• Sharing of network problems please HELP!

  Hello

  I'm trying to put a server, I have problems setting up network shares. I am 2 users, Carlos (admin) and the family. Carlos has access to the C, D, E, G and H. But the family has access to the public folders.

  I was able to share with the family, with success, public folders, but for some reason, C, D, E, G and H also highlighted when I connect with the family user account, and when I click on one of them says "access denied", but when I connect with Carlos, C, D, E, etc. work great. I'm doing something wrong? I want to just public folders appears when I connect with the family, not the HARD drive account.

  Thank you

  Hi Carlos,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

  Your question of Windows 7 is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public.

• Impossible to activate permanent "network discovery and file sharing" in advanced sharing without turning windows firewall at the wide service.

  Environment:

  I have a workgroup Windows 8 pro PC with all updates from Windows update. The PC is connected via WiFi (home) to a router (the same thing happens if I am connected to the router directly via RJ45). It's my "private network (NAT). I have the Windows Firewall is enabled in its default configuration. I use "Windows Defender" as my protection\firewall of virus software.  "When I go to: change options for sharing different network profiles" under advanced sharing options. I try to turn on file sharing and network discovery in the private profile. It shows that "the private sector is the current profile. The radio button lights. However, when I go to the file Explorer / network I got the message ' network discovery and file sharing are turned off. " The network computers and devices are not visible. Click here to change... " I click to change, however when I click to change it keeps returning and gives me the same message. I then go in ""network control and Internet\Network and sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings " and the option buttons in private profile for the network discovery and file sharing are turned off."

  If I turn off the Windows Firewall. Everything works. I need to open a hole in the windows firewall for 2 applications was discovered and network file sharing. I opened rather not just blindly ports. However, if this is the only solution, what ports do I need open.

  Hi all

  I have exactly the same problem.  (and I'm not the only one. - There are many!) The problem does not lie with the Windows Firewall. If I turn it off, discovery network and file sharing is turned on-tour he turn it back on and its all disabled subsequently and the rest of the way.  I've been round and round the forums of the world looking for a solution but still find a definitive answer. Can certain software engineering in Microsoft Please arrive at the correct answer.

• 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.

• 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 password protect my files shared on my network?

  I am trying to share a folder on the network and the have password protected. I use Windows XP Service Pack 3 Professional. I have disabled in simple file sharing files Options. All my computers are in the same workgroup. For the record I would like to share, I have the following settings:

  On the sharing tab, I 'Share this folder', filled in the maximum limit and the share user name. The "Permissions" button, I deleted "Everyone" and put in a username I've created specifically for the sharing folder connection and he gave total control. Everything is left to him by default.

  For the Security tab, I just like default except added the user account, I created and that you have authorized for total control.

  When I look at from any computer on the network, I can see the computer and shared folders in the working group. There is a default folder "SharedDocs" I open it. But if I try to enter the folder that I created, I get the following error:

  "You are not allowed to access \\MYCOMP\SharedFolder. Contact your network administrator to request access.

  If I do all what I said above, but instead of adding the user account, I put "Guest" or "everyone, then the file can be found on my other computers without the error but no password is invited. What should I do so that when I try to enter the folder, it ask for a login and a password.

  As a side note, my other computers do not have this problem with their shared folders. When I click on the computer under 'View workgroup computers '. Rather than open a list of shared folders, it opens a prompt for a login and a password, and if they are correct, it will show that all shared folders and files shared to that user. If the password of the specific folders is not possible, should what settings I change so that it works like this instead?

  My apologies if this should have been in the files, records and research topic.

  When you connect to a network share, authentication proceeds roughly in this order:

  1. If the user on the remote computer is connected with a user name that exists on the machine sharing the passwords match, while the user is authenticated as himself without another guest.
  2. If the user on the remote computer is connected with a user name that exists on the machine of sharing and the passwords do not match, then this as seen user denied access to the computer sharing without prompting.
  3. If the user on the remote computer is connected with a user name does not exist on the machine of sharing, an attempt is made to authenticate the user "guest".  If successful, that the user connection looks like it is 'guest' on the machine of sharing user.
  4. If the remote user is unable to authenticate as a 'guest' on the sharing machine, then a name of user and password screen appears to provide authentication.

  It seems to me to make it work as you want, you want to make sure that step 3 above does not occur.  This can be accomplished by disabling the "Guest" on the machine sharing account. (This forces everyone to authenticate on the machine)  Two ways to do as an administrator on the machine of sharing:
  (A) bring up a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
  NET user guest / active: No.
  (B) right click on 'My Computer'-> manage-> system tools-> local users and groups-> users
  Double-click "Invited" in the right window-> Put a check in the box "account is disabled".  "OK" your way out.

• How can I connect Windows XP to several networks, Wi - Fi for internet and the other for file sharing?

  On windows XP, I need to connect to two different networks. Free wifi for the internet and the other for file sharing.

  Different gateways, different static address, same subnet mask. But there is problem when operating simultaneously and must

  a network must be disabled. Is it possible to run simultaneously?

  original title: served various networks simultaneously on windows xp

  Go to where you have configured the static IP addresses for your network adapters.  Leave the "default gateway" blank for your local file sharing adapter and insert a valid default gateway for your wifi Internet adapter.  Of course, this will limit your adapter in a single subnet - which should be OK for use at home or small office to share local files.

  This should work as long as the two physical subnets have two different subnet numbers. In general, this means that the first three digits of the IP address of the adapter can not be the same on both adapters - if they are, then you need to make one of the subnets. (i.e. one is 192.168.1.xxx and the other would be 192.168.2.xxx).  This is usually accomplished in the router configuration page.

• 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.
  See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
  Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.
   
  Method 2.
  Also check the settings under tools in AVG security suite. You may need to check with the help of AVG on it.
  Or you can disable the antivirus software and check if that causes this behavior.
  Temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and check if the problem persists.
  Disable the anti-virus software
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• Sharing files on home network - Vista Home Premium 32 and 64

  Hello people,

  I searched for hours, I made countless different steps to try to understand this point, and yet I'm still far away.
  I have two computers on my home network.
  -Machine 1 is Vista Home Premium 32-bit and is connected via a wired connection to my NetGear router.
  -Machine 2 is Vista Home Premium 64-bit and is connected via a Wireless connection to my NetGear router.
  I have a WD WorldBook connected to the Machine 1 via USB and I would like to be able to access it through my home network on Machine 2.
  Here are my settings that may be useful to know.
  Machine 1:
  -Cable
  -Network: NotURInterwebs (private network)
  -Working Group: DISCOVERY
  -The discovery of the network: WE
  -File sharing: WE
  -Public folder sharing: OFF
  -Printer sharing: OFF
  -Password protected sharing: WE
  -Media Sharing: OFF
  Machine 2:
  -Wireless
  -Network: NotURInterwebs (private network)
  -Working Group: DISCOVERY
  -The discovery of the network: WE

  -File sharing: WE

  -Public folder sharing: OFF

  -Printer sharing: OFF

  -Password protected sharing: WE

  -Media Sharing: OFF
  If I go into start-> network on the Machine 2 I see the other computer and the router, but when I click on the Machine 1 I get the following text:
  Windows cannot access \\Machine#
  Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there could be a problem with your network. In an attempt to identify and solve network problems, click on diagnose.
  Error code: 0 x 80070035
  The network path was not found.
  However, when I go to start-> network on computer 1 and click on Machine 2, I have no problem connecting.
  Does anyone have an ideas that could help me understand what is happening?
  Thank you!

  Hello

  Thanks for the detailed information.

  We need additional information to help you with the problem, please answer the following.

  What antivirus application do you use?

  I suggest to change firewall security settings, or disable the security software on the system and try to access the location.

  Method 1:

  Disable the firewall on the Machine 1 and check the status of the issue.

  Enable or disable Windows Firewall

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

  Note: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall is enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

  Note: In addition to a firewall, you must also be an antivirus and anti-malware program to help protect your computer. Install Microsoft Security Essentials or another antivirus and anti-malware program and update it. Many of these programs update automatically.

  Method 2:
  Error code 0 x 80070035 indicates that the network path was not found. This problem occurs if the NetBIOS over TCP IP is not enabled in Windows Vista. Please follow the steps below.

  (a) click on «Start», enter "NCPA. CPL"(without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  (b) right click on the connection you use for the local connection, and then click "Properties".

  (c) click on the button continue to check the permission of the administrator.

  (d) click to select 'Protocol Internet Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' and then click 'properties '.

  (e) click on the button "Advanced" in the opened window. On the "WINS" tab, select 'Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP' and then click 'OK' to save the setting.

• "the service does not exsist as an installed service-" File Sharing/networking

  I am running Vista x 64 Home Premium and have recently had problems with my file sharing-printer sharing network discovery-Media Sharing. For the last 8 months I run my Xbox Live through my computer laptop Ethernet to log-on Xbox Live connection and had no problem connecting. Recently I went to connect and was not able to connect my 360 * to the internet via my Ethernet connection. I checked my network & File Sharing settings and noticed that ALL my "Sharing" Options have been disabled. When I tried to turn it on I get "service does not exsist as an installed service.

When I run the sfc.exe program it gives me the final results of some files have been found to be corrupt, but have been unable to solve the problem. I can't locate my Vista recovery disc after moving so I won't be able to reinstall to factory set up.
