original title: cannot open or copy some files within the home network
I have a home network that are connected by a router.
A (main) pc is connected via a cable to a router on Windows XP pro sp3.
2 other laptops running Windows 7 connected via Wifi.All of them configured to work with the workgroup MSHOME.
On the pc main (with XP), I have a folder shared with full access, including change files. The folder contains videos that are uploaded directly to it.Sometimes 2 other laptops can not access some files, they see them but can't open them or copy them, I get this error:
http://S3.PostImage.org/623foisor/image.PNGIf I do the following:
On my main pc I move the movie file in this folder to another folder and then bad bring it back.
The file can be accessed and copied!What's wrong?!
I'm glad that you guessed it work.
Permissions show that "Everyone" has full access inherited, so that the list must have been made after that you have added everyone. "Everyone" in this list without a guest user (or any user if you have active Simple file sharing) would not have permissions on this folder.

Networking two computers - one running Windows XP and Windows 7.
I just got this new laptop yeaterday which has Windows 7. My other laptop that I am trying to network with some (or share a home group) works on Windows XP. I have zero chance having these computers recognizing each other or another share. Any ideas out there? Thank you!
Hello
You use the work (Home) network, homegroup.
Maybe this can help.Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.
Homegroup = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.
Network of home or work = fundamentally similar (and better) to the previous Working Group sharing methods which 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.To get best results connect to each computer system screen and set all the computers to be on a bearing the same name of Working Group , while each computer has its own unique name.
http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg
Make sure that the software firewall, AV, or other security components allow free local traffic on all network computers. If you use the 3rd group of security, firewall native Vista/XP must 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/AV/security costumes continue to block aspects of the Local traffic even it they are off (off). 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 .
------------------------------
If your network consists only of Win 7 and you want a simple network, use it.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/help/videos/sharing-files-with-HomeGroup
After you have configured the homegroup, scroll to the bottom for the Permission/security section.
-----------------------------
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 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.

Home network problem cannot access one of that PC even if should be able
I ran into a problem... I have a PC running Windows Vista and Windows 7 PC on my network home. I can 'see' each from the other PC PC when I go on the network. The Windows Vista-based computer can access shared folders on the Windows 7 PC... and the Windows Vista computer can share items specially for windows 7 PC SHOULD have access to these folders. I placed the user for the Windows 7 PC as co-owner. HOWEVER, when I go to the network on the Windows 7 option, I select the Vista PC in the network thinking it should then show me the file and instead, troubleshooting network appears.
When I go to the troubleshooter, it says that it can't find the Vista machine... even if it it displays network before I tried to access it.
They are both in the same workgroup. I checked the machine windows 7 has permission for the folder in question indeed. and I've checked that the machine of windows Vista CAN access folders on the windows machine 7...
No idea what I'm missing?
Thank you!
Hi Jim,
1. did you change any software on the computer?
2. where you can access files on Windows Vista earlier?
Method 1:
Please click on this link to find how to share files and specific folders with someone,
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/share-files-with-someone
Method 2:
Disable the antivirus/firewall softwareand check if it helps.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software.
Warning: If you need to 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, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 3:
Turn off sharing protected by password:
Password sharing is enabled by default for computers of working groups. When password sharing is enabled, people using other computers on your network cannot access your shared folders or printers unless they have a user account on your computer. There are two ways to enable file or printer sharing:
o identical user accounts create on all computers in the workgroup (recommended). For more information, see create a user account.
o turn off password protected sharing. To turn off password protected sharing, follow these steps:
a. open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button on the Control Panel, click Network and Internet, and then click Network and sharing Center.
b. under sharing and discovery, click the arrow next to password protected sharing.
c. click turn off password protected sharing, and then click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Please, try the following steps and check.
I hope it works!

Home network problem: 0 x 80070035: network path not found.
I have problems with my home network; my laptop is unable to access the files on my HTPC
More precisely:
Laptops and PCs are running Windows 7 Ultimate. My laptop is connected to the home wireless network, the PC is connected through the LAN. Router is a Netgear DG834GV. Both computers have fixed IP addresses. They are part of the standard workgroup workgroup. There was formerly a group residential, put in place, which worked very well. We also have a Vista laptop that does all the unusual problems. Until a few days ago, the whole Setup worked perfectly. I could previously access/copy/distribute multimedia content, play on the PC via Zune music on my laptop and print from my laptop to the computer, but now I am unable to do one of these. The other laptop still works fine.
From the network on the PC screen, I can see the files from the laptop and access.However, since the network on the computer screen laptop, I see the PC, but when I try to open it I get the error "Windows could not access \\MEDIACENTER. 0 x 80070035 the network path was not found. "I ping the PC with the IP address and name, and I can even remote to the computer desktop.
ipconfig on the laptop did something funny...
State of the media...: Media disconnected

Card tunnel Local Area Connection * 139:

... up to 200. I can't that assume it goes back to #1 as well.
After a few suggestions on here I just went through the enable netbios over TCP/IP, but now I can't see even the PC! Still can ping and access internet tho.
Any suggestions as to what may be the cause?
Here is the solution for "error code 0 x 80070035 network path not found" on Windows Vista and Windows 7 computers. Click on the button 'START', select 'CONTROL PANEL' and go to 'DEVICE MANAGER'. Click on "NETWORK CARDS", then click on 'VIEW' and select 'SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES'. In the expanded view, you will see a long list of numbered "MICROSOFT 6to4 ADAPTER". My Windows 7 Professional Office had 200 of them. Right click and select 'DELETE' on all but 1 of them. You can only do 1 at a time, so it takes some time. When you have only 1 left, restart the computer and enjoy being able to see the other computers on your network, including the RESIDENTIAL group files.

Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled. I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated. I read related security problems, but I have not found a match. I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach. It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update. «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»
When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.
Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."
Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.
Norman
When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer. Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance. I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.
also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools. They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

To connect two computers with a cable, not a router, it must be a crossover cable.

I am running Windows XP and suddenly find that Firefox fills my whole screen. Of course I pressed a key combination that has created this problem, but I can't get it back to normal. The Firefox toolbars at the top of the screen disappeared and so I can't access my favorites. The windows at the bottom of the screen status bar disappeared. Help, please!
Apparently, you have set Firefox to auto update. He has probably updated to the new version, Firefox 4.0.
To check if this is true, go to your bar menu at the top of the screen. If you don't see the menu bar, you can activate it by right clicking on an empty area in the upper part. Of this, you should see the menu bar, toolbar Tools Navigation, Bookmarks Toolbar, toolbar add-on, etc.. Click on those you want to activate.
Once this is done, you can check your plugins to make sure they are up-to-date with the latest security patches.
Please come back here and click on solved if it solves your problem, so that others with the same problem can find the answer quickly.

I am running Windows 7 and noticed that Windows updates did not work. The parameters are defined for the update every day. When I went to update manually returned an error WindowsUpdate_80070017. MSFT site was no help. Any recommendations?
Since neither updates Jan - 10 have installed, I'm going to hand you Support MS in the hope that they can resolve the problem. See below.
That being said, is an interpretation of the 80070017 - cyclic redundancy check error "a device attached to the system does not work," which suggests that a hardware problem might be the cause of the error (although I must say that it is a very low possibility in this case).
Good luck!
