• Password required to access the network home

  I just plugged my new Dell XPS 420 under Vista Premium on my Dell Dimension 8300 under XP SP2 through a router linksys wired. I changed the workgroup names are identical and sharing.  The XPS 420 replaced a Dell Dimension 8100 older on the network.

  The Dimension can access shared files on the Vista machine with no problems, but when I try to access the files on the Dimension 8300 in my XPS 420 wonder a user name and a password.

  I don't know what user name or password it asks for but that you want to disable this requirement.  Any ideas on how I could do this, or if I can't disable it, what username and the passwork it might need?  My 2 pc's are not protected by Word.  Thanks for any help.

• Problems of networking - cannot access other computers via network

  Help, please!  About six months ago, I had Internet from Time Warner.  They provided a wireless router.  I set up the network with my desktop and laptop.  Both computers have XP and two of them access to the wireless network.  Everything worked well.  I was able to print with the laptop through the desktop computer.  I could also access files shared from one to the other.  One day it just stopped working.  I'm guessing after a windows update.  In any case I spent a LOT of time to sift through here looking for answers.  One thing I discovered is there is a lot of those who are experiencing the same thing, but nobody seems to have an answer to the problem.  I found an article that told me to increase the IRP stack size.  I tried and it worked for a few days and then it is right to give me this message, "you might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission.  I'm about to lose my mind.  I don't understand how he could have worked for two months and then stops.  The only firewall I run on each one is Windows.  Help, please!

  Jack,

  After typing this long email discuss my problem and I did some internet research and found this post that said they have solved the problem.  He said ' I solved the problem by adding the "Protocol of Transport compatible NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS" to my list of properties of network on every computer on my network.»  I tried it and it worked.  Only problem I've noticed so far is that it takes time to move a folder to.  To back up a folder, he thinks for a minute before moving.  Any thoughts?

• Username and password required to access the security settings

  I have a HP5520e printer all in one. I'm putting it to scan to my computer. The instructions say I should activate Webscan from the administrator under settings and Security Options. When I try to access the settings of the administrator I wonder a user name and password. Should what username and password I enter here?

  gnomad899,

  Welcome to the HP Forum.

  Start with the standard:

  admin = admin

  password = password (or leave the field blank)

  This assumes, of course, you have not used EWS (built-in web server) and a password for her before - what you CAN do using the integrated Web server.  Once you do not set a password using the EWS page, whenever you want to watch some settings, set some parameters, you must enter the password that you set up.

  EWS is simply the webpage to the printer interface - as if you use a web page to talk to your router software.  Same thing: sort of, except that you type in the IP of the printer on your browser instead of router, of course.

  ============================================================================

  If it won't let you

  You can try to reset the printer.   Be aware that if you do this, you need to re enter all previously entered information (wireless settings, etc.).

  You may be able to reset the printer on the front panel - settings > settings default (or similar).

  OR

  Troubleshooting > troubleshooting > printer keeps no connection Wi-Fi

  Fourth step: reset the printer and wireless router and then restart the computer

  Follow these steps to reset your printer and your wireless router, and then restart your computer.

• New i - Pad, password required to access the internet

  We bought an i - Pad 2 and our router will not otherwise let us internet without a password.  We don't know what it is.  We can find somewhere?

  Hello
   
  1. What is the brand and model of the router?
  2. The internet connectivity problem is only limited to IPad?
   
   
  Check the IPad even on another wireless connection and see if it works.
   
  I suggest you to reset the router to factory settings and check if it helps.
  If the reset does not help, you can contact the router manufacturer for help.

• connect other computers to the internet through an ad hoc network of a connection__ broadband windows 7

  I have a HP netbook with a Windows 7-based broadband connection.  I created a residential group of this netbook so other computers running Windows XP can connect to it and use the connection Strip.  I have inconsistent results.  Sometimes it works and sometimes not.

  My question how do I set up a gateway to the internet from the netbook to other computers can access the internet.

  Do I need to set up a network of residential group for this place?  Is there some settings of internet connection of the netbook I need to change (for now that I disabled the firewall, so it does not interfere).

  Thank you

  I do not use a router.  My netbook has a map broadband and a wi - fi card.  Simply, I connect to internet through my broadband card.  I tried other computers to be able to access the internet through that connection, that's why I've set up homegroup (maybe I would not do?)

  Anyway, sometimes it works but is not for most.  I'm trying to keep it simple and not get a router, etc. since it is a situation that's going to happen from time to time.

  Thanks for responding!

  Paula

  As posted earlier...

  To use your netbook as access wireless router/AP watch these GUI frontends to netsh commands that will do this for you. I do not think that you have ICS enabled to do so.

  http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/

  http://www.Connectify.me/index.html

  ICS, in my experience there is a very long time is flakey at best...

  FWIW, there are routers broadband accepting adapters broadband videophone/USB/etc function for example. According to what broadband service, you have maybe one depending on your needs.

  Hello

   
  1. are you able to see the scanner and your computer from other computers on the home group?
  2. what version of Windows are you using?
  3. which antivirus app do you use?
  Method 1:
  Enable or disable network discovery
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/enable-or-disable-network-discovery
  Method 2: You can also check by keeping the computer in the boot and disabling antivirus.

• Group residential access from other computers is read-only.

  Two machines, home network, both running Win7 Pro 64.

  Both machines have multiple accounts.  On the machine at the bottom are the accounts under the name of Tom, Dick and Harry.  (Not really, but they are good examples, yes?)  On the machine of the floor are the accounts under the name of Tom and Dick.

  Tom is the main user on the machine at the bottom.  Dick is the main user on the machine on the floor. Tom & Dick should have permission to read/write to all files in the home group (two machines).  Harry, as an ordinary member of the residential group should only have read permission.

  If I right click on the Tom's Documents folder on the machine of dDwnstairs, I see the following permissions:

  Homegroup: read; Tom: Owner; Dick: Read/write

  Yet, when Dick tries to access to the file of the machine on the floor, Dick read only privileges.  Specifically, if she tries to drag a file on homegroup--> Tom (BOTTOM)--> Documents folder, Dick Dick receives a "Destinatino folder Access Denied" dialog box that says: "You must be authorized to perform this action."  Dick can see and navigate to the folder without problem.

  If Dick logs into his account on the box at the bottom, it can read/write files of Tom as expected.

  Is there a way to associate the account in the box on the floor with the account on the box at the bottom, so that file permissions are identical regardless of the situation?

  Correct, both accounts must be related. And I'm also unclear on the declaration of help text, maybe I'm missing something.

  Regarding the setting up of a working group, you are right that the steps are VERY similar. The difference is when you're on a homegroup, the system uses the credentials of home group and not the credentials of the account from your system to connect to a share. So in theory, if you remove all systems in residential group and configure the network in the way that you said in your original post, you should be able to share normally with the permissions that you set up.

  Just remember, when you're on a homegroup, the system uses a called hidden user accountHomegroup$. When it connects to a share on another computer, it is not identified asTom, it connects asresidential group $. This is obviously different from a working group that uses the credentials of the current user to connect (Tom).

  Let me know if I answered your question, I think I have everything! :)

• How do I find my username to the home group so IO accesses files on my PC from my computer laptop win.7

  How can I find my username at my home group so that I can access files on my PC from my laptop - Windows PC Windows7 10

  1 2 profiles are used because you can assign two different levels of access to files, read-only and read/write.

  Recommended for networks Windows is to assign rights to a group rather than an individual user. This way you can give any number of users the same rights by placing them in a particular group. Not quite relevant in a homegroup but in a domain where users come and go, change roles etc. it makes it easy to manage. So, we have two groups and two users to place in these groups. You can see the mechanism in action by looking at security settings for one of the shared folders.

  In a workgroup environment basis with say 5 PCs with each having their own main user who is 5 user accounts. For all users to access files on other computers of their own this means that not only the user account must exist on their own PC, but it must be created on all other PCs. This includes management so if a user changes his password on his PC then it must go around each of the other PC and change the password on those, otherwise he will be denied access.

  HomeGroup avoids this by creating an additional user that exists on all PCs and has the same password in all of the group because it is defined in the configuration of the homegroup. Although the primary user on a PC is refused by another PC, it will accept the credentials of the user to the homegroup. Which of the two is accepted depends on the required access.

  Thus, although the mechanism seems a bit complicated (and there is more than that) there is a logic to it.

• I am not able to connect Stor-E for the other computers on my home network

  I just bought a Stor-E but I can't connect to other computers on my home network which I think is a Netgear router which is connected to my BT home hub.

  I can access the stor-e of my laptop and pc, but cannot access the Stor-E when I go to the working groups then on my PC it calls for a Net User ID and password have tried my user id and password for my pc but this doesn t seem to work.

  Someone has an idea what I am doing wrong?

  But in general your Stor-E works correctly when you connect it directly on different computers, right?

• I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer.

  I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer. The computers are connected by a switch, fixed IP addresses that are correctly configured and point to a DNS server outside the network. When I try to open the icon for one of the computers, he asked for credentials. I try to type the user name for the computer that is sharing the resource and the password. It is the user account whose computer is loged on and belongs to the Administrators group. for example: user name (Computer1\username) password (password). It does not work. The Windows Firewall is disabled on all computers. It worked well there 2 days. I can't find anything wrong with the network settings. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

  If the portion of the machine has activated - Simple file sharing (i.e. it is XP Home or it is XP Pro with Simple (default) file sharing) - while all file sharing connections authenticate as user 'guest '.  It will not matter what username / password you provide, it will attempt to authenticate as 'guest '.  If the guest user has received a password or the guest account is not active, you will experience the symptoms you describe.

  If the serving machine running XP Pro and Simple file sharing is disabled, then you should be able to connect by specifying the user as computer\user and the password to connect.  To turn off Simple file sharing:
