• Printing to a printer from a domain from a workgroup printer

  I have a computer that is located on a working group. We want to be able to print to a printer on the field. I installed the printer as a network printer and entered the username admin and the password and it worked. However, as soon as I restart the machine connection switched to access denied. I guess that's not remembering the creditials. Anyone know any way around it.

• Will it hurt my settings if I change my Windows Vista PC from a computer in working group on a home PC?

  I have a Windows Vista Home Premium, I had some problems and had to do a system restore. I put a different name for my computer, I am the administrator. I did have the time to add a user account. Anyway, I wasn't paying that much attention to the WORKING GROUP or the HOUSE of CP. I feel that I can have messed up things, once again! I'm afraid that if I change the name or change the name of my computer and change it to page HOME of CP instead of WORKING GROUP, I have will not have access to Microsoft Internet Explorer? I don't see anything regarding a field in this area. Could someone help me with this, I want to change my WORKING GROUP home of CP.

  Hello

  You can change the name of your computer as the computers on a network can be part of a workgroup or a domain. The main difference between the areas and working groups is the management mode of the network resources. Computers on home networks are usually part of a workgroup, and computers on networks to work are usually part of a domain.

  Change the name of your computer

• Remove computer/network on Vista

  I can't remove the computers and devices on the network in Vista folder as I could in previous versions of Windows.  I can't seem to find a way to disconnect, remove or delete, I can't find 'help' related topics, except for the 'Add' a computer or device, that I already know how to do.

  Hi TeeJay45,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  Is your computer connected to a domain or a workgroup?

  If you don't want your computer on a network, you can unplug it without having to disconnect all cables. Alternatively, you can disconnect your computer from shared network drives that you no longer use.

  1. Open network connections by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking network and Internet, click network and sharing Center, and then clicking manage network connections.
  2. Right-click on the network that you want to disconnect, and then do one of the following:
     • To a network wireless, access to remote, virtual private network (VPN), or incoming connection, click Disconnect.
     • For a local area network (LAN) connection, click disable.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  If you disable a connection to the local network, the network card is disabled until you reconnect.

  -Check in the center of network as the network discovery and file sharing is enabled.  Also ensure that the remote registry (run services.msc) service is enabled and started (by default, this service is not started on Vista OS).

  -Make sure that the file and sharing printers for Microsoft networks is enabled on the remote host.
