KB2641690 made unusable computer on the network
A recent reinstall of XP - SP3 on a Dell computer worked without problem for the last three months, up to what I have installed KB2641690. Now the machine has disappeared from the local network; cannot access other shared computers or authorize others to use the laser printer. However, it can still use the Internet. Run a network trace indicates he will not answer ARP requests which would explain the result but not the cause. He has also slowed significantly.
If you uninstall the update - which suits him?
(If not - then that may not be your problem).
Logged on as an administrative user, try the following commands from a command prompt (one at a time, pressing ENTER after each one).
netsh winsock reset catalog
ipconfig / renew
ipconfig/flushdns
ipconfig/registerdns
ARP d *.
nbtstat - RR
Restart after the last of them.

You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...
When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:
-Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
-Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
-Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.
You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...
1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
2. click on the System Restore tab.
3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
5. click on OK. Then click OK again.
You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...
Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...
-Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
-Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
-On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
-Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
-Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
-Click OK.
-Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
-Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.
You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

Writes a text file from a network computer to another computer on the network.
It is possible to write a text file from a computer on the network to another computer on the network through labview without using FTP?
Hi bebo_lm,
It depends on how they are connected. If you have a 'normal' access to the pc and you can write on a hard drive of the other computer, you can use the writing functions of files or the copy of the file. If they are not connected like this, then you need another service. Why you do not use FTP?

Hi JMG_53,
· Did you do changes on the computer before the show?
Follow these methods.
Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 2: Follow these steps:
Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.
Step 2: If the problem does not persist in safe mode with networking, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state from the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.
After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.
(a) click Start, run.
(b) type msconfigand click OK.
(c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
(d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.

I used a d-link WBR-1310 Wireless G router to set up the network on my Vista computer. On my XP computer, I used an adapter G USB 2.0 Wireless d-link WUA-1340. Both computers are single room apart and most of the time, the doors are open, so there is no major obstacle to interfere with the signal. This is my first experience on the implementation of a network and I must admit I was a little unsure of myself. I don't know if I have some incorrect settings or if the problem may be something else. It is a WEP secure network but I don't think that's the problem. My XP computer on the network automatically signs as soon as it starts. I am trying to download the LLTP from Microsoft on my XP machine, but I don't know if this could be the problem. I've been struggling with this problem for almost 4 weeks and I'm getting very frustrated.

My OS is Windows 7 Professional. I have configured windows backup back up some of my files on a network share on a daily basis. There are people other than me who have administrator privileges on the computer on the network where my backup is stored. My problem is to password protect the share network folder as windows backup on it my computer can be done automatically. The computer where the backup is stored is a machine to windows server 2008.

Error message "another computer on the network has the same IP address as this computer. Contact you network administrator for help resolving this issue. More details are available in the Windows system event log"
Does anyone have a simple way (for a dummy) to solve this. If I disconnect my wireless router and laptop and turn the two again this sorts the problem temporarily, but it does not provide a definitive solution. I use a new laptop and my old one has been scrapped, so I do not know whence this 'conflict '. My old laptop had Windows XP operating system and my new Windows 7. I hope that someone can provide a solution to this annoying problem.
