I'll try this. I don't have any passwords running on any of my machines and have password sharing turned off. Is that a problem?

I don't think Windows allows remote connections without a password.

Graphics Card for the HP Microserver

Hi,

I'm moving up from a Mede8er, and I've taken the plunge and ordered the microserver.

But I have a question. The advice here, so far, seems to be to get the MSI GT520 for graphics. But from what I can find on the card, it requires 300W, while the HP only has a 150W power supply?

Does this mean I have to get a new power supply to? Or does it work OK on the low power, just don't try play Crysis 2 on it?

Thanks!

The GT 520 has a max TDP of 29watts. The N36L is very efficient uses around 17 Watts. The 300watts is a suggestion for your power supply with a full desktop board and processor.

There's plenty of headroom even once all the drivebays are full.

The PCI-E port can also only supply 25watts, so the GT 520 isn't even being full-powered but it doesn't seem to have any adverse effects

 

[rodga]

I see there different versions for the gt520? Is that correct? Which one is prefered? Whats the actual differences?

Or am i mistaken?

Great! Thanks for the quick reply!

Still R1299 here at hpshop too.

Just shows how removed some e-tailer companies are from what new stock is actually in the country. Probably still sitting with old stock. hpshop is digitalplanet refer to whois.co.za
