A computer on the network that is not seen by the other

I have a fairly standard home network: the 'main' computer, Vista, has the router connected to it; the second computer is a laptop, connected via the wireless network and running Windows 7. a printer that prints the laptop directly on the network (that is, do not use file & sharing from the main computer through a printer USB connection).

The problem is this: when I look at the main computer network, he does not see the laptop (he does not see the printer, either).   Conversely, when I look at the network of the laptop, he sees everything.  So if I want to copy a file to the master computer to Notepad, for example, I have to put the file in the Public of the main computer directory, go to Notepad and pull it.  I can't write on directory Public of the laptop.  Small problem, easily bypassed, but a problem however - especially when the main computer used to see the laptop, and I don't remember anything I've done.

When I looked at the properties of the C: drive of the computer laptop last night, he said "not shared" (how did that happen?), so I turned on sharing and takes the default value - which was the network path, \c \\Ernie-PC [computer name] [colon No.].  I was expecting the colon.

And time under "Network and sharing files folder" is said C:\ is shared, after "network path: \\Ernie-pc\c, ' the 'Share' button is grayed.

What are the things I need to check?

  • When I start the computer, sometimes the icon in the taskbar indicates that it is connected to a network that is not identified. I wait a few minutes until what he says at last he is identified & seems to work very well.

    Original title: Internet wireless connection

    I use a PC & a cable modem wireless to connect to the Internet.  When I start the computer, sometimes the icon in the taskbar indicates that it is connected to a network that is not identified.  I wait a few minutes until what he says at last he is identified & seems to work very well.  The only other issue I see is once in a while after it is connected, I noticed that it is to identify the network connection, but I see no problem to surf the web.  This could be a looming problem with the modem, or is it something else?  Should I consider it as my modem is still under warranty?  ARRIS / Motorola wants to charge a diagnostic fee is why I write on this forum first.

  • I'll copy Mozilla firefox from one computer to the other. I don't want to download from the internet, I caught the virus of "Babylon" in this way.

    (1) you really have to make it easier to contact support. Get rid of password requirements!
    (2) I would copy safely Firefox from one computer to the other. I don't want to download from the internet. Really, we love and use firefox. I had to remove firefox because it came with the virus of Babylon.

    If you have been Babylon when you installed Firefox you may have installed it from an authoritative source (the only official place and secure to download Firefox from www.getfirefox.comEast). Please, never download Firefox from anywhere else.

    So, for your computers, be sure to download Firefox from www.getfirefox.comand you download the version official, convenient and safe.

    If you get Babylon on your computer, you can remove it easily without having to remove Firefox by reading How to remove the toolbar of Babylon, home page and search engine (Please note that Babylon is not affiliated with Firefox and we actively seek to solve these problems).

    Like I said, it could be any file requiring a restore of the system to access what has been its permissions modified by malware.  If I was at that time, I would declare my compromised machine and reinstall Windows completely.  If you are determined not to reinstall, you can use a tool such as Microsoft "Process Monitor" that will display all the queue access that occur when you run the program.  You may be able to locate the file that is being denied access, but you're going to be turning to sift through a large amount of data.

    Good luck and hope this helps.

  • HP Operating System CD sold and used with the computer of the other company.

    I bought this CD from:

    AClass products

    32 c Westfield, Trading Estate

    Westfield Trading Estate

    Midsomer Norton, Somerset

    BA3 - 4BH

    United Kingdom

    I found on this CD - he wrote "For Distribution only with new" or HP Compaq PC

    Commercial sale claim, is that you can use it on any Acer, Dell, Fujitsu, Toshiba and other computer laptop or desktop - if they are, things can go wrong.

    Its great to buy a HP CD to go with the HP for laptop or desktop, even if they think that using it on other computer companies may not cause problems. If I used it on a Dell, Toshiba or another computer, I know he can or can not install, but if this is the case, it may hang after that I have try or warn just not. That is why, I know things happen. For example you get HP Logo to appear in a Dell computer, or the Dell Logo appears in an HP computer - if the computer can still run the software, the software of the BIOS has instructions Stop and Go, just like WIFI and brand cards labeled software.

    My problem or the question is, if someone claims its possible to use the CD of the HP operating system on other computers from computer companies, as if the problems never happen, its apples mixture similar to oranges unless you like a fruit salad, its best to put things in their place. I would like to know the truth of HP or an expert, some people say its strange I would have problems, they think it's harmless - there must be a reason for the problem when it is used on different computers. It would be good to know that I'm not the only one who knows how this happened, to confirm what I discovered and read, or if asked that its harmless to use with other computers, or simply absurd, and why.

    Hi Kabigan

    I even asked Microsoft and the answer they gave me, it's illegal. Society, I bought an OEM CD (Got back CD instead) and license, even to send the label with the serial number where his tell clear the Furijitsu, my old laptop computer is Hp. normally in my area where I worked as HE consultantant license belong to the preinstalled computer, it was purchased with.

    My experience it won't work, because a recovery cd is check the bios and see that this isn't the computer that made the recovery cd. I have not yet opened the package, because I consider return the cd and the company label.

    I may be wrong because I don't know the law, but normally software license is the same for the EMEA region for the whole country. It could be if she sold the Germany law differs "German Federal Court of Justice 06/07/2000 (find ZR 244/97) distribution of OEM and DSP licensing."

  • Move Windows 7 from one computer to the other.

    I installed Windows 7 on my desktop, but would prefer to have on my laptop.  How can I disable on my desktop to install on my laptop?  The Office has been an update to XP.  I have so that I can boot XP as a dual boot.

    If it is a license to retail - Yes, you can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time. The previous installation of Windows 7 must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turn on the second computer will automatically deactivate the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses are bound to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer.

    I have so that I can boot XP as a dual boot.

    For a double start requires a full Windows 7 license, not a license upgrade.
