Creation of a network and the addition of a Windows XP and Windows 7 computer

Here's what I would do:

  • Create a network
  • Add my Windows 7 laptop to wireless network
  • Add my Windows XP desktop using an Ethernet cable\

I would like to be able to share music, photos, videos, printers, devices, documents, etc., like how it is done in most of new schools and workplaces.

I already have atempted this and I'm having the most trouble add the Windows XP computer. Please enumerate the steps from the beginning.

Thank you in advance!

Hello

If there is no consideration of security, you can activate the account invited on all computers and configure the authorization for it.

Problems of permission and security with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.

All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account on all computers that they are allowed to connect to.

Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users.

Using the functionality of all saved the need to configure authorization for each of theestablished users, it does mean not all those who feel that they would like to connect.

Users who do not have an account on the computer are not part of the Everyone group.

If the LAN security is useless and users are not established, then move on the guest account provides the semi-open configuration.

Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

In the properties

Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

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

* Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

  • All network devices can see each other + Windows 7 computer, but machine Windows 7 can not see them

    Hello. Under the network of my machine Windows 8 folder, I can see all the devices on the network. This includes a printer, my computer Windows 7 (what I can access), an Apple TV (from special software), a wireless hard drive, the router and a digital recorder.

    The Windows 7 machine, I can only see the router and the printer. On special software, the Apple TV does not either. When you perform the Windows 8 computer host as a server for the special software, the Windows 7 machine could not see it on the special software. This means that there is something wrong on the Windows 7 this machine is not allowing him to detect other devices.

    In a game of LAN, Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers can't see each other.

    All devices are on the internet and I am posting this from the Windows 7 machine right now.

    Windows 7 and Windows 8 machine are on the same network.

    No device is on a host group and the group home service is disabled.

    Peer networking is enabled.

    Network discovery is turned on.

    Both connections are set to private/Home.

    Originally, the Windows 7 machine has been on his own home group and could be seen by anything. After a few hours, I finally got out of the home group, how other devices could see him then. However, he cannot always see other devices.

    How can I get the Windows 7 machine to see other devices? I am at a loss. Is there a service that I have disabled right now that needs to be enabled? I don't know what to do.

  • How can I use the additional features of windows 8.1 license key

    I bought acer E5 - 573 G-34QR (Aspire e 15) provided with windows preinstalled 8.1, I activated windows 8.1 but when I try to use additional features of windows 8.1 it ask for the product key.

    It depends on what kind of functionality you are looking for.

    Moreover, the license key is on your BIOS, so you don't need to activate windows.

    here some difference on windows 8 versions, it's the same for 8.1:

    All mentioned editions have the ability to use the language packs, which allows multiple user interface languages.

However, in China and other emerging markets, a variation of Windows 8 without this feature, called Windows 8 unique language, is sold. This edition can be upgraded to Windows 8 Pro. [14]

    The following looks like a long history (it's only 600 words). I know not what is knowledge of the user, and exactly what has been done already. The info go through the motions of the configuration and verify most of the common aspects of the LAN Windows OS features '.

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

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

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

    Network of home or work = fundamentally similar (and better) to the previous Working Group sharing methods which 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.

    To get best results connect to each computer system screen and set all the computers to be on a bearing the same name of Working Group , while each computer has its own unique name.

    Make sure that the software firewall, AV, or other security components allow free local traffic on all network computers. If you use the 3rd group of security, firewall native Vista/XP must 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.html#trusted
    Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall/AV/security costumes continue to block aspects of the Local traffic even it they are off (off).
    If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

    If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

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

    Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).

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

  • Firefox will always be a way course surf the web using a Windows XP computer after that leaves Microsoft support Windows XP?

    Windows XP is still my favorite operating system, but Microsoft will give up support in the coming days. If I understand correctly, shortly after which using Windows Internet Explorer to surf the web on a computer running Windows XP (or can) make the computer vulnerable to piracy. It will be the same for the use of Mozilla Firefox on a computer that is running Windows XP?
    I think I saw an ad for Google Chrome with that they would continue to support the browser for use on a Windows XP computer. I think that Google said they would keep releasing patches to secure the Chrome. Can anyone confirm that and more importantly, is Mozilla Firefox secure? Also, should I uninstall Internet Explorer on my Windows XP computer when leaving Microsoft support?

    Note - I am posting this with a newer computer that works under Windows 7 64-bit.

    Firefox will continue to work with Windows XP. At best, in the near future, I could see the required configuration to encountered to Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (obligation is SP2 for now). Security in Firefox patches are the same, regardless of the version of Windows you are using.

    Keep in mind that without security updates, the operating system itself will be precarious. What browser and software security that you use will not change.

    Internet Explorer is a component of the system, and you should not attempt to remove it in Windows Vista and lower. From Windows 7, there's a way of kind of uninstall from the control panel.

  • With problems of backup of the files on my Windows Vista computer

    original title: backup of files

    Should I back up my files because my laptop needs to be repaired and my manufacturer says they will delete all my files when they fix it. Can I do it myself with a plug-in or should I have a professional to do? I don't know I can even do that because even if the power led lights up the screen remains white and it beeps constantly.

    Hello

    If the screen remains blank and you have the error beep codes that normally indicate a hardware problem, I suggest you take it to a professional to get your data before handing over to manufacturers of laptop for repair.

    There is information below in this answer as to how you can recover your data if you are comfortable with the process of making

    but it involves opening the laptop

    For your information:

    to ensure that the beep codes mean you need to know what is the bios of your laptop and then read it as the links below average error codes

    http://www.pchell.com/hardware/beepcodes.shtml

    http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

    Read this on the record of your data:

    as you can not start your machine due to a suspected hardware problem you can use a linux-based cd to recover data when there is a problem with your hardware that a linux cd must still use to operate because it uses your laptop hardware to operate: card mother etc.

    To save the data:

    1 remove the hard drive from the laptop and it slave in another computer

    2 buy or borrow a USB disk drive hard case laptop insert in it, then connect the speaker to another computer

    Use anyway to try to read the data on this portable hard drive from another computer

  • Network disconnects the Tecra M7 using Windows 7 RTM

    I tested Windows 7 since the first versions beta and finally got my driver's license for RTM, but one thing still does not work on the Tecra M7:

    Network connectivity is lost repeatedly during the use of the ethernet adapter integrated Intel Pro/1000 PL.
    Installing latest drivers (06/05/2009,9.13.12.0), everything is put in place, but the DNS appear to be lost.

    Repeatable after putting the computer to sleep and prolonged sleep and wake up - irreproducibly randomly while connected.
    ipconfig/release, ipconfig / renew does the trick then - pull the plug and put it back is NOT.

    Somtimes, ipconfig doesn't solve the problem for a few minutes - in this case, only a reboot help

    I have two machines, same model, both show the same problem - tested various networks (managed, public/private, 10Base-T/100Base-TX).

    Anyone have any idea?

    Hello

    After wake up sleep or hibernation mode, you mean the network disconnects automatically?

    I think that it is a software problem
    I remember that Vista and first BONE had the similar problem
    Usually, the update driver and Windows update helped but since Win7 is not official on the market, you will have to wait for official updates and patches

    PS: have you noticed the same thing using the OS preinstalled Toshiba?
    Your BIOS is up to date?

    Heya!

    I'm having difficult (i.e. hitting my head against the wall) time to find a way to achieve the following:

    I have a JTable with search results. Search results represent a sort of... maps registry. When you double-click on a single line in the table, you get a new image with filled JTextfields. What I have to do is to be able to print this "UI map" framework for each resultline without showing them as a single frame. Search result can be up to like 100 or something, if its not like one or two.

    So to sum this up:
    -Print several JFrames with content without showing them. Prefferably by adding them to a single print job, comes with several pages (where an image is printed page).

  • My DLNA compatible TV takes a long time to detect the DLNA server on Windows 7 computer laptop via wifi

    I have a Panasonic plasma tv and a laptop running Windows 7 x 64.  I had no problem with the TV detect my laptop and watch movies via the DLNA server in wifi, aside from the videos stopping frequently, loss of the connection and reconnect.  Thinking it was a problem with my router, I contacted the manufacturer of the router and received a replacement of the same router.

    Apart from switching on the router, nothing has changed.  However, when I try to go to the DLNA function on the TV, it will appear the message "DLNA server is not found. Finally, anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes later, my computer appears on its own in the list and I can continue to watch the videos as usual.  The connection seems to be more stable than before because he rarely abandons the connection after the replacement of the router, but waiting for my computer appears mystified me.
    Y at - it is a particular setting in my notebook or the router that should be adjusted to solve this problem? As I said before, I reflected quite well the former router settings so I'm really helpless why it takes so long.
