How to access a Network Share between two servers in same data centre

I have two dedicated servers (both Windows 2012 Server) hosted in a data centre somewhere. I want to share a folder on one server with the other server, but it's obviously not as straight forward as one might think. My servers are called "Maximus"
and "Apprentice".
On Maximus I shared a folder by right clicking on it and choosing "Share with... / Specific People", I then typed in the name of a local user account which also exists on Apprentice with the same name and password. (so each server has a local
user account with the same name and password).
So then on Apprentice, I was hoping I could access the share (while being logged in as this user with whom the folder was shared) by simply typing "\\ipaddress\sharename" into the address bar in file explorer. Unfortunately it comes
back with "Windows can not access [ip address]".
Now, I do have a website setup on the IP address for Maximus. This is actually the reason I want to create this share. I need the second server for load balancing and need to share IIS config as well as the website itself. (So I will need
two shares eventually, but for now I'm just trying to get one to work). I don't know if the fact that the ip address is pointing to the website is causing me problems here or if it's something else.
Are there any network gurus out there who can tell me what the issue is and how to resolve it?

I can ping both servers in either direction, but I believe I may have found the problem. Apparently my host is blocking port 445 which Windows wants to use to connect to the share and they will not unblock it.
Is there a way to connect to the share through a different port?
To my knowledge, you cannot change the port. However, you can try disabling your security software for testing. If this fixes the problem then you need to adjust your security software configuration so that traffic on this port is not blocked or filtered.

How to check the Network Connectivity between two systems.

Hello Everyone,
Please let me know different ways to check the network connectivity between two systems other than ping/traceroute commands.
Thank You.

Use snoop.
snoop -d <nic> - will give requests and replies coming/going in/out of the specified NIC.
snoop -d <nic> <MAC address of the target host> - will give requests coming from the required host.

Cannot get Telnet to work between two servers on same subnet

I need to test if communication is open on port 8444 between two servers.
I installed telnet client on a Server 2008 R2 server and telnet server on a Server 2008 SP2 server. I also manually started the Telnet service that was set to disabled on the SP2 server. I disabled the Windows firewall on both servers. They
are both on the same subnet so they don't need to go through any routers and I can ping successfully.
When I try to telnet to the remote server by typing telnet "ip address" 8444, I get an error that says "Could not open connection to host, on port 8444: Connection failed.
I tried other ports like port 80 and got the same error.
What else is needed to get this to work?

VMs have nothing to do with it, as long as there's network communication between the servers.
As I said, there must be a service or application listening on that port for it to respond. For example, try this:
C:\> telnet
When the telnet prompt opens, type in:
open mail.messaging.microsoft.com 25
If it works, you should see this:
220 CH1EHSMHS035.bigfish.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at Thu, 7 Feb 2013 00:57:33 +0000
That means that Microsoft's mail servers are LISTENING on port 25 and it responded. And note, telnetting to port 25 is a non-default telnet port, because port 23 is the default telnet port. When you type in a space and then a port number, you're telling
the telnet client to use that port.
That is the SAME THING if some sort of application or service is listening on port 8444 on that other server you're trying to telnet to. If there is no app or service listening, it will just time out.
And no, installing the TELNET service on that sercver will NOT answer to any port other than 23. The telnet service by default, uses TCP 23, unless you specify otherwise.
So once again, what service or app on that server is supposed to be listening on 8444?

Port forwarding between two servers from Same subnet

Hi,
We have a Cisco ASA 5520 Version 8.4(3). There exists a site to site VPN tunnel between us and a client and the client sends us the data to our local host/server 10.x.x.20 on port 52944. So 10.x.x.20 gets data on port 52944. We want to forward this data to a test server 10.x.x.21( same subnet IP) on port 52945. so basically I want to forward traffic from 10.x.x.20:52944 to 10.x.x.21:52945.
Is this possible. I am a new bee to the networking and still learning. Excuse me if this sounds silly.
I know we can add one more ACL in the VPN tunnel and add this test server IP in the ACL. but, then I have to ask the clinet to change their ACL too. I dont want to do this. So I want to wrok around it. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance :)
This is my first ticket in the support community.

How do I load balance TFTP between two servers and a client on the same subnet?

Hi,
I have trawled through several documents and tried umpteen different configs, all to no avail. I have a PXE boot client trying to access a boot file via TFTP from a couple of TFTP servers on the same VLAN/subnet. For HA purposes I want to load balance the two TFTP servers.
Config is currently;

I have read the doco by Ivan Kovacevic amongst many others but as my clients and servers are on the same subnet, the config doesnt work.
Can anybody point me in the right direction please. The devices are ACE 4710 running A3(2.3).
Thanks

Try using the following configuration:
Note: Please make sure to configure also a udp probe to probe udp port 69, in case the application is down.
You need to configure a management policy on the interface when using a UDP probe.
That is because, when port 69 on the server will be unreachable, the server will send an ICMP unreachable.
ACE will consider a udp probe as "failed" only when it sees ICMP unreachable.
Without a management policy-map, the ICMP unreachable message will be dropped.
Also, add an ICMP probe to the rserver because udp probe will not be enough when the physical interface will be down.
That is because UDP is a connection-less protocol. To consider a UDP probe successfull, ACE need to see NO answer from the server in respose to the probe.
The ACE will not see any answer from the server when the interface is down and thus, will consider the probe as "sucessful".
With ICMP probe attached to the rserver, you also test the reachability of the server and not only the UDP port.
Here is the configuration (of course, you can chage the names of the of the objects to the name you are using if you want) :
access-list ALL line 10 extended permit ip any any
probe udp TFTP
port 69
interval 5
passdetect interval 15

How do I get contains to recognize two objects w/ same data as equal?

I created an EmployeeId class that has an int field called myId. What methods and interfaces should I implement in EmployeeId so the output of the program below will be "Already Have That EmployeeId!" ? I have tried to implement the Comparable interface and the equals and hashCode methods but no luck. Thanks for the help!
Justin
EmployeeId emp1 = new EmployeeId(100);
EmployeeId emp2 = new EmployeeId(100);
Vector<EmployeeId> vec = new Vector<EmployeeId>();
vec.add(emp1);
if(vec.contains(emp2)) {
    System.out.println("Already Have That EmployeeId!");
}else {
    System.out.println("Does Not Contain That EmployeeId!");
}

public class EmployeeId implements Comparable<EmployeeId> {
    int myId;
    /** Creates a new instance of EmployeeId */
    public EmployeeId(int id) {
        myId = id;
    public int compareTo(EmployeeId eid){
        int result = 0;
        if(myId != eid.myId){
            result = myId > eid.myId ? 1:-1;
        return result;
    public boolean equals(EmployeeId eid){
        return eid.myId == myId;
    public int hashCode(){
        return myId;
    public int getId(){
        return myId;
}

Sharing a shared network variable between two PC's connected to a network

Sharing a shared network variable between two PC's connected to a network
Surely this shouldn’t be so difficult! I have a little LabVIEW program running in the background of PC1. The exe’s task is to collect and send OPC variables held on a SCADA system and convert them to shared network variables (as I thought that they would be easy to share over a network, easier than the nasty OPC and DCOM issues). I have PC2 which runs measurement studio and I have created a nice test VB program which either writes or reads the network variables which are on PC1. The PC1 collection software is working perfectly and when I change the values on the SCADA system I can see the network variable change on ‘NI Distributed System Manager’. I When I look at ‘NI Distributed System Manager’ on PC2 I can’t see PC1 on the list and when I use the basic measurement studio code below to read the network variable it times out at the TestVariable.connect() line.
Ok so what do I need to do to read a shared network variable sat on PC1 from PC2 on the network
Public Class Form1
Private WithEvents TestVariable As NetworkVariableSubscriber(Of Double)
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TestVariable = New NetworkVariableSubscriber(Of Double)("\\192.168.58.139\Test\TestVariable")

How do i stop contact synching between two iPhones?

how do i stop contact synching between two iPhones?

Stop syncing them to the same source. If you're sharing an iCloud account with someone, don't do that.

HT5646 should I set up a different account for each child? if so, how do I manage itunes money between two kids?

should I set up a different apple account for each child? if so, how do I manage itunes money between two kids?

Hello staatsfamily,
Having a separate Apple ID for each child will allow each child to keep their purchases and iCloud information separate. It will also allow you to provide an iTunes Store Allowance for each child:
With iTunes Allowance, you can send a monthly iTunes Store credit to anyone with an iTunes Store account. It's a great way for parents to manage their children's spending on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store.
Once you have created an Apple ID for each child, you can provide an iTunes Store allowance to each Apple ID. The following article will guide you in how to set this up:

you could try something similar to this, for each table pair that you want to compare:

        SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
          FROM all_tab_columns

How to export a weblogic application between two workshops

i need to develop an application on two different computers. how to make the application portable between two workshops?
Thanks.
Denis

Thanks for the response, but correct if I'm wrong: I just could use this option to export to war file if I had the source code and the project created under the eclipse IDE. If so, I'm not able to do that, since I haven't received any source code from this vendor. I have only received one windows installer which installs the war files inside the weblogic domain\server folder.
I thought that there was an option under the weblogic administration console -> domain -> deployments which would let me export an existing application to a war file.
So far, I've found one work around that is:
* Run the windows installer of this app into a weblogic running on a windows box ;
* Once the deployment is up, go into the PATH where this application is running inside the weblogic and generate a war file with all the existing files ;
* Open the weblogic administration console of the linux box;
* Import the war file ;
Thanks,
