• I want to home network Windows 7 64 bit PC and XP Pro 32 bit PC over a wireless network.

  I have problems to make the 64-bit machine to recognize the 32-bit computer.  I followed the advice help and support on 7 64-bit computer, but it just won't work.  They seem to see and recognize each other sometimes, but I can't share files between two PCs.  I have consulted with Microsoft Answers, but can not find clear guidance, I need a simple and clear through about what to do, and also what I shouldn't do.  I put them both in the same group of residential, but nothing work properly for me.  I am a + trained but never finished my N +, maybe that's the problem.  Any help will be warmly received.  Thanks Mark.

  Windows XP can't join a homegroup. Only Windows 7 machines can do. Remove the homegroup and set up a good old tested and rested WORKING group instead. If you find my answer helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful"! Thank you!

• home network, dropping the re-boot

  I got a home network (3 computers) running for several years without problem, but last week a power falier led to my main computer crashing.  The re - start a disc error analysis was made, there were a few problems, but windows (XP) has managed to repair these.  But now, whenever I restart I have no connection to the home network.  My internet works fine, but I can't see or share files with other computers.  It's pretty simple fix that, I have to just run the small network implemented the wizzard every time, (the parameters are all met beforehand).  I would also like to point out that my internet connection is fine, so the connection with the router and the outside world is OK, it's just that the home network is down.

• Can I use the CD to add my printer to the other computers on my home network?

  Just purchased and installed a HP LaserJetPro 400 M401dn to my home network. Now that it is installed and configured as the default printer for my laptop, will it use the CD to add this printer to my wife and daughter networks, too?

  We are all running Windows 7 on every laptop.

  Thank you

  Hey rhodesmk,

  I recommend to install the drivers of comprehensive features, either from the CD or a download, on all computers that you want to use the Laserjet Pro 400 with.  This will ensure that all the features with each PC you want to have connected with the printer.

  I hope this helps.

• How can I remove the computers in a home network, I created?

  Original title: leave the Working Group

  How can I remove the computers in a home network, I created? How can I remove a home network? I know it's easy with windows 7, but I can't understand for the life of me how do it with XP.

  If Yes, go to this computer, log in as administrator

  Click Start > right click on my computer > select Properties

  Click the button change

  Delete the name of your workgroup of the lower part of the window and in its place type 'WORKING group' which is the default setting.

• Windows 7 Home premium network problem, computers can access the internet, but they do not see each other on the network

  I was trying to set up a homegroup on my main computer, but on the second computer, I never had the opportunity to join the homegroup. I'm sure that I have everything set up properly, but I can't get the second computer to join.

  I have a switch that my internet runs and a cat cable goes to each computer. Each computer can access the internet without any problem, but none appear in other network list. They have the same name of working group, I just can't understand it. I use Windows Firewall.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Maybe this can help.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  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.html#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 .

• Is there an equivalent to Firefox Sync method that can be used to synchronize Firefox on three computers connected to the same home network?

  I would like to be able to sync settings between three computers on my home network without having to go on the internet and put everything on a remote server. Computers can already communicate with each other and share, then there should be an easy way to ensure that Firefox data sync would be also.

  Hello

  Please see this.

  Another way would be to do it manually by using another application, for example. SyncToy, creating the correct pairings between the data on the PC.

  Using SyncToy

  Firefox stores your personal data in a place known as the Firefox profile folder separate from its installation folder/files. The extensions folder Addons, although some addons may store additional data in the profile of top-level folder, extensions.ini and extensions.sqlite has the info of addons, places.sqlite holds the bookmarks and history, the prefs.js has Preferences, signons3.txt + signons.sqlite files are needed for the passwords and finally sessionstore.js for tabs.

• I can not connect computer vista laptop to my network home, but I can connect to other networks. Other computers can connect to my home network very well. This can be corrected?

  My laptop runs Vista and I've not had problems connecting to my home network wireless until a week ago or not.  Then, trying to connect, I see other available networks, but not my own.  When I try to connect manually, it says that the network already exists.  Other computers, macbooks, are able to connect to my home network without problem.  I am able to connect to a network on my laptop fine unsecured wireless.

  I could 'solve' the problem or get reconnected with a restoration of the system to an earlier date, but it only lasts a day or two.  I searched for another fix and tried many things, including to reset the router, remove my network, and then reinstall, etc, but can't seem to get this to work as if it were - automatic connection as the first network.

  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  You have rebooted the router and the pc at the same time?

  You run the IPCONFIG / all from a cmd prompt can and download a preview of the output to a file share services like rapidshare and put a link to it in your next post?

• computer Vista Home network is not visible from the XP computers

  I have a home network with 4 computers. Both run Windows XP, Windows Vista is running and
  It works in Windows 7. Each group can see all the others and can access shared files and printers
  with one exception. Vista computer is not visible from the XP computers. It is visible from
  the Windows 7 computer. I guess that there is a setting somewhere on the Vista machine
  That I need to change, but I'm not.

• I don't want to be on the home network

  I rent a room that I am allowed to use wireless Internet. However, there is a new roommate in the House that has set up a home network who understand me. I won't be on the home network. Is this possible? and how?

  I have laptop with Windows Vista, manufacturer - Hewlett-Packard. It's a laptop Compaq Presario F700, processor - AMD Turion (tm) 64 x 2 Mobile Technology TL-58 1.90 GB. I chose the Public network through the network and sharing Center.

  As I am on home network, I have to go through his computer. I saw that clearly on the map of connection through the network and sharing Center window. The path is the Internet of his computer, his computer to the device and Internet gateway device of Internet gateway on my computer. When it is off, the path is directly from the Internet to my computer.

  Based on the Help window, if I understand correctly, the only way is that it disable ICS (Internet Connection in), but he won't do that. He wouldn't even talk to me. It enabled ICS not to mention me and by this law introduced me to be in his home network. I want to just connect directly to the Internet as the way he did before he came to the House.

  Help, please.

• CAN´t find other computers on the home network Windows.

  I have a home network windows already defined with two desktop with Windows XP and a laptop with Windows 2000. The computers are connected to a router with ethernet cables and the lap top wireless (WiFi) to the same router. Now, I'm trying to connect a fourth computer (a desk top) with Windows Vista. It works fine to connect to Internet, but I can't reach the other computers on the network. On other computers, I can see a 'new', but I don't see the others of a "new". Can someone help me with the configuration of the computer "Vista"?  Thanks in advance.  / Thomas

  Hello
   
  To home network computers running different versions of Windows, we need to make sure that what follows.
  a. ensure that all computers are in the same workgroup.
  (b) the value of the private network location type.
  c. open ports in your firewall to allow file and printer sharing.
  d. turn on additional file and printer sharing options.
  e. consider using password protected sharing.
  5 using the network card.
   
  The NIC in the network and sharing Center is a graphical view of the computers and devices on your network, showing how they are connected and including problem areas. A computer running Windows XP can be detected and appear on the network map, you may need to install the Protocol Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) on this computer.
   
  To install LLTD, visit the following link and download: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120
