Homegroup and sharing problem

• Part of a homegroup, and shared files are still ask for a network password

  Hello

  I'll try to give as much information as I can so that I hope someone can help me with this problem.
  I'm running Windows 8 pro and my other computer has Windows 8 pro.  On both systems, I am running Windows on a SSD, and I share the folders that are on a hard disk of data as well as access to an external hard drive connected to one of the computers.
  Both computers are part of the same homegroup.  Both computers are password protected (at startup).  I use one of the computers and my husband the other use it so all of us, the newspapers in our own computer via our Acct. Microsoft computers also "turn off password protected sharing" selected in advanced sharing settings.  Both computers say that we are the administrator in respect of user accounts.
  My husband can access all my files shared from his computer, generally with no problems, but on occasion, he is invited to "Enter network password" of Windows Security.  I almost always have this problem while trying to access its shared folders and the external hard drive that is connected to his computer.
  
  We have tried to share the folders on your computer in several ways:
  Share with homegroup
  Share with everyone
  Share with >
  with total control over each of them and I get the message that precedes, or sometimes he tells my I can't access this drive.  Also, one thing I forgot is that each of our computers, said that the other user has the credentials in Credential Manager.
  I feel like part of my problem is while the computer says I'm an administrator, I have always problems to the administrator.  When I try to install new software (this happened to me with Dropbox) I had to right click on the .exe and run as administrator.  I also had set my Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on run as administrator under 'Compatibility' for all work processes.
  I am at a loss to know what to do.  I did a clean install with my Windows 8 disk to see if it was only a problem with I've originally set up the system.  If anyone can help, I would be very happy.  I feel like I'm missing just this thing that's right in front of me that I can't because I'm too close to the issue.

  Hi Candace,

  I suggest to restore all security permissions, then check the issue.

  Follow these steps to do so.

  a. open the command prompt by pressing the Windows key + X , and then click on (Admin) command prompt.

  b. typesecedit/configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf/db defltbase.sdb / verbose and press ENTER.

  I suggest to run Homegroup troubleshooter and check for the issue. It will tell you if there is something wrong in the homegroup connection. See the link to do so.

• Problem with wireless - Vista Network and Sharing Center does not recognize my connection!

  I use the Home Visa software and my network and sharing Center does not recognize my connection but I can access the internet without any problem. Previously, I was using a wireless router Linksys with an old box of AT & T internet with no problems. The problems started after I updated my AT & T internet box that made obsolete the linksys router and now the network share does not connect. I just have the problem of getting the network and sharing device recognizing that I am actually connected to a wireless network. I can't use my printer or share files with other people. I can't get my wireless printer to work if I restart my computer and I have the documents I want printed already sent to the printer. My network and sharing Center also works very well for a few seconds when I start my computer then it turns off again.

• How can I connect to the internet? Problems involving the network and sharing Center does not.

  Hello.
  I live in a House and bought a range extender so that I can get a connection in my basement as well.  I have installation range Extenders without problem.  When you install the range extender, I changed my name to my network router.  I changed the name of the network by typing 192.168.1.1 in my browser.
  The MacBook connects without a problem.  In the basement, the connection of Windows 7 works very well.  I have just connected Vaio Windows 7 my mother to the network, but it prompted that I enter the user credentials.  I read a post above and got that problem solved by opening the network and sharing Center and adding a new connection.  Now that the connection is configured correctly.
  The problem is with the laptop HP Windows Vista family basis.  Since I install the range extender, I can't connect to the network.  He had no problems before you connect the router or other networks to visit other places.  The new network name appears, but when I click it, it says I have to enter the user credentials.  I tried to manually, but the name is taken so I can't make a new and invites me to connect to the network that is established or to connect to a different network.
  • I tried to open the network and sharing Center, but it does not open.  When I click it, it opens a screen for a brief second.  The option "Display the status of network and tasks" opens either.

  • I logged as an Administration by entering the command line < net="" user="" administrator="" ctive:yes=""> > and restarted the laptop.  Even logged in as administrator, this folder does not open.

  • I also did a scan < sfc="" cannow=""> >.  The digitized rolled up with an error, but the error has been corrected.

  • I also updated the connection of the range extender.

  Why the network and sharing Center will not be open to the top?
  How can I configure my router my HP Windows Vista Linksys connection?
  Thank you.  Please let me know if you need more information.

  Thanks for your reply.

  In a last attempt, my sister has used the ethernet cable to connect directly to our router.  Next time, she turned on her laptop, she managed to connect to our wireless network and she was not invited to enter credentials.
  In this case, the manual connection helped solved the problem.

• Windows Vista connected online but not shown on network and sharing Center or on the taskbar, leads to other problems

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 running on Windows Vista, my router modem is a Motorola SURFboard SBG901. A few months ago on this computer, I couldn't see that I was connected online either from right down icon in my taskbar (it shows just two monitors with an 'x', that when you highlight on he says "not connected, you are currently not connected to any network.")  I don't see it on my network and sharing Center which States: "not connected wireless connections are available." In terms of network it shows that my PC and then the line that has an x on him. If you click the x, or select diagnose and repair, he informs me that all is going well with my computer. If I go to connect to a wireless network, it shows that I'm connected to my network ready. I open one of my browsers and they all work very well, I can access any site without problem. I was not embarrassed with him at the time, but since then I moved into a new House and have a new service and everything, with this motorola modem cable. my new wireless network is a network unsecured, which of course, I want to fix it. I can connect to this network, but I can't access it through Windows properties to make sure. I read the manual of the modem, telling me to connect through an ethernet connection and access configuration manager using the ip address of my router on a browser, but which does not charge or the other. I have other devices (Ipod Touch and PS3) wireless I got other people come computers and they all detect the network but cannot connect to it. Thanks for any help.

• Homegroup and multiple user account problems

  I have been searching the net for information and can't find anything that matches.  I'm having all kinds of problems through the homegroup and multiple user accounts.

  I would like to know: when a machine (laptop in this case) is off the network, the individual user accounts will remain visible under homegroup?

  If they are not, then homegroup is not for me.

  UPDATE and closing:

  I confirmed that the individual accounts of the user on a machine that visible to another when this computer is connected to another group residential computer on a local network domestic.  Why they don't look just like a homegroup internally I don't get except that the machine would always be part of a group residential e.g. a laptop, as in my case, would be carrying a homegroup with it and not be able to jump on another residential group in a different location.

  What was causing me a lot of trouble has AVG Free.  Attention, the installation of AVG Free homegroup PCs cannot meet or is inconsistent at best.  My laptop would show the user accounts, but not the other homegroup PCs and both could indicate that there is no other available HG machine or sometimes invites you to create a homegroup.  It was a nightnare.

• problem connecting to TCP variables and shared help

  Hello

  I have a project (host and a device in real time) using variable static as well as TCP to send images over the network. I am familiar with the use of TCP in labview but never used TCP and shared variables in the same project before.

  I receive the error 63 off the open TCP connection. This only happens if an executable file is trained and deployed on the device in real time.

  Is there something to watch if the use shared variables and TCP?

• NETWORKING AND SHARING FILES IN WINDOWS 7

  As stated, I am putting in place on my simple file sharing network. Previously, it was only between two Macintosh computers, a Windows 7 machine and storage machine. Now, I want to add another laptop and PC - both running Windows 7 - to the network and connect to the storage machine, until then known as 'the server '.

  The laptop connect through wi - fi. The PC and Macintosh computers connect via ethernet. They are all on the same network. This network uses WPA2-PSK security. The parameters of sharing on all Windows PCs, including the server include:

  NETWORK DISCOVERY: WE

  FILE & PRINTER SHARING: WE

  PUBLIC FOLDERS SHARING: WE

  MEDIA STREAMING: WE

  FILE SHARING CONNECTIONS: 40/56 BITS

  SHARING PROTECTED BY WORD: OFF

  HOMEGROUP: USE ACCOUNTS USERS & PASSWORDS

  The same settings apply to public networks.

  In addition, every single player in all Windows computers have the following parameters:

  ADVANCES OF SHARING: SHARE THIS FOLDER

  USERS OF LIMIT: 20

  PERMISSIONS: EVERYONE

  TOTAL CONTROL: ALLOW

  CHANGE: ALLOW

  READ: ALLOW

  SECURITY: ADMINISTRATORS, AUTHENTICATED USERS + USER + SYSTEM

  TOTAL CONTROL: ALLOW

  EDIT: ALLOWS

  READ & EXECUTE: ALLOW

  CONTENTS OF THE FOLDER: ENABLE

  READ: ALLOW

  SPECIAL PERMISSIONS: HIDDEN

  However, I am not able to see some readers on some of the computers or encounter errors like this:

  WINDOWS CANNOT ACCESS \\SERVER\G

  YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED ACCESS TO \\SERVER\G. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR TO REQUEST ACCESS.

  
  When I click on "for more information, see Help and Support ', I am asked the following questions to which you will find listed answers:

  YOU HAVE NOT CREATED OR JOINED A WORKING GROUP
  I don't want to use the working groups.
  

  YOU DO NOT USE A HOMEGROUP, AND THE FOLDER OR PRINTER YOU'RE TRYING TO ACCESS HAS NOT BEEN SHARED
  I'm not interested by your nonsense whatever group, thank you.
  

  NETWORK DISCOVERY IS TURNED OFF
  No, it isn't.
  

  PASSWORD PROTECTED SHARING IS ENABLED
  No, it isn't!
  

  THE COMPUTERS ARE NOT IN THE SAME WORKGROUP
  They are not because I'm not interested in the use of working groups.
  

  YOUR COMPUTER DOES not UPDATE FOR YOUR ITINERARY R
  It's supposed to be a joke or some jerk programmer think actually it was useful to distance?

  In fact, when I try to create a homegroup of the server, I don't see is a 'Register' button and clicking on that joined a homegroup belonging to one of Windows laptops for a silly reason. There is NO setting to CREATE a homegroup. I am only able to join an existing homegroup.

  TL:DR

  All I want to do is freely share files between devices approved on my secure network. Gage rocket science, Microsoft introduced in Windows 7, I don't want no part of it.

  Where is the "DISABLE all BLOODY SECURITY AND SHARE THE GODDAMNED FILES"button in Windows 7?

  Hi Nicky,

  Apologize for the delay in response.

• My iCloud and shared calendars has stopped working in MS Outlook today.  They worked yesterday.  Now, I get the error message "cannot open this series of records.  The information store cannot be opened?  I tried the fix standard support.

  My iCloud and shared calendars has stopped working in MS Outlook today.  They worked yesterday.  Now, I get the error message "cannot open this series of records.  The information store cannot be opened?  I tried the fix standard support.

  Same thing here.  Looks like Windows did an automatic update during the night, and now nothing iCloud associated work (calendars, contacts, etc.)

  I also noticed that the error message: "could not load file or Assembly ' MOM." Implementation ' or one of its dependencies.  The system cannot find the specified file. "It started after restarting the Windows Update as well.  I imagine that the two are related in the same problem to iCloud.

• Can't see installed and shared printer

  I can't see my hp printer installed and shared on a new Lenovo A58e ThinkVantage Desktop PC with windows XP from ThinkPad running windows XP.

  I have set up working groups as well, appropriate manually and by the network installation wizard.

  I have a checked and made sure that the file and printer sharing are enabled in the network adapter properties page.

  I checked in the Toolbox of Lenovo and it says that the file and printer sharing is enabled, so the printer is shared also.

  I also disabled McAfee firewall and Windows Firewall.

  NOTE: I met a similar problem before with ThinkPad Laptops, when the file and printer sharing would not stay active in the properties of the device, found the problem being to think software, specific to 'Think access', the software kept turning off files and printers, sharing, so I allowed him by the profile of the software Manager, and all laptops could see file sharing and printer.  However I don't see any 'Think access' software, just the 'Lenovo' Toolbox

  Thanks for your time, everyone.

  go to the network properties and install the IPX/XPS/Net bios strictly only for printer sharing network card only.

• Cannot turn off or disable password protected sharing the network and sharing Center

  I'm trying to turn some pretty simple sharing of files between our windows PC (two portable minicomputers running under XP, a desk and a laptop running vista). File sharing functions between the XP computers. However, I am simply unable to influence the "password protected sharing setting" in the network and sharing Center. I check the option to turn it off and I get a click through UAC dialog window, the mouse cursor turns for a short time while as if windows is pretending to do something, but the password protected sharing setting is always on.

  I tried to disable Avira Antivir.

  I enabled the guest account and set its password to a string explicitly empty with net user guest «»

  svampi,
  This knowledge base article can be useful for you.  Although the problem that it is designed for the difficulty is not the same as yours, the underlying cause is the same.  There is an article to 'fix', which means that you can click the 'fix' in the article so that it automatically fixed for you online or you can follow the instructions to edit the registry yourself if you feel capable of doing that.  So check that out and see if it helps with your problem:

• Network and sharing Center shows not connected, but the computer is connected to the wireless network

  When I open the network and sharing Center, or hold my mouse pointer on the icon of internet connection in the bottom right of the taskbar, it shows that I'm not connected to a network. However, I know that I'm connected to the internet. My internet and e-mail work correctly. Also, when I click on the 'Connect to a network' option, find the list of available wireless networks, and it shows that I'm connected to my home network. How can I make Windows everywhere where I am connected to the internet, instead of recognizing only on the list of the networks without wire-available?

  Had exactly the same problem on Windows 7 (win7). Connected to the Internet but the status showing no connection and a red cross on the network icon. Problem has also caused problems to connect to Lync and Office365 along with VPN, which apparently uses the status to check whether the connection is available.

  Found the solution here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itpronetworking/thread/df17c593-e78f-4878-97b0-7569307934c5

  Apparently, certain permissions gets hurt in the database record and must be fixed using RegEdit. The solution is a step by step and likely to be resolved simply by removing a cache of file using RegEdit and potentially affecting certain permissions.

  B3PPE,

  See that article following (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833) if it can help you to manually replace the files that SFC could not fix, it also gives you measurements on log file filtering so that only unsuccessful repairs of SFC are listed. Please note that the best source for replacement files would be a sound installation of vista with the functions you want to work.

  I will add to check your hard disk for errors, as corruption SFC could be linked to it. For details, see check your drive for errors .

  Our final recommended option for the problem that you encounter will be a Vista repair install:

  <><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

  You can reinstall your copy of Vista while keeping your files, settings and programs by performing a repair install or a level facility.

  1. Insert the Windows installation disc in your computer's DVD or CD drive. You must start Windows installation while running your existing version of Windows.

  2. on the Install Windows page, click install now.

  3. on the get updates for installation page, we recommend getting the latest updates to help ensure a successful installation and to help protect your computer against security threats. You will need an Internet connection to get the installation updates.

  4. on the Type your product key for activation , we strongly recommend that you type your 25-character product key in order to avoid problems during activation.

  5. on the page Please read the terms of the license , if you accept the license terms, click I accept the terms of the license.

  6. to the which type of installation you want? page, click upgrade to begin the upgrade. You can see a compatibility report.

  7 follow the instructions.

  Note: If your installation disc doesn't include SP1, and you are updated, then you must uninstall it before proceeding with an update install. Start-> Control Panel-> programs-> see installed updates, then select Service Pack for Microsoft Windows and click on Uninstall.

  <><><><><><><><><><><><>

  It is always advisable to backup any and all important data before continuing with the major changes to your system. Please see: methods for backing up your files.
