  • Home network between vista machines

    I followed all the instructions of several textbooks on the subject to get 2 PC to talk about a task force private using Vista Home...   In fact at some point these PC 2 connect...

    Using the control panel > network > network sharing Panel...  I implemented the 2 PCs so no permissions are required to communicate to ove my home wireless network...

    AND when I "View Full Network", I see the PC machine most my Windows 7 2.

    BUT whne I just go to the "network" I only see my native machine on the Local network. AND if I try to map a network drive the other PS are NOT recognized.

    How to solve what is blocking the connection?

    Is there a list of things to check or "ping"?

    The question, is my new DSL AT & T Wireless and router?  Blocking of communication between computers?

    For hours on this "simple"... problem

    Thank you

    AT & T

    IT FIXED!

    Naughty NORTON SEURITY!  blocked me.

    Norton could see my 3 PCs...  But there they were 'protected' (isloated)

    I changed their 'TRUST' and bingo!  SCP could communicate and share files!

    Thanks for any suggestions...  I'll make my own list of quick steps MORE these reference files

  • Home network between 2 computers by LAN does not.

    I am trying to establish a network between 2 computers per LAN. They are in the same workgroup and I see each computer on the other computer. When I try and open or use of disks from one computer to another, I get 2 messages. 1. you don't have administrator rights. 2. this drive is not accessible. I used the wizard of network at home several times without success. Both computers have Windows XP. ????? Is there an easier way?

  • Machines Vista cannot see the rest of the home network

    I don't know what's happened recently, but here's the thing.

    I have a home network, 1 Vista desktop, 1 Office XP with shared USB attached, 1 drive NAS (running Linux kernel I think). All devices set to the same workgroup 'HOUSE '. Until recently, I could see all the devices in the Vista machine with the selection of 'network' of the Explorer.

    Now I see that me, the wireless router, and if I turn it on, an another Vista laptop. The Vista laptop has the same situation - he sees only the vista desktop and router and anything else3.

    I can connect to the XP computer manually by entering \\computer_name\external_drive_name and even with the NAS drive. I can't see the with the Vista Explorer.

    I can't say exactly when it happened, but is has been in the last month. I see the console of restoration that there is an update Tuesday 4/11, but if I try to restore before this date of restoration fails.

    Discovery network, file sharing, etc., are always turned on. I tried to do a complete reset of the router but nothing helped.

    FYI - Norton of 365 security card option fortunately shows everything on the network, so I know that all devices are in the same workgroup.

    Any advice would be greatly welcome.

    I solved the problem with advice from another forum. I forced the desktop computer to become the master browser by setting 'MaintainServerList' in the registry for the 'yes' rather than 'auto '.

    I can now see all the connected devices.

  • Home computer laptop running Vista requires user name, password, and domain name to connect to my home network?

    I've had this laptop for 3 years with no problems. One day last week when I tried to connect to my network home as usual, I get a message saying: more information needed, and he asks user name and PW domain name. All other wireless devices work as usual, only my Vista laptop. I never set it to connect to a domain. If I try to manually remove and reconnect to the network I get the same error. How can I remove this domain setting so I can connect to my home network as usual?

    Hello

    You are using a router that is easier or making an ad hoc network?

    Leave a message from Bob Cerelli:

    The bases for troubleshooting are:

    1. make sure that you have the same (e.g., 192.168.0.x) intellectual property regime.

    2 make sure you have the same mask subnet, gateway, and DNS IP addresses.

    3. make sure you can ping the IP address of the other computer. Failure, just to test, make sure that you disable XP as well as any other firewall.

    4. make sure that you can test other computers by name.

    5. make sure that you have the same workgroup name (note the spaces)

    6. for purposes of troubleshooting, turn off XP and completely uninstall any other firewall software. You can always add more complexity once get you it working.

    7 with XP, make sure you have the same user name and password that the person by connecting to other computers. The default setting for XP Pro is to require a password for network access.

    Things, I tried but still have the problem:

    I turned off of Win7 and XP Firewall and antivirus.  When you try to connect a network drive, I've included the password on Win7.  Win7 was on and off homegroup.  I shared C: authorized "everyone".  Implemented the new location of the network on Win7... as well as a few other things.  It still does not.

  • Sharing files on home network - Vista Home Premium 32 and 64

    Hello people,

    I searched for hours, I made countless different steps to try to understand this point, and yet I'm still far away.
    I have two computers on my home network.
    -Machine 1 is Vista Home Premium 32-bit and is connected via a wired connection to my NetGear router.
    -Machine 2 is Vista Home Premium 64-bit and is connected via a Wireless connection to my NetGear router.
    I have a WD WorldBook connected to the Machine 1 via USB and I would like to be able to access it through my home network on Machine 2.
    Here are my settings that may be useful to know.
    Machine 1:
    -Cable
    -Network: NotURInterwebs (private network)
    -Working Group: DISCOVERY
    -The discovery of the network: WE
    -File sharing: WE
    -Public folder sharing: OFF
    -Printer sharing: OFF
    -Password protected sharing: WE
    -Media Sharing: OFF
    Machine 2:
    -Wireless
    -Network: NotURInterwebs (private network)
    -Working Group: DISCOVERY
    -The discovery of the network: WE
    -File sharing: WE
    -Public folder sharing: OFF
    -Printer sharing: OFF
    -Password protected sharing: WE
    -Media Sharing: OFF
    If I go into start-> network on the Machine 2 I see the other computer and the router, but when I click on the Machine 1 I get the following text:
    Windows cannot access \\Machine#
    Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there could be a problem with your network. In an attempt to identify and solve network problems, click on diagnose.
    Error code: 0 x 80070035
    The network path was not found.
    However, when I go to start-> network on computer 1 and click on Machine 2, I have no problem connecting.
    Does anyone have an ideas that could help me understand what is happening?
    Thank you!

    Hello

    Thanks for the detailed information.

    We need additional information to help you with the problem, please answer the following.

    What antivirus application do you use?

    I suggest to change firewall security settings, or disable the security software on the system and try to access the location.

    Method 1:

    Disable the firewall on the Machine 1 and check the status of the issue.

    Enable or disable Windows Firewall

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    Note: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall is enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

    Note: In addition to a firewall, you must also be an antivirus and anti-malware program to help protect your computer. Install Microsoft Security Essentials or another antivirus and anti-malware program and update it. Many of these programs update automatically.

    Method 2:
    Error code 0 x 80070035 indicates that the network path was not found. This problem occurs if the NetBIOS over TCP IP is not enabled in Windows Vista. Please follow the steps below.

    (a) click on «Start», enter "NCPA. CPL"(without the quotes) and press ENTER.

    (b) right click on the connection you use for the local connection, and then click "Properties".

    (c) click on the button continue to check the permission of the administrator.

    (d) click to select 'Protocol Internet Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' and then click 'properties '.

    (e) click on the button "Advanced" in the opened window. On the "WINS" tab, select 'Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP' and then click 'OK' to save the setting.

    The following article presents NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

  • I can not connect computer vista laptop to my network home, but I can connect to other networks. Other computers can connect to my home network very well. This can be corrected?

    My laptop runs Vista and I've not had problems connecting to my home network wireless until a week ago or not.  Then, trying to connect, I see other available networks, but not my own.  When I try to connect manually, it says that the network already exists.  Other computers, macbooks, are able to connect to my home network without problem.  I am able to connect to a network on my laptop fine unsecured wireless.

    I could 'solve' the problem or get reconnected with a restoration of the system to an earlier date, but it only lasts a day or two.  I searched for another fix and tried many things, including to reset the router, remove my network, and then reinstall, etc, but can't seem to get this to work as if it were - automatic connection as the first network.

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    You have rebooted the router and the pc at the same time?

    You run the IPCONFIG / all from a cmd prompt can and download a preview of the output to a file share services like rapidshare and put a link to it in your next post?

  • 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!

    Hello

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to disable any program of security on your computer and check if it solves the problem.

    After reviewing the question you must reactivate the security on your computer program.
    Note: Run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.
    Method 2:
    I suggest also allows you to check in SafeMode with network.
    Method 3:
    I also suggest you to check the settings of the router firewall.
  • Scan to folder installation network - Win VISTA Home Premium

    Printer is HP Officejet Pro 8600

    When I try to install the Scan to folder network on a desktop computer running Win VISTA Home Premium Web page displays the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".  There is no option to continue anyway.   Under Tools > Internet Options > security all parameters have a default value.

    On my old laptop under Win XP SP3 and newer laptop running Win 7 Home Premium, when I run the analysis of the installation of the network folder, I have to continue, and then configuration page will become available.   Under Tools > Internet Options > security settings are set to default.

    I'm curious to know why I can't have analysis of screen network on Win VISTA Home Premium system folder but I can do on both other systems?  All three computers are on the same home network.

    P.S. as for the Scan to E-mail Wizard, which gives the message that this option is not available on my printer, however on the touch of 8600 printer screen option is there and he tells you how do it.  Scanning to Email app also allows me to scan to e-mail.

    Initially this feature was not mentioned on all models of the 8600, just the models more and premium that you note. However, due to the overwhelming popularity of this HP feature published scanning to email app for the majority of printers who have access to web services.

    I hope that answers your question!
