• Domain and workgroup

  Hello

  I have 2 NETWORK card on my pc. INA joined area that I can see other clients in my network places. and another static IP on a workgrup.

  My problem is that I can't see the customers on the workgrup. What should I do?

  Please help... Thank you

  Oh - sorry for my bad English :-))

  You cannot be attached both a domain and a workgroup at the same time. It won't work. If you are connected to a domain, you will not be able to see the resources on a network of working group and vice versa.

• Should I go to a domain environment?

  It is a standard of microsoft to have a domain environment, if I use clustered controllers on my place of work. I currently use the tcp/ip Protocol in my business system implemented.

  Hello MarcCando,

  Your question would be better for ITPros in the Microsoft TechNet Forum.
  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/winserverManagement/threads

  It would be for you to decide if you need a domain environment, compared to a workgroup environment. The idea behind domains is a centralized management to manage computers, users and groups.

• What should I do to change my domain user account

  I have xp, normally I had regular user accounts, logging was no big deal.somehow my boyfriend arrived and decided to change God knows what, but it has something to do with the 'networking' of a 'domain' and 'workgroup'.so now all that appears when you turn on the computer is a box asking password, there are accounts of users and no longer fast switching.sometimes now evil try to do something and a box that goes up says that he cant acess or perfom measures due to the restrictions on the computer.i went to "services" in the computer management but that just confused me more.

• Vista HomePremium.SP2. Chnge workgroup option not available but may change the name of the computer. Can not enable file sharing. How Iactivate these options? Thanks in advance, Geoff

  Vista Home Premium.SP2. Working Group change option is not available on the system page, but I can only change the name of the computer. Can not turn on either file sharing. How to activate these options? Thanks in advance, Geoff

  Geoff

  1. If it is the domain controller, you cannot change the name of the computer by selecting network ID and this is normal.
  2. If it is a member of the computer in domain or workgroup, you don't have permission to change the name of the computer.

• Windows 7 cannot resolve the ip addresses of domain names

  I have a desktop computer that I built components purchased in a major computer store.  I got this system works well for several months, now.  Recently, however, I met a problem with one of the modules of memory of 2 GB.  I deleted (because it turned out to be defective) and, shortly AFTER his withdrawal, have another problem with the resolution of Internet domain name.  I have to say that I also installed my old Windows XP as an alternative OS and updated to sp3 (it is, in fact, that I use to access the internet and write this query).  As you can see, XP I have no problem with internet access or name resolution.  There are two other systems connected to the home network via wi - fi (one equipped with Windows Vista and the other a tablet PC running Windows XP Tablet Edition) and none of them have no access to the internet problem.  I ran ipconfig/release and / renew without any result.

  I did all the following: netsh winsock reset catalog
  netsh int ip reset reset.log
  netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log.
  Still no access.
  I opened regedit and went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters and set the following registry value:
  Value name: IPEnableRouter
  Value type: REG_DWORD
  Value data: 1 (this is the only value I changed - from 0 to 1)
  I then exit regedit and reboot... still no access.  BTW: I noticed now that this entry (IPEnableRouter), nor any of its values, is no longer even exist in my registry.  I think it has something to do with my changing parameters of Cisco Linksys E1000 router to allow me access to my home network.  In addition, even if she says that I'm connected to my home network and the router, I don't see two other computers in the network, only the items that I share my desktop.
  I changed the "Preferred DNS server" to 208.67.222.222 as instructed in a possible solution I found on the web (in XP, of course) and, when it does not, changed to 208.67.220.220 instructions, but no.  Still nothing.
  I can access any Web site... IF I KNOW THE IP ADDRESS!  Unfortunately, my mind is not enough powerful or with enough RAM to remind all the IP addresses that I never go, not to mention every single IP address in the internet.
  If I had remembered to I have copied to Notepad (so I could then copy here) the results of an ipconfig/all command, but I didn't.  If this will help, let me know and I'll get it and post it.  I know that some errors I have received are 'Windows could not automatically detect the network proxy settings"and"registration of the DNS records failed.  The parameter is incorrect"and" an error occurred during the liberation interface Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1: the system cannot find the specified file. "
  Some of the results of an ipconfig/command all, I write down, such as those that came out as strange or maybe wrong.  They are as follows:
  Active IP routing: NO
  WINS proxy enabled: NO
  Host name: (empty)
  Suffix primary DNS: (empty)
  Node type: hybrid
  DNS suffix search list: News:[email protected] (Yes, I use Road Runner by Time Warner, and no, they were not able to help at all)
  Other results:
  ISATAP.KC.RR.com tunnel adapter
  State of the media: Media disconnected
  Card tunnel Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface
  State of the media: Media disconnected
  Please keep in mind that all computers connected to this wireless router have no problem with access to the internet and this computer can access in Windows XP but not Windows 7.  In other words, is there anything wrong with the router and nothing wrong with the wireless network adapter.  Besides, I tried to reboot the router and even resetting (much to the chagrin of my other significant because she was not happy with not being able to access the internet until I was finally able to re - install the router)
  !).  I have also turned off my system, removed the card wireless adapter, waited for about 15 minutes, re-inserted in the PCI slot and return to market the system.  This, of course, did nothing, either.
  After the search for several days and trying various tactics and bugs as suggested all over the web, I'm at the end of my limited knowledge and patience with this problem.  Any help that will solve this problem and allow my Windows 7 to access, once again, the internet would be greatly appreciated.  As a last resort, I might have to re - install Windows 7, but I also read the posts where others have done so, but nothing helped. :(
  Thank you
  Lakusus
  The system configuration:
  Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium 32-bit of Windows XP Home Edition operating systems and in a dual-boot configuration

  Two hard drives 1 TB SATA and a 250 GB HARD drive partitioned into a total of 10 discs
  Burner DVD HL-DT-ST DVDRAM

  In fact, I have since fixed my problem.  Believe it or not, it wasn't any major and detailed process.  It was a very simple thing that NONE of the resolutions on that I read even suggested might be the cause, so I don't even think to check it out.  Apparently, at any given time a week ago, or NAME of the COMPUTER, something erased my!  I forgot how I found this, but I think that I went to my device manager by double-clicking on the icon "Computer" and select 'Properties' and happened to notice that, under 'Settings of computer name, domain, and workgroup', the ' computer name: "and" full computer name: "fields were empty!

  SO, I clicked on 'Advanced system settings' on the left of the window properties, select the "computer name" tab (1st one at the top left of the window that has popped up) and down to "to rename this computer, click on change." I clicked on the button 'change... '. ».
  In the next window which displayed I got the name I initially chose for my desktop, clicked the button "More"... ' and 'News:[email protected]' in the ' suffix main DNS on this computer: "on the ground (as is my Internet service provider - others may be different) and ensured that the box"Change the suffix main DNS when the domain membership changes"has been checked.
  Then, I clicked OK on this window.  I then made sure that the "Working Group:" radio button was selected and typed "WORKGROUP" in the field below, then click 'OK '.
  Return to the window' system properties 'original, I clicked 'Apply' and 'OK' and then restarted my system.
  Windows 7 being loading, all of a sudden all these programs that were inactive for the past few days began to appear and load and update!  YAY! Laughing out loud
  So, the reason I went into detail about how I solved it is in case anyone else has this same problem, they can check and, if the computer name has also been deleted, follow these steps to correct the problem. Of course, you will need to contact your service provider (if other than the Road Runner by Time Warner) in order to obtain the primary DNS suffix.  I hope this will help others I do not go through the terror I lived not having access to the internet.  Aaaaarrrrggghh!  I MUST have my internet!

• Satellite A30 does not see other devices in the wireless network

  I recently bought a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card, I installed and was able to recognize my broadband, but he does not see the other network devices. I have not provided with drivers or software for the operation of the card (I bought a decent retailer). Can you recommend me to downloads that would be this card?

  I have a laptop of Satelite A30 1 GB ram 60 GB HDD.

  Large files sometimes also stop transfer (crashes) when you use my USB connection. The usb controller uses the driver microsoft 5.1.2600.0 dated June 1, 2002.

  Is this a driver problem?

  Hello

  If the wireless network adapter is properly installed if you have not configured you.
  I put t know which devices in broadband services, you want to say but generally if you want to communicate or transfer files between laptops through the WiFi network so all the computers must be in the same domain or workgroup.

  I can't give you a correct answer, but only a suggestion. I have red that sometimes a lower potency could be responsible for this show. Try turning off the safe power option in the properties of the hub USB root in Device Manager.

• I want to limit the file sharing on a home network, Windows XP Pro (working group) to a specific user on a different computer.

  I can't get this username entered with success because I'm limited to only users on the computer, I'm trying.  I have Windows XP off file sharing simple.  Both computers running XP Pro and I can share the folder, but it is open to ALL.  Is there a way to do this?

  I would like to try to explain how it works.  You have XP Pro on Computer1 and you have disabled Simple file sharing.  It is a step in the right direction.  The facts are that the file exists on the computer 1 and is 1 computer to control what external connection gets access to this file.  Computer 1 can only validate combinations of username/password names he knows.  Is not in a domain, computer environment 1 includes only names of user and password that exists on the computer 1.  He cannot know or trust any combination of name of user and password that does not exist within itself.  The normal method, most people use is to create the same user on computer 1 that exists on the computer that connects and gives the same password that is used on the computer that connects to this user.  If this is the case, the external user connects seamlessly and have access if 1 computer gave this authorization to the user in this file.  Access can be controlled by right-clicking on the file or folder, select 'Properties' and then use the 'Security' tab to generate an access matrix.

  Authentication: When connecting to the computer 1 from another computer, computer 1 search first if the username on the computer connection exists on the computer 1.  If the user name of the user on the computer connection exists on computer 1 and passwords on both computers to match, the connection is established.  If the passwords do not match, the connection is refused.  If the user name of the logged in user does not match a user on computer 1, then the 'Guest' user is attempted.  If the guest user is not protected by a, then the user will resemble the user 'Guest' and 'Guest' appropriate access.  If the guest user is disabled on Computer1, and then the computer connection displays a name of User/Login screen asking the user to provide credentials (name and password) 1 computer can use and recognize to check that the user.  If a name of user and password recognizes that computer 1 is entered, then computer 1 authenticates the user with this credential.

  Of course, once authenticated, the user will have access to these files to which permissions have been granted to this user authenticated according to the KB307874.  XP cannot grant permissions to users, he knows not (obviously) beyond the 'Guest '.

  Bottom line is that you have discovered in a domain environment (workgroup), you MUST authenticate as a legitimate user who is (and who is not disabled) on Computer1.

• I want to copy a file of 10 MB to 200 computers in an hour.

  I want to copy a file of 10 MB to 200 computers in 1 hour (i.e. 60 comps. on the 1st floor, 70 on the 2nd floor & rest on the 3rd floor). All are connected via LAN.

  How to solve this problem?

  And who gave.  Management boils down to you write a script that is executed with the necessary permissions to connect to and copy a file to all the machines you need.

  The type of script, or how to get the names of all computers or copy the files is determined by your specific environment and skill set.

  Once I saw this response from you, "computers are Domain(named Workgroup i guess)." my first inclination was to tell you to contact your system administrator, they will know what to do.

  Hello

  1. is your computer connected to a domain or workgroup?

  2. you can use commands like "shutdown - r-t 01" to reboot your machine.

• WIFI connection blocked by the administrator (unexiosting)

  When I try to connect to a WiFi spot system blocked any WiFi connection with the following message. "Your network administrator has blocked you connect to this network '.
  But it's a PC that is private, with any network administrator.
  How can I turn off this blocking option.

  nfr2410, it's possible, especially if you have set up your computer to be part of a domain, when you did.
  To check if you are on a domain: click Start -> click right computer -> select Properties. In the System window, list information under the parameters name, domain and workgroup of the computer. Here you will see a side area if you are currently set up for one.
  
  Another thing to try is removing filters authorization via the command prompt, here are the steps:

  1. click on Start -> all programs-> Accessories.

  2 right click on invite and then click run as administrator . If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue

  3. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  netsh wlan delete filter permission = denyall networktype = infrastructure
  netsh wlan delete filter permission = denyall networktype = adhoc
