• ICF on Windows 7: how to change the location of the home network be connected?

  Windows on Windows 7 firewall - ' Home or work (private) networks are not connected and 'Public networks' are connected. This prevents the PC to be seen on my home network.

  How can I change the location of the home network be connected?
  I have internet access but cannot connect to a network.

  Go to "Network and sharing Center" > click on "Customize" > change the location of the 'Public', 'private '.

  Edit
  Sorry the above is garbage, I was on mode vista.

  Try, 'network and sharing Center' in the section 'Show your active networks' - it can show 'Public network' or 'work '. If, so click on the one which is indicated and select "home network".

  Note:
  If the other PC on your network are Win XP you can change the name of working group of win7 in "MSHOME".
  IE "network and sharing Center" > click on the arrow down to the network discovery > change settings > tab computer name > change.

• Can completely connect to the guest computers VM to other physical PCs on the home network

  VMWare Workstation 6.5 runs on a Windows Vista 64 - bit PC. With work stations, we have 2 computers invited running: TerriVM and MattVM (these two are running Windows XP SP2). We are seeking a virtual network set up so we can access the files on both of these customers other VM systems real PC connected to the home network.

  We believe that we are close, but we can not quite do things... This is what we have done so far:

  • On VM Workstation, we define "host virtual network mapping" to use VMnet0 with the parameter "bridge to an adapter automatically chosen."

  • On each virtual machine guest (i.e. using Windows Explorer in XP), we rightmouse on the C drive, click the 'Sharing' tab, set share name to 'C_Disk' and tick the two boxes marked "_Share this folder on the network_" and "_Allow the network users to change my files.txt '.

  Symptoms:

  On "JohnsRealXP" PC, we go to Windows Explorer, my computer, map network drive, type in the folder text box: *.
  TerriVM\C_Disk * and assign drive T letter. We see all the files on the shared drive and can open files on them. So that's good.

  On "JohnsRealXP" PC, we go to Windows Explorer, my computer, * card

  Road network *, type in the folder text box: *.
  MattVM\C_Disk *.

  and assign the drive letter Mr. we get a message "_the network path" box
  mattvm\C_Disk could not be found_.

  Otherwise, just beat us
  mattvm\ in the folder and click on 'Browse' and get a dialog box where go down us "Entire network" to "Microsoft Windows network" "Workgroup" where TerriVM and MattVM are among the computers on the network. By clicking on the + sign next to MattVM gives an hourglass and never hit the OK button and I have to cancel.

  In summary, I think that we have tried to share both of these virtual machines using the same techniques and communicate with them in a similar way, but connects correctly and the other machine is visible but no shared resources to this topic are accessible. Can anyone suggest something perhaps overlooked or something to try? Thank you very much in advance.

  You're IP Configuration looks good, the MAC address is different (which sometimes isn't the case when people clone their guests). So no complaints here.

  What about firewalls?

  NetBIOS is enabled on MattVM (it shows an unknown node type).

  MattVM is also no DNS search suffix. "Have you tried to map the drive with.

• Wireless acting funny after having removed the PC on the home network - router WRT54G

  Lately I had a strange problem with my wireless. Internet works fine on my laptop and computer laptop of my fiance, but I have the following questions:

  2 X - Box Live connection interrupts the connection once every 2 or 3 minutes about, constantly.

I connected to the wireless network without existing, although during the first week, there was some notable slowly down on me and my fiance wireless from time to time.

  However, I recently bought an xbox wireless adapter and was very disappointed by the loss of connection. When I test the connection it says I am connected but my "NAT" is moderate. My config is set so that uPNP is enabled, but I still have this problem. At the same time, we noticed that our Vonage has been screwed up and had the above mentioned problem.

  Today, I tried to connect to the site 192.168.1.1 to access my linksys config page, but I can't access it and as I said, when I ping the IP, I got 100% packet loss.

• I don't want to be on the home network

  I rent a room that I am allowed to use wireless Internet. However, there is a new roommate in the House that has set up a home network who understand me. I won't be on the home network. Is this possible? and how?

  I have laptop with Windows Vista, manufacturer - Hewlett-Packard. It's a laptop Compaq Presario F700, processor - AMD Turion (tm) 64 x 2 Mobile Technology TL-58 1.90 GB. I chose the Public network through the network and sharing Center.

  As I am on home network, I have to go through his computer. I saw that clearly on the map of connection through the network and sharing Center window. The path is the Internet of his computer, his computer to the device and Internet gateway device of Internet gateway on my computer. When it is off, the path is directly from the Internet to my computer.

  Based on the Help window, if I understand correctly, the only way is that it disable ICS (Internet Connection in), but he won't do that. He wouldn't even talk to me. It enabled ICS not to mention me and by this law introduced me to be in his home network. I want to just connect directly to the Internet as the way he did before he came to the House.

  Help, please.

• New dv - 6033cl 6 connects to the home network.

  I just bought this laptop yesterday. During the initial installation, he finds my home network easily and worked well. Last night, it stop working. He sees the network, but does not connect.

  Computer is Win 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.

  Can I wireless home from my phone, so it CAN connect.

  I updated my firmware to the router (Linksys WRT150N), strengthened the WPA2-Personal security and restarted the router. Nothing helps.

  I have three other computers running Windows 7 here (2 are HP, it's a Sony) and a Sony Vista - all these are perfectly connected to the home network.

  I'm frustrated - ideas? Thank you very much for your help!

  I have trouble with my router channels too, and which did not help. I was kind of beat my head against the wall last night...

  You know what finally worked? I turned off the Bluetooth. As soon as that blew up, the wireless immediately (and automatically) hooked up to my home network. Crazy, isn't it?

  I really appreciate all the help and advice ~ thank you for your time!

• Transfers of extremely slow files on the home network 802.11 g

  Hello

  I have a home network with only two devices (more the router) on this subject.  The first is a portable computer, the second is a desktop PC / multimedia.

  My problem is that when I try to transfer a file from one computer to another, the transfer is terribly slow (for example, a 200 MB file will take 30 minutes).  I know that we cannot wait to be as fast as advertised wireless transfer rates by the manufacturer, but 100 kb/s is just too slow - especially when you consider that I can download files from the internet (on the home network, through the same router) to > 600 kb / s.  So, while I am very confused of what could be the problem, I'm pretty of course it is not a question of signal strength (and leaning me more towards a PC issue rather than a router problem).
  I looked online and saw people suggests to disable remote differential Compression and WIndows meeting space (which I did on both computers) - but my problem persists.

  Someone at - it any other suggestions?

  Thank you!
