Impossible to activate permanent "network discovery and file sharing" in advanced sharing without turning windows firewall at the wide service.
Environment:
I have a workgroup Windows 8 pro PC with all updates from Windows update. The PC is connected via WiFi (home) to a router (the same thing happens if I am connected to the router directly via RJ45). It's my "private network (NAT). I have the Windows Firewall is enabled in its default configuration. I use "Windows Defender" as my protection\firewall of virus software. "When I go to: change options for sharing different network profiles" under advanced sharing options. I try to turn on file sharing and network discovery in the private profile. It shows that "the private sector is the current profile. The radio button lights. However, when I go to the file Explorer / network I got the message ' network discovery and file sharing are turned off. " The network computers and devices are not visible. Click here to change... " I click to change, however when I click to change it keeps returning and gives me the same message. I then go in ""network control and Internet\Network and sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings " and the option buttons in private profile for the network discovery and file sharing are turned off."
If I turn off the Windows Firewall. Everything works. I need to open a hole in the windows firewall for 2 applications was discovered and network file sharing. I opened rather not just blindly ports. However, if this is the only solution, what ports do I need open.
Hi all
I have exactly the same problem. (and I'm not the only one. - There are many!) The problem does not lie with the Windows Firewall. If I turn it off, discovery network and file sharing is turned on-tour he turn it back on and its all disabled subsequently and the rest of the way. I've been round and round the forums of the world looking for a solution but still find a definitive answer. Can certain software engineering in Microsoft Please arrive at the correct answer.
Thank you very much
PT.

I'm uncomfortable with Miss having a firewall work on my computer. How to configure my Win 7 machine windows firewall to allow communications with my homegroup? I tried to restore the default values. This did not allow the communication. I tried to find the homegroup settings in the advanced settings of the windows firewall. No luck there.
What should I do to configure my windows firewall to allow network discovery and file sharing of printers and media streaming and sharing?
Hi stephanie,.
Thanks for joining us out on Microsoft Community Forums.
Looks like the Windows firewall prevents the discovery network, files and printers, sharing, public sharing of files and streaming media. We will analyze and identify the cause of the problem.
You have a third-party antivirus installed on the computer program?
Method 1:
To turn on network discovery
1. Open advanced sharing settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type network, click Network and sharing Center, and then, in the left pane, click on change settings for sharing advanced.
2. click on the chevron to expand the current network profile.
3. click turn on network discovery and then click on save changes. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide
confirmation.The article below explains all about the network discovery:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/enable-or-disable-network-discoveryIf any of these responses not solve the issue, let us then run the sfc scan and check if any file system is corrupt. I also recommend to perform a clean boot in order to find the root cause of the problem.
Method 2:
Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
a. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
b. type the following command and press ENTER:
sfc/scannowThe sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

Packed HARD drive
If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer? How the product key is affected? He still believes that I am still on the old HDD?If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer? How the product key is affected?

Yes.
Not at all.

If you have Windows 7 with an OEM license agreement (it came pre-installed on the computer is the most likely scenario for this, but you can buy OEM copies so) or you have a license to retail (upgrade or full version) - the way your question is worded is very specific - you * can * install Windows 7 costs/clean on this same system as much as you wish. A new hard drive won't stop you activation - well that at some point, you need to activate by phone, as opposed to over the Internet.
Now - if the motherboard is replaced and it's licensed OEM and replacement was not that of the OEM that probably set up your computer... Then you have a problem.
Unless you happen to have a license of Windows 7 retail sales, so it is not related to the computer (motherboard).

File sharing
Hello
Your PC still has wireless capability? If it's a laptop he probably does. If it's an office that is probably not.
If it's is a laptop a switch to activate? Consult the help files for your PC or visit the manufacturer's Web site.

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)
Read the information above.
See you soon.

Remote Desktop connection and file sharing
Hello, I have a technical question about file sharing.
I use a remote desktop connection to connect to the server of the company. We are currently between the two groups of IT services (last guy retired, he will be missed!) In any case, I need to backup my desktop files locally and have 4 or 5 of these local desktop file files saved as a backup on the server. I want to just my files desktop back mount easily on the server. And I don't know how / what to ask to do this. I just need to know what to ask.
I'm having problems:
1. I don't know how to configure a file to save its content on and through a secure server.
2. There are two types of files that I am trying to backup my office. The details are below.
2. the first type of files are simple files of customer data, PDF files, word files, files is excellent. Thus, some records are filled with the updated forms and these files constantly increasing in number and size of the file. A simple example of this type would be a Bill. File grows in size and file number every week because the new files are always being added.
2B. I can't accurately describe the second type of file. We use a program called TFP - when you open the program you load the specific customer file in a drop-down box. Whenever you open the customer specific AMTS program saves any changes you made to this file and updates the customer file with a new date and then transfers the file from the client to a file from archive in C: drive. Basically, I want to save this file on the server of the company.
3. can we make us safe so that data gets only shared a way? I don't want people on the server to change my desktop files.
Feel free to ask any questions. Thank you in advance.

Windows XP Fatal Sys "c000021a" error and file sharing problems
I have a Windows XP pc which has received the following during startup, error message "c000021a... system fatal error of ocx000034 w/status" and that followed several instructions troubleshooting with no resolution. Given that the pc does not start, I wanted to first of all, remove the hard drive in order to try to save the data to another media, before I try to reinstall the OS from the XP installation disk. Unfortunately I can't access the files due to permissions/access errors and ask for any recommendations. I am a novice not necessarily w/computers, but willing to try and learn something new... without spending $ to a service technician.
This isn't a good idea for troubleshooting and one that tells you to go back to school XP.
Are you able to get into the Recovery Console?
What means the error usually is that somehow the file c:\windows\system32\winlogon.exe has developed missing. This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware unspecified program examined the file a threat and quarantined (effectively removed) it.
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
If you can get into the Recovery Console, there are copies of the file of winlogon.exe in other places on your system, then here are the commands that I ran the RC to see if you can replace the file:
Copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\winlogon.exe c:\windows\system32
or
Copy c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386\winlogon.exe c:\windows\system32
Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file and then you should see a
message 1 file (s) has been copied.Remove the CD and on the RC line, enter 'Quit' and the system will restart.
P.S. in the future, never shorten the error messages see you. There is a lot of error message that are similar, so try not points of suspension (...), text, numbers, etc. or you might get a response that says «Try...» "and it will help you!
