Help Vista Networking.

Hello

I have a Toshiba laptop runnung Windows Vista Basic. I tried to network to other computers for a while now. In the network and sharing Center, I can see the other computers, but when I try to access it, an error message saying "BlankPC is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.    The specified network provider name is invalid. "Also, I can access my shared files on other computers without problem. They have two Windows 7. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

In principle, when you have a mistake like that it shows lack of configuration on the remote computer is correct.

--------------

Maybe this can help.

Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

Public share
= network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled).
If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

------------------------------

Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).

In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

When you have finished the configuration of the system, it is recommended to restart everything the router and all computers involved.

-------------

If you have permission and security issues with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.

Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

In the properties

Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/permission-security.jpg

The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

* Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

* Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall computers that they are allowed to connect to.

Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

  • Results of Toshiba Connectivity Doctor or Vista network & sharing Center

    I bought a 802.11n router to allow additional coverage of my Toshiba with a 802.11n Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN give me and I never seemed to get the extra than I expected! I tried etc. Since a few weeks I got the laptop, and was beginning to lose patience and hope of ever is it solved, however I just noticed something that only confused me even further!

    I always use the connection to a network/network and sharing centre within Vista OS under my control, "connection status" of my networks etc. & it has never showed that the network which should give me ' isn't a 'g '! But earlier I found and used the Toshiba connectivity doctor, and I found it is sometimes shows the connection as a 'n', but still the Vista "connect to a network & Vista network and sharing Center" show the same broadcasting as a 'g '!

    What should I take as the most accurate, I have little additional coverage when I used to have a portable 'g' and a router 'g', but perhaps remotely an additional 2 meters which, depending on how wonderfully better is the "n" does not seem to live up to the expectation!

    I based my results of the exact coverage, physician connectivity Toshiba or Vista network sharing Center, they can be opened at the same time and showing the different results? I do not understand why they say different things? Crikey Ca? s driving me crazy!

    Hi friend

    already tried INTEL drivers? Theres a special broadcast of the site just about your wireless card, so if you please, visit this site and download the drivers from here:

    http://support.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/4965AGN/

    Maybe it s just a driver related problem. And another suggestion: use a single program to connect to wireless networks. Maybe they cause some internal conflicts in the system which turns off the feature n.

    Oh, and Don t forget to check the properties of the device manager/network on some technical parameters. Perhaps, it must be explicitly enabled, also on your router.

  • Problem with wireless - Vista Network and Sharing Center does not recognize my connection!

    I use the Home Visa software and my network and sharing Center does not recognize my connection but I can access the internet without any problem. Previously, I was using a wireless router Linksys with an old box of AT & T internet with no problems. The problems started after I updated my AT & T internet box that made obsolete the linksys router and now the network share does not connect. I just have the problem of getting the network and sharing device recognizing that I am actually connected to a wireless network. I can't use my printer or share files with other people. I can't get my wireless printer to work if I restart my computer and I have the documents I want printed already sent to the printer. My network and sharing Center also works very well for a few seconds when I start my computer then it turns off again.

  • Search help Vista and Windows 7

    Why the help search is virtually unusable for anyone with knowledge of basic Windows? Help the foundation same information about ipconfig is not in Windows 7.

    Hi Neverest,

    Help and Support in Windows Vista is designed to help with common questions of interest for the new user.  Command line features are generally not used at this level and not included in every detail.

    Most of the people who are familiar with using the command line will appeal to help from there.  It will give more detailed instructions and help the syntax for various orders.  Example from the command prompt:

    >ipconfig /?

    Returns the following:

    USE:
    [/allcompartments] ipconfig [/? | / all |]
    / renew [map] | Enough [map] |
    /renew6 [map] | /Release6 [map] |
    /flushdns | / displaydns | /registerdns |
    /showclassid card |
    [/ information adapter [classid]]

    where
    login name of the map
    (wildcard characters * and? allowed, see examples)

    Options:
    /? Display this help message
    / all display full configuration information.
    /allcompartments display information for all compartments.
    Enough free IPv4 address for the Spucifiue card.
    /Release6 release the IPv6 address for the Spucifiue card.
    / renew renew the IPv4 address for the Spucifiue card.
    /renew6 renew the IPv6 address for the Spucifiue card.
    /flushdns empty the cache of DNS resolution.
    /registerdns refreshes all DHCP leases and re-registers DNS names
    /displaydns Displays the contents of the Cache of DNS resolution.
    /showclassid displays all the dhcp ID class allowed for the adapter.
    /setclassid Modifies the dhcp class id.

    The default is to display only the IP address, subnet mask and
    default gateway for each adapter bound to TCP/IP.

    For release and renew, if no name card is specified, then the IP address
    leases for the cards related to TCP/IP is released or renewed.

    For information, if no ClassId is specified, the ClassId is removed.

    Examples:
    > ipconfig... Display information
    > ipconfig/all... Display detailed information
    > ipconfig / renew... renew all cards
    > ipconfig/renew EL *... renew any connection that has its
    name starts with EL
    > ipconfig enough * Con *... release all matching connections,.
    for example. "Connecting to the LAN 1" or
    "Connecting to the local network 2.
    > ipconfig /allcompartments... Display information on all the
    compartments
    > /allcompartments ipconfig/all... Display detailed information about all the
    compartments

    You can do it with any command at the command prompt.  You can also just type help and it will display a list of commands.

    Hope that answers your question.  Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

  • Windows Vista network card issues: limited connectivity

    My Compaq Presario laptop apparently has "problems with one or more network adapters. My connection shows only "limited connectivity" with the little yellow triangle. I tried several times to restart, update and turned off my computer so that the re - activate and update network cards. The wireless works fine on all other computers in the House, so I know it's my computer and not the modem. What can I do? I need help as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you.

    Hello

    1. You have the latest service pack installed for Windows Vista?

    Method 1:

    The issue could be related to corrupt check Windows Socket the link provided below to troubleshoot issues with the nerve to Windows in Windows Vista.

    How to determine and to recover from Winsock2 corruption in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Windows Vista

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811259

    Method 2:

    First, disable all other connections to try to force the wireless connection to request the information needed in the router.

    (a) click Start

    (b) Control Panel

    (c) network and sharing Center

    (d) managing network connections.

    (e) click every link that is EXCEPT the wireless LAN connection, and then click on disable this network device.

    (f) then see if your wire will connect.

    (g) you should probably run the diagnostic and repair utility on the Network and Sharing Center menu to force the wireless card to request information from the router IP.

    Method 2:

    If all else fails, go back into the network and sharing Center, manage network connections and right click on the wireless network connection and select Properties.

    Then click Internet version 4 Protocol and select Properties.

    Click in the box that says "Use following IP address" and enter the information that has been shown in IPCONFIG report for your connection to the Wired Local network above.

    Do the same for "use the following DNS servers."

    Make sure that you type the IP address, mask subnet, default gateway, and DNS addresses exactly the same than the connection to the Local network was when he got the information from the router.

  • No driver in the comments of Vista network adapter

    Hello

    New to VMWare Player. I've used this other brand for a while but the VMWare converter struck me as something that I could use to help older Windows 8.1 Migration (mainly because the 8.1, it is very difficult to get data etc. off Vista machines on the new machine).

    My first client to try that got a Compaq laptop with a dead motherboard and replaced by a new Acer instead of paying repair the Board.

    I placed his HARD drive in an HP computer to run the converter, and a few hours later had a VM work. I copied that into his new machine and installed VMPlayer (6.0.3) and headed for the virtual machine.

    Everything works fine except that I can't get the network to work - are not load drivers.

    Of course, I installed the VMWare Tools in the virtual machine. And uninstalled. And reinstalled. And repaired.

    Vista sees the network cards, but cannot get the drivers for them. All other drivers are gone but not the most appropriate.

    Files between the host and the guest shared works better than I can say - some read only those and a read/write.

    I tried disabling AV and firewall and do a clean boot (IE no 3rd party programs or services, except those of VMWare) and such other tricks with no luck. Have you tried 'update' with a Wifi USB mounted on the machine, tried to install via lan, tried to setup tools VMware 'drive '. All have failed.

    I tried with this for a few days. I wish I could use VMWare as the converter allows to transform their old computer in a virtual machine that is very easy, but if the network does not work then I'll be forced to use something else.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Fine thanks

    It should work the same way with VMware.  Set up your guest XP with Bridged networking, then set it up in the same way that you did with your physical XP machine.

    You just bought the L40 (Realtek card) and it cannot see wireless networks. The diagnosis of Vista, is that the wireless adapter must be turned on. Then, it will fail to start. Function key and F8 (wireless on/off switch) does nothing.

    The wireless router is well - connected to an XP machine. I can connect to the router without a problem by using an ethernet cable.

    Running on the latest Microsoft drivers.

    Pointers much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    you turned on the wireless the case switch on "ON"? Maybe you forgot this one, and this is perhaps the reason why it won´t work.

    Please check and make sure that you then use the FN + F8 switch.

  • Need help with network home using Airport extreme

    I need help with my home network.  I'm not very aware when it comes to all things network.  Here's how my network is currently set up.

    Cable modem to Airport Extreme for Gigabit Switch.  Cables come out of the switch to all areas of the House.  I have 2 other extreme airport connected in other rooms of the House directly on the wall that dates back to the switch.  I hope I am explaining that properly.

    My problem is that this seems to have caused some of my connections cable does not work.  When everything is configured, it has worked well.  All connections in the House worked.  Then we have disconnected one of the extreme airport and moved to another location in the House to have the best wifi coverage.  Since that time, a lot of the ethernet wall plugs are not working.  For example, when I plug in my Macbook Pro in making ethernet in my kitchen, it says connected but it has an assigned ip address and cannot connect to the internet.

    Any help you can provide would be great.

    I would like to get the return tech to help you to...

    But it is likely that something (or someone) has tampered with the settings.

    The layout is fine... but you can cause problems with the network by creating a loop.

    This can happen because the AE you moved is connected wrongly... somewhere in the network it is connected to the switch again.

    Or AE is set to expand wireless... It's FAKE... It will loop the network on the back main EI wireless.

    Unplug the two AE you have that function as extensions...

    Turning off everything else... then it works again...

    Do it in this order.

    Modem... Wait 2 min

    AE... Wait 2 min

    Switch.

    Now check that the network is working properly... power of customers in various locations and make sure everything is good.

    If so, then manually reset the two AE of factory and redo their installation.
