• Network discovery, file sharing settings keep changing by itself and Alltel to set the network location continues to ask the wireless device

  former title: network location settings. Discovery of NW. File sharing. public folder sharing. AVG 9.0 'tools' and network connections.

  My Alltel Wireless device again set the network location. And continues to change my network settings for the discovery of NW to:, as well as file sharing for: file public and sharing: read-only.  I have AVG Security 9.0 and under 'tools' and connections network shows several svchost with States reading service connections listening and unknown. I don't want no access to my computer and cannot find any computer consultants who can get this to stop. What can I do?

  Hello
   
  1. the options apply automatically on?
  2. have you made changes on the computer recently?
  3. have you installed any Alltel Wireless application to manage network connections?
  4. What is the current network location type on? Is it home, work or public?
  Network discovery and file sharing settings depend on the network location. For examle, if you set the network as a public location it turn on file sharing.  So I would ask you to turn all the parameters and then choose the type of network and check if the parameters change again.
  
  Method 1.
  I recommend you to check if the problem exists in clean boot. May be a third party application is causing these changes.

  What should I do to configure my windows firewall to allow network discovery and file sharing of printers and media streaming and sharing?

  Hi stephanie,.

  Thanks for joining us out on Microsoft Community Forums.

  Looks like the Windows firewall prevents the discovery network, files and printers, sharing, public sharing of files and streaming media. We will analyze and identify the cause of the problem.

  You have a third-party antivirus installed on the computer program?

  Method 1:

  To turn on network discovery
  
  1. Open advanced sharing settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type network, click Network and sharing Center, and then, in the left pane, click on change settings for sharing advanced.
  2. click on the chevron to expand the current network profile.
  3. click turn on network discovery and then click on save changes. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide
  confirmation.

  The article below explains all about the network discovery:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/enable-or-disable-network-discovery

  If any of these responses not solve the issue, let us then run the sfc scan and check if any file system is corrupt. I also recommend to perform a clean boot in order to find the root cause of the problem.

  Method 2:

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  a. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

  b. type the following command and press ENTER:
  sfc/scannow

  The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

• File sharing problem

  I have four computers in small office. Three see each other, the fourth XP invisable on a Windows network. They all have the same name of "workgroup". and file sharing enabled. I can ping other but cannot get windows network to see?   Number four computer is configured to share files, I ran the wizard several times to double check that the names are the same.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  James

  You left out the part where you tell us what version of Windows is located on each computer. This is important.

  What follows is quite old, but still excellent, former MS MVP Malke boards:

  Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

  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 for the connection automatically (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.

• How to add user from another computer as a Local user for file sharing permissions

• File sharing sharing too!

  I have a strange problem with file sharing.  I fully share a folder, but when I find the Mac that shares the record of another Mac, I see the folder, I shared * AND * I see all the home from another account of shared user-directory and the shared directory is * writeable *.  I don't understand why this is happening.

  Details:

  I have a folder ' / users/shared/Scanner Inbox "I added under file sharing (System Preferences |) Sharing | File sharing).  See screenshot:

  

  When I have my MacBook Pro's ' MacMini' eyebrows, I see "Scanner Inbox", but I * also * see "wasserham", which is the directory to one of the accounts to log on 'MacMini '.  Here is the screenshot of the MacBook Pro, MacMini of navigation:

  

  I am not even connected as user "wasserham" on the MacBook Pro.  This is not sensible.  Can anyone offer some advice on what I did wrong, and how I can stop this insecurity too share?

  Thank you!

  It's normal when you log in as administrator on the file server.

• Local Mac malfunction file sharing

  I am using local file sharing in my house for a good 8 years. I have 2 older iMacs (white 2006, 2007 aluminum) and a new late 2015 5 k iMac that I bought a few days ago.

  For some reason any local file sharing has started to malfunction: I no 1 wifi access point and all computers are to connect to that, but in the sidebar of Finder, tab, sharing only the 2007 aluminum appears. Other computers cannot see other computers except 2007 one. 2007 iMac can see and connect them too. I checked the settings for sharing on all computers, but nothing has changed.

  I tried to manually enter the ip address into Finder go tab, 'Connect to server', but I always find myself with 'server not found '. There is nothing different between computers sharing preferences, but somehow only the 2007 one appears.

  Please help me, I use this feature a lot!

  Thank you.

  Hi pianistemre2,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple support and congratulations on your new iMac! I understand you wanting to continue using the sharing of files between your 3 iMac, but only one is considered by the computers on your network. I know it's a great way to share files between devices, so I'm happy to provide advice to solve this.

  Since you are able to see and connect to the 2007 iMac, it seems as if it were the only one who has fully implemented which files he will share, and with whom he will share the. Make sure that you have followed the steps below to configure which directories you want to share with other users on your network. Also, remember that users can access those files.

  How to share files with other users of Mac:

  1. Open sharing preferences if it is not already open (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Sharing).
  2. Check the file sharing.
  3. To select a specific share folder, click Add at the bottom of the folders list, find the folder, select it, and then click Add.
     1. The Public folder of each user who has an account on your Mac is automatically shared. To prevent a shared folder, select it in the list of shared folders and click Remove.
  4. By default, any user put in place on your Mac in the preferences users and groups can connect to your Mac via network. A user with an administrator account can access your Mac together.
     1. To give only some users access to a folder, select the folder in the folders list, and then click Add at the bottom of the list of users. Then do one of the following:
        1. Select a user in users and groups, that includes all your Mac users.
        2. Select a user from the network or users groups network, which includes everyone on your network.
        3. Select a person in your contacts. Create a password for the person, then click on create an account.

  OS X El Capitan: share your files with other users of Mac

  These steps are specifically for OS X El Capitan, but should be similar for earlier versions of Mac OS X.

  Once you have added users to the network or the correct groups on all your computers, you will be able to access everything again.

  See you soon!

• Slow connection to SMB/AFP file sharing

  Configuration:

  OSX 10.11.3 (15 D 21)

  Server V5.0.4

  Running services: calendar, file sharing, Manager profiles, Time Machine, VPN, Web, Wiki, DNS, FTP sites, open the directory

  We have a problem which has lasted for several months where clients that attempt to connect to file sharing (AFP or SMB makes no difference) takes too long to authenticate. He constantly takes ~ 40-45 seconds to open a session or even reject a bad password. The really strange part is that it affects all computers on our network with the exception of a Mac Mini. Seems not be customer specific, i.e. all users connect without delay on a Mac Mini and slowly on other computers. I was not able to determine differences in settings of network connection or on different computers, but I don't know there are parameters, I'm not aware of that.

  Did someone met with something like that?

  Thanks in advance.

  The faster connection Mac Mini there the active local folders?  Or using a faster SMB protocol?

  can anyone advise on the next steps?

  Get rid of your software "anti-virus" without value.

  I have a macbook pro, y at - it software that allows to clean my

  Mac users often ask if they should install "anti-virus" (AV) or software "anti-malware". The answer is 'no', but it can give the false impression that there is no threat of what is loosely called 'virus '. There is a threat.

  1. it is a comment on what you should - and should not-do to protect you from malicious software ("malware") that runs on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions.

  It does not apply to the software, such as keyloggers, which can be installed deliberately by an intruder who has convenient access to the computer, or who has been able to take control of it remotely. This threat is in a different category, and there is no easy way to defend against it. AV software is not intended to and does not, to defend against these attacks.

  The comment is long because the issue is complex. The essential points are in articles 5 and 11.

  OS X implements now three levels of integrated protection specifically against malware, not to mention the protections of runtime such as quarantine the file, execute disable, sandbox, protecting the integrity of system, System Library randomization and randomized address space layout , which can also prevent other kinds of exploits.

  2. all versions of Mac OS X 10.6.7 were able to detect the malware Mac known in downloaded files and block non-secure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Apple calls internally it "XProtect."

  The malware used by XProtect recognition database is automatically updated. However, you should not count on it, because the attackers are still at least a day before the defenders.

  The following restrictions apply to XProtect:

  ☞ circumvented by some third-party network software, such as the BitTorrent clients and Java applets.

  ☞ It applies only to software downloaded on the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not verified.

  As new versions of Mac OS X are available, it is not clear whether Apple will continue indefinitely maintain the older versions such as 10.6 XProtect database. Versions of obsolete systems security may eventually be affected. Updates to security for the code of obsolete systems will be stop being released at any given time, and which can leave them open to other types of attack in addition to malware.

  3. starting with the OS X 10.7.5, there was a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and installation packages downloaded from the network will be run only if they are digitally signed by a developer to a certificate issued by Apple. Certified software in this way has not been checked for safety by Apple, unless it comes to the App Store, but you can be reasonably sure that it has not been changed by someone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so it could be held legally responsible if it distributes malicious software. Which may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below).

  Access controller does not depend on a database of known malware. He has, however, the same limitations as XProtect and in addition the following:

  ☞ It can easily be turned off or overridden by the user.

  ☞ A malware attacker could find a way around it, or could take control of a certificate of signing of code under false pretenses or could simply ignore the consequences of the distribution of malware Tryggvason.

  ☞ Developer App store could find a way around the Apple control, or the control may fail due to human error.

  Apple took too long to revoke some known attackers codesigning certificates, thus diluting the value of the keeper and the program developer ID. These variances do not involve the App Store products, however.

  For the reasons given, App Store, and, to a lesser extent - other applications recognized by signed Gatekeeper, are safer than others, but they cannot be considered to be absolutely sure. "Sand" applications could make to access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think that before granting access. Security sandbox is based on user input. Never click through any application for leave without thinking.

  4. by starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background. He checks and removes, malware that corresponds to a database of recognition held by Apple. To ensure that MRT will be executed when the database is updated, the App Store tab in system preferences and check the box marked

  Install the system data files and security updates

  If it is not already done.

  As XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against strangers. It alerts you if it detects malware, but otherwise, it has no user interface.

  5. the built-in Mac OS x security features reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not and will never be complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, not a behavior machine, and none only of technological solution will solve. Software protect you from trust only will make you more vulnerable.

  The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. Except perhaps feats of Java, all the known malware, circulating on the Internet wearing reached a completely setting installation to update to OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojans", which may have no effect if the victim is deceived in their execution. The threat thus amounts to a battle of wits between you and cybercriminals. If you are better informed, they think you are, you win. In effect, it means that you always stay in the shelter of practical computing. How do you know when you leave the safe harbor? Here are a few signs warning of danger.

  Software from a reliable source

  ☞ Software with a brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, does not come directly from the Web site. Don't be fooled an alert of any website for updating Flash, or your browser, or other software. A real alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this support page. In this case, follow the instructions on the support page. Furthermore, assume that the alert is false and that someone is trying to rip you off to install malicious software. If you see these alerts on more than one Web site, ask for instructions.

  ☞ Software any is distributed via BitTorrent or Usenet, or on a Web site that distributes pirated music and movies.

  ☞ Rogue sites Web such as CNET Download MacUpdate, Soft32, Softonic and SourceForge distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "install".

  ☞ The software is advertised through spam or intrusive web ads. Any announcement, on any site, which includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.

  Software that is clearly illegal or doing something illegal

  Commercial software ☞ high-end such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."

  ☞ An application helps you violates copyright law, for example to circumvent the copy protection on a commercial software, or streamed media recording to be reused without permission. All the 'YouTube downloaders' are in this category, but not all are necessarily malicious.

  Conditional or unsolicited offer from strangers

  ☞ A phone calling or a web page you indicates that you have a "virus" and offers to remove. (Some reputable sites warned visitors who have been infected with the malware "DNSChanger" legitimately. The exception to this rule applies.)

  ☞ A web site offers a free content like music or video, but for use, you must install a "codec", 'plug-in', 'player' 'Downloader', 'extractor', or 'certificate' which comes from the same site, or a stranger.

  ☞ You win a prize in a competition that you are never entered.

  ☞ someone on a forum like this is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of your choice.

  ☞ a 'FREE WI - FI!' network presents itself in a public place like an airport, but is not provided by management.

  ☞ Online everything that you expect to pay is 'free '.

  Unexpected events

  ☞ a file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, without any further action on your part. delete any file without opening it.

  ☞ You open what you think, it is a document and you receive an alert that it is "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you must always remove any download that is not what you expected it to be.

  ☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as permission to access your contacts, your location or the Internet without obvious reason.

  ☞ Software is attached to the email you na not ask, even if it is (or seems to come) by a person of trust.

  I do not leave the safe harbour that once will necessarily lead to disasters, but make a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malicious software attacks. None of the above scenarios must, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.

  6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it is not related, despite the similarity of names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform to run complex applications in a web page. That was always a bad idea, and Java developers have proved unable to apply it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been a type virus Windows affecting OS X. simply load a page with Java malicious content could be harmful.

  Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is outdated and largely disappeared. Only a few outdated sites still use it. Try to accelerate the process of extinction by avoiding these sites, if you have a choice. Forget to play games or other uses not Java essentials.

  Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later versions. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and Oracle (the developer of Java). Do not use one unless you need it. Most of the people don't. If Java is installed, turn it off- not the JavaScript in your browser.

  Whatever the version, experience has shown that Java on the Web is not reliable. If you must use a Java applet for a job on a specific site, Enable Java only for the site in Safari. Never activate Java for a public Web site that carries the third-party advertising. Use only on websites that are well known, protected by login and secure without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you will see a padlock icon in the address bar when you visit a secure site.

  7. another perennial weak point is Adobe Flash Player. Like Java, Flash is declining well deserved, but content Flash is still much more widespread than the contents of Java on the Web. If you choose to install the Flash plugin, you can reduce your exposure to Flash by checking the box marked

  Stop the plug-ins to save energy

  in the Advanced tab of the preferences of Safari window, if not already done. Consider also installing an extension Safari as "ClickToFlash" or "ClickToPlugin." They will prevent the Flash content automatically load and are initially not Flash video is substituted for Flash on YouTube and perhaps a few other sites. I tested the extensions and found them safe, but you should always do your own research before you decide whether to trust any third party software.

  8. remain within the sphere of security, and you will be as safe from malware you can be practically. The rest of this comment is what you must do to protect you.

  Never install any AV or products 'Internet security' for Mac if you have a choice, because they are all worse than useless. If you are required by a (wrong) institutional policy to install some kind of AV, choose one of the free apps in the Mac App Store, nothing else.

  Why you should not use products AV?

  ☞ To recognize malware, software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least one day to day. This technique is a proven failure, as a major supplier of AV software has admitted. Most of the attacks are "zero-day" - that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry comes to realize that the traditional AV software is worthless.

  ☞ design is based generally on the nonexistent threat that malware can be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; He is not of the blue leaves. To meet this threat does not exist, a commercial AV software changes or low level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a frequent cause of instability, bugs, poor performance, and duplicates.

  ☞ changing the operating system, the software can also create weaknessesthat could be exploited by malicious attackers.

  ☞ especially, a false sense of security is dangerous. This fact relates to all AV software it will never be any changes elsewhere.

  9. a free AV product from the Mac App Store is safe as long as you don't let it delete or move files. Ignore all the warnings that it can give you on "heuristic" or "phishing." These warnings, if they are not simply false positives, see the text of e-mail messages or updates cached web pages, not malware.

  An AV application is not necessary and may not be invoked for protection against malware for OS X. It is useful, or even not at all, only to detect malware Windows and even for this use it is not really effective, because the new Windows malware makes its appearance much faster than OS X malware.

  Windows malware cannot hurt you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows). Just do not pass to someone else. A malicious link in the e-mail is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. A concrete example:

       London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe

  You don't need software to tell you it's a horse Trojan for Windows. Software may be able to tell what trojan is, but who cares? In practice, there is no reason to use a recognition software, unless an organizational strategy requires. Malware Windows is so widespread that you must assume that it is in each attachment until proof to the contrary. Nevertheless, a free AV product on the App Store can serve a purpose if it fulfills a misinformed network administrator that says you must have some sort of application AV. An App Store product will not change the operating system; in fact, it does nothing, unless you run it.

  If you are just curious to know if a file is considered malware by the AV engines, you can download it from the "VirusTotal" site, where it will be tested against most of them without charge. A negative result is evidence of what whether, for the reasons given above. I do not recommend doing this with a file that may contain private information.

  10. There seems to be a common belief that the firewall Application acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents operation of malware. He does not. It blocks incoming connections to some network services you are using, such as file sharing. It is disabled by default, and you should leave it like that if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate only when you are on an untrusted network, for example a public Wi - Fi hotspot, where you do not want to provide services. Disable services that you don't use in the sharing preferences window. All are disabled by default.

  11. as a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected whenever you install the software, read emails, or visit a web page. But nor can you assume that you will always be free from exploitation, no matter what you do. Internet browsing, it's like walking the streets of a big city. It can be as safe or as dangerous that you choose to do so. The greatest harm done by software AV is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They can then feel sufficiently safe to take risks, which the software does not protect them. Nothing can reduce the need for safe computing practices.

• Windows Server 2012 Standard File Sharing - access denied?

  So I have a simple Pentium Dual core server here, and I'm putting in place local file sharing. For some reason any however I can't write files on the disk, even when you sign in as administrator of any computer in the network.

  I've been Googling the problem for hours and I found something on the deactivation of the audit, I did in secpol.msc, but I tried to disable it, and it will not always grant access.

  Is something directly above my head, or is it a problem in the file sharing himself?

  Sorry if I'm not providing a lot of details here, but I'm really frustrated about that. If you need any further information I'll post fortunately.

  Thank you for your time for reading.

• Problem between Windows XP Home and Windows 7 Starter of file sharing

  Hello, I have a problem with file sharing: my desktop computer running Windows XP Home Edition and my netbook runs Windows 7 Starter Edition.

  On Windows XP, I shared a folder: Win 7 is able to open the directory and the files in the list, but there is no way I can open any file in the folder XP, nor that I can transfer the any of these files to my netbook.
  All I get is an error "access denied."

  The XP Workgroup is the same as the 7 home network, and the users have all the privileges on both computers.

  Can you help me to sort out what is happening, please?
  Thank you.
  B.

  As a first step, you have XP Home, which means that the 'Simple file sharing' is applied on this machine.  In addition, this means that any network connection on your XP Home of any another machine machine is forced to authenticate you as a user 'Guest', regardless of what a privilege that may be the real user.  In from here, it would seem that the 'Guest' user doesn't have privilege for the files or folders that you share.  To resolve this problem, you must change the access permissions to these files.

  If you drag (move) files on your computer in your share folder, the origin on the file permissions will be maintained.  On the contrary, I would say that you copy the file to the shared folder by dragging with the right button of the mouse and select 'Copy' instead of 'move '.  A copied file will end with permissions for the destination folder that will be generally more suitable for sharing.

  To the files and folders that are already in this folder, to change permissions, you must Access the 'Security' tab under the Properties screen.  In XP Home, this is possible if you log in as administrator in "safe" mode  To start your computer in Safe Mode (repeatedly tap the F8 during the startup key key), connect you as an administrator user, navigate to the file or the folder with problems of access, right-click on it, select 'Properties', select the 'Security' tab and set security such as 'everyone' (or 'guest') has the privilege of access you want.

  HTH,
