    How to share files and look at these different systems?

    1 person needs an answer

    You can share files between all of these systems. It is difficult for me to what you wrote if you want to share files with Windows 7 in OS X machine, but I have included this information in case you do. Because Vista is installed in training Camp, I have only included Win7 OS X sharing files and not Vista-OS X sharing files since you can't use both at the same time.

    On Windows

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    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.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. 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) in Vista, turn on password protected sharing. 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. 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

    Create accounts of users and corresponding 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:

    Vista/Win7 - ORB start > Search > 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).

    On OS X

    On OS X, make sure you have checked in the file sharing system preferences > sharing. Click the Options button, and then select "share files and folders using SMB." Add the shared directories as you wish.

    You must create accounts/passwords user on the Mac and Windows 7. 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.

    OS X Firewall is done in System Preferences > Security. Click the lock to make changes, and then click the Advanced button to ensure that SMB sharing is allowed. If you set up in the share pod, it will be.

  • Windows Vista and the problems that are

    I'm running Office 2007 Pro in Vista and my programs are useless because of the uniform crashing. I tried to work and it also crashes. Google Earth will crash occasionally. I try running updates on the Microsoft site and it shows 22 update, but none of them don't actaully charge. I ran scans for viruses, but none appear. Help! I think the upgrade to windows 7, but I don't know if that will solve my problem. Why Microsoft does become a free ride with all problems have their software.

  • Windows Vista and Microsoft Scan 8.0 trend are compatible with each other?

    Hello

    I get an error after installing trend Microsoft Scan 8.0. Status is coming as offline in the Task Manager. When I check the Windows Security Center, I see that there is a message that says:

    "trend microsoft officescan is on and but notes its status as Windows Security Center in a format that is no longer supported.

    An idea on what can do to eliminate this?

    You get this message because Officescan 8.0 (which is quite old. 10.5 is the current version) uses an obsolete method to communicate with the Security Center. OfficeScan should continue to work, so you can always get the updates of definition.

  • Can't unzip the files using the Windows Vista option extract all

    I tried to unzip the files, I have downloaded from the Web site by using the context menu "extract all... "on the file.  I have a Board error saying that the compressed (zipped) folder is empty.  If I try a double click on the file, I get the message that the zip file is not valid.  This has happened to every zip file I tried to unpack so far.  The only files I can unpack so far are those I zipped myself using the context menu "send to folder of Compssed of-->" of Windows Vista.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Eddie Hersh,.

    Thanks for choosing the Windows Vista Forum.

    1 how long have you had this problem?

    2. If it works well before?

    Make sure that the download of the file is not corrupted.

    You can perform the steps in the link below and check if it works.

    1. click on start, and then type regedit in start search and press ENTER.

    2. navigate to the following registry branch:

    NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]

    3. delete the subkey named UserChoice.

    4. exit the registry editor.

This also occurs when you download the software, which makes it difficult, because the file is not on the pc yet. All solutions?

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.
