  .. all I see is a list for a McAfee driver but nothing for Microsoft. I removed my computer some time ago with McAfee & he must have created problems that I can't see other computers on the network. Is there a Microsoft driver, I need to install and which will help to solve the problem of not seeing other computers on the network.

  On the general tab of the properties of your network connection to the LAN card, you should see a box under the heading "this connection uses the following items."  Most Windows XP configurations for home use have 4 entries in this box: Client for Microsoft Networks, QoS Packet Scheduler, file sharing and printers for Microsoft Networks, and Internet (TCP/IP) Protocol.

  If you don't have these, you need to install, even if you really need not the Scheduler of QoS packages.

  You seem to have got almost to the right place, but be aware that when you click on the button 'Install' in the box, you are given 3 choices: customer, Service and Protocol.  The "Client for Microsoft networks" is obviously a "customer." 'Internet (TCP/IP) Protocol' is a 'Protocol' and the other two are "Services".

• Cannot see other computers on the network of the office.

  I can't see other computers on the network from my office, but if I type in \\xxxxxxxxxxx I'm able to get on the other computers on the network. How can I have them automatically appear?

  I'm terribly sorry for wasting your time.

  I realized what the problem was. I've implemented the new computer exactly as the old, same name and everything. Come and find the computer name of the computer being the same as the old conflict and did not again see what was on the network.

  So the trick was unplug the old computer from the network.

• Win 7 computer cannot see the computers on the network

  We have 3 computers on our network. A desktop computer running a laptop running Win 7 x 64, an office equipped with Win Vista and Win XP. All 3 are connected to the same workgroup and are properly connected to the internet. The two workstations can see and the laptop on the network and can move the files to the laptop, but the laptop cannot see other computers on the network. Whenever I try to open the network to move files to another computer, the icon just mouse sits and turns and the page remains blank. I thought that maybe he just needs time to see everything, left like that for hours without success. I went through all the troubleshooting steps in the win7 with nothing working Help Center. I don't understand why, if all the computers are on the same network, they can see me, but I don't see them. I am obviously connected properly so they can move the files to my computer. It may be unrelated, but I also can't update windows, keep getting error 80246008 when I try to run the update. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

• I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer.

  I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer. The computers are connected by a switch, fixed IP addresses that are correctly configured and point to a DNS server outside the network. When I try to open the icon for one of the computers, he asked for credentials. I try to type the user name for the computer that is sharing the resource and the password. It is the user account whose computer is loged on and belongs to the Administrators group. for example: user name (Computer1\username) password (password). It does not work. The Windows Firewall is disabled on all computers. It worked well there 2 days. I can't find anything wrong with the network settings. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

  If the portion of the machine has activated - Simple file sharing (i.e. it is XP Home or it is XP Pro with Simple (default) file sharing) - while all file sharing connections authenticate as user 'guest '.  It will not matter what username / password you provide, it will attempt to authenticate as 'guest '.  If the guest user has received a password or the guest account is not active, you will experience the symptoms you describe.

  If the serving machine running XP Pro and Simple file sharing is disabled, then you should be able to connect by specifying the user as computer\user and the password to connect.  To turn off Simple file sharing:

• Cannot see other computers on my workgroup

  I wiped my computer "arizonahp" and did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.  Everything works fine except that it cannot see other computers on my working group (all current running xp) and they know more see 'arizonahp '.  I clear my name of working group "yorklan" in my computer.  Previously, arizonahp was a vista machine and he could see and be seen.

  What could be the problem?
  Thank you

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

  Discovery of plug in the network
  Open the files and printers sharing
  Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
  Plug the password protected sharing

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, running on Windows 7 sharing files and printer as above will take care of this for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

  Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• WRT160N - can't see other computers on the network

  I installed a new WRT160N and now I can't see other computers on my local network, but I can access the internet on each of them.

  Y at - it a setting that I need to change or what I need to use static IP instead of DHCP addresses?

  If you cannot ping the other computers on the network, then check your firewall settings or any other security software blocking the connection.

• Why I see 2 other computers on my network?

  I noticed in my network that there are 2 other computers and mine, in a "working group", but I'm an end user and I'm not part of a working group. This is a very recent appearance. I couldn't find a way to determine why I see other computers in this working group, and I can't find information on the activation or deactivation of "working group" on my system. I connect via the wireless router for my Internet service provider, and it's a bit confusing to me.

  I had problems with slow browsers and I noticed in the performance monitoring that is spiking my CPU (dual core AMD 2 gig), and my use of memory (2 GB) is 50% or more almost constantly, but I can't see anything using resources in 'programs' or 'services '. I tried to eliminate all junk startup and uninstall all the frivolous programs. Of course, I'm still under a bunch of stuff, but I suspect that something is not right.

  All the comments about the browser of fortification and slow CPU and if so or not, this could have something to do with the working group that I see?

  Hello

  If your wireless connection is not secure, it could be neighbors connecting to your Internet connection.

  -------------------
  Of the weaker for wireless security, more strong capacity is.

  No security
  Switch Off SSID (even has No Security. SSID can be sniffed easily even if it is turned off)
  MAC Filtering___ (Band Aid if nothing else is available, MAC number can be easily Spoofed).
  WEP64___ (Easy, "Break" by knowledgeable people).
  WEP128___ (a little more difficult to activate, but "Piraté" too).
  -------------------
  The three above are not considered safe.
  Safe starts here at WPA.
  -------------------

  WPA-PSK__(Very Hard to Break).
  WPA-AES__(Not functionally Breakable)
  WPA2___ (not functionally breakable).

  Note 1: WPA - AES the current interpretation level entry of WPA2.

  Documentation of your devices (router wireless and computer wireless card) must indicate the type of security that is available with your wireless hardware.

  All devices MUST be set to the same level of security using the same password.
  Therefore, security must be set according to what is the best possible one of the wireless devices.

  I.e. even if most of your system may be able to be configured to the maximum with WPA2, but a device is able to be configured for maximum of the WEP Protocol, to the whole system must be configured to WEP.

  If you need more security and a device (such as a wireless card that can only do WEP) is now better security for the entire network, replace with a better device.

• can't see other computers

  Hello - for the first time post here - thank you in advance for your help-
  I have that I connect to my computer with a static ip address. I use mac and pc.
  I use the mac for a specific job and they have no problem to communicate with every President, even across the country.
  I have several printers and never mac or pc can be printed on them. they have their own static ip address.
  But I have the PC connect in the same workgroup. (cannot ping for them)

  3. use vista 32-bit home
  I want to use quickbooks Prime Minister.
  I want to have the files in the second computer (vista 32 bit)
  But I cannot ping these computers have all the same the same default gateway, subnet mask, even preferred, and replacing the server. and Yes different IP or different last number.
  I can see them in the entire map of the view, but I can't do anything els.
  I hope that I am presence can I need help.

  Hi Devil52,

  A. What is the error message when you try to ping the computers on the network?

  B. do you have any antivirus installed on those computers?

  (C) what happens when you try to ping from a default gateway on each of these computers?

  D. you are able to access them through the computer names?

  First of all, you can try to disable the firewall and see if the problem persists.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

  Second, try to ping your own IP address or disable the firewall of the router and see if you are able to ping other computers on the network. You may need to contact your ISP to disable the firewall of the router.

  Since then, we can see the computers on the network, you can try to bypass the router and other computer and let us know the result

• Network management problem, computer laptop Windows 7 will not find other computers on any network, however all other computers on the network can access Windows 7 laptop.

  Basically, the issue I'm having is that my laptop does not connect to any other computer to access the actions or other files.  Other computers on the network can access my computer laptop shares and files without any problems.  Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.

  What I tried:

  restarted
  uninstalling and reinstalling the files and printers, sharing maps and restart after completion
  all disabled firewall
  tried with IPv6 enabled and disabled without change, so it is currently enabled
  tried on a Wi - Fi and the differences are listed below in the section work (work is wireless)
  able to ping other comptuers
  access to other computers is permitted by other computers

  problem extends over several networks, IE I noticed it at home last night and the followed problem my laptop at work this morning.
  The problem is slightly different on the two sites.

  At home:
  I can see the other computers on the network, but I am unable to access it, even if I have permission, but other computers can access to my laptop.

  At work:
  Cannot even find other computers on the network but they can find and access my laptop.

  Asked this question in the Windows 7 forum also because the problem was between windows 7 and Vista.

  Hello

  If it has started, you can try a system restore - an update "might" have caused the problem.

  1. try a system restore back to a point before that happened. And immediately thereafter enter
  Control Panel - Windows updates - top left settings and set it to download and informs you instead
  Automatic. Leave it until you are sure that everything is OK and then you can add them one at a time
  to troubleshoot BUT click right on and HIDE all the driver updates. Also stop at day of drivers like below
  and let this value - manually search for drivers when you think you need. (See how and why to)
  stop day of drivers below.)

  How to make a Vista system restore
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-System-Restore-how.html

  To uninstall an update if you determine that there are problems - Panel - updated Windows - down left-
  Updates installed - uninstall

  I had completely forgotten the system restore!  While looking into the system restore, I found that when I moved into my new House and has cable Internet installed, the cable technology installed a program of comcast on my computer.  This caused me to not be able to connect with other computers.  After rolling back to install it before it works!   Thank you.

• Need for other computers on the network to access my laptop computer to run a program

  I installed a program on my computer that acts as a service and I now need to install the application on other computers on our network.  Other computers need point to my computer in order to run the program.  Even if I set the program to point to my ip address, it fails.  Do I need to add a player shared or mapped on each computer to see my computer?  I am new to this and I would appricate all the assistance.

  Thank you.

  You should check with the technical support of the mystery about its requirements for network program. Client/server different programs have different requirements. Certainly, you must assign your portable computer a static IP address. If the laptop is not always in the office or available, it is not really the choice the most suitable to host the game server a program. But presumably you know the better your situation and feel that the laptop will work. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Unable to access server vm from other computers on the network.

  SE host: Windows 7 Edition home premium 64-bit

  VM Server OS: Fedora Core 9, with a NAT net configuration

  I can access the IP address of the server to the virtual machine to the host machine, but unable to hit if other computers on the network.  This is the first time doing this on a machine Windows 7, so please let me know if Miss me something, because I did it on other OS and it worked.

  Thanx

  As I posted in your second post...

  You need to configure port forwarding if you want to access the guest from outside the host. You must change the VMWare NAT configuration for this file (see you second post).

  The host can access the guest without the redirect because it shares the same (virtual) network (VMnet8) with comments. Do not externel systems. They must go through the physical host NIC first. This is where redirection comes in the game.

• Client VPN prevents internet access from other computers on the network

  Hello.

  I run Client ver 4.6.03.0021 from an office on a network of 11 computers via a hub 16-port. Internet access is through an ICS gateway to the cable modem. Once I changed the modem cable to test a backup and then switched back to the original modem. After this, only computers that have the VPN Client (running or not) could access the internet. Computers that have no customer VPN can access only certain sites. Commonly viewed sites would say "site found. Waiting for answer", but the answer would never come and IE 6.1 cling. When I would try ping sites, it would fail. However, some sites such as Google.com would work.

  On one of the computers, on a whim of head, I installed the VPN Client but have not set up a connection. Now, this computer will connect to any website I want.

  Is there a fix easier to get access to other computers on the network without installing the VPN Client on each of them?

  Thank you

  H. Adams

  Hello

  Looks like you are running in MTU problem. The reason I say it is, automatically reduces the MTU value to 1300 VPN client during the installation for the whole system. That is to say all the client computer installed VPN that have MTU from 1300.

  Try to cut down the MTU of other systems that have no VPN client installed to 1300. If it's a Windows system, you can use Dr. TCP (free).
