  Conditions known to the TWO PCs:

  Same workgroup

  File and Printer Sharing is on

  NetBios is enabled

  Computer browser is started

  Both PCs have updated files to share with users able to change files on the network.

  Help this has been driving me crazy

  No doubt Section c below or misconfigured or double firewall.

  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 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. create the counterpart of the user accounts and 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:

  XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

• RDP in the remote computer works for only 1 of the 2 local machines almost identical

  I have a laptop and desktop at home, and I'm eager to distance in my work machine. The laptop can RDP into my machine to work very well, but I was not able to understand why my office cannot. I was even able to RDP in my work from my office machine in the past (a few months ago), but now he can't. Here is the error message I get on the desktop after the RDP authentication will fail; the laptop can connect correctly by using the same credentials.

  

  Both are running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.

  Both use supplied with windows Remote Desktop connection application.

  Both access to the internet via a wireless connection (the desktop equipped with a wireless adapter computer) connected to the same router.

  Both are fully updated with updates of Windows and run the same antivirus.

  The two successfully connect to a VPN software that connects very well and uses the same network as my work computer credentials.

  Both must connect using the same login information, which are the same login information that I use at work.

  On the desktop, I tried and failed with the following text:

  Disabling the Antivirus and Windows Firewall.

  Copy and run the RDP file saved to the laptop on the desk.

  Reinstalling the VPN software on the desktop.

  The only difference between the two that I can think is that my office does not require a password to connect; but it doesn't stop me of remoting in the working computer in the past, and my computer configuration has changed very little since then.

  What else can check to figure out what could be allowing the laptop through, but deny the Office? Any help is appreciated, because I prefer to use my home office instead (two monitors, better equipment, etc.).

  I was able to find a workaround for this problem, well that is not ideal. It seems that my work computer and desktop home somehow at some point got the same network IP address (192.168.1.106, at least by trying to connect to my work machine). Even if not connected via VPN software, they both have the same network IP address. That's why I was able to connect to another computer on the network, but not my machine specific work; My Home Office thought he needed to connect to itself. So what I was for my home desktop to have a different network IP address. my laptop has had a (192.168.1.3) which differed from the work machine.

  What I did to work around that it was:

  On my desktop, I opened the command prompt and run the ipconfig command and writes down the subnet mask and the default gateway of my wireless connection for use in later steps.

  I then roughly followed the steps of this (somewhat similar to Windows 7) site to modify the IPv4 settings to change from automatic to manual IP address assignment. Set it to manual and back (i.e. reset) has not worked for me and has given rise to the same network IP address. So, using the values of the ipconfig I ran earlier, I chose a random network IP (192.168.1.42) address, left the settings to manual assignment and find other info. For DNS servers, I use Google's Public DNS.

  The end result looks like the following and I am able to connect to my work from my home office machine.

  

  EDIT:

  After a little more work and looking around, I could cancel the settings above (thus leaving my office with the default settings) and solve the problem of logging in my router settings and my office assign an IP network (192.168.1.42) using its MAC address. As long as I don't have to RDP into a computer to work with the IP address assigned, it will work very well.

  I would mark this as the answer but do not see how.

• I have a problem with the computer work is not correctly after you install the KB2753842 update.

  This update of windows has been installed automatically today (22/12/2012) as the (successful with this date) shows on the Page update.  Since that it has been installed, the computer is constantly read/write on the disc at 100% at all times (i.e. non-stop).  Performance is significantly degraded.  I rebooted several times, whenever the system shows the updates are being configured on tap-dwon and commissioning.  I want to reinstall the update because I think that it was not successful, even if the display update Page shows successful installation.  When I try to find and remove the update under the Panel of control-> program and features-> Windows updates, this update is NOT displayed (latest updates are 13/12/2012).  How can I remove and reinstall this security update?  It is a BIG problem at the moment.  Computer is almost non-functional.  Thnx.

  Original title: update security for windows (KB2753842)

  Nirmal S, thank you.  System Restore did the trick.  I restored prior update checkpoint and then the system automatically re-installed the latest update (which is one I had a problem with).  Problem solved!  My computer working again 'normally '.

  Also, I learned a few new things about the updates and restorations, so...

  Bravo for Nirmal S!

• I changed my computer working group at the computer at home and I don't have password now to open xp. Is my death now of computer for good?

  That's about all. I bought the computer used off someone and he was placed in the mode of group, had no problem. I went there in computer mode at home after using it for years and now I can't go past the password and I don't know. I do not have a xp disk again the software and I'm just wondering if there is a way for me to never come back, or should I throw it in Lake Michigan.

  It seems that if you have fallen into the trap described in the following Microsoft KB article:

  "You can not connect after you remove the computer from the domain.
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/317049 >

  To make things worse, you have no restore media or you know the login of the user local administrator password. (Not unusual for a computer connected to the domain).  You skate on thin ice throughout uses a password cached for years and finally went through.  At the risk of denying some lucky fish in Lake Michigan a free condo, there is a way that you should be able to recover if your system restore has been activated before the crash.

  First of all, you need to start your machine from a Bootable CD.  You can create one of these for free on another computer.  You can try using Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or try to use a Windows-based rescue CD as freeware Hirens Boot CD.  Whatever way you go, start your computer from this CD.  You then use this system to locate a backup copy of your registry on your hard drive.  You should find one in the following folder:
  C:\System Volume Information\_restore {xxxxxxx...} \RPxxx\snapshot
  Where the s "xxx" refers to the random semi.  Find the directory "RPxxx" just before your blunder.  You will find then five files that constitute the register: in the folder above, they will be called: _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM, _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY, _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE, _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM, _REGISTRY_USER_. BY DEFAULT.

  You need to COPY (important: do not MOVE) these five folders for your:
  C:\Windows\System32\Config
  Directory.  After you do this, you will find the corresponding registry files (SAM, SECURITY, SYSTEM, SOFTWARE, by default) in the same Config directory.  Just rename these files from the existing registry (for example, by adding ".bak" in their name) and then rename the files _REGISTRY_ for the files that you just rename.

  Reboot your machine, you should get back to where you were.  If you succeed, you must do two things immediately.  First, create a user local administrator privileges, so that you can yourself bail next time and, second, to make a formal "System Restore" to the last restore point before your problem.  It also wouldn't hurt to change the password for the user: "Administrator" for something, you will know now.

  A more problematic procedure of Microsoft essentially describes the following steps.  If you follow the instructions in Microsoft, boot from the CD to start above and repeat the procedure in part 2, step 6, using GUI to move/rename the files instead of the command prompt.

  "How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 >

  ... and if all else fails, just install Linux on the machine ;-)...
  or you can also check to see if you have a recovery partition, which you can use to reinstall Windows.  Find a key, press the first splash screen when you start.

  Good luck

• MY COMPUTER DOES NOT START, NOT EVEN WHEN YOU TRY TO PUT IT IN SAFE MODE, EVERYTHING GOES TO A BLACK SCREEN, PLEASE HELP ME!

  OK, so last night, my computer was freezing up so I held the power button down to turn off, I turned it back and he asks me if I want to start in safe or just normally.  I chose because it starts as usual, it's just sitting there, it goes through the motions as it will start but it never does, I went to sleep woke up to the top and all I have is a black screen with mouse pointer again, nothing has changed, the same things happen when I try to start it in safe mode.  I tried to get the disks it is came up with, but the computer seems to not even acknowledge that they were never inserted, I don't know what to do, can anyone help me, I'm sitting here on the laptop of my bf and I am interested in this black screen with the pointer of the mouse in the Middle, I don't know what to do...

  Hello

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
  field efforts.

• Can't see another computer for file sharing

  Hello
  I have 2 computers in my house, a PC running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 and the other a XP Home Edition SP3 race, both connected to the Internet through a router TL-MR3420 and the adapter TP-LINK TL-WN822N. I have enabled the sharing of files on both computers and have no problem to display all of the files shared between each computer, so far.
  Whenever I try to view another computer via "Network" or "homegroup" menu on 7 (or my network places on XP), I can't see my other computer which is supposed to be there. So far, I've tried a few attempts to analyze and resolve:
  1 ping each other by IP - success.
  2 ping each other by the name of the computer - has failed.
  3. try to access to "- and " run - failed with error 0 x 80070035 - path not found network. ".
  4 run diagnose step above on Windows 7, she returned with a result: "the device or resource (my static IP XP) is not configured to accept connections on port 'The file sharing and printers (SMB)'."
  5 turn off the firewall on the computers and router.
  6. ensure that necessary services for file sharing are active.
  7. the reactivation of the wireless connection on both computers.
  8 change the name of the Working Group on both computers.
  9. run ipconfig/all on both computers.
  10 install this fix on my XP.
  Ipconfig, it seems my two computers showing the active DHCP on 'no', so I changed my network settings to "obtain an IP automatically" she turns to the 'yes' later. And "NetBIOS over TCP/IP", showing the different statutes on 7 that it is activated on XP it is disabled, even though I put it activated via the WINS tab on the XP network settings. Still do not solve the problem.
  I don't know if it means something, but I share also some folders on my 7 to my Tablet ES File Explorer app, it works as it should (as long as I use static IP address), but if I try to connect my tablet to shared folders on XP, it always shows error message on either:
  WiFi is turned off (it is)
  SMB server is out of reach of the network
  The ip address is not valid
  Blocked by the firewall
  SMB service is disabled
  I guess that Wifi, IP and firewall are not the problem, and I don't know about SMB, it's stands for Samba / file Printer Sharing? He has already checked on computer network settings.
  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  I solved this.

  I opened my XP, run these commands via cmd:
  netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

  netsh winsock reset
  Restart the computer and then change my connection of cable wireless lan then back to wireless again.

  Hello, Robert

  During the upgrade of the operating system, the HARD drive will be the format and all the files, links and data are lost.
  So if you need your old links in the IE Favorites you must copy these files in the folder

  Hello

  In my opinion, you can install the Win XP OS without any problem on your M300.
  I also found a good driver on Toshiba page.
  It is important that you will install all the drivers necessary Toshiba and utilities in the correct order after complete installation of Windows XP.
  You must install the driver from the Chipset in the first, then the common modules and pilot display and so on.

  The printer is connected to a HP/Compaq PC 6300 Win 10. Fortunately, it prints monoface but Windows always responds with the message "the Document has been configured to print by using the Automatic Two-Sided Printing module, but module is not installed in the device. The document will print one-sided "." The duplex unit IS installed in the printer and works very happy for many years under WIndows XP and Windows 7 (but using a different computer). I tried to remove the printer and all its files, download a new complete system of driver HP (OJ_SF_K8600_140_408 - 4.exe), reinstalling without success. The properties of the printer show the duplexer "installed". Any ideas? (other that throw the printer and buy a new one!)

  Have heard by now the support of HP telling me:

  "I must inform you that the printer you are currently using is supported only
  up to Windows Vista operating systems. Therefore, to use this printer solution
  would be to install another operating system, another more ancient, such as Windows Vista, Windows XP,.
  Windows NT or Windows 2000 "

  Not even the Windows 7! that she will roll!
