Hi, I’m pretty new to this forum, so please excuse if I sounds funny<\/p>\n

Let me first provide a brief description here,<\/p>\n

I’ve got a windows server 2003 machine which access internet over a Netgear N150 router also I’ve got an static IP, now internet is working properly even I can ping my machine from a remote machine.<\/p>\n

Here starts the real problem, I’ve shared few folders which I can’t access from any remote machine not in my LAN.<\/p>\n

Although I could access my server through remote desktop and everything else is working fine, so please guide me guys<\/p>\n

Note: I’ve opened port 445 on router even that didn’t helped also Windows firewall is OFF.<\/p>\n

Now when I try to browse my server through \\\\myserverip it shows me a blank window but when I tried to access it like \\\\myserverip\\sharedfolder it gives me error which reads something like
\n“File and printer sharing seems online but server is not responding on port 445.”<\/p>\n

Please help me guys, I’ve tried to explain it in some technical way although doesn’t know if I succeed a bit \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance<\/p>\n
