Can see computer as media device, but not like a computer...

Three computers, all the running Windows 8.1. An office is connected by Ethernet to the router, another desktop and laptop are connected by WiFi. Network detection enabled in all three, and all have internet access.

WiFi computers can see each other. Can't see the Ethernet Office at all. The Office of Ethernet, strangely enough, sees the other two, but only as a multimedia device, not as a computer.

No idea why?

Can you try running the integrated "Homegroup troubleshooter diagnosis."  This will help even if you do not use the homegroup feature, because this diagnosis (which is really just a front-end for a couple of powershell commands script) is re - initialize all the network discovery and send new messages broadcast to the network to announce that a particular PC is available and online (if the computer browser service running on other machines it will detect and fill).

Don't do it all at once, but run the troubleshooter on all computers, one after the other.  It is rarely necessary, but good for restart after they have all done.  Also when you run it, choose the "Advanced" and choose to run it as an administrator (because it should reset and configure system services, it is not complete unless you choose that on the 1st page of the troubleshooting tool).

    Hi Mike,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Since it has been designed to work with Vista, XP & 2000, it may not work in Windows 7 due to incompatibility problem. Therefore, I suggest you to visit the Web site of the manufacturer of the hard drive and download the driver available for the latest operating system.

    If the driver is not available for Windows 7, download the compatible driver for the previous version of Windows and I install it in compatibility mode.

    a. do the driver installation file right click and select Properties and then tap or click on the compatibility tab.

    b. check in the run this program in compatibility mode for: box.

    c. press or click the menu drop down and select a previous operating system, and then tap or click OK.

    d. try to install the driver and verify.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    When connecting to the ESX host through the 'connect to server' Fusion Pro I can see data banks but not the virtual machine.

  • The colors for my Google calendar disappeared. I can see with Safari and Chrome, but not with Firefox.

    I use Windows 7. I tried to delete the cookies and cache. Nothing has changed. There is no similar problem with all other browsers: Safari, Chrome or Internet Explorer. I restarted my computer. I had to send this chrome because Firefox does not load correctly your site after many attempts. The colors seem to be rinsed at each site. Is there an easy way to restore the colors?

    Thank you.

    Firefox fits pretty well most of the themes of Windows 7, but in some cases, there may be glitches, particularly with the themes "high contrast".

    You are allowing Web sites to specify their colors or their substitution? This is a setting that you can change in the Options.

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > content

    Click on the 'Colors' button and make sure that the box is checked for "allow pages to choose their own colors".

    Not turning off"use graphics processor" in the Performance preference and restarting Photoshop have a bearing on the issue.

  • The internet connection on my laptop and other portable device, but not in my office.

    Data sheet:

    -Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

    -All browsers and devices are up-to-date.
    Questions:
    I have this problem since yesterday and I tried to solve this problem since.
    The problem is that on my connection (WiFi) network, it says I have access to the internet, and of course it does because I can use internet without problem on my laptop, iphone and other portable device, but not in my office. It says I have an internet connection and when I ping a browser it answers correctly and it gives me all the Member States and other information.
    When I troubleshoot it it gives me something like "your computer seems to be configured correctly, but the device or resource (www.microsoft.com) is not responding." I thought it was a DNS problem so I reset everything, but no luck. Here are things I tried to solve this problem.
    -Reset TCP/ip using cmd.
    -Check if the IP is obtained automatically.
    -Check if I'm using the proxy server.
    -Rebooted (reinstalled windows)
    and many other things that I have searched on google
    But these proposals did not fix the problem.

    Hi zinx2op,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Communities. The description of the problem, I understand that you are not able to connect to the WiFi of the desktop computer. Provide the following information for the better understanding of the issue:

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         You use a third-party security software?

    ·         If it works well before?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Follow these steps:

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

    Startup options (including safe mode)

    Step 2: If the problem does not persist in safe mode with networking, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 7 the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 3: Follow the steps in the article.

    If you try installation 'auto', then you will not get this option. Try the manual installation option, and you can select the option to keep the email on the server. Please note that this option is available for the POP3 e-mail account. With IMAP and Exchange sync is always maintained. POP is "only a download" Protocol. Try that and let us know how that works.

    Vodkaholic27, let me start with the layoff of vodka for a bit and then set Virtual Machine network card to bridged and then assign a static IP address that is appropriate for the guest as the physical LAN operating system is the host.  Then in the local physical network for static IP address router you assigned in the guest OS configure it to allow Port Forwarding on the appropriate port.  Then, you will be able to access from outside local physical host network.  If it's just on the other system on the physical LAN to the host that you want to access the guest you need not set up the Port Forwarding on the router on the local physical host network, simply use linked by a bridge to the network adapter in the Virtual Machine.  If you use NAT to the NIC of the Virtual Machine, then you need to set Port Forwarding in the virtual network Editor.

    Note: The virtual network Editor is not installed by default in Vmware Player 3.x and later versions.

    ==========

    To install the missing virtual network Editor, the command prompt:

    VMware-player-*.exe -e c:\vmptmp
    

    Then in the c:\vmptmp folder find the file c:\vmptmp\network.cab and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually 'C:\Program VMware Player' or ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Player.  You can create a shortcut and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player, if you want to access it more easily.  Note: there are some for all the files to be extracted to then access the network.cab file.

  • I can connect to the local network, but not to the internet

    Why in an internet connection, I can connect to the Local network, but not to the Internet.
    I have valid IP address and configuration is good.

    I recommend you read some threads here in the forum about similar issues.
    If this problem occurs using the WiFi network, then check if you can use the connection to the local network.
    Using the WiFi network, you must check if the common WLan parameters are favourable;
    Check if the encryption key is right; turn off filtering by mac address, check the TCP/IP protocol settings if it has been set to automatic, disable the firewall settings, rest you WLan router, check if you connected to the right SSID.
