Hello

Configure all of the computers to share files and you have a network Lcall.

Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should 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#trusted

Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • How can I set up my new Officejet Pro 8600 more printing on paper photo 4 x 6?

    How can I set up my new Officejet Pro 8600 more printing on paper photo 4 x 6?  I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit.

    It's strange.  Looks like you have a second paper tray and put it to the default tray.  The second paper tray only supports the types of paper that show on your list.  It's strange because unless you have purchased a second tray paper, plus model has one.  Does only the high-end model.  Other than that, only certain types of media can be duplex, so if you have double-sided printing, it can limit the selection.  I'll watch what else could be the cause and get back to you.

  • How can I poster print using my officejet pro 8600plus? My 8500 had this feature.

    How can I poster print using my officejet pro 8600plus? My 8500 had this feature.

    Yes, the Officejet 8500 driver works at full capacity on the Officejet 8600.

    You do not remove port 8600, you just right-click on the Officejet 8600, select properties from the Printer Ports and simply find what port the 8600 uses.  After writing this down, click Cancel to quit this game.  I suggest that you let the Officejet 8600 driver installed, you can install the version with the Officejet 8500 driver and simply select the printer you want to print time.

  • How can I get my workgroup computers to communicate as they should?

    Okay, Microsoft: you have left me speechless. I have fiddled with each permission, changed every setting, disabled my firewall and configure my workgroup again from scratch, and nothing worked: I can't still gives me permission to access my computer from another of my own computers.

    All computers are in the same workgroup.

    File and printer sharing is enabled.

    All computers are connected through the same router.

    There is no password on all computers.

    1 computer is Windows 7; the rest is Windows XP.

    Windoxs XP computers all others see in detail, and I can access all the files and disks on any computer from any other computer.  Windows 7 computer can see and access to all drives and folders on all the XP computers.

    However, the XP computers can access the public folders on the Windows 7 computer. I can see, but not access, the external hard drive, where all the important files are stored - which means the new computer is basically non-functional for my purposes of home networking. I need to be able to open any file on any drive on any computer from any other computer.

    I set permissions for "Everybody", but that seems only to mean "everyone who uses the computer to Windows 7." This does not mean "everybody" with access to my home network/workgroup - that would be just me.

    Windows 7 Home Premium only inherently crippled, or is it some goofy 'innovation', which was added to Windows 7 just to make my life more difficult?

    Why not sharing in Windows 7 have the same elegance, simplicity, comprehensibility and functionality in Windows XP? The Public folder is stupid and useless for the most part, I can't even make drag a shortcut to the external hard drive in it and make it work. It is less functional that the folder "shared files" olde in XP I've ever had bothered with.

    Which setting I'm missing? What should I do to set up my Windows 7 computer so that my other computers can read all files and records?

    This has been a problem of headache inducing and terribly frustrating. Having to physically come and go between the averages of computers I had to cram another workstation in space limited in my office at home, just to have easy access to the Windows 7 computer. Networking of its own computers should be the easiest thing an end user made, not one who transforms his gray hair and she reduced to tears and nervous breakdown. Why he has so difficult in Windows 7?

    And more specifically, what should I do to make it work properly?

    I finally understood what do share my external hard drive from Windows 7. I came across it completely by accident; I have not saw that he documented in any places OI have sought help.

    What I had to do was:

    1. unshare the drive.

    2. create a main file on the disk (I called mine X Drive).

    3 share the new X Drive folder with everyone, give full permission to read-write.

    4. turn on the external hard drive on this issue.

    The drive itself, still does not appear on the network. But is the shared folder that I created, and that's all I need.

    Now, my question is why it had to be so hard to find this information! Why is not it's published somewhere in bold: If you want to share all the folders and files on this disk, follow these steps: (see above 1,2,3,4)

    There must be 1 million users out there trying to figure this! How can I tell all?
