• CAN´t find other computers on the home network Windows.

  I have a home network windows already defined with two desktop with Windows XP and a laptop with Windows 2000. The computers are connected to a router with ethernet cables and the lap top wireless (WiFi) to the same router. Now, I'm trying to connect a fourth computer (a desk top) with Windows Vista.

Can someone help me with the configuration of the computer "Vista"?  Thanks in advance.  / Thomas

• Home network Windows 7 analysis Question

  I have a HP Deskjet 2050 (printer/scanner) connected to my computer Windows 7 Home.  My wife wants to use the 2050 to analyze hundreds of photos, but I don't want the printer cable have to be tilted back between computers whenever she wants to scan something.

  How can I give him the option to scan (it can print on the 2050 very well on our home network) without having to move the cord for the printer on the computer?

  Too bad, I guess.  Delete this thread because there is no solution, and it will become one of the 1 million other threads keen people will seek and find.

• Home network Windows 7 and XP: can map drives etc network but not to synchronize OneNote

  Hi all

  I have a Windows 7 laptop and a desktop XP SP3, all connected with happiness to a wireless router. On both machines, I have the very underrated and generally wonderful notes 2007, which I rely on for the study. I'm reasonably texh-savvy, but I don't know what I don't know, so it is very likely I missed something very obvious.

  I can update my OneNote notebooks on the Win 7 to XP machine fine machine, but the Win 7 machine does not update the notebooks on my XP machine without asking for a password.

  I checked the following:

  • They both share the same group, the WORKING group.
  • The OneNote Notebooks folder properties have 'action' and 'allow other users to update' boxes ticked on the tab share
  • The Windows 7 laptop can 'see' the Office XP on the network, but by double-clicking on the icon on desktop XP asks for a password
  • When you look at the map of the network, the XP machine is nestled on the corner and not shown to be 'joined' to the router
  • Portable Win 7 I can map a network drive by using the IP address to a shared folder on the XP machine and move files without any problem
  • "File and Printer Sharing" on the Panel of control-> connections-> 'Properties of the wireless network' network is checked
  • Both machines have static IP addresses
  • I don't put passwords for each machine
  • My computer-> tools-> Folder Options-> enable Simple file sharing is checked
  • Guest account is enabled on the XP machine
  • Password protected sharing is DISABLED on the Win 7 machine

  I suspect that there is something that I have not checked/unchecked somewhere on my XP machine.

  Why is the Win 7 computer phone harassment me a password when you try to synchronize a OneNote or click the icon under 'network '?

  Y at - it an exhaustive list of things that I should check or an article somewhere that covers this? I googled loads, but only have mounted artuicles cloud sharing with OneNote 2010 and sharing of files between Windows 7 and XP, nothing on a password is requested during the synchronization of the OneNote files!

  Thanks in advance for your help. I know the legacy tech support is a royal PITA, and I promise you that I will be upgrading to a more sensitive setting when I have the dosh, but in the meantime, I would appreciate some advice! :)

  Hi dogsolitude_uk,

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Follow the steps in the article.

  Networking of computers running different versions of Windows

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/networking-home-computers-running-different-versions-of-Windows

  Method 2: 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 at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• Help with home network Windows 7, Windows Vista

  I have a computer that I want to store all my files on and then be able to access other computers in my house.  So far, I can see all the files on the computer at home, but I can't add new files from other computers on the network, nor can I add or move files.

  I can open the folders on the computer at home from any other computer on the network.  I put permissions to everyone full control, but still I can not change or move all the folders.  The computer is using Windows 7, the main computer that I am trying to access is under Vista.
  Thank you!

• I want to limit the file sharing on a home network, Windows XP Pro (working group) to a specific user on a different computer.

  I can't get this username entered with success because I'm limited to only users on the computer, I'm trying.  I have Windows XP off file sharing simple.  Both computers running XP Pro and I can share the folder, but it is open to ALL.  Is there a way to do this?

  I would like to try to explain how it works.  You have XP Pro on Computer1 and you have disabled Simple file sharing.  It is a step in the right direction.  The facts are that the file exists on the computer 1 and is 1 computer to control what external connection gets access to this file.  Computer 1 can only validate combinations of username/password names he knows.  Is not in a domain, computer environment 1 includes only names of user and password that exists on the computer 1.  He cannot know or trust any combination of name of user and password that does not exist within itself.  The normal method, most people use is to create the same user on computer 1 that exists on the computer that connects and gives the same password that is used on the computer that connects to this user.  If this is the case, the external user connects seamlessly and have access if 1 computer gave this authorization to the user in this file.  Access can be controlled by right-clicking on the file or folder, select 'Properties' and then use the 'Security' tab to generate an access matrix.

  Authentication: When connecting to the computer 1 from another computer, computer 1 search first if the username on the computer connection exists on the computer 1.  If the user name of the user on the computer connection exists on computer 1 and passwords on both computers to match, the connection is established.  If the passwords do not match, the connection is refused.  If the user name of the logged in user does not match a user on computer 1, then the 'Guest' user is attempted.  If the guest user is not protected by a, then the user will resemble the user 'Guest' and 'Guest' appropriate access.  If the guest user is disabled on Computer1, and then the computer connection displays a name of User/Login screen asking the user to provide credentials (name and password) 1 computer can use and recognize to check that the user.  If a name of user and password recognizes that computer 1 is entered, then computer 1 authenticates the user with this credential.

  Of course, once authenticated, the user will have access to these files to which permissions have been granted to this user authenticated according to the KB307874.  XP cannot grant permissions to users, he knows not (obviously) beyond the 'Guest '.

  Bottom line is that you have discovered in a domain environment (workgroup), you MUST authenticate as a legitimate user who is (and who is not disabled) on Computer1.

• Can play.wma files fully but only seconds of .mp3 files on a home network with Windows 7 and WMP 12.0.7601 wireless

  Hello community,

  I have a problem with Windows Media Player 12.0.7061 when I try to listen to music through my home network Windows 7.  Windows Media Player has no problem playing the media all types of files locally on the Windows 7 system.  On my home network, .wma files play well through the (Pioneer) wireless speaker, but .mp3 and .mp4 files only play for the first ~ 5 seconds and then the audio stops.  If I wait long enough, Windows Media Player will skip to the next song and continue to play the .wma file.

  Is this a problem of DRM?  My home wireless network is too slow to allow .mp3 or .mp4 fully transmit the wireless speaker?

  Thank you!

  Problem dealt with.  It's a problem of bandwidth of wireless network.

• 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.

• I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista. I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network.

  original title: Wireless on the Fritz

  I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista.  I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network (both are networks limited requiring a password or log in).  However, last week my computer stopped connecting to my home network (no one else has this problem with the home network).  I tried to fix the problem, but my computer says that "Wireless association failed because Windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router."  That said also thatthe connection "(my wireless network)" has been cancelled.  This is perhaps due to a timeout or user action. »

  The only different thing I did last week was click option at my University 'connect long-term' instead of 'connect short term' to their wireless network.  Maybe who has messed up my settings?  That's what my University said of his record long term: "students, faculty and staff also have an option to easily record their computer (or other wireless devices), so that it is not necessary to authenticate each day they connect from the network wireless campus, to resources outside the University.»  However, these settings are saved on their network (I can access it online from another computer), so I think it is unlikely that he messed up my settings.

  I don't really know what the problem is.  Any ideas as to what I can do?  I don't want to reset my computer everything.

  Thank you!

• Windows 7 wireless connection problem: unable to connect to my home network

  Hello

  I just got a Dell laptop that is running Windows 7.  However, when I try to connect to my home network it impossible apperantly.  When I select "Troubleshoot Proplems" I get "Troubleshooting cannot identify the problem."

  I also already checked the pit of the Wireless Device Manager device.  It is activated and works perfectly.

  I know that the network is enabled and works because I'm typing this message on my desktop wireless capable of Windows XP.  In addition, my roommate is able to connect to the router and 'surf' the internet on their laptops.

  Therefore, I must assume that this problem is due to something in Windows 7.

  Hello Geoffrey.

  Have you tried to change the wireless channel that your router is running at? There may be interference that could prevent the internet connection:

  Take a look at step 6 in this article that give more details about it:

• Persistent problems with wireless home network

  Hi, the problem started two weeks or more ago, when after the connection to the internet easily using our wireless network connection, my computer began to say that our domestic network was unidentified, then studied by troubleshooting my self but do not really understand the information the computer indicated to me. As it was a problem of the internet I contacted our local provider broadband, they looked like the line and the service was absolutely perfect and to confirm this router computer of my father in the same cable network has internet connection easily as it was my mom who was using the connection via the same router wireless cell phone.
  Following the instructions of technitians I have tried to manually enter internet addresses to see if that would help the internet connection, it did. So I thought that the problem has been resolved. I had the use of the internet that day and everything was fine until I restarted the next morning. The problem reappeared. So I called my internet provider again, this time I'm sorry to say to a girl rather too quickly diagnosed that I had a virus to uninstall Google chrome and reinstall a different browser... That didn't make sense to me, but I tried some sort.  So I moved my office tower and all the bits in one place in the House were we could conect it to the router with an ethernet cable followed his instructions then moved the computer to its original position but still no internet connection and still this problem 'identification '. I turned off the machine and tried again the next day. Start by running the troubleshooting of network problems, this time I looked at the detailed report which curiously stated that the computer had difficulty oscillating between two somethings (sorry don't remember the detail correctly is days ago)
  So I called my internet provider again and I am a helpful young man, read him the information and examined the reports that they had written about the problem in the days preceding. I followed his instructions looked in the network sharing Center, settings changed and added in manual codes for the internet, turn off the router for 10 seconds or more and then restarted, this time with not even a temporary success. We tried a few things but I always got the same contradictory message in the dialog box in the lower right corner, where it showed I was connected to the local network not connected to the internet, when I opened the network sharing Center from the local network to the router would show that 'Identification' and the conection to the internet would be marked with a cross. I managed to pass my network profile is for some reason any defined to the public rather that home and we were able to change it (even if it wasn't easy)
  So I was told it was probably a driver issue, I was told I might need check the updates of my license on this operation the technitian and I also saw the site of netgear, that there was a potential conflict between Kaspersky and the netgear driver, so I need to uninstall my Kaspersky anti-virus stuff and the old pilot , down load and install the new drivers and then reinstall kaspersky. I followed it. (Movement of the tower and all the bits in place in the House were the ethernet cable was available).  I found an updated driver, uninstalled downloaded kaspersky and run only the driver installed Kaspersky again. Everything seemed to go well and I even plugged in the wireless adapter connected to the internet through that and disconnected the cable... things were going well.
  So I turned off the machine and carried over into my room where I turned on once again. The problem reoccured. I thought it was time to communicate with kaspersky. So I turned the computer off and reduced to the ethernet cable. Connected a Kaspersky contacted by e-mail, they were quick and I was asked to run a program that logeed my information system. I did this and I told them I thought it might be a conflict between the driver and their softwear, they have looked into it, asking me to run a misuse of this program and the results by e-mail. Once again, I've followed the instructions and took notes, but no problem was found. They showed me how to configure my kaspersky firewall to allow access to the networks. It's when I was doing that I noticed that the computer had five ads of our home network, so I put all the profiles of their trust, apply changes and tested to see if it would work. On the wireless internet in the office where the ethernet cable and a router are by train, it's good, it works. I connected the wireless network and disonnect the ethernet then on the internet and there is no break in service. But if I shut down the computer and set up in my room at 12 meters, it won't work with signal strong (4 / 5 bars are green).

  This morning I watched the windows firewall settings and changed some of them to see if that makes a difference. but none.

  I'm trying hard to think about this problem but I'm getting nowhere fast, I know just enough. I just tried pluging in the wireless network adapter again, but there is no wireless network connection now and no internet connection:

  After having tried downlaoding a new driver and this has not fixed the problem after having only tested the wireless signal is strong enough for good internet connection to my mother's computer in my room, I'm stuck. I looked on the netgear site and follow their advice, but it's really a night Mare!
  I also noticed that somehow, we put in place five versions of our home network, I wonder if there is some confusion computer... I looked into the idea of the removal of the networks, and it seems that you can not do. I am trying to back up my files, uninstall everything and re - build my computer from scratch. If there is something else I should try before taking this message please drastic measures me ASAP.
