Automating discovery of the network in Windows 7

Hello

I use Windows 7 Ultimate. The problem is when I go to network it keep ask me ' network discovery and file sharing is disabled. " Click here to change. " 

It is so annoying to always click on that and select Public or private profile.

I put the SSDP Discovery service to start automatically, but it is not affected Network Discovery Service.

It is in the firewall exceptions.

How to set or configure the network discovery so it starts automatically when the PC starts every time?

Also

I want to stop computer remotely.

When he does it disables the network discovery because of Security Issues (Sounds like IP-Sec or something totally unaware of it). I want to turn it off or want to add Exception since it is linked only in the private network.

Add Exception or lower security on off the computer remotely?

    The primary use of the network discovery is for IPS recommendation firesight political and awareness on user data in firesifght.

    Hello

    Maybe this can help.
    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • No discovery of the network when used in bridge (NAT) network?

    After allowing the network discovery in my guest (Windows Server 2008 R2) I can see the name of the client and the host machine in the node of the Windows Explorer 'network '. But I don't see any physical computer connected to the network.

    It is a peculiarity of the bridged networking? It is possible to discover all my other machines without having to go to NAT to any other type of network?

    Dear WhiteKnight

    I must say that we are dangerous, given our Avatar

    OK what I realized, is that when we use the network address translation, we are between our internal and external IP
    So basically, we create the router or switch with transmission of the tables that would be the internal network packets routing to the outside and vice versa.

    Bridged longer connect our network to an uplink or a switch, here, in our scenario, it would be ports VM bridge to our ports on vSwitch and then they replicate that they are connected in a physical way.

  • Cannot access the readynas via the network of windows 7 since the 65.5 update

    I have a readynas 102 fixed by a switch to a windows 7 computer pro.

    Before the update, to 65.5 I could still access the files on my readynas 102 (name: homedrive) by selecting it under Network > homedrive

    Since the update, it still appears in 'network', but clicking on does not give me access more :-(

    I found that I can open the homedrive ready nas using the IP (\\192.***.*.***) in a new window of Solution Explorer. The media unit also works very well to access music. But why can't access through the 'network' - and why he always appears without giving me access...

    I guessed that maybe it's to do with the new credentials of connection (since the change of a name of the EBU to an e-mail address), but how to change it in my windows pc network?

    Any help would be great and simple steps please! Thank you very much.

    Thanks to your inspiration I solved it my changing the password of the network connection of the former username of pre update for the new updated post e-mail deal as username via windows credentials... thank you everyone :-)

  • Pavilion dv6000: Pavilion dv6000 can't connect to the network after windows 10 upgrade from windows 7

    Need help; I have upgraded to windows 10 and my old laptop has given fresh life.  He hastened to start and stop, did not freeze the computer programs and internet was super fast.  Then it wouldn't connect all of a sudden, or even acknowledge all networks.  No internet is portable useless.  I researched and found that many had problems with card after the upgrade to windows 10, so I started windows 7 and have no problem connecting.  I had a glimpse of what was possible with windows 10 and I want it! can someone help me understand what driver I need to download it to a flash drive before moving on again to 10.

    Well, there is little hope for you, since you have an Intel wireless card.

    I have a HP nc6400 with the same card as yours and it worked very well on W10, and then he leaves suddenly.

    Not as bad than what you lived, but I had to keep restarting the machine and sometimes, it would be just the connection and would not reconnect.

    Here's what I did to solve the problem with mine, so I hope it will work for you too...

    I used this driver... a first on the list for 32 bit.

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/22116/Intel-PROSet-Wireless-software-and-drivers-for-Windows-7-

    Then I changed some advanced settings for the card in the Device Manager.

    Here is a list type of Intel wireless settings and how to access.

    There are more settings on the link that we have for our particular model card.

    http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking/000005585.html

    Here are the advanced settings, which I've listed for mine...
