I am not able to access a shared printer from another computer on my network. How to solve this?
Recently, I replaced my NETGEAR wired router with a NETGEAR WNDR3300 Wireless Gateway. While I am able to share internet access both wired and wireless, on my PC I have shared my printer and several directories. My wife's PC does not show my PC in the network, but if I ping my PC against hers, it solves the IP address, but the ping times out in vain. This network allows to work with the original router. I show PC my wife on the network on my PC. Since my PC can not be seen on his PC, I can't add the printer shared on his PC. How to solve this?
Configure the firewall on each computer to trust the local network and allow the sharing of files and printer.
More than one firewall running is likely to cause problems. Select McAfee or Windows Firewall and disable it.
I suspect that McAfee needs to be configured to approve the new router network. I don't know what version of what McAfee product, you have, but here's how to do it on the program McAfee Security Center provided by Comcast:
1 double-click on the Red M in the system tray.
2. click on Internet & network .
3. click on Configure .
4. by firewall protection is enabled , click Advanced .
5. click on networks .
6. If your router network does not trust , click Network, click on edit and select Trusted then in the menu.
You can also get help in forums Community of McAfee .

I'm not able to add a shared printer on a Windows XP client computer.
original title: network printers
I'm not able to add a shared printer on a Windows XP client. One, printers
Canon MP830 and an Okidata 320 are installed locally on a Windows 2003 Print
Server. Both are on the same domain. I also have Windows XP, 7, Vista and Linux
machines on the same network. They are all able to print. The only one who does
not working is a Windows XP client. This machine has also win 7, Vista installed
on different hard drives. they are able to print to shared printers. I have
cammot access to a printer by using the UNC path. I can see the shared
printers in Favorites network but I can not connect. If I use the add printer
Wizard to add a network printer, the printer appear in the book: but
Yet once, they will not connect the error message I get is:
"Unable to add the printer connection. Either the typed wsa printer name
incorrctly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server. »
I checked the permissions for the priners and I am logged in as one
administrator when I try to add the printer. I also checked the group policy and
everything seems to be oK. I also deleted and added the printer to the
Server, that I managed to install them as local printers on the affected XP machine
using the \\server_name\printer_share_name port. The priner name and the
share name are the same for each printer. They have all worked last week that
network printers. I'm curious to know what is causing this weird behavior. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Have a read of the link above re Vista file and printer sharing.
Permissions/Share info is there as well.
If you use Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro or Kaspersky I.S., make that file and printer sharing is enabled in THE Firewall (or LAN enabled, depending on how their Exceptions are formulated in their firewall)
See you soon.

When you reply to a post in a salon political discussion of yahoo, I suddenly get the message... you have been disconnected from the chat because you have accessed YAHOO! MESSENGER from another computer or device. I did not as far as I know? Thank you, Charles
Hello
The message "you have disconnected because you access Yahoo! Messenger from another computer or device." appears when you try to connect twice with the same Yahoo! ID. Someone knows your password and he at the same time connecting with you or you have Yahoo Multi Messenger and accidentally logging in twice. One solution is to change your Yahoo! password or not to use Yahoo Multi Messenger with the same ID.
Good luck!

I want to be able to access one another e-mail account is set up as a POP account on TB, but I don't want to change the way the other e-mail account is configured. My colleague and I often need to access each others emails. Is it simply a matter of adding the e-mail account on my computer as a POP, without moving his e-mails? Or it would require to change his account to IMAP? When I created his account of TB, I did a POP so there is no messages on the server at the moment. What I don't want, it's for his e-mails from his computer to mine.
(He's new to TB and making crazy him - I already did that when I went it to Outlook)Thank you
Is it simply a matter of adding the e-mail account on my computer as a POP
Yes. And don't forget to check the option to leave messages on the server before accessing the account.
That said, I think it's a very bad idea to share an account like this.
Note that this will give you access to on behalf of your colleague.
In addition you do not store only your own messages on your computer, but also messages of all your colleague.
The same is true for him if he does the same thing. -

Cannot copy of my printer, but not able to print from my computer to test the page,
I have a photosmart printer 310a all-in-one. I run on windows 7 64 bit using a dell xps desktop computer. I used the hp doctor capable of printing the test page with accuracy but cannot print from my computer. Wireless network works fine. I check connectivity. According to the solutions of hp, the printer is online and working properly, but when I try to print it is unable to do.
Thank you for your help. I decide to try another computer to see if it is printed. He did it wasn't the hp printer that was causing the problem. It was the new version of mcafee on my desktop that is causing the problem. Also, I disabled mcafee found out that I was able to print without difficulty. I hope this helps other people with the problem. I tried to fix my mcafee but decide to go with another company for the antivirus and spyware

This means that apex works very well...
What is the IP address of your workstation machine that has installed APEX?
Get the ip address and replace it with this address:http://server: 8080/apex-online http://192.102.10.12:8080 / apex [192.102.10.12 = installed APEX machine IP]
If it works on the server and then use same URL on other machines...
