Duplicate the network names

I have a desktop running xp home PC and a laptop running professional 7. They have been linked together quite happily until today. I turned on the xp machine and I got an error message telling me that I have duplicate names on the network, I know it's not like a door the name 'office' and the other 'laptop' task force for both is "soho".

Portable 'Office' no longer appears in windows Explorer on the computer.

On the xp machine or 'office' or 'laptop' appears in my network places, and they used to!

On the xp machine if I do a search in the '' computers or people, '' they appear!

Turn off the two machines.
Restart your router.
Turn on both machines.
 
Best?

    Alberto smell, MD

    As dalime said, you must set the name of the router and then the guest account is generated on that basis.  But it's a bit stupid.  If you have configured your router from the web panel name or after you set up your guest account, it will generate a generic name of Cisco.

    Solution:

    (1) disable comments

    (2) change the name of the router (as dalime has shown)

    (3) (cancel) the stupid usb key exchange request

    (4) change the name of the router to what it should be

    (5) (cancel) the stupid usb key exchange request

    (6) turn on comments and now he will recognize the name of the OK to add router "-guest" at the end of

  • Impossible to change the network name to an existing network

    During a recent upgrade of windows 7 to 10 the procedure at about 80% and froze with the error 8007002C - 4000D. Windows 10 not able to complete its update, the system proceeded to reinstall windows 7. Once this is finished, I found that he had lost access to internet, ipconfig address had been changed and a new unidentified network had been set up, which I'm unable to edit or delete. After spending 2 days trying to get this PC to normal with 7. I tried the 10 upgrade again, but with the same result. I can't figure out how to get my PC to Windows 7 because I don't know how I've changed the name of the network in the first problem.

    To explain my network configuration of the PC with the problem Desktop which is Ethernet is connected to a router with 3 laptops wireless and a wireless printer. Laptop computer and printer seem to work fine, and the Office can see these devices but cannot connect to the internet or a network.

    I fixed the IP address of the desktop computer and tried everything I can think but cannot add this PC to your existing network.

    Why Windows 10 cause this problem that I'm not sure, but my main concern right now is to get this PC to its previous state.

    You would be extremely grateful if anyone could offer some advice.

    Thank you

  • Impossible to change the network name/icon

    My PC has three available networks. One is the network of the company, the other is a network of Connectify and the third is my guest network only Virtualbox.

    The corporate network and Connectify can I change the names of by clicking on their icons in the network and sharing Center. No problem. But for the network Virtualbox Host-only, I can click on the icon, but I can't type a different name, do not choose a different icon. The text box for the name is read-only, and there is no button 'choose icon '.

    Why?

    Virtualbox Host-only networking is currently showing as 'Unidentified network - Public network' with a bench icon. I don't want that, because it is incorrect. It's actually a * very * private network, nothing public about it, so I wanted to change his name at least.

    Why inappropriate?

    How can I qualify?

  • Help with script to change the network name.

    Hello

    I made a small script to help me rename the label of network on a portgroup and then correct the label of network on all the virtual machines with this label.

    I came across the problem that it could not update on the virtual machines network label because the portgroup did not exist (this must be because it does not wait for the first order at the end?). I fixed that by doing a line with: "Start-Sleep-seconds 10.

    The script works, but I don't like the solution with 10 sec sleep because it could go wrong if the portgroup takes more than 10 seconds to create (unlikly).

    I tried different things, for example "Wait-task" but without success.

    any ideas?

    $esxi = Read-host "enter the IP address of the host."

    $portgroup_old = Read-host "Enter the name of the portgroup you wish to rename.

    $portgroup_new = Read-host "enter the new name of the portgroup.

    Get-VMHost-name $esxi | Get-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_old | Game-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_new

    Start-Sleep - seconds 10

    Get-VMHost-name $esxi | Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName - eq $portgroup_old} | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName $portgroup_new - confirm: $false

    Unfortunately, with groups of standard port vSwitch, that's what you're stuck with.

    You could try a loop 'while' like this instead:

    Get-VMHost-name $esxi | Get-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_old | Game-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_new

    While (Get-VMHost-name $esxi |) Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName - eq $portgroup_old})

    {Get-VMHost-name $esxi |} Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName - eq $portgroup_old} | {Set-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName $portgroup_new - confirm: $false}

    I hope that people who have this problem in the future, you read this before you follow Ricky RockStars because he has mental health problems. After having seen his reply here and then others and it is how wildly incorrect, I did some research. I saw one of his messages on a forum from another site where he calls himself, "master of puppets" and he said he finds his answers on google. Dell isn't the only place to take responses at random to see if a stick, said. Apparently, he did that on ' yah * answers "and others, also. It is not a true expert, and instead of saying that he doesn't know, he barks just the random directions to try to solve problems or problems which can still be fixed, as it did here. He loves the power of the people who listen to him. He really has no idea what she's doing. He just googles your problem and tells you what it finds, as if he knew. The problem with is that if you have already done this, he will find the same wrong information makes you or even worse information as he did here. I saw a lot of his answers and about half are correct, 1/3 are wrong and just wasting peoples time, and the other 1/6 are harmful. Look at what happened here. He should have just said what I say below, but instead of that he had a back and forth for days because he loves control.  Seriously, I don't understand how Dell allows this to happen. It is everywhere in their forums, which gives bad advice, and using people as the 'puppets' in his weird game to control the actions of others.

    Here's the real answer:

    Dell Vostro 3550 does not support WiFi 5 Ghz network connections. There is nothing you can do to address this problem in addition to changing the hardware (go out and buy a 5 GHz USB adapter).

  • Remove or replace the name of the network (Vista, wired to the router)

    I have 4 computers on my network home (a new laptop and Windows 7 desktop computer and an older laptop and desktop Vista, which are replaced - laptops are wireless).  I had a LOT of problem with printer sharing, especially after a reboot printer goes offline, and I can't find any way to get them back another remove printers and reinstalling (disappointment, disappointment, disappointment) online.  And then I started having problems with one of the Vista (cables to the router) computers access the computer Windows 7 new, also wired to the router.

    Then I will begin first with the last problem.  Trying to get the old wired Office Access/recognize the new desktop windows 7 Wired, I ended up resetting my fairly new Linksys router e2500 to its factory setting - and in the process gained a new network name.  I finally understood how to get the laptops wireless to recognize the new network (should be easy, but it wasn't), but the old wired Vista insists on the use of the former name of network, one that appears in the network and sharing Center implementation.  The other funny thing is that even though she seems to be using the former name of network, I put on Jack autour with her so I don't have Internet access on my old Vista computer.

    I guess that because it is trendy, it seems not to worry about the network name, but it's bothering me because it's not fair.  However, I can't find any way to delete the old name of network.  I spent the day on that and am still confused.  Baffled because it is working and baffled because I can change the name.  I also get a lot of mistakes "Windows cannot access \\myWindows7computername" when I double click on the name displayed in the network folder of Windows Explorer (probably more serious problem).  In any case, I want to address what should be first the problem of easire.

    I discovered enabled network, public folder sharing, which transforms file on the computer discovery and Vista network, sharing the printer and sharing active files (but only on the printer and all the other things of file not checked), and sharing files public computer to Windows 7 (the one with the printers connected to it) - and passwords disabled on both (all computers).

    So my first question is how to make the network name on the Vista desktop wired old deleted/changed/replaced for the new name of the current network.  Why it does not insist in using the former name of network that no longer exists.

    Ron in round rock

    Sorry about that, but I got my answer from another forum, a Linksys Forum - and I will talk about a few things in case other people have this problem/question.

    To remove the network name that appears on the Network Center and sharing, click on the link to customize to the right of the network type - and on the next screen, click on merge or delete network locations, you will / should be able to remove (don't know what fusion done or means) the network with the wrong name, EXCEPT that you can't remove it If it is being used (which is / was the problem I had).  When I unplugged the cable between the computer and the router, I was able to remove the network location (the one with the old name of network), I tried to get rid of.

    Now for the confession.  All this has nothing to do with the name of the network - and most of the things in my original post is just smoke also.  I was going down the wrong path.  It turns out that with computers connected to a router, there is only one network involved and you can call it anything you like and it will work.  There is no selection of a network involved as in the case of a wireless network.

    Network with wired computers name is determined lby network name "you enter" on the screen to customize network settings, the screen you get when you click Customize on the screen of the Network Center and sharing - and you can type in anything you want here.  I'd so go through all this.  I simply had to re - enter the network name on the screen to customize network settings, that is simply a name that you can use for your own reference.

  • Unable to connect to the network after having extended to a second Airport via ethernet router

    Hello

    I have a 5th gen airport extreme that did a wonderful job providing the wifi to the majority of our House. Unfortunately, in our room on the floor, we have a (good) connection causing a constant depreciation with netflix that my wife was not fond of.

    Today, I ran a line of 100 feet of ethernet in my attic and connected my previous dual band gen 3 airport extreme. I have reset the router and configured from scratch. When it has completed the Installation Wizard to "expand my current network." as soon as the router is online, our network goes off. I can unplug the second router and starts all over again. but when it is connected. my devices ask for network password and fail to connect.

    how our network is set up:

    Modem - Airport Extreme (5thgen) - ethernet 8port switch - Airport Extreme (3rdgen)

    All are wired using the cat6 cable.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Please perform a hard reset on the 3rd Gen AirPort Extreme as follows:

    Turn on the airport for a few minutes

    Pressed the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 5 to 6 seconds

    Release the reset button and allow a minute for the airport restart to a slow, flashing amber light status

    Temporarily, move the 3rd Gen airport close to the airport of Gen 5 th and connect short, spare Ethernet cable... no matter what length will make... among the <-->LAN ports on the 5 th Gen to the "O" WAN port on the 3rd Gen airport

    Turn on the 3rd Gen airport for a minute or two

    Rerun the installer... who will suggest that the 3rd generation will extend the signal of the 5th generation, enter a name for the 3rd generation device and click Next. Your screen will be similar to the example below, but will show your devices and the network name.

    Monitor the following very closely to ensure that the 3rd generation is currently set to spread with Ethernet.  This indicates that the installation wizard recovers the Ethernet connection, so the 3rd generation will be configured correctly.

    Wait another minute until the 3rd generation is configured and working properly... and check that it causes NO problems on the network as if it was before, when it was not properly configured.

    Now move back the 3rd generation to the remote location and connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the 3rd generation.  If your cables Ethernet works correctly, the 3rd generation will work properly.

    If the 3rd generation does not work properly, then you will need troubleshoot the Ethernet connection and, eventually, the Ethernet switch... Since you know that the 3rd generation has been put in place properly and it works well with the other short Ethernet cable.
