Difficulties with the working groups

I have connected 2 (Xp & W7) computers using a crossover cable. They are both in the same working group & have fixed ip addresses. These are explicitly permitted in McAfee firewall. However the W7 machine can! see"& read the Windows Media Player library on the Xp machine & it can 'See' but not access other files. The Xp machine is not at the W7 machine.

Any ideas anyone?

PS two machines to communicate with each other without any problem!

Hello

Maybe this can help.

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 '.

All aspects should be checked, declaring that she "worked before" or incessant on"I didn't something ", is not a way to deal withcurrent sharing problems.

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

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

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

Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that 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.

For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should 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 continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled).
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.

Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

When you have finished the configuration of the system, it is recommended to restart everything the router and all computers involved.

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

If you have permission and security issues with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.

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.

http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/permission-security.jpg

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.

* Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall 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. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

    Hi - I'm going to mark it as resolved: I realized that I was looking for something I didn't need. While I have 3 machines with capacities of networking of industrial quality, all I need is a P2P system. I had already activated beside the TCP/IP NetBEUI, simply because it worked wonderfully on my D-Link G604T GenII and NetBEUI is what you really need on a P2P. TCP/IP must remain, then we can access the internet and the router. We can easily map network drives - which has never been a problem - and I was systematically put out of service on each computer network browser Service to eliminate the 8003 errors that continue to occur. You don't need the network browser in a P2P... In any case, the new (financial) year approaches, have a happy! Gordon. Why doesn't the RichText? I activated in my settings!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Mike

    Hi Mike,.

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

    ·         You get the error message?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Follow these steps:

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

    Step 2: If the problem does not still in safe mode, 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 the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state of the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

    (a) click Start, run.

    (b) type msconfigand click OK.

    (c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    (d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.

    (e) when you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

    Method 2: 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 3: Follow the steps in the article.

    Measures to control the error:

    The BOX can access files of the shared BOX B.
    BOX B cannot access the shared files A BOX.
    BOX B can access its own files shared over the network.

  • Windows 7 not seeing computer XP on the WORKING group

    OK so I have 3 computers at home using three different versions of Windows:

    Desktop computer - XP

    • This computer is connected to the internet via a cable modem. The cable modem has a router NETGEAR Wireless in tandem.
    • This computer can see portable #1 and portable #2 in the WORKING group.

    #1 - Vista laptop

    • This computer uses its wireless card to connect to the network.
    • This computer can see Desktop and Laptop #2 in the WORKING group.

    #2 - Windows 7 laptop

    • This computer uses its wireless card to connect to the network.
    • This computer can see portable #2, but can NOT see of desktop (running XP).

    All computers are in the WORKING group. I have the Windows Firewall on all three. For the life of me I can't understand why Windows 7 does not see the XP computer. Windows 7 has been updated with the network discovery and public folder sharing (explaining why the other two computers can see it).

    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

  • Member of the Working Group, but ask for password field.

    I have a router dlink/access point. I run my laptop on the wireless. I have an Iomega hard drive attached by wire to the router. I'm trying to get my laptop. I see the hard drive on my network, but when I try to access to I get a window to enter my username and password. At the bottom it says "domain: laptop.» The network on my laptop settings specify the working group. Any suggestions? He also says "Windows security at the top of the window. I was wondering if there is somewhere in the Windows security I could turn it off?

    None of this worked after some trial and error, I found I had to set up a user account on the Iomega storage device and signature using that. Thanks for trying it. I can't be expected to know on an Iomega device. Now I have to find a way to use it as a print one server where my default admin. account is gone.
