Cannot see other Server on same workgroup


 

 

i have 2 dedicated servers on local lan workgroup (no domain controller) : have same workgroup "workgroup", same ip mask "255.255.255.0" ip address same on first 6 numbers have activated file sharing etc. can't access other pc.

when ipconfig can there not have same default gateway. reason ? why if yes, how fix (knowing renting these servers on hosting service don't have physical control on them).

  no, not default gateway problem. default gateway used contact machines in different ip subnet. if on same network , in same ip subnet communicate directly using hardware (mac) addressing.

  if using netmask 255.255.255.0, first 3 octets of ip address must same. last octet can vary.
