    Hi Jer9009,

    Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.

    ·         Could you give the exact error code or error number you get?

    To connect multiple computers, install a network adapter in each and run a network CAT5 cabling to connect each one to a hub (and thus the other.) The computer that will serve as a transition will have a standard network card for wired and a wireless network adapter that will connect to the wireless (WAP) access point or gateway on the second network.

    A network bridge is software or hardware that connects two networks or more so that they can communicate. You can create only a single bridge network on a computer, but a bridge can handle any number of network connections.

  • How can I sync Outlook folders to my Iphone 5s?

    I have Outlook express set in place on my laptop. Once I move emails to a folder n my laptop, I can't access these folders on my Iphone, so impossible to open your emails.

    I have an Iphone 5, iOS 9.3.1.

    It seems that if you have a POP account, on the one hand, and secondly, Outlook Express is not supported by the phone. You can create folders that would synchronize between devices with an IMAP e-mail account. But, if you actually use Outlook Express, this is one is plu product from an earlier version of Windows. The current version for mail that comes for free on Windows Live Mail computers, is Outlook.com.

  • can not sync music to any memory card in Windows Media Player due to the error Windows encountered a problem when synchronizing the file to the device.

    Original title: can not sync music to any Windows Media Player memory card

    This has not happened before, but now, whenever I want to sync music to any memory card, it does not work. It makes the whole process, and it did as it syncs, but at the end of that music just does not appear in the memory card. If I go to the status of the synchronization, all songs appear with a RED x next and it says that Windows has encountered a problem during the synchronization of the file to the device. How can I fix it? as I said before, this has not happened before.

  • Networking a laptop 64 bit Windows 7 with a desktop computer Windows Vista 64-bit

    I have a Dell desktop running 64-bit Windows Vista with a USB connected HP Photosmart printer operating system.  My wife used to have a laptop with an XP operating system and we have had no problem sharing the printer.  Now she has a laptop (HP) laptop to Windows 7 64 bit and fails to print.

    His laptop is connected wireless to Verizon FIOS router (wireless-g, I think).  I am connected by ethernet.

    If I look at a map of the comprehensive network of my Vista PC I can see his laptop and explore appropriate records of (public) level on his hard drive.   Sharing my Vista PC and are discovery options: network discovery:; File sharing:. Public folder sharing:; Printer sharing:; Password protected sharing: Off; The media sharing: Off.  My Vista shows the home network as a WORKING group.

    I use McAfee SecurityCenter and when I open the McAfee network map it also shows my wife's cell phone with its IP address.

    On my wife's cell phone two PCs appear on the map of the comprehensive network of the window and it shows my PC IPv4, IPv6 and MAC address, but if I try to 'Open' from my PC to the icon on the map, I get an error message suggesting I be spelled the name wrong or there is a network problem (error code 0 x 80070035 the network path was not found).  I ran the diagnostic of the error dialog box and he suggested to "make sure that the device allows incoming connections for printing and file sharing", the windows firewall settings.  Its network card qualifies to the network TPEN1, identity, assigned to the Verizon router. It shows his laptop connected by a dotted line (wireless)? to TPEN1 which is connected to a switch.  My PC is also connected to the switch which in turn is connected by a bridge to the Internet.  Options advanced sharing his PC for the home or work (current profile) are set on: turn on the discovery network. Enable file sharing and printing; Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in public folders;  Media streaming is disabled; Use 128-bit encryption to protect file sharing connections (recommended); Disable password protected sharing;  Use the user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers.

    Its Norton Internet Security Network security map shows my PC as being in line with trust to full trust level.  It also shows the Swith and 2 generic devices with Shared Trust.

    So... anyone have any suggestions?

    The info goes through the motions of the configuration and verify most of the common aspects of the functionality of Windows OS' LAN.

    ----------------------

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    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 .

    Since you have a network with Win 7 and the other version of Windows, you must configure Windows 7 as work network.

    In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

    Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

    When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

    Please note that the users and groups listed on the screen shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

    ---------------------

    You should consider that many times the final solution could involve total uninstall of the 3rd party security Suits.

    In this case, you can be set at the same level with installing Microsoft Security Essentials which are used in the applications of a native Vista/Win 7 firewall and AntiVirus/AntiSpyware.

  • How can I exclude specific folders of the indexing of Windows Media Player stream?

    Windows Media Player 12 has removed the possibility of excluding some files being indexed.  This feature was available in Windows Media Player 11.  I need to be able to exclude some records indexed because I have collections of photos that are too big for the WMP player to manage.

    Excluding these folders in the library WMP is not an option because MediaCenter uses the settings of the library to determine where to find pictures (even if it does not use the library to view photos or videos - just the WMP settings) so if they are not included in the library WMP, I can't see them in MediaCenter, but if they are in the WMP library he freezes everything for 30 minutes whenever I turn on an Extender that forces a re-analysis of the WMP library.

    I tried to edit wmpfolders.wmdb to exclude certain files, but the changes that I last only for a few hours to a day or two.

    any ideas?

    Thank you
    Dan

    Hi Khaled, thank you very much for your answer.  My question was related to the media library in Windows Media Player, but your response was to Windows 7 libraries.  Unfortunately, your answer does not apply to my question.

    What I need to be able to do, is to exclude a folder from indexing of Windows Media Player streams although it is included in the list of folders to the index.  It's because the Media Center uses the settings of the library Windows Media Player to determine where to find pictures.  However, it does not use the Windows Media Library to view the photos.  It is, therefore, no need to have Windows Media Player, indexing of thousands of photos when Media Center does not even use the library to display.

    The problem is that when I let Windows Media Player scan my pics, it causes all to slow down for 30 minutes or more each time I light a MediaCenter extender because it is re-scanner all my photos.  However, if I let Windows Media Player not scan my photos, so they are not visible in the MediaCenter.  There is a catch 22.

  • How can I reduce the resolution of my laptop on Windows 8.1 integrated camera?

    I want to reduce the amount of GB I find myself using Skype conversations by reducing the resolution of the camera of my laptop. I looked on the control panel-> Device Manager->-> front camera imaging devices and right-click on it to see if she will allow me to change the settings for resolution, and I see no option to do so. If someone knows if it is possible on Windows 8.1 at all? As for some, I know that on the Apple Mac laptops can reduce the resolution of the camera with some applications, not otherwise. Thank you!

    It wouldn't have a Windows option, it would be the manufacturer of the camera.  If their driver software includes an option, then you can use it. But only your manufacturer or instruction manual would know if your model has all the options like that.

    You see Synaptics tab? In the affirmative, please use this tab to disable the touchpad, if no, you must use the tab settings of the HP control area (for the newer machines). And in both cases, check the box "turn off internal...." 'and 'Apply'.
