"files and printers, sharing resource is online but does not respond to connection attempts."

I just got a HP Pavilion dm4-2180us running W 7 Home Premium which does not connect to other computers on my network, or residential group. I get the message "files and printers, sharing resource is online but does not respond to attempts at connection." and the path not found error code. All other 3 computers recognize and connect to the network with no probems, including an another Dell Inspiron also running the same version of 7 W bought the same month as this HP! I tried to launch the troubleshooting tool and even restore the computer to its orignal State; It woud work for a few days, then would not connect or recognize the other computers on the network.

Help, please!

  • localhost is online but does not respond to connection attempts

    It comes to my Windows Home Server 2011 and I can't have my Web home page, or any page on my server, to display.  I get the message error #404 and what I tried to give me the same results.  I tried directly from the desktop to servers, other computers on my local network and via the internet from my work.  The only indication I've seen a problem is that when I click on the "connection problem Fix", I get the message 'site Web (www.rkwco.com) is online but does not respond to attempts to login.' message.

    Hi Mr. Bennet Martin! Thank you for your response to my query. Articles somehow helped, but just to let you know, when I go to 'Share with' option, for some reason any is that I've only got 'advanced sharing. Anyway I always tried to navigate and wander through the dialog box, and here are the steps I'd like to share:

    Local disk > share with > Advanced sharing > sharing tab > Advance sharing button > check the box "share this folder" > permissions * > click Add a button > click Advanced button > click on 'Search' > select NETWORK > CLICKED OK

    Once the NETWORK is added, I clicked on all the check boxes under permissions to "allow".

    He FINALLY solved the problem! I can access my own files on the same laptop when I go to 'Network' on the left side of the pane. Now the other laptop can also access all my files on the selected drive. Thank you for all your help Sir and I hope that this can also be useful to others! God bless you!

  • Win7 spontaneously allows files and printers, sharing on public networks

    There isn't any residential group activated on the computer, but I recently changed the creation of connections of residential group "user accounts and passwords...". "to"allow Windows to manage the homegroup connections... ". ». Normally the files and printers, sharing on public networks is always set to "disable." After login on the computer yesterday, I happened to check in the sharing settings and found that file sharing has been enabled on public networks. I immediately turned off again, but when I woke up once again the computer from sleep mode, today I found that files and printers, sharing on public networks had been reactivated file sharing.

    I wonder if this behavior is related to the homegroup connections settings? Another probable cause?

    Hi Ralf,.

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft Community forums.

    The issue you reported has arisen because of changes in the homegroup settings. As you ' permit Windows manage the homegroup connections "in the homegroup settings, it makes sharing settings to get turned on when you restart the system. So, you can change settings like previous configured in order to solve the problem.

  • NAS hard drive not accessible more: the device is not configured to accept connections on port 'files and printers sharing (SMB).

    Dear,

    I am desperately looking for a solution for my specific problem how access my NAS.

    I have a hard drive from Western Digital NAS (Book Live) which worked fine until now. Yet, I just changed my internet provider and I now have a new Fritzbox 6360. Now, I can not access the hard disk of the commune of programs in Windows. I contacted two suppliers already, but without success. I think I have some incorrect settings in my Windows 7, 64 bit. This is the situation:

    -NAS is still working with my old Fritzbox, for testing that I went back-> ok

    -I can access the NAS via the dashboard or a TwonkyServer-> ok

    -When I access it via Windows Explorer, I wonder is to give my credentials (which don't work) or I get the error message: the device is not configured to accept connections on port 'files and printers sharing (SMB).

    -J' changed my IP address (dynamic even static) and connections, password-> without success.

    -J' tried SFC with the result that found no violation of integrity. -> ok.

    Any idea?

    Can you please turn off the NAS, unplug the cable and Ethernet cable? Wait about 2 minutes then plug all the cables back in. Any security program or firewall to this computer? Try disabling it for now.

    You have another PC or laptop which has Windows 7/8 and try to access the NAS?

    You have a smartphone or a Tablet and download an application for the WD NAS and then try to access files.

    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.

  • my Mozilla Firefox is reduced to a small rectangle (top left of the screen) and does NOT RESPOND to my attempts to use the Firefox browser. That's happened? Firefox would RESTORE it please the Firefox browser to my laptop.

    I was Mozilla Firefox under Internet Explore months ago. Very happy with the maintenance functions, etc. A few weeks ago, I received a message from update while doing some work but have not installed the update at that time. Another update message came with a note of support, confused indicating some dangerous consequences if I have not installed the update.
    A few keystrokes later and my screen seem to go haywire, and my laptop does not respond to my cursor. I stopped. When I restarted and went to the shortcut of Firefox a tiny icon (1 "x 1/4") replica of a part of the normal screen of Yahoo! Firefox appeared and continues to do so whenever I try to use Firefox. I am now to Internet Explore. HELP me to go back to the use of Mozilla.

    Right-click on the image of Firefox in this small window of Firefox and see if there are in this menu popup enlarge . If so, click on enlarge.

    To be clear, Yahoo! Firefox is a modified version of the official Firefox program and may have defects that are not in the official version.

  • Workstation service starts do not (error 1068) - result: files and printers sharing does not

    I read a lot of posts here and all over the internet about this problem.
    None of them correspond exactly to my concerns and the situation.

    Printer share is my main concern.
    The printer is connected to this computer, and I want to be able to print from other computers.
    I have 2 other computers, both with Windows 7, and they used to be able to print through this computer.

    Test/check I've done:
    I disabled my antivirus/firewall and run SFC. EXE. He has not found any breach of integrity.

    Workstation lists its dependencies such as:
    Bowser (watch is not in the list of services)
     
    Service of Network Interface of store (on the road)

    SMB 1 x Mini Redirector (watch is not in the list of services)
    SMB Mini Redirector Wrapper & engine (partial listing under the above - shows is not in the list of services)
    Redirected buffering subsystem (partial listing under the above - shows is not in the list of services)
    MUP (partial listing under the above - shows is not in the list of services)

    2.0 mini redirector SMB (no display in the list of services - has all the secondary lists like 1.x redirector, which also are not listed)

    Other Services that will not start:
    Server (also, what is the dependence of the server listed as "srv"?)
    Computer (on the desktop) browser
    Netlogon (depending on the workstation)
    Configuration of Terminal Services (depending on the workstation)

  • deleted a vista user was copying the documents and photos to the account administrator but does not

    I deleted a user account and has been invited to have the docs and images copied to the administrator account. The name of the copied file appears on the desktop, but there is no files in the breast.

    Hello
     
    Whenever you delete a user account, you will be prompted to "Delete" or "Keep files" and continue with the deletion of the user account.
     
    If you choose "Keep files" when the user account is deleted, by default, the files and the data user is in \Users folder, where is the location where windows is installed for example C:\.
     
    For example, if you deleted the user account 'Test', then the details will be available here C:\Users\Test.
    We recommend that you place in the users directory and check if there is no file.
     
    NOTE: If you choose the option to save files i.e. "keep files" then delete the user account, nothing much can be done to recover the files.

  • First Watch a unexplained file to open a project dialog box but does not say what he wants or case?  Really?

    It is a common phenomenon: I opened a project in first, and instead of the interface user of first, I see a file dialog box.  Apparently first is looking for a file, since there is an option for "display only exact name match.»

    But corresponds with what?  Is nowhere on the screen there a file name, or anything to tell me first seeks.  Isn't this monumentally stupid?

    And so forth, over and over again for each file first can not find.  Your only viable solution is to hit "Skip All", since you are never given a file name.

    Once the project is in place, you can browse your timelines for any red video event.  And when you do a right-click on one of them to view its properties, first show you often inexplicably the name of an audio file.  Sometimes, you see the name of a video file.  But what is missing here, Adobe?  THE path.  You get the name of the file and nothing else.  You have still no idea where first expected to find the file, so you have no way of troubleshooting of his disappearance.

    And I thought the dialogue of media-reissue of old FCP links was bad.  Is there a solution for this?  What is the workflow expected here?

    Thank you!

    Looks like you're on Mac El Capitan (OS 10.11.x), is that correct? If Yes, some dialogs changed with 10.11 Mac and affected dialog boxes are more display the title bar, which is where this information is displayed (this affects a number of applications, not just the first one). Is a question that is being investigated because he was not a problem on Mac OS 10.10.x.

    Since CS6, it has improved to the Media link dialog box (as seen in the screenshot by shooternz).

  • Network printer installs and shows also ready to print but does not print.

    I tried these last days get my network printer after getting a new laptop from work. I have the printer connected to my desktop running vista 32 home, my laptop running windows 7 Home premium 64-bit. I can detect the printer when you add a network printer, very well, I installed without error, the printer indicates as being ready to print.

    When I try to print a test page, I get an error saying that the test page does not print, and returns me to the resolution of the problems... that found no problems. I'm able to share files between two thin computers and the printer works fine from the office and by other computers on the network.

    I tried to uninstall the printer and reinstalled, I've updated the drivers of HP, restart both computers. I have read other forums that suggest you add as a local printer, however, I put the name of exact port showed when detected as a network printer, and it does not find anything.

    I am really struggling to find a solution and I really need to be able to print from my laptop, so any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    As you say that you are not able to print the Test Page, it seems that the printer is not connecting to laptop with Windows 7. You may need to reinstall the printer and try to add ports manually during the installation.
