File sharing between two computers at home

• File sharing between two computers with DIFFERENT Versions of Windows (XP & Vista)

  I just bought a WRT54G4 Wireless-G router broadbad & am a n00bie to this any thng in network.  I like the current state of things now, all considering that both my desktop PC (Windows XP Home Edition) & my laptop wireless PC (Windows Vista Home Premium) are online (local & Internet) BUT I can't seem to get things while my desktop PC sharing files which can then be read and otherwise accessible by the laptop.

  Here's what I'm trying to...

  * Have BOTH computers access the Internet via a private network (which I already managed to do)

  * Having the Office to share files that are accessible (wireless or not) from my laptop

  Essentially, I want to be able to use the TWO HDs according to needs.

  My office is an old computer AMD Duron 1 Ghz. with 512 MB RAM & can handle a FEW small spots, but the big gun is my laptop (A 1.86 Ghz. Intel Pentium with 3 GB of RAM). Because of his speed & memory, I would like to have the laptop handle larger & more intensive tasks.

  Although my laptop has a smaller hard drive compared to my office (A 136 GB HD in the office (200 GB) compared to a 141 GB (I guess this HD is around this size, but since it came pre-installed, & I am currently leasing to buy, I don't know), I would like to be able to use if possible of the TWO HDs.)  All I need is for both computers see the two HDs & all the files on it.

  I tried implementing the sharing of files, as shown elsewhere on the Linksys site, but he lost when I rebooted both my computers, since that's what the page told me to do (I followed Windows XP as the Office has all the files that I want to share & Windows XP is the operating system of the desktop).  Should I have not done this?

  In addition, my ultimate goal is to GET RID of the big bulky monitor I connected to the back end of my desktop PC & all simply use the laptop instead, because it does not take a lot of desktop space.  Y at - it an emulator "Virtual monitor" or software of some sort that I can download (for FREE please ) that will allow me to see the jobs of all the computers on my network, just as if I

  had REAL monitors?  If so, where could I find one?

  In short, together, I have accomplished a lot lately since I bought the router & linked computers, as you can see, I still need help & I've got some learning to do.

  Any help I can get would be MOST appreciated.

  See you soon

  Make sure that the file and printer sharing is enabled...

  Also, make sure the computer are in the same workgroup...

  Default workgroup in Windows Vista has been renamed to WORKING group. In Windows XP, the default workgroup name is MSHOME...

  Also go into the computer on each computer software firewall and set it to "trust", other computers on your network.
  If your firewall or PC security program maintains a list of approved applications (also known as a "zone of confidence"), so make sure that your router is in the zone of confidence on your firewall...

• Kobo e-book sharing between two computers

  Hello

  I personally use Kobo on my phone, because basically it's free and why buy an E-Reader when my phone can do even more. Now I have also read books from Kobo on my laptop and he lay my father and I wanted to share my books with him. I followed these instructions:

  «""of course it is a legal way to share books from Kobo.»»» You need to download a free software from Adobe called Digital Editions (ADE). Once download you and open it for the first time, it will ask you to create an account. Simply choose a username and a password and allow your computer to that specific account. Now you need to re-download your purchased from Kobo books using the Adobe DRM Epub (blue) button which will be located next to each book that you have purchased. Know where downloaded files are on your computer and the book will be in this folder. It will be labeled something like URLLink.acsm. More you can write that if you want to enter the name of the book just keep the .acsm at the end. Now you open that file and it opens and loads the rise of ADE. You can open a book using the ADE on up to 6 computers and 6 devices. Your friend must now download ADE but when it opens for the first time, they must use the same username and password you made on your account ADE and allows it to their computer. Once you have both the same ADE account set up you can send each other the .acsm file and open in ADE. With ADE open and the Kobo is connected, it should appear in the devices of the ADE. All you have to do to get books on the Kobo is drag them to the icon of Kobo in the list view in ADE. Once you eject the ADE Kobo, Kobo will update and new books will be there. It's all legal and authorized by ADE and is explained by Kobo their own help section. ADE is also the software that you sue if you download library books, and it works in the same way however you can not share library books. They key is that all users who intend to share books must allow ADE to the same user ID and password. This means that you don't have to share your Kobo ID or password with anyone.«» » »

  The instructions worked, now books are on my dads computer, but they cannot be seen in Kobo because, frankly, this isn't a device its just software. Is it possible to get the books in his office of Kobo or should I give up and teach him how to use ADE?

  Just received a book from Kobo (free) with a browser web.

  When I launched Kobo Desktop, which we downloaded automatically on C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Kobo\Kobo Desktop Edition\kepub (under a ridiculous name).

  and I could read it on Office of Kobo.

  When I renamed it to "test.epub", I have read on a regular reader; It does not seem to have any associated DRM.  Indeed, it wasn't a Kobo editing at all, but a Gutenberg a.  However, I just experimented copies .epub (nonDRM) files in the same directory, and Kobo Desktop does not see them.

  So, back to your original problems.  It seems that your Kobo books are just automatically sync to the computer of your dad when he opens Kobo Desktop, and it should be able to read them on his office of Kobo.

  He won't be able to read the books that acquire you by other means on the Kobo desktop.

• "Limited connection" when you configure the network between two computers XP.

  Original title: Configuration of the network connection

  Trying to establish a network connection between two home PCs., both running Windows XP Pro. Have been through the network on both PC Setup Wizard but, they still say limited, in fact no connection. I use an Ethernet cable between the two Crusader. If it is true what I'm doing wrong?

  Thanx Terry

  Old but good, networking tips from MVP Malke, MS:

  The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. This way you get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of security more between you and the Internet. Then you configure your network wireless safely, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Here is information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It seems long, but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and the LAN of sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

  The router configuration

  Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista, maybe the CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set up the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet cable for the connection you have just set up the router to DHCP (or there may even be a choice of cable to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you select TRP usually and enter the username and password you selected when you initially set the DSL connection. So:

  1. turn off the power to your cable modem.

  2. attach a cable (usually supplied with the router) course Ethernet cat5e Internet/WAN port of the router to the Ethernet port on the cable modem.

  3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.

  4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

  To configure the router:

   

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar.

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). If you have a newish computer, you will be able to affect security WPA2-Personal Mode. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password you created to join the network and start surfing.

  B. file/printer sharing of

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

  Set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

• Try to set up a direct parallel connection between two computers in Windows XP Home edition

  I tried to set up a direct parallel connection between two computers in Windows XP. I have the right cable (CAT 5 Ethernet connection) and you can set up the connection on my own laptop, but when I go through the installer on another laptop it create new connection-establishment of advanced connection--> when the next window opens asking me to choose between "accept incoming connections" and "connect directly to another computer" (which I need to select) for the second option is grayed out and not can not be selected.

  The same thing happens when I try to implement the same connection between my laptop and the desktop we have. All of these computers are running on Windows XP service pack 2. I really need help with this because I'm about to start pulling my hair.

  Any help would be very, very, much appreciated.

• Remote access share folder between two computers

  I have two computers connected by a CAT5 cable, have all two firewall is enabled. This network has a server, DNS & DHCP server or router. Only two computers XP SP3.

  • Firewall is enabled
  • File sharing and printer checked with selected custom list

  Two types of tests:

  Test 1: I configured two computers with a static IP address and enter the IP subnet 10.0.0.0/24 network in the custom list. The PC - A (10.0.0.1) and typing\\computername or \\IP_AddressPC - B (10.0.0.2) access. Access to shared folder has no problem with this setting.

  Test 2: I changed the dynamic IP address static IP on both computers and let XP itself generate dynamic IP 169.x.x.x. I went to the list of custom and changed in 169.0.0.0/16, this settings I'm unable to access the remote folder.

  • I could not access by \\IP_Address get a message error "network path was not found.
  • \\Computername took almost a minute to open a window, but he has now shared resources, such as file sharing.
  • I can ping by IP address, but could not ping by ComputerName

  Issues related to the:

  1. Class B is allowed in the custom list?
  2. Can I use the IP address dynamic Windows XP for the connection between two computers or on multiple computers?
  3. Why class C has worked very well and no class B?
  4. Is it because I used XP dynamic IP or custom list accesses no class B or both?

  Johnny

  Hello

  Part of a Wireless cable/DSL Router is a DHCP server.

  The server assigns the IP address to network computers are configured to Auto obtain IP address.

  If for some reason, the computer cannot connect to the router, it cannot obtain an IP address and Windows assign a default IP 169.xxx.xxxx.xxx. This IP address is not functional for regular internet IP and network.
  
  Since you don't have any DHCP server on your system, you must use static IP as you did before.

• Content of mail to sync between two computers

  Is it possible to synchronize the content of mail between two computers [iPhone, if possible]? Computers currently send and receive the same two e-mail accounts [not an account of @iCloud.com]. But if I receive an email, reply or remove it on a single computer, it is always also a new email unread on the other. It's a possibility, perhaps with a disc of individual cloud?

  Late 2008 MacBook Pro. El Capitan 10.11.3

  Mac Mini; El Capitan 10.11.6

  iPhone 6; IOS 9.3.5

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Only IMAP e-mail accounts sync on devices. That's how to operate these services - nothing else is required to achieve this.

  If your email is responsible for no synchronization across all computers and devices, you must have type accounts pop connect you to these accounts via a web browser and look at your options and account services. POP is such an old system these days there is almost nobody left that enemies do not switch to IMAP.

  If all this is confusing, call your email providers and ask them to make the change on their end, then ask the information you will need to enter on your computers and your iDevices.

• Is it possible to synchronize a directory between two computers using ReadyCloud Desktop Client?

  Hello knocwans,

  Sorry, but ReadyCloud app is designed to allow you to synchronize folders computer device ReadyNAS and not from computer to computer. There is no option on the client where you select as the source computer and another computer as the destination.

• GPIB communication between two computers

  I try to communicate between two computers via GPIB. A computer to send an order, the other will receive, save and then respond accordingly. This response will then be received by the first computer and displays (this is the emulation of a device, the real need is to communicate with a satellite TT & C)

  I realized all of this. However, to be in listening mode I wired a property node with a timeout-infinity (1) before reading. Now I can't leave the VI as he is still stuck in playback until the receipt of an order.

  How can I get out of the VI when he's stuck in playback function.

  PS: Using GPIB for communication is a requiremnet of ht eproect and cannot be replaced.

  Hello

  You can have the timeout of read and then clear the error and keep looping until you get a message.  And then you can use arithmetic consisting of stop the loop if you click on the stop button, or get one error other than a timeout, or if playback returns data.

  If it works for you?  I joined your 'writing and then read.vi' with the added code.  Double check my logic, I'm sure it's just but not run it.  Also, if you return a large amount of data make sure that the time-out period is sufficient.

• E/s Ethernet between two computers

  I have two computers running labview. I'm trying to generate a signal on one and read it on the other. Connection between two computers is ethernet. The problem is that NEITHER MAX cannot detect a network device. I have ping successfully the signal sent to the computer via the command prompt. Any ideas on why MAX can't detect the signalling computer?

  Try running the examples on the same machine. If you can't find the example works between two instances of the application of different on the same computer, then you certainly won't operate on two different machines. Once it works, try using the IP address instead of the host name of the computer. If still no luck, try disconnecting all other networks on both machines.
