• Problems with the windows/debian home network after router switch

  Hi all:

  I'm new on all the forums, but desperately need help. Even though I am not new on windows and have been building my own computers for years, I am pretty new to networking and also for Linux.

  I have a home network with 3 computers with windows 7 installed and my server with Debian Squeeze. Somehow I've muddled through the installation of debian and even on my network using samba (after days of research). Everything has been great to work with all 3 computers and my server talking to each other.

  I got internet connection across the home network, and all the computers + Server appeared and was accessible on the LAN. It was with a little D - link DIR-601, last week I lost all the internet connect to Comcast, which turned out be their problem but Comcast informed me that my router was not the best and he was originally put my speed problems.

  So I bought a new router Linksys WRT54GL and installed yesterday and it's where I need help... I have internet connection and you can surf the web on all computers 3 windows and the debian server, all computers 3 windows appear and are accessible on the LAN, but not the debian server.

  As soon as I reinstall the D-link router, everything is back to normal. I tried with my limited knowledge of Linux to change network configuration files in my debian server but so far no change. I'm not sure this is a linux problem or a problem with linksys... If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this problem, I could use you help... Thank you ALL!.

  Thanks for your suggestions, but it turns out that the problem was a Linux problem, after changing routers, I had to make some changes in debian Linux as share. I'm on duty again.

• Difference between "Home network" and "Business Network" WITHOUT a domain name in Windows 7?

  I'm paranoid and always try to choose security options more high.  In preparation for the implementation of a small Windows 7 network behind a NAT router wireless and wired, I'm working through "Microsoft Windows 7 in depth" by Cowart and Knittel (what, rights of copyright 2010).  I fell right on the following steps (mentioned verbatim in p. 446-447), that I don't understand.  (The steps are clear enough but the real difference between the first two choices is not.) :

  «.. . Click on change settings, click Network ID...  You are prompted to select the option that best describes your computer:

  • This computer belongs to a network of business; I use it to connect to other computers at work.
  • This computer is a computer at home; It is not part of a corporate network.

  «That one you choose made a significant difference...»  If you choose the option "Business Network", Windows configures your computer for a better level of security it will be for domestic use [my underlining].  The wizard then asks you choose one of the following responses:

  • My company uses a network with a domain name
  • My company uses a network without a domain name

  «.. . If you build your own network as described in this chapter, select a field, then click Next.  The last question asks a name for the network working group.  Leaving the WORKING group by default in place".

  It seems that you can set up a "Business Network" 'without a domain' that outward behaves as a similar "home network".  If Yes, what is this 'higher standard of security' that will result? -JCW2

  There is only one difference between home network and profiles work that appears when you sign in for the 1st time.

  A profile of home network allows to create or join a homegroup, on a job profile that you can not. So what it means actually using the term "business" is false and the differences in security are limited.

  One of the limitations of a workgroup can access one action requires the credentials of all users to set up on the host pc, setting up a homegroup automatically creates a common user between computers that could be considered a low security setting...

• Can't view the YouTube video because there is an active filter. It happens on the job and home networks and only on Firefox (15.0.1).

  After update 15.0.1 Firefox and Adobe Flash Player to 11.4, I was unable to view the media from YouTube. I was given a message: "this video is not available with the filter of education allowed.» To view this video, site network administrator will have to add to a playlist. I work for a school district and use my laptop at work so I thought that I got this message because YouTube is blocked on this network. But when I got home, I got the same message on my home network with YouTube videos. I have reset Firefox and he took care of the issue until I'm at work, and the problem happened again with the same message everywhere... I tried to post the same videos on another browser (Safari) and it works beautifully. I'm afraid that if I reset Firefox even once, I'm having the same problem.

  It is possible that YouTube set a cookie to filter which can still be seen when you connect at home. To clear cookies for youtube.com, you can use one of these:

  (1) 'dialog show Cookies' tab in Preferences/Privacy:

  Firefox > Preferences > privacy > 'view the Cookies '.

  Type yout in the search box at the top to filter the list and remove each cookie individually.

  (2) "view Cookies dialog box" in the Page Info/Security tab:

  While displaying a page on the site-

  Tools > Page Info > Security > 'view the Cookies '.

  -remove each cookie individually.

  Then, try to reload the page and see if Youtube behaves differently.

• 2 two IP address are reported to use my home network and both are reported to be in the same IP addresses. I have computert that one and only one account with the provider.

  What is wifi has an IP address.  This situation occurs generally if the INVESTIGATION period have the value static or more likely in your case that the whole of the network (including the router) need to be restarted.  Usually if you restart all devices at the same time it will erase it

• My first home network and I treat my wifi sharing profiteers and slow down my connection.

  Password and WPA - PSK but the router software gives me conflicting information.  Right, the system state now says 5 client connects wireless says 2, says dhcp 5 and traffic watch customer 6 ip addresses.  I have a wired connection, wireless 4 auth.  They are not all always connected, I know their macs if I see them, and there is a mac, I don't recognize, so I've blocked, but is there invisible links?   My speed was 1 Mb download and upload of 3 MB when I get home from work at nite.  It is Comcast internet and a router 300N.  Can someone tell me what is happening?

  Speakeasy Speedtest just gave my 14 down and 3.5 to the top speed, an hour later.  Now I'm really confused.

  It's probably unlikely that you are being put to good use.  Your system status and DHCP show 5 customers.  Both are probably connected as the system reports no doubt that DHCP has taken into account.  Leases DHCP lasts usually about a day, DHCP cannot be aware if a device is removed from the network and treat it as if it was always there.  I expect 6 IP addresses that the router itself would probably be the 6th and usually has an IP address of 192.168.1.1.  If you do not recognize a MAC address, you can access a site such as:

  http://www.macvendorlookup.com/

  and enter the MAC address.  It will return the manufacturer that has the MAC address that can help locate the device.

  Speed tests reflect the conditions of the internet traffic between two points and may vary considerably over time.

• Home LAN in the network as 'Unidentified network' and position the 'Public' profile in black - cannot be changed.

  I have two systems running W/7 Home Premium - in both LAN I setup for my home network is presented as 'Unidentified network' and is set to the 'Public Profile ' represented in black, which can not be changed. I cam change the name of the local network that is displayed correctly, but nothing else. I tried to use just the TCP/IP 4 and setting static IP addresses, who worked on these systems using Vista, without success. I tried to use TCP/IP 4 and 6 without setting static IP addresses - again without success. Looking at the forum for discussions on what I have not been able to find a solution to the problem. There are two systems.

  MJMathews

  I fixed it after many hours. Here is my situation and my workaround. It will be useful.

  At home, I have 2 internet broadband connections. One is ADSL (20 Mbps) behind a router with DHCP and the second is cable (120 Mbps) directly behind the modem (public IP to the computer). Both lines go to my Mediacenter PC that is always on and running the Kerio control (https://www.kerio.nl/products/control/). Kerio is a router function software that supports the binding switch. As you can see, having a working internet connection is essential for me. A third network interface card is configured with a static IP (192.168.3.1), Kerio is running a DHCP server on it and is connected to my home network.

  I did two things, but I think the real trick is the second. Anyway, the first step was that I ran the Powershell script mentioned in the http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dimeby8/archive/2009/06/10/change-unidentified-network-from-public-to-work-in-windows-7.aspx . Works on all networks unidentified to the networks work. Well, not either but the Group residential don't start on work networks!

  Windows 7 detects your home network by looking at its front door. Because I was running router/gateway on the same PC, I don't fill out the IP Address of the gateway. So, he won't give the popup to identify the network and you won't be able to put it manually at home. Also, I forgot to do it in the script.

  Setting of the gateway to the static IP address also did not work because Windows deletes the address of the gateway (192.168.3.1) after pressing OK. My Tip: Add a second IP address for the network card. For example 192.168.3.254. Then leave the main IP (in my case 192.168.3.1) and set the IP of the gateway to the second IP (192.168.3.254). A few seconds later, Windows will address the context menu and select "Home network" and you're done!

• How Brussels a printer on a home network using two different versions of windows/XP and 7?

  I am using an HP printer installed on my home network and my Windows XP with my new Windows7/64 bit. Windows XP is 32-bit.

  Someone at - it the key?     Jack

  Hello

  If your network contains computers running different versions of Windows, put all computers in the same workgroup.

  I suggest you to refer the steps mentioned from the link, this could help you share the printer on the network.

• Windows 7 not remembering home network

  I have 2 computers that are configured in a wired network:

  Laptop1 - Network switch - Laptop2

  For security reasons, there is no access to the internet.  (For the few times that it is necessary, we use wireless.)

  Because they are only 2 computers, I've set up static IP addresses to Ethernet adapters (IPs private / class C) and told me the network card it was a home network and then set up a homegroup.  (They are also in the same working group).  Since there are only two computers on the same subnet, I don't bother to set up a DNS gateway or default.  The only thing that caught my interest is that the NIC kept showing "unidentified network" - which could be the cause of the problem described below.  (Because this network does not have the particular signs, I expect that's why Windows confuses.)

  After everything was set, I was able to share the files from one computer to another.  I have had absolutely no problem.  Unfortunately, every time restart us the computer, the two computers stopped talking.  When I went back to look at the network, it has been reset to the Public network instead of :ome network I selected previously.  What happens on BOTH computers.  Once I tell the computer in a home network, everything works perfectly - I don't even have to Setup homegroup.  Unfortuantely, as soon as we reboot a computer, this computer forget and returns to the Public network.

  Other information:

  Both computers running with administrative accounts.  Because of custom software, we are unable to upgrade to 8.x Windows or Windows 10 right now.

  I did some research and have seen many answers/different answers to this question.  #1 response seems to be to update the NIC drivers and I'm looking into that.  Is there something else I can look at?  Maybe add something to the network configuration to manually tell him it's the same network?

  Found the workaround:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/71408-unidentified-networks-set-private-public.html

  While I don't really 'it' because it is automatically the network a network of 'work', it allowed me to progress.  When I had to add a 3rd computer to homegroup, I had to change the first computer network temporarily work back home in order to get the 3rd computer to join the homegroup and then after the system has restarted, he returned to 'work', but the HomeGroup continues to operate correctly.

  I don't know if this is addressed in Win10, but it would be nice if manually configure us a computer on a network, so we can manually set as call it and the private setting would stick without having to enter in the security policy.

• problems of home network with WMP300N

  When connecting to my home network to an HP Pavilion a250n under XP pro using the WMP300N, I can see and access the other computers on my home network (including another wireless computer running vista), but none of them can access this computer. When I wired this computer through the internal LAN port command, the other networded, computers can access the sharing of files very well. The network router is a WRT300N. Is the problem with WMP300N or the router, and you have any suggestions on how to fix it?

  When you connect the computer to the network using the WMP300N, check if the other computers can ping this computer. Maybe the firewall (Windows Firewall, antivirus, etc.) has been activated on the map only wireless network, just do a detailed audit and find out if it is the culprit.

• try to set up a home network with two different operating systems.

  My mother has a desktop in Vista and two laptop computers, 1 on Vista and XP 1. the office is connected to the internet and has a wireless modem. the two laptops are wireless connections and both can connect to the internet using the wireless. The printer is connected to the desktop computer and file/printer sharing enabled. I can't connect to a home network.

  I tried to run the tutorial "set up a home network" and solve problems, but since they are different versions that the buttons are not in the same place and are marked differently.

  Hello

  This"the desktop computer is connected to the internet and a wireless modem" , is not clear.

  To have a coherent network, the Modem is connected to the network, the router must be connected next Modem WAN, and the wire from the computer or the wireless must be connected to the router.

• Unknown error in the network and sharing Center

  When I opened my network and sharing Center where the active networks would be just said

  'Unknown '.

  and

  "The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process"

  If I open Services.msc and check the list of networks and Network Location Awareness service, both are on automatic and both connect as a network Service.

  Network list service does not work and does not give the error:

  Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process

  I'm connected to my home network and have internet access and also a local access to other computers, it's just not appearing is not on the network and sharing Center.

  A result of this is that some of the metro apps don't report any internet connection and will not start. I currently now disconnected my microsoft account on the computer and use a local account, but the problem is still there.

  I also tried

  netsh winsock reset

  from an administrator command prompt but no change.

  Can anyone help?

  Hi Andrea,

  Please keep us updated.

  This can be shown because of missing or corrupted system files. This is why I would recommend running the System File Checker tool, which is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

  To do this, click Start, type command or cmd prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

  At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  Note: Do not close the command prompt window until the audit is completed 100%. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is complete.

  I hope this helps. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.
