• The computers on the LAN has disappeared from the Explorer on Win7 machine... other devices always there

  Small inter-office network with 7 machines, no server. Two other XP, WIN7 machines. All have already appeared on my workstation running WIN7-65. Today, I noticed that only the share on my workstation presents in the in Windows Explorer. Printers, scanner, fax, always there.

  I can connect through ftp, http and e-mail address of the computer that holds these programs and can ping all the machines successfully. But mounted network drives does not connect and, as I said, none of the other computers show in Explorer.

  I had problems with Windows Virtual PC - would install not the integration features. So I deleted and reinstalled. Then it loads the integration... features for a few days... now won't again. I also installed VMware with XP virtual PC. I disabled virtual machine network maps to see if there was any change. No change.

  I don't know when the computers on the LAN disappeared, because I had no reason to seek. I discovered that they were gone when a backup program could not set up a share on one of them.

  Anyone has any ideas, what can happen?

  Hello

  I suggest that you enable network discovery. Click on start-> Control Panel-> network and sharing Center, click on change settings for sharing advanced. Activate the option.

  If the problem persists, try to access another computer by entering \\computername in the box to start the search. Let us know if it works properly

  See you soon,.

• Why can I see my other computers on the same LAN after typing netstat b in same cmd if I didn't make any connection?

  Why can I see my other computers on the same LAN after typing netstat b in same cmd if I didn't make any connection?  owner of 192.168.1.104:50768 result [svchost.exe] TCP - PC:5357 ESTABLISHED

  Hello

  Thanks for asking!

  This is because the network discovery is turned on.

  If you want, I suggest try tuning off the COAST of the discovery of the network and check if it helps.

  Enable or disable network discovery

• Network management problem, computer laptop Windows 7 will not find other computers on any network, however all other computers on the network can access Windows 7 laptop.

  Basically, the issue I'm having is that my laptop does not connect to any other computer to access the actions or other files.  Other computers on the network can access my computer laptop shares and files without any problems.  Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.

  What I tried:

  restarted
  uninstalling and reinstalling the files and printers, sharing maps and restart after completion
  all disabled firewall
  tried with IPv6 enabled and disabled without change, so it is currently enabled
  tried on a Wi - Fi and the differences are listed below in the section work (work is wireless)
  able to ping other comptuers
  access to other computers is permitted by other computers

  problem extends over several networks, IE I noticed it at home last night and the followed problem my laptop at work this morning.
  The problem is slightly different on the two sites.

  At home:
  I can see the other computers on the network, but I am unable to access it, even if I have permission, but other computers can access to my laptop.

  At work:
  Cannot even find other computers on the network but they can find and access my laptop.

  I have worked on this problem of non stop for several hours and did much more than what is said, but I am unable to remember everything.  I should have been taking notes: P

  Asked this question in the Windows 7 forum also because the problem was between windows 7 and Vista.

  Hello

  If it has started, you can try a system restore - an update "might" have caused the problem.

  1. try a system restore back to a point before that happened. And immediately thereafter enter
  Control Panel - Windows updates - top left settings and set it to download and informs you instead
  Automatic. Leave it until you are sure that everything is OK and then you can add them one at a time
  to troubleshoot BUT click right on and HIDE all the driver updates. Also stop at day of drivers like below
  and let this value - manually search for drivers when you think you need. (See how and why to)
  stop day of drivers below.)

  How to make a Vista system restore
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-System-Restore-how.html

  To uninstall an update if you determine that there are problems - Panel - updated Windows - down left-
  Updates installed - uninstall

  I had completely forgotten the system restore!  While looking into the system restore, I found that when I moved into my new House and has cable Internet installed, the cable technology installed a program of comcast on my computer.  This caused me to not be able to connect with other computers.  After rolling back to install it before it works!   Thank you.

• I can't start a desktop connection remote with my file server, but I can't get to my domain controller. Other computers on the network can initiate together.

  Using server 2003 as DC and server 2003 as a FS. Problem computer running windows 7 upgraded to vista professional. I can open a desktop session with the domain controller remotely, but I can't launch with the fs. Other computers on the domain have no problem with a server opening. I have access to shared folders on the MSDS via LAN and can ping the fs. Also can not use MySQL on the fs with this computer. FS cannot launch the Office with the computer problem remotely but can with others.

• Cannot see other computers on the network

  Am on XP SP3.
  When I go to network connections,
  Right-click on local area network
  Click Properties under the general tab,
  Click on install and click Service
  .. all I see is a list for a McAfee driver but nothing for Microsoft. I removed my computer some time ago with McAfee & he must have created problems that I can't see other computers on the network. Is there a Microsoft driver, I need to install and which will help to solve the problem of not seeing other computers on the network.

  On the general tab of the properties of your network connection to the LAN card, you should see a box under the heading "this connection uses the following items."  Most Windows XP configurations for home use have 4 entries in this box: Client for Microsoft Networks, QoS Packet Scheduler, file sharing and printers for Microsoft Networks, and Internet (TCP/IP) Protocol.

  If you don't have these, you need to install, even if you really need not the Scheduler of QoS packages.

  You seem to have got almost to the right place, but be aware that when you click on the button 'Install' in the box, you are given 3 choices: customer, Service and Protocol.  The "Client for Microsoft networks" is obviously a "customer." 'Internet (TCP/IP) Protocol' is a 'Protocol' and the other two are "Services".

• WRT160N - can't see other computers on the network

  I installed a new WRT160N and now I can't see other computers on my local network, but I can access the internet on each of them.

  Y at - it a setting that I need to change or what I need to use static IP instead of DHCP addresses?

  If you cannot ping the other computers on the network, then check your firewall settings or any other security software blocking the connection.

• Machine of Windows 7 cannot see itself or other computers on the network.

  I work with a volunteer organization, is attempting to add a new computer to their network. Add the new computer is a laptop running Windows 7 Professional (32-bit, 6.1 build 7601).

  It is one of the three computers that connect via a wireless network, with the remaining three computers connected by Ethernet.
  One of the laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 - bit, 6.1 build 7601) and the laptop rest and three desktop computers running XP Professional (5.1, build 2600).
  The laptop running Home Premium has no problem with connectivity. He can see himself and all the computers on the network (with the exception of the new Windows 7 Professional machine). The XP machines can all be seen and also the machine Windows 7 Home Premium.
  The Windows 7 Professional machine, however, cannot see itself, or one of the machines running on XP. It may, for some reason, see the Windows 7 Home Premium machine.
  I can ping each computer on the network from him and he can ping other computers. I can even connect using his IP address and access the folders and files shared like this, but nothing I have seems to change him will appear.
  I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials, neither of which has an effect any. The computers are all in the same workgroup and network machines Win 7 is set to work on both.
  I can't understand why this new computer should have these problems, I'm not a professional so there is probably something basic, I missed, but if anyone has any ideas I would be much obliged.
  Thank you very much.

• Client VPN prevents internet access from other computers on the network

  Hello.

  I run Client ver 4.6.03.0021 from an office on a network of 11 computers via a hub 16-port. Internet access is through an ICS gateway to the cable modem. Once I changed the modem cable to test a backup and then switched back to the original modem. After this, only computers that have the VPN Client (running or not) could access the internet. Computers that have no customer VPN can access only certain sites. Commonly viewed sites would say "site found. Waiting for answer", but the answer would never come and IE 6.1 cling. When I would try ping sites, it would fail. However, some sites such as Google.com would work.

  On one of the computers, on a whim of head, I installed the VPN Client but have not set up a connection. Now, this computer will connect to any website I want.

  Is there a fix easier to get access to other computers on the network without installing the VPN Client on each of them?

  Thank you

  H. Adams

  Hello

  Looks like you are running in MTU problem. The reason I say it is, automatically reduces the MTU value to 1300 VPN client during the installation for the whole system. That is to say all the client computer installed VPN that have MTU from 1300.

  Try to cut down the MTU of other systems that have no VPN client installed to 1300. If it's a Windows system, you can use Dr. TCP (free).

• Address IPCONFIG auto cannot locate my Ip address. Other computers on the WIFI at home have problems of "IP address conflict address" How can I fix

  Auto IPCONFIG can find 169. addresses. My IP BigPond do not answer to 169. I force the IP to get internet now. I'm trying to return to power enable all desktop computers 3 and 5 laptops (all windows) to use WIFI that we used to be able to 2 months ago. BigPond advise me to get in touch with Microsoft on 132058 and I can only do this Mon - Fri 9.00 - 5.00 which is extremely difficult so that an employee who works 12 hours. After hours of contact would be much more preferable. How can I have my computer 'automatically' identify my IP without forcing the numbers. When I force the IP on the other computers on the home WIFI network they can not access the internet due to a "conflict with an IP address. They should automatically be able to identify and define the same IP address as the primary computer without problem. How can I fix?

  It seems much more likely that the fault is in your TG782T on Windows.

  Either way, a 'normal' router will work with many more than 4 Ethernet ports (though most only have a maximum of 4 physical Ethernet Sockets) and more than 5 wireless connections.  It is therefore likely that your ISP has "customized" your device in a way that limits the number of connections - and it is probably this "customization" that gives you your current problems.  It will be a little difficult to do this via an Internet forum (rather than sitting in front of your computer), but it should be possible.

  Please specify the following sentence: "disconnect this computer and try a new computer is always the same problem as the gateway must always have this setting, this computer in IP."  What is "this setting of intellectual property?

  In the area of local connections > Internet protocols (TCP/IP), how is the 'work' computer configured?  Normally, it would set on "Obtain an IP address automatically."  What was the setting of 'alternative' that your ISP you are trying?

  The first thing to do is to get information on your work computer.  Follow these steps:

  1. click on start, and then type the three letters cmd in the run box, and then click OK.
  2. Enter the following command and press ENTER:
  ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ip.txt" {Enter}
  3. open the IP.txt file to your desktop
  4. copy and paste the text into your response.

  One of the lines in IP.txt will be something like the following:

  ... Default gateway. : 192.168.1.254

  This number is the IP address of your router.  Open a web browser (Firefox or Internet Explorer) and enter the IP address of your default gateway in the address box.

  At this point, it is possible that it will ask you a user name and password.  If you did not one, use admin as username and leave the password empty box.  If this does not work, there is a way around this, but it involves several phone calls from your ISP.

  Unfortunately, the only manual for the TG782 I could find is terribly incomplete. http://www.thomsonbroadbandpartner.com/GetFile.php?id=6978

  After login, you should see a page with a menu on the left (see p. 26 of the pdf above thomsonbroadbandpartner).  Click on the entry for "Home Network."  Unfortunately, the manual does not show the screen that appears when you enter this part of the configuration utility.  What you are looking for are the settings for the DHCP server on the router, which assigns IP addresses to computers connected to the router (no matter if they are connected by wire or wireless).

  Because the manual for your TG782T is not describe it, take a look at this, which is a part of the Linksys WRT54G Router configuration utility:http://cid-18b259158254905b.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/router%20setup.jpg

  Under the Network Configuration, the local IP address is set to 192.168.1.1.  On your router, the default value for this entry is 192.168.1.254.  Just under which are entered for "DHCP Server" "" starting IP address"and"Maximum number of DHCP users."  Here are the settings that you want to search.  The two critical parameters, as regards your current problem is are (1) the server DHCP must be "enabled" and "(2) the number of DHCP users Maximum" must be equal to or greater than the total number of computers that you want to connect (wired and wireless).

  Sorry I can't give you more specific instructions.  Usually, the user guide for the router will display all the available screens in the router configuration utility... but not this one.

• The computers on the LAN cannot print on old HP Officejet j5780 printer.

  HP Pavilion hpe h8 - 1360t 64 - bit, OS Windows 7 Home Premium. Old LAN had computer of Windows Vista 32 - bit OS and computer from Windows Vista 32 - bit OS with the USB printer connected to it. I was able to print on both computers. I bought the computer HP has declared earlier and installed in place of the original. The drivers for the USB Officejet j5780 printer have been updated to 64-bit and works very well with the new computer. The old 32-bit computer connected to the LAN does not print. Both computers recognize the LAN and connected devices. When printing is attempted on the old computer, the print job is sent without error, but does not appear on the computer, this printer is connected to. I created the LAN with Windows network and sharing.

  Thanks for the reply. I discovered in a document of Windoows is you have this problem with computers with different operating systems on the same LAN-in my case vista and windows 7 - change users under the same name on all computers. I did it and my two computers can share files and folders and print.

• 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

• Cannot see other computers on the network of the office.

  I can't see other computers on the network from my office, but if I type in \\xxxxxxxxxxx I'm able to get on the other computers on the network. How can I have them automatically appear?

  I'm terribly sorry for wasting your time.

  I realized what the problem was. I've implemented the new computer exactly as the old, same name and everything. Come and find the computer name of the computer being the same as the old conflict and did not again see what was on the network.

  So the trick was unplug the old computer from the network.
