pix 501 switch cant see netbios

Jun 12, 2006 3 Replies

Hello I am starting to think that there is some setting on my pix 501 that blocks netbios in the switch. I cant think of this being possible but it is starting to make sense. I have 3 pcs



1 w2k pro 1 winXP pro and one W2K3 server in a workgroup. They are all in the same workgroup allthough the winxp and w2k3 have 2ips. I am able to rdeskop and even call the share with \\\\ipaddress but no \\\\computername, i cant see them in the workgroup either. they all belong to the same workigroup. May be I need wins, I tried lmhost static on the w2k pro but no luck. Any ideas?. Thanks

Is this under a VPN setup or just a LAN environment with a PIX for Internet firewalling?

It is just a lan, all pcs plug to the pix, I will try a hub to check if it makes any difference

Have you tried turning off the netbios fixup protocol?
