  .. all I see is a list for a McAfee driver but nothing for Microsoft.

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 my network

  Santa brought me a new laptop for Christmas.  I'm now 4 laptop computers on a network.  two are Windows XP home and turn in XP Pro and it is Windows 7 starter.  I have everything in the same workgroup and put the new in this group as well.  Sometimes I can connect to others of my new machine, and sometimes I can't.  Not sure why.  Also, I have tried to share folders of the new machine, but cannot open them on other machines.  Of course, since I've not had much experience with 7 I have a bit of a problem to determine what to do next.  Can anyone help?

• 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.

• Unable to see other computers on the network

  original title: office network hiccups

  We have a simple two office network computing peer2peer, just replaced one that works Window7 now the other still on xp. Seems to be able to find each other, I probably don't do something desperate but would like advice! ? PS this is the case even though we have shortcuts on the desktop of each computer in folders on the other and this work.

  If you use a router, then ignore all references to IP addresses as your router configuration that defines for you.

• 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.

  I have worked on this problem of non stop for several hours and did much more than what is said, but I am unable to remember everything.  I should have been taking notes: P

  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.

• Published the network Variables not accessible by other computers on the network

  I am trying to create a system where a computer will display network variables that can see any computer on the network, this includes a person bringing in a laptop computer and the connection for a short period.  So I was looking through a large number of forums to find an answer and tried many solutions and nothing has worked.

  This is where I am.  On a single computer if I update a variable network it appears on the DSM NOR (Distributed System Manager) under which the name of the computer and I use this variable and it is updated.  Any other computer connected to the network also appears on the DSM.  On the other computer, he sees the first computer in the DSM, but cannot see any one of the variables.  I also register the IP address of the computer, but it does not help.  If anyone has had this problem and know how to fix?  I had the same problem using my code for the project and the example code in the shared Variable Comms between Executables.Ivproj.

  Thank you for your time

  I had some problems lately with the network stream. I know that this isn't nearly the same as shared variables, but it uses the same underlying process in windows. In my case, it's the windows firewall in Windows 7 that has the problem.

• Address IPCONFIG auto cannot locate my Ip address. Other computers on the WIFI at home have problems of "IP address conflict address" How can I fix

  Auto IPCONFIG can find 169. addresses. My IP BigPond do not answer to 169. I force the IP to get internet now. I'm trying to return to power enable all desktop computers 3 and 5 laptops (all windows) to use WIFI that we used to be able to 2 months ago. BigPond advise me to get in touch with Microsoft on 132058 and I can only do this Mon - Fri 9.00 - 5.00 which is extremely difficult so that an employee who works 12 hours. After hours of contact would be much more preferable. How can I have my computer 'automatically' identify my IP without forcing the numbers. When I force the IP on the other computers on the home WIFI network they can not access the internet due to a "conflict with an IP address. They should automatically be able to identify and define the same IP address as the primary computer without problem. How can I fix?

  It seems much more likely that the fault is in your TG782T on Windows.

  Either way, a 'normal' router will work with many more than 4 Ethernet ports (though most only have a maximum of 4 physical Ethernet Sockets) and more than 5 wireless connections.  It is therefore likely that your ISP has "customized" your device in a way that limits the number of connections - and it is probably this "customization" that gives you your current problems.  It will be a little difficult to do this via an Internet forum (rather than sitting in front of your computer), but it should be possible.

  Please specify the following sentence: "disconnect this computer and try a new computer is always the same problem as the gateway must always have this setting, this computer in IP."  What is "this setting of intellectual property?

  In the area of local connections > Internet protocols (TCP/IP), how is the 'work' computer configured?  Normally, it would set on "Obtain an IP address automatically."  What was the setting of 'alternative' that your ISP you are trying?

  The first thing to do is to get information on your work computer.  Follow these steps:

  1. click on start, and then type the three letters cmd in the run box, and then click OK.
  2. Enter the following command and press ENTER:
  ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ip.txt" {Enter}
  3. open the IP.txt file to your desktop
  4. copy and paste the text into your response.

  One of the lines in IP.txt will be something like the following:

  ... Default gateway. : 192.168.1.254

  This number is the IP address of your router.  Open a web browser (Firefox or Internet Explorer) and enter the IP address of your default gateway in the address box.

  At this point, it is possible that it will ask you a user name and password.  If you did not one, use admin as username and leave the password empty box.  If this does not work, there is a way around this, but it involves several phone calls from your ISP.

  Unfortunately, the only manual for the TG782 I could find is terribly incomplete. http://www.thomsonbroadbandpartner.com/GetFile.php?id=6978

  After login, you should see a page with a menu on the left (see p. 26 of the pdf above thomsonbroadbandpartner).  Click on the entry for "Home Network."  Unfortunately, the manual does not show the screen that appears when you enter this part of the configuration utility.  What you are looking for are the settings for the DHCP server on the router, which assigns IP addresses to computers connected to the router (no matter if they are connected by wire or wireless).

  Because the manual for your TG782T is not describe it, take a look at this, which is a part of the Linksys WRT54G Router configuration utility:http://cid-18b259158254905b.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/router%20setup.jpg

  Under the Network Configuration, the local IP address is set to 192.168.1.1.  On your router, the default value for this entry is 192.168.1.254.  Just under which are entered for "DHCP Server" "" starting IP address"and"Maximum number of DHCP users."  Here are the settings that you want to search.  The two critical parameters, as regards your current problem is are (1) the server DHCP must be "enabled" and "(2) the number of DHCP users Maximum" must be equal to or greater than the total number of computers that you want to connect (wired and wireless).

  Sorry I can't give you more specific instructions.  Usually, the user guide for the router will display all the available screens in the router configuration utility... but not this one.

• 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!

• 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 find other computers on the home network Windows.

  I have a home network windows already defined with two desktop with Windows XP and a laptop with Windows 2000. The computers are connected to a router with ethernet cables and the lap top wireless (WiFi) to the same router. Now, I'm trying to connect a fourth computer (a desk top) with Windows Vista. It works fine to connect to Internet, but I can't reach the other computers on the network. On other computers, I can see a 'new', but I don't see the others of a "new". Can someone help me with the configuration of the computer "Vista"?  Thanks in advance.  / Thomas

  Hello
   
  To home network computers running different versions of Windows, we need to make sure that what follows.
  a. ensure that all computers are in the same workgroup.
  (b) the value of the private network location type.
  c. open ports in your firewall to allow file and printer sharing.
  d. turn on additional file and printer sharing options.
  e. consider using password protected sharing.
  5 using the network card.
   
  The NIC in the network and sharing Center is a graphical view of the computers and devices on your network, showing how they are connected and including problem areas. A computer running Windows XP can be detected and appear on the network map, you may need to install the Protocol Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) on this computer.

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

  SE host: Windows 7 Edition home premium 64-bit

  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.
