Cannot connect two computers windows 7 for the file and printer sharing

Original title: trying to share files and printers on two computers and seem to have a firewall problem! Windows 7 is on both computers.

I went through the setup procedures, I think, but still actually will not connect.

Hello

·        How are you trying to share files and printer through the group home or workgroup?

·        What is put in place procedures have you tried?

·        How do you know that there is a problem with the firewall?

 

Step 1:

Temporarily, you can try disabling the firewall on the system and check. See the article mentioned below.

Firewall: Frequently asked questions

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/firewall-frequently-asked-questions

I also suggest you to disable the security software and check if you are able to establish a connection between the two systems.

Note: Activate the wall and fire safety software once the scans.

 

Step 2:

I suggest you follow the steps mentioned in the articles below.

    Please don't give me that: "If you try to connect to another computer, make sure that this computer is on, that you have enabled file and printer sharing on both computers, and file and printer sharing can communicate through your firewall."

    Hi Katmandu774,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    The Public folder is a convenient way to share files that are stored on your computer. You can share files in this folder with other people using the same computer and with people using other computers on the same network. Any file or folder you put in the folder Public is automatically shared with the people who have access to your Public folder.

    If you are not on a domain, you can limit network access to the Public folder so that people with a user account and password for this computer. To do this, turn on sharing protected by password.

    1. Open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
    2. Click the arrow next to password protected sharing, and then click one of the following options:

    ·         Turn on password protected sharing

    ·         Turn off password protected sharing

    1. Click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To control the level of access to the Public folder

     

    1. Open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
    2. Click the arrow next to public folder sharing, and then click one of the following options:

    ·         Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open files

    ·         Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open, change and create files

    ·         Turn off sharing (people logged on to this computer can still access this folder)

    1. Click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Also, make sure you add everyone to the public folder and give the necessary permissions to access it.

    Original title: "home network".

    0 x 80070035 "[name of the PC] is not configured to establish a connection on Port"File and Printer sharing (SMB)"on this computer".

    That's what I get on my ThinkPad when I try to do the networking. I placed all the parameters correctly: all 3 of my computers are set the same. 2 workstations work perfectly. They can even see the laptop but not to open all files. The laptop can, open same network t itself file. But he can see the whole of the network (including a printer, is told by the way). I, ve gone through all parameters twice. I've even set the C drives to share via the menus of context on each computer. I have visited many forums with none even come close to this problem (they all will tell you how to set the network parameters or they get very technical and over my head).

    I tried with & without a firewall.

    No password.

    I use a wired network.

    Laptop & 1 desktop computer running vista - 1 desktop computer running xp.

    They have all the latest service packs ms & udates.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    These files can be opened by norton or lenovo network setting apps. The settings do not work only in the application of network of vista. Nor can I work norton or lenovo from other computers.

    PS how can I ensure these settings effect may just lan and do not extend to the internet?

    Thank you bb

    I tried new drivers & returned through sharing & permissions, according to Jack, but he was not good. At the level of experience of my computer I can miss something obvious, but I doubt it because I've been very careful in following the instructions. I am experencing other problems with this laptop as well and I'll just get all. I am planing to get back anyway, that's why I needed network. I wanted to Exchange files over the network to avoid having to ' wait & swap "usb drives. Thanks anyway. Thank you BB bb

    Jim

    Plug-Ins? They may be out there!

    Ideally, Photoshop is the best answer.

    But if you can save the PNG files with transparency you can easily design your own designs 'simple '.

    Design any style 'Overlay' with transparency (Roses in my video screen), this applies to any print in the print as a graphical identity plate module.

  • Cannot connect two computers for games.

    I am trying to connect two computers for games (Age of Empires 3) purposes, but when is connected the two with a cable ethernet (using a filter at one end adapter) nothing happens, I can't see not his computer on my laptop and it can't see my computer on his. In the game, I see his match but he can't see mine, and when I try to connect to the sound he says impossible to reach. Tried to make it work for days now and I'm at the end of my rope PLEASE HELP!

    As a quick test to go Control Panel - firewall Windows and disabling the firewall to see if it works. If you have a 3rd party software AV Firewall control may be in this control panel software.

    As the two PC is connected back to back without access to a DHCP server, they should award an APIPA IP address that should work. To eliminate the problems addressing assign a static IP on both.

    Properties of the Control Panel - Network and sharing Center - change adapter settings - Rt click on Local Area connection-

    In TCP/IP V4 each assign a static IP 192.168.0.X where x is between 1 and 254 and the 2 PC's are different so for example10 and 20, 100 or 1. The value of 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, save the changes and test the connection.

    If disabling the firewall resolves you can add an exception to the firewall program to allow the age3.exe through the firewall. More information here, as you ar accommodation only play locally just look at the top.

  • User cannot connect again PC Windows 7, error "the user profile service has no logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

    Our plant manager just got a new PC and I've set up with Windows 7.  I can log on fine using my user account.  But when it tries to connect, it receives the "the user profile service has no logon. Error could not load the user profile.  It can connect to other computers fine, Windows XP & Windows 7 computers.  It's just that a laptop could not connect to.

    It was a VIP user.  He's my boss of bosses bosses if you know what I mean.  What I can do.  I tried "patches" for the mistake that I found online, but none of them helped.
    Help me!  Please, I beg you!

    I did other tests just now and I seemed to have found a "solution".  Here are the steps:

    1 Add the user to the local Administrators group
    2 log in as a user
    3. close the user session
    4 log in as network administrator / local
    5 remove the user from the Administrators group
    6 log in as user
    7. the success!

  • Cannot connect two computers

    Original title: New Connection Wizard

    Hello

    In Windows XP, I could easily create a new connection by using the wizard. I need to connect directly to another computer (actually it's an on-board in the development system), but there is not a similar option in Winows 7. I checked the options in the network and sharing Center, but all of them are for Internet, routers, access points, wireless or VPN connections. I just need a connection directly to another computer in Windows 7.

    As I said before this option was available in Win XP to the new connection wizard > Set up and advanced connection > connect directly to another computer.

    Where can I end the equivalent option in Win 7?

    Thank you!

    I went to upload my site on my creative cloud storage and none of my recent cases appear in the folder when it is opened. They are there when I check from inside the Muse, however, when I open the for download only older versions appear and I can't raise the new, for the life of me!

    Hi Susan,.

    Can you please check if the creative cloud synchronization is on?

    If this is the case, it must create a folder on your computer with the name of "Creative cloud files.

    You can then copy and beyond your Muse files in this folder and they will be automatically synced to your cloud storage.

  • Size for the file booklet printing problem

    Hello folk forum!

    While developing a PDF booklet for printing to the local copy shop, I came across a problem, I feel that I've not had before.

    When I "export" my document of 28 pages in PDF format it is about 27 MB, which is logical. However, when I use the option "print booklet" my record is rather 2.2 mb. Of course, the PDF booklet looks like garbage and export non-carnet seems.

    Is it possible to choose subsampling for the print booklet option? I can't seem to find an option to do this and with the help of Indesign files do not really mention that.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Matt O.

    You need not touch the Distiller.

    In the print booklet dialog box choose print settings, in the dialog box that is generated, choose printer Adobe PDF 9.0 for a printer, you choose 'PDF options' and you can set what you want.

    It is kept by document but you will need to make a "Preset" If you want to use it in others.
