I just noticed a computer not recognized on my network

I am running Windows 7 and in the page "Network and sharing Center", I see another computer listed below mine with a name that I dn't recognize.  I can't have access to it but have no idea where he came suddenly-is - someone who had access to my computer?  And if so, how do I get rid of him?

Or is it something normal that I've just not noticed before?

You have a wireless router?

When I got to my computer windows 8 my headset worked perfectly. now when I plug in my headphones the sound just continues out of my laptop speakers.

  • How can I remove a computer not recognized in my homegroup?

    There are three computers in our House, and a fourth is resumed, a name that I do not recognize. It seems that the only way to remove a computer from homegroup is through this computer, which obviously I can't do, is there another way?

    Hello

    I suggest delete and join the homegroup and check if that helps. If everyone leaves the homegroup, it doesn't exist. For more information, see leave a homegroup.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 most not recognized on the network

    I have a Qwest DSL Modem/router that has 4 ports on the back.  I use 1 Port on the DSL Modem/Router to conntect to my NetGear router.  I use 2 ports on the router/DSL Modem to connect my printer HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus.  I use 3 Port on the DSL Modem/Router to connect my Brother MFC-7360N printer.  I do not use 4 Port of Modem/router DSL.

    My NetGear router is used to connect all cable (5) computer in the House.

    I was able to successfully install the software from the Brother printer on all computers and can print on the brother of one of the desktop printer.

    I have the HP printer software installed on all computers, but on WIN XP desktop pc I can not detect the printer on the network.  During the installation process, the software detects that the HP printer and the WIN XP pc are connected to two different routers (DSL Modem/Router is detected as a router by WIN XP pc).  On the another desktop running WIN8 or WIN7, it has no problem detection even if the printer is connected to the DSL Modem/Router, while the PC is connected to the NetGear router.

    Someone at - it some knowledge that why I'm having this problem.  The problem seems to be with the WIN XP pc and not the pc WIN7 or WIN8.

    You run a double NAT scenario, is not good.  Simple correction, switch the gateway (modem/router) in Bridge mode, which disables the functions of router and do just a modem.  Now, connect the Netgear router to the bridge and this have to manage all of your Wi-wired connections and.

  • HP Deskjet 3052 has not recognized on my network

    Several times, I am not able to send documents on my HP 3052 a wireless Deskjet printer.

I spent time online with the support of 'pay' Dlink with no result and did not want to continue to pay for nothing. Can someone give me some advice on what I can do to keep my printer on my network? Please let me know if I need to provide more information. Would be - what my router goes wrong? I have no idea and really need help as this has been hard for some time now and is very frustrating.

    What version of Windows you have, including the service pack?  I will assume that you have little variety of Windows 7, as you have posted in a forum of Win 7.

    I guess you want to print directly (wireless) to the printer instead of use the ePrint feature.

    You never turn off the printer or leave you it on all the time?

    I suspect that what is happening is that the printer receives a new IP address assigned by your router.  This can easily happen if you turn the printer off and also a number of other devices on the network (for example, your laptop) are not always present on the network...  The diagnosis and the solution to this problem are relatively easy (it takes just a lot of words to describe them)

    Diagnosis
    Using the controls on the front panel of the printer, print a Network Setup page:

    1. press the button to display the wireless wireless.
    2. in the wireless Menu, select print reports.
    3. in the menu printing reports, select Configuration

    Take note of the printer IP address, subnet mask and default gateway on the Network Setup page

    On a computer on which you installed the printer go to devices and printers
    Right-click on the icon for the HP 3052 has, and then select properties from the printer (NOT the same as 'Printer Preferences' or 'Properties')
    Select the "Ports" tab
    By ensuring NOT to click inside the list of ports, use the slider to the right of the list so that you can see the line highlighted and verified which indicates the port used for this printer.
    If necessary, click and drag on the vertical line that is low in between "Port" and "Description" header, so that you can see the complete port identification.
    Make a note of the port.
    For now, click Cancel to exit the properties of the printer.

    If the port shown on the network configuration page and the port specified in the printer properties dialog box are different, that's your problem.

    Solution (assuming that the wrong port is the problem)

    Printers and other similar devices on a network must always be assigned a static (fixed) IP address so that users of these devices (for example, computers connected to the network) can find them.

    Open a browser on a computer connected to your network and enter the IP address of the printer that was shown on the network configuration page.
    You must be connected to the configuration utility based on the web of the printer.  Follow the instructions in the support page this HP to set a static IP address for the printer.

    You can see the range of IP addresses used by your DLink DGL4500 by entering its web-based configuration utility (in your browser, go to 192.168.0.1) and look at the tab "Basis" of the network (see page 30 of the Manual).  It seems that by default the router is to assign addresses in the range 192.168.0.100 through 192.168.0.199.  Use an address outside this range for your printer for example, 192.168.0.25 or 192.168.0.250.  It is ESSENTIAL that the first 3 "bytes" of the IP address remain the same (i.e. 192.168.0).  The only part of the IP address you should change is the last "byte".

    You will need execute the steps described in the next paragraph on EACH computer you want to use to print to this printer.

    In some printer software, HP seems to have included a utility named "Update"IP address"(see directions link above HP).  I'm not familiar with this utility, but his name, if you have it and run, you should then be able to print.  If you don't have the utility, you must manually update the IP address that Windows uses for your printer.  Do so you by going into the "Ports" tab as described above and then clicking on the button 'configure the Port '.  On the next screen, enter the new static IP address that you assigned to the printer and OK your way out.

  • Office jet pro 8600 connect with router but not recognized on the network

    I just installed new router e1200 lonksys. JO HP 8600 pro connects with the router, but the printer cannot see 8600. IP 169.254.223.37 on said install ip is the placeholder and printer not connected. have restarted once 1000 and tried to reconnect. New router has OMP and thrust of 3 seconds the button on the router. Also failed to connect on the router definition reviews

    8600 worked fine on the old router. Problem started when I connected the router after that cable modem connected then modem vonage. Previous setting was cable - vonanage and wireless router - all worked well then.

    Also downloaded 8600 new complete software after losing the Wi - Fi connection - please help!

    If the Ethernet cable is plugged into the printer, it will disable the wireless radio.

    If this is not the case in the network menu, network by default.  Then, in the same network menu, run the Wireless Setup Wizard.

    If this does not work, we will come on your new router a bit.

  • Need 32-bit win7 driver for HP deskjet 950C for computer not connected to the network

    I can't find a way to load the driver for a 950C on a 32-bit computer Win7 HPDeskjet has NO internet access and no other network connection.  [Why is this so isolated computer?-this product is a Win7-Embedded-based instrument not designed for access to the network]

    The answers I found to this need internet access or a network solution.

    Can I get the files from the driver on a USB stick and install it?

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    -Tony H.

    This can be done, it is a bit involved.  You can download the driver site catalog update from Microsoft here:

    http://catalog.update.Microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=DeskJet%20950c

    You should not use IE to your browser, other browsers are not supported on the catalog site.  Is the file that you want to a 32-bit system with a size of 11.4 MB.  (11.6 MB file is for x 64 systems and 13.9 MB system is for Server IA64 systems.)  Once the file has been downloaded, open a DOS command prompt and change directory to the location where the file was downloaded.  Then insert your USB key (I'll assume it's the X: drive in what follows) and in the BACK of the box type the following:

    Expand * .cab-F: * x:\

    This will extract the files and develop on your X: drive.  You can then take the USB drive to your computer and click Start, devices and printers, add a printer, have a disk and point to the INF on drive X:.

    Hi Karen,.

    -What version of Windows is installed on the computer?

    -What antivirus/firewall software you have installed on the computer?

    The document from HP concerning "printer does not maintain the wireless connection.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&LC=en&DLC=en&docName=c02817031#N80

    You have tried most the steps mentioned in the document, but please try once more.

    Additionally, make sure that you disable the antivirus and firewall programs just to make sure that these programs do not block the detected printer.

    Note: You must enable the /firewall antivirus as soon as you've done troubleshooting. If this is not the case, your computer will be vulnerable to viruses.

    Let us know if the steps of troubleshooting mentioned in the link will help.

  • Sansa 8 GB Clip not recognized in my computer...

    OK so I just got this thing today and I plugged it to my computer to recharge before I did something to it. About 6 hours later I checked it and it was not fully charged, but I decided to check a few things anyway. I clicked on "My Computer" and it was not recognized here. So I tried all my usb ports and it was a no go too. Then I had my husband try it with his computer and he was not recognized in 'My Computer' but it is recognized in Device Manager. So what don't understand me?

  • Constant pop up of the notice that says "USB device not recognized" after the device has been disconnected

    Trying to connect a Sony W760 to PC Suite and receive the notification as the "peripheral USB is not recognized. Clicked on the indications of alert and monitoring. The device is not installed. Computer restarted, but the alert keeps popping up every 10 to 15 seconds. How to stop?

Nothing on the screen noted that it is there. The Sony site, under the heading troubleshooting USB and I saw it mentioned to disable McAfee. Became curious and went to control panel > programs and features looking around and found the Norton. Uninstalled, downloaded programs from Sony, install and everything works fine.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
