• No file/printer sharing between 2 Vista machines

  I have a dell desktop of Vista 520, connected directly to the SMC router then the modem cable and a new dell 1720 laptop computer vista wireless connected to the router. Both connect to the web and are enabled for sharing all. When you look at the map of the network on both systems other machine appears correctly on the network, but with a switch between them and the router. I have disabled the firewall on both machines. 1720 shows the 520 as being on the network (discovered when the other computers on the network is selected), but has no access to file, such that he cannot talk to the printer network that is connected to the router. The Office 520 shows not even the 1720 as being on the network working group, but he shows in the network map? The two machines are configured for the same private network and are fully enabled in the network and sharing Center. Network Vista seems to be much more complex and therefore more prone to problems when you install XP then. All ideas are welcome.

• File/folder sharing for the same group

  My desktop (Windows 7) and laptop (Windows Vista) are connected by a router. Both are belongs to the WORKING group. This is no problem for the printer share.

  I can see the icon from my desktop to my laptop but there is nothing (no file or folder) to the inside. Even if I change both to the homegroup, it's the same thing. I have to do some settings on files or folders to facilitate the sharing of files/folders?

  This is the case if the two computers (connected by a router) to join homegroup, they can share files of data or records no more automatically setting?

  Indeed, Yes, that is what should be a home group.

• Problem with password protected content Migration

  I just did a migration (11 hours after a lot of questions and problems - "transfer" is BS) I had to finally buy an external hard drive so that it can work because it failed several times with a network and a connection cable - regardless, I did it and now the new PC requires a password for the old account to access the protected file which includes Outlook and VERY important e-mail I have this.  Problem is it is a PC at home and had no password but who do not accept the new pc.  Can someone tell me what I'm missing here?

  Thanks in advance for any help

• Can I access a file on a server where the path is password protected?

  I have a file stored on a computer in a remote location.  This file must be consulted in several test computers to update the results of the tests.  I need to access the file to collect the results.  Currently I have to connect to the remote computer via the file manager and say file manager to save the password so that LabVIEW will be able to access the test result file.  Is it possible that LabVIEW can do this?  I don't want the test computers to stay connected to the remote computer, as someone can possibly accidentally damage the file.

  Thank you.

  This question has come up before. Have you tried a search? You can use the "net use" command through Exec System to set up the network share, and then you can disconnect. Do a search on 'net use', or simply type 'net help use' at the command prompt.

  You need to set up on your network Local (LAN) of file/printer 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). The Vista network type must be on "private". "Public" is for when you are connected to an Internet connection 'foreign' as an Internet café, at Starbucks or a hotel, etc.

  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 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then 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. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. 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) in Vista, turn on password protected sharing. Create accounts of users and corresponding 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:

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

  Vista - Start ORB > Search > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  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.

• Problem of file sharing between Windows 7 and Vista using a working group

  I use a working group and have a shared folder on a computer that is running Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm trying to access the file from a computer on the same workgroup that is running Vista Business. It requires a username and password that I turn off password protected sharing on both computers and tried all combinations of accounts and passwords on both computers, but can not get access to the file. I'm sure I'm missing something and you would appreciate the help.
