Guest access to computer specialist to resolve network problems
I work in an office with a server that is used by several people. I need to give our access outside IT consultant to my iMac and the network settings for my Time Capsule. I don't want to give my password for my iMac or the password that I used to set up my network in the environment of office because once the computer is in the system, he would have access to all the passwords in my keychain, but also confidential office files. Is there a way to provide access via the user system invited so that he can make the necessary changes the way my network is set up? Or is there another option other than the route of the guest user (aside from the obvious of meet me after hours of them log on?) Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.
Is there a way to provide access via the user system invited so that he can make the necessary changes the way my network is set up
Sorry, but no. 'Guests' can not even "see" devices on the main or private network so the it guy / girl would have no access to devices on your private network. As such, what he / she would not be able to solve all the problems on your main network that you have.

Can't access my computer vista laptop to network!
I have a network home, defined as follows: Vista desktop connected to the Linksys WRT54G V2 router by ethernet. Windows 7 laptop connected through WIFI; Windows XP connected by WIFI. I'm trying to share desktop with other computers printer. I can access the files on two laptops in my office, but I can't access the desktop of a laptop. If I map network one laptop computers, he said that the office is there, but it won't let me access it. The map shows a switch between the Vista desktop and the routher which I do not know what it is. I followed all of the ideas that I can find to make sure that the permissions are correct. Anyone have any ideas?

Ensure that the file and printer sharing are allowed through the firewall.
Check that network Vista share options are correct:
File sharing: on
Printer sharing: on
Password protected sharing: Off

Hi guys. on the macbook in system preferences > sharing there is a box at the top that says "computers on your local network can access your computer at:" means that other people can access my computer?
"Your local network" is the computers that are on the same router as you. At home, this is your family.
to: "computer name" is the name of the computer, they will see.
Access is provided for items you decide to activate, usually file sharing. For sharing of files, ONLY the items that you specify in the file sharing dialog box details panel is accessible and be only users you EXPLICITLY list by username.

Internet access only in safe mode with network! Help!
I can access the internet and open a Web page in SafeMode with network. When I try to open a Web page in normal mode, I can't. I looked at the diagonisic and it says that my firewall or something is not allowed my HTTP port 80 and HTTPS 443 port and port 21 FTP to open or access. I went into my settings of firewall and turned all these, but I have not yet been able to get access to the internet. HELP PLEASE?
Hello
(1) remember you to make changes to the computer before this problem?
(2) that you get error messages when you access internet in normal mode?
I suggest you follow these methods and check.
Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not 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 during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 2: If the method above does not work, you can put the computer in the boot and check.

On a new XAC1900 after the installation of a home network based on IP fixed, with the main computer wired and all other 8 devices connected WiFi and no problem at all, I tried to use guest access.
I have configured the SSID with the suffix - comments and assigned a password. The SSID of the network is visible on the context of the WiFi but the connection will never be finalized.
The device of the guest, I checked that the SSID of new comments, within its DHCP system, have not been assigned the 192.168.33.XX expected but one IP address, from 169 etc, which corresponds to a provider (not Italian), other then mine. Of course I can not access or enter any password.
I contacted the support chat system that was very available, but unable to give a solution.
I checked the configuration several times and reinstalled the latest firmware, but no result even manually.
Failure is repetitive and the strange IP DHCP assigned to the Guest device is always the same (even after the days), showing that the data seem to be in the firmware. Also after firmware reinstall (verses 1.1.42.162280).
I have no more ideas!
Dear all, first thanks for your help. I finally found the solution. Here's how, for the benefit of third parties.
When I configured the primary network, as always I posted, several equipment (PC, iOS dev, Iphones, portable computers ipads, etc.), fixed IPs. They were assigned in the numbering according to the IP Address of the default router 192.168.1.1. That's why from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.255. I does not take any care about toggle point control DHCP on the router connectivity, and it remained empty. During today muttering I thought: Let me see if activating only not the DHCP protocol to the main network could stop the DHCP server to the SSID of comments. And that's all! I had to explicitly enable DHCP in connectivity for the second (one guest) to exploit SSID.
Once again thank you all

I got my wife connected to my home network running Windows Media Center on Windows 7 laptop and it could be accessed by all computers on my home network. I replaced the laptop of the woman with a new laptop which has Windows 7. During the installation of Windows 7, it automatically set to join my home network. Now all but one of my other computers can access files/folders on the new laptop without a user name or password. But when I try to access the new laptop from pc it ask me a username and password. I never put in place of user names with password on all computers. I can go in the new laptop and send files and public folders from the pc of one of the problems, but not the reverse. Someone has an idea how I can fix this where it is not regarding the username and password on this computer?

My Mac repeat myself "you are not allowed access to this server." whenever I try to connect to a shared folder on a Windows 7 PC. Also, I can't print on a shared printer connected to a Windows PC.
These two things worked perfectly before the update. Nothing has changed on the PC. I tried to restart both computers. I tried without sharing and re-sharing the folder on the PC. The folder is configured to allow "free access" to "everyone" access as guest.
Any suggestions?
No problems like that here (post - 10.11.5). But inter-networking with windows has been hit or miss as long as I remember. Good luck finding the bug...

Hi all
Hoping someone here can help me with this problem.
I have access as guest enabled on my router (firmware v1.0.4). E3200 Computers / laptops can connect, enter the password and use it very well.
When I try to get a smartphone connect (tried 2 iPhones, 3 Windows phones and 2 different Android phones), they are able to connect to the network, but even after the opening, a browser, will never get to the "hotel" Cisco, landing page, allowing them to enter the guest access password and connect to. By checking the connection on the phone settings, I see that they have acquired an IP address from 192.x.x.x correctly
Specifically, I bought this router so that I would not give my WPA key when people came and wanted to use their phones on my network.
Has anyone successfully got it works?
Thanks in advance...
Ok... After a lot of messing around and reset the default settings, I finally got to work and can repro the problem at will.
If the you are in a two router setup and the E3200 isn't the main router (i.e. in bridge mode), guest access will not work for smartphones. Once I swapped the roles of my two routers (i.e. made the main router E3200), guests for Smartphone access works as expected.
Don't know if a moderator / owner of the firmware feature reads the forums, but if you do, I consider this a bug.

App of Smart Wi - Fi and Guest Access + Bridge Mode
Hello!
I put my WRT1900AC as in Bridge Mode Access Point.
Everything is OK. But I identify some things not usable, when my router is in Bridge Mode. Such a thing is the creation of a guest for Wifi/guest access account. The Linksys App Smart WiFi offering however, but it does not work. When I put the guest access 'ON' it just stay naturally 'OFF '.
My question: is it supposed to be the case, or it may become in the future renewed with the software?
At the same time, I can change a lot of things with this Smart WiFi App, when my WRT1900AC is in Bridge Mode. Proven stuff: Wifi channel number change and change the filter MAC they work correctly.With all the Smart Wifi router when the clipping comments wireless value is disabled, because the guest network depends on DHCP for IP subnet isolation.
Is there a way to keep all the features of the WRT1900AC and the route of a primary network. It is an advanced configuration, because you must configure a static route in your main router and configure the WRT1900AC as a router not gateway.
Discussion of the example:

Mode bridge E4200v2 + guest access: No DHCP IP assigned?
New E4200v2 2.0.37. In "Bridge Mode - DHCP" (i.e., Access Point router). Guest access is enabled & SSID broadcast. DHCP server is disabled, because my main Sonicwall router that provides related to major network 192.168.1.0.
PROBLEM = PC Client can see "-comments ' fine SSID and associate with her, BUT PC does NOT receive an address IP DHCP (i.e. 192.168.33.x) so the browser login page never appears and guest access does not work.
I'm sure it's related to DHCP. I'm assuming that the E4200 not receives or sends the comments with the PC client DHCP packets.
I saw guest access works on the old E4200v1 before so I know what it should look like.
Can anyone suggest any probable cause why my E4200v2 would not be providing comments DHCP addresses in the 192.168.33.0 subnet?
I don't have that 24 hours until I have to deploy 2 new E4200v2 at a remote site and after that it will be really hard problems because I will not be on this site.
Thanks in advance for expert advice!
I think I SOLVED!
Apparently, you need to ACTIVATE the two SERVER NAT & DHCP on the E4200, * before * you switch to BRIDGE MODE.
When I did this, access as guest - works great! Hooray!
I guess the E4200 needs to use these 2 services that run in the background to give the subnet access as guest & dhcp work assignments, which is a process hidden, once you're in Bridge Mode.
Wow, Cisco should really have a section of the guide user or KB article about it. Or at least when you click on Bridge-Mode a little pop-up asking you to ensure that these 2 pre - req for are enabled.
I'm moving now.

E4200: Guest access: no IP address on the routers of the waterfall
configuration:
2 wireless routers E4200.
LAN - LAN connected to a cable.
Router 1 is connected to the internet and has active DHCP.
Router 2 is NOT connected to the internet and has disabled DHCP.
Wireless is enabled on both of them with the same SSID.
account/guest access is enabled on them.
It works:
laptop connects to normal WIFI on Router 1--> internet works (IP: 192.168.1.150)
laptop connects to normal WIFI on Router 2--> internet works (IP: 192.168.1.150)
laptop connects to the WIFI router 1--> internet reviews works (after the screen connection in Internet Explorer) (IP: 192.168.33.108)
It does NOT work
laptop connects to Router 2--> internet reviews WIFI does NOT work
--> laptop does she not get an IP address
?
When I connect to the normal Wifi on Router 2, I get an IP address from the DHCP on the Router 1
But when I do the same with the Router 2 REVIEWS WIFI, it does not request an IP address from the Router 1
anyone ideas?
Thank you
comments network only works if the router is connected with its internet port. You cannot use the network invited on the router cascading with the LAN - LAN configuration.

Hi all
For the not 24 hours I tried to access my computer in normal mode. When I turn on the pc, it says "configuration data 1 of 3 steps...". 0% complete"he never spent 0% and within seconds, it automatically restarts and starts again. It's so frustrating! I have a windows vista pc (purchased in ' 06). I can only access my desktop in SafeMode.
I tried to perform a system restore, but not like he says "recovery disk is not the restore point selected. What should I do? I tried to manually create a restore point, but cannot access the system and Maintenance, while in safe mode. I can't do anything but literally access the internet. How can I get Windows back to factory settings it is with these limited resources? I have a Dell reinstallation DVD.
I searched my programs and found that recently Windows automatically updated and downloaded "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer" and "for 2007 Office system Compatibility Pack '. Now, I think it has something to do with it, because they were the most recent updates, before the pc crashed. But I also fear that it may be a virus, which has completely hijacked this PC. How am I supposed to get rid of a bug, if I can't even get the necessary antivirus?
Sorry for the ranting, but it's so stressful when my pc is completely down. Please, please please help me. Thank you in advance for reading this same!
