Homegroup is very slow. Loading files from another computer is very long and I can't watch movies on the wireless using the homegroup.

Group residential slow and other problems with it

Hello!

I have 3 Windows 7 PC-s (office #1, #2 desktop and laptop). I created HomeGroup and join all computers, so I can access the files on each of them. But my problem is the following: homegroup is very slow. Loading files from another computer is very long and I can't watch movies on the wireless using homegroup, because it is slow and every two seconds of loading film. And also needed a few minutes to open the pictures (more than 10 GB in all folders) to a folder in the other PC. Why is this work so slow? I don't think there is a problem with slow wireless router, because I can replace my old Linksys WRT54GL Linksys E4200, which is able to transfer video HD 3D such as Linksys provide. What should I do to fix this? Should I change all the settings in Windows, perhaps in the router...?
And why my laptop is not always visible to the other PC to homegroup? He see two others and two other sees, but they are not portable. This happens sometimes. But then I still share with homegroup libraries to my laptop and there still other computers see it and all shared libraries. Where is the problem? I also try to change the HomeGroup services automatically, but this does not solve the problem.
If I forgot something to write, or you need more information, do not hesitate to ask.
I'd appreciate any help really.

Hello

Manually check manufacturers sites WiFi because pilots offered through
Updates Windows will most often not be later (MS is far behind certifying)
drivers and many manufacturers do not quickly submit newer versions or not at all). See
Manual driver update of the methods below.

The question could be WiFi in fact however try to device (hardware)
update the driver first.

What antivirus/security is used? Some of those who will cause problems with the
Homegroup. Since it happens more often on a single computer that on there
a check.

From this link:

Homegroup: frequently asked questions (also shows how delete and remove homegroup)
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/HomeGroup-frequently-asked-questions

"Only people who belong to the homegroup can see shared libraries. You can also share libraries or files and individual folders with specific people in your homegroup, rather than share them with everyone. For more information, see libraries with your homegroup sharing and keep files and folders to be shared with a specific residential group. »

Share files with anyone
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/share-files-with-someone

==================

How to upgrade manually the drivers:

Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
found)
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.
(Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as windows
7 love the updated drivers.

I hope this helps.

    You have configured by file/printer between two machines share? If this is not the case, this is your next step.

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, turning on window file sharing and printer as the above will take care of that for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

    D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Password required when trying to map a network drive or access the files from another computer

    I'm trying to set up a home network with a computer that is used as a file server.  I have computers successfully connected in a unique working group and that you can see all of the computers in my 'network', but whenever I try to access another computer or map a drive, I wonder a user name and password.  How can I remove this requirement or solve this problem?

    Hi Kalomar,

    If your computer is on a workgroup, you have the ability to turn password protection on or off. Disable password protected sharing on the computer that is connected and check if you are always prompted for a password.

    1. open the network and sharing Center by clicking theStart button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.

    ·        Click the arrow next topassword protected sharing, and then click turn off password protected sharing

    2. click onapply.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/sharing-files-with-the-public-folder

    Note: If you change the password on one computer, you will need to change it on the other computer as well, otherwise you will again be asked a password.

    I hope this helps.

  • Access denied when you access files from another computer created virtual hard disk

    Last week I decided to try to save my laptop XP using internal system Disk2VHD and saved the files on my new computer (64-bit) Windows 7 Pro.

    Two days ago I tried to boot up the laptop and it failed due to no power. Dead battery and does not work when it is connected. I think that the power connector and the motherboard have parted ways.
    Tonight, I tried to mount the virtual drive on Windows 7 system using the disk management to see if I could recover my files.
    I can mount the virtual hard drive, but when I navigate to certain directories, as one of the user profile directories, I'm greeted by the error message:
    [Window title]
    Admin
    [Main instruction]
    You don't have permission to access this folder.
    [Content]
    Click on continue to get permanent access to this folder.
    [Continue] [Cancel]
    The files I need are those of My Documents, but I can't access it.
    Is there a way to change the owner of the files or otherwise access? I have several years of financial information I need.

  • How to add user from another computer as a Local user for file sharing permissions

    Hello, I'll put up for two computers to share files on a network.

    I just need to figure out how to add a user from another computer as a local user, I can change its permissions of file sharing.

    Here's where I'm stuck:

    I am trying to add a new user, but:

    How can I add a user somewhere else on my network to this list?

    Sure thing. You can add a list in the registry with the name of the account that you want to hide from the login screen.  This site explains how: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/6222/windows-7-vista-xp-hide-user-account-from-welcome-screen-login-screen/

  • I have different bookmarks I want to keep on each computer, synchronization will delete the bookmarks on a single computer and replace the bookmarks from another computer in their place

    I have not yet used sync, but I sense it's going to be a problem if I do. I have different bookmarks I want to keep it on each computer. Sync will delete the bookmarks on a single computer and replace the bookmarks from another computer in their place? So I think that will erase the bookmarks on the second computer you configured to synchronize. Is there a way to merge bookmarks on every computer in the library of a bookmark that contains all bookmarks on both computers, so I'm not all bookmarks in sync?

    Just to be clear, this is something that we have commented several times in the forum, Firefox Sync adds everything that is already in the device for the account and pushes this info for the rest of the devices.

    So if you have 2 computers with data X and the other with the data from there, once you set up synchronization in both computers you will have X + Y at the same time.

    I hope that clarifies the doubts...

  • getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() return anything when you load content from another domain

    I created a movie that load various media using loadMovie(), then in many cases performs actions on the newly loaded MCs once loading is completed. I rely on getBytesLoaded and getBytesTotal to know when to perform these actions.

    This works very well when the content is on the same server as the film, but I also need to load content from another domain and this is where it falls apart. The media actually does very well in the target MCs, but never make the functions that need to be running when the loading is complete. The problem is that getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() both return nothing when the content is loaded from another domain.

    I'm stuck with loadMovie and getBytesLoaded/getBytesTotal as this film must be published for Flash Player 6, but I actually tried to use loadClip() and onLoadInit() and I get the same problem - onLoadInit() never works.

    Another weird thing is that test by displaying a flash preview is not displayed this problem - the content of fines and getBytesLoaded and getBytesTotal loads two values to return as expected. It's only when I publish the film and display in a browser I have this problem.

    Where I'm going wrong?

    Thank you!

    in your external SWF on the other server, type the following in the first picture...

    Code:

    System.security.allowDomain (_parent._url);

    If you load your swf file into a movieclip with instance name mcImage and then do

    Code:

    System.security.allowDomain (mcImage._url);

  • Copy a file from one computer to another

    Hi all

    I am trying to copy a file from a computer (where I program CVI) to another computer on the same network. How do I do? Can I use library functions plug supplied by C or y at - it of the other libraries available in labwindows?

    Thank you

    CopyFile () in the library of the utility accepts UNC paths, so you can do something like this:

    CopyFile ("MyFile.txt", "\\\remotePC\\remoteFolder\\myfile.txt");

    Avoid conflicts between this function and the corresponding Windows API function with the same name: read the online help for explanations.

    Hello ITGIRL17,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Configure your task under your administrator account.
    Then go to the folder with the batch file and ADD on control for the folder administrator permissions and each of the files in batches.
    If the batch files write data, then the target for the task should ALSO have all explicit permissions.
    Now try to run the Task Scheduler task.

    Also check the information from the following link and look specifically at Brian Vandemark Sommaire steps on 2 September.

  • Develooping app for Windows Store - writing and reading file: file came from another computer

    I am developing an app Store Windows (XAML, c#) and I am writing a file to the user Documents folder.  When writing is complete, the file is marked as «this file came from another computer and can be blocked to protect the computer»  Of course, this isn't what I want - the file did not come from another computer.  Subsequent attempts to read the file in the same application fail unless I have use Windows Explorer to unlock the file.
