  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 .

• Signature problems, the wireless router.

  I have a problem of signing on the internet through a Linksys WRT54G2V1 wireless router model. I use Windows Vista Service Pack 2. When I start my computer, it is not the sign on the internet, even if it is connected to the wireless router. Address ip/4 shows 169.254.42.23. After I unplug the router for 20 seconds and then plug it in again, my computer will sign it on the internet. 192.168.1.100 is the ip/4 address. In the meantime, my wife's computer has no problem signing on the internet via the wireless router. When I start my computer, it uses the address 169.254. He has only started to do this recently. What should I do to fix my sign on the problem?

• Internet sharing through wireless router.

  I am currently trying to get internet sharing work via my wireless router. I bought this wireless router from Tigerdirect. I have attached my cell phone to my laptop, but to do this, I have to use Windows XP Mode. The reason why I use Window XP Mode is that the mobile phone software does not support Windows 7. I can attach my cell phone and use the internet in XP Mode window without any problem.

  But now, I would like to share the internet through the wireless router. So that all the other laptops can connect to the router and use my cell internet phones.

  Any ideas? Thank you.

  Make sure that you connected the computer to the WAN port (Internet) on the router, not to one of the router's LAN ports.

  To check that ICS is installed on the first laptop:

  1. Press the Windows key + R , type ncpa.cpl in the box and press enter .
  2. Right click on the connection to the local network.
  3. Click status > Details .
  4. It should show these values: 192.168.137.1 = IPv4 address, IPv4 mask = 255.255.255.0 subnet.

  Test Internet access on the second laptop:

  1. Click Start > all programs > Accessories > guest
  2. Type these commands.  Each of them should get four answers:

  ping 192.168.137.1
  Ping 8.8.8.8
  ping google.com

  Please report anything that does not work as I have indicated.

• V40 HP on office xp and is shared via the wireless network. laptop with windows 7 will not be printed on v40.

  Cannot print from laptop (windows 7) via the wireless router desktop (windows xp) with attached usb HP v40 .for all-in-one.

  (7) - wireless laptop router - desktop (xp) - usb - HPv40

  Has worked for laptop is running xp.

  Laptop of the coils of print job at the office and apparently complete, but the bureau simply ignores the print job.

  No error message.

  printing from office very well.

  I reported this as resolved. I submitted this problem. The problem started when the update of my laptop computer from Windows XP to Windows 7. When I did, the Lexmark printer to my desktop worked find with the new system of the laptop. The HP V40 has failed. The Office has just received each print job submitted from the laptop (via a local wireless network) and scrapped it. I could see the print job come in the V40 print queue and could disappear.

  Here's what I did to solve the problem:

  I tried a dozen or so combinations of withdrawal and installing the printer on my Windows 7 laptop and my Office Windowx XP (with the V40 attached via USB) and manually removing and installation of printer drivers on my desktop PC, it works finally. What have I done? I have no idea, but I think that deleting manually pilots v40 on the office was part of the solution. While view printers available on my XP desktop computer, I clicked on file and one of the tabs has led me to a place where I could remove the drivers for each printer (I just removed them for the V40).

  Here's what I DIDN'T DO:

  I'm not following the advice of the HP support person I contacted by phone. This Board had to reinstall Windows XP on my desktop. That clearly was not the problem when I talked to him. But he would NOT listen to reason. Luckily I have enough knowledge to know PC than its low of false tips

  I am pleased with the resultant availability of the V40 again.

  I have no idea how to officially close this problem.

  I would be happy to discuss with someone else who has a similar problem, but when I submitted this problem with my name and email address, the moderator has deleted my presentation of the problem. Therefore, I think that all those who want to know more is out of luck.

  Wireless router / Internet problems

  I am running Windows Vista Home Edition with Security Essentials.  I can connect to my wireless router, but cannot get internet connectivity via Wireless.  If I connect the cable to the port on the router, I get internet connectivity.  Is there a firewall setting that could cause this problem?

  Hello

  Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
  Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
  obstacles in the path?

  Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

  After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
  manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

  Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like

  I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
  are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

• Desktop computer connected via a cable to a wireless router - can't print on Photosmart Wireless B109n-z

  Hello

  I have my desktop (Windows XP) connected via a cable to a LinkSys WRT54GC wireless router and wireless HP Photosmart B109n-z connected wireless. I can 'see' desktop printer if I write the IP address of the printer in the browser, but printing does not work.

  I don't know how to set up the printer to print from this desktop computer. What I choose when installing printer drivers (printing via USB or wireless?). I tried manually installing printer but without success. Do I have to set up specific ports?

  Printing from laptop (connected wireless to the router) works perfectly.

  Thank you in advance for your answer, I'm really lost on this one.

  Choose print wireless while installing the software.  Because the printer is connected to your router, you don't need to go through «setup USB wireless»

  I'll try to manually add again in this way:

  Verify that you can access the web page internal to the printer by its IP address.

  1. click on the 'Start' button--> printers and fax machines.
  2. under print jobs, click on "add a printer".
  3. click on 'Next' on the Add Printer Wizard window.
  4. Select "local printer attached to this computer. Deselect "automatically detect and install my Plug and play printer." Click "next".
  5 under, select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and choose "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next".
  6. in the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port Wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to the same network that your computer is connected to. click on the button "next".
  7. under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the IP address of the printer. Click 'Next' and then click 'Finish '.
  8. now select HP in the manufacturers list, select your printer in the list of the models of printers and click the button "next".
  9. If you can't find your printer, you will need to find the installation CD and use the 'Disc' option to select one of the files hp*.ini. You can also select another model of the same type HP printer.
  10. Add the name of print spooler, and then click "next".
  11. click on "next".
  12. click on "Next" and "Finish."

• With the help of WRT300N Wireless Router with a USB modem (satellite)?

  Hey there!  I tried to find this answer in various places online, and I saw a few things that have led me to believe that this is possible, but nothing to explain as thoroughly as I'd like.  I have a N of Linksys WRT300N wireless router.  For the next few months, new home construction we do service by cable or DSL, so we use the Cricket's broadband Internet, which connects via a USB port (Cricket is a 3G network, managed by a cell phone company).

  I'm trying to understand if there is anyway that I can connect internet Cricket USB to my computer, as usual, but then connect my router to the computer somehow so that I can distribute this wireless signal?  I'm having crazy to move the thing USB from one computer to another and would really like to connect my PS3 wireless signal, thus.

  Does anyone have an idea how this could be done?  If so, could you explain to me what I need to do quite exactly?  I am running Windows Vista on this computer.  Thank you very much in advance for your help.  You're going to be spare me months with a value of pulling my hair out, believe me.

  Yes you can do it, USB Modem not connecting to the computer, the computer must be connected to the Internet Port of the router and then it will give a Wi - Fi connection and...

  To do this, you need to enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)...
