• a router monitor can display of my purchases in a site like eBay password protected?

  a router monitor can display of my purchases in a site like eBay password protected? If not, what exactly can a router monitor (on another computer), discovered on my wireless laptop? Thanks in advance for any help with this issue!

  Hello

  Router monitor is a tool that allows you to control the router that you are connected to and see the other IP connected as well as other important details.  He usually don't know the details on a Web page he's been watching just the traffic lights. However, some routers have the ability to connect what websites is visited and how much time is spent and how much bandwidth has been used.

  Therefore, you can also contact the manufacturer of the software for more details on the subject.

• Cannot turn off or disable password protected sharing the network and sharing Center

  I'm trying to turn some pretty simple sharing of files between our windows PC (two portable minicomputers running under XP, a desk and a laptop running vista). File sharing functions between the XP computers. However, I am simply unable to influence the "password protected sharing setting" in the network and sharing Center. I check the option to turn it off and I get a click through UAC dialog window, the mouse cursor turns for a short time while as if windows is pretending to do something, but the password protected sharing setting is always on.

  I tried to disable Avira Antivir.

  I enabled the guest account and set its password to a string explicitly empty with net user guest «»

  Nothing helps.

  svampi,
  This knowledge base article can be useful for you.  Although the problem that it is designed for the difficulty is not the same as yours, the underlying cause is the same.  There is an article to 'fix', which means that you can click the 'fix' in the article so that it automatically fixed for you online or you can follow the instructions to edit the registry yourself if you feel capable of doing that.  So check that out and see if it helps with your problem:

• Message error "parameter is Incorrect" when powering down wide network of password protected sharing

  In the network and sharing Center, when I click on the arrow to option sharing protected by password, select turn off password protected sharing and click on apply, I get an error message saying "the parameter is Incorrect."  In fact, I would keep the Division password protected, but my son is trying to use a printer that is hard, connected to my computer via the wireless network and enter my user name and password.  It also has Vista.  I check the box saying to remember the password on her computer, but it does not work. Whenever he stops his laptop computer and restarts, then try to print, enter my user name and password again!  I need to get Vista to work on one of these computers!

  Hello anderfam,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

  (1) make sure that the file and printer sharing is enabled.
  (2) If you are using a computer connected to a "working group", click on the arrow next to password protected sharing to expand this section.  Check if password protected sharing is enabled or disabled.

  If the password sharing is enabled, only people with a user account and password for this computer will be able to access your printer. Disable this option if you want anyone on the network can access the printer you share unless you give then a user account and password.

  Printer sharing:
  ------------------

  To share the printer, configure the printer as a shared printer on the server or the host (the computer connected to the printer).
  Make sure that you install the printer driver on each client or the system remote (computers other than the server).
  It is preferable to obtain the most recent driver of your Web site.
  Also check that the printer is compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista.

  If Windows XP Professional Edition is the host:

  1. open the Printers window.
  2. click the right button on your printer list, and then select "Sharing" in the menu that appears.
  3. Select 'Share this printer', type a share name for the printer and click on 'OK '. Take note of this name as it will be used later.

  When Windows Vista is the client:
  Install the printer driver
  Use a driver downloaded from the manufacturer's site to install the printer
   
  1. If you use the downloaded driver, double-click the downloaded file, then click on 'run '. The file will then be extracted and start the driver installation.
  2 follow the prompts and continue with the installation until you reach the Setup completed screen appears.
  3. on this screen, check the "Select" printer port box, and then click on the manual button 'Selection '.
  4. Select "" LPT1: port local printer ' and click on 'OK', then click 'Finish'. "
  5. in the Printers window, right-click the printer icon and select 'Properties' (access to the Printers window)
  6. click on the tab "Ports", and then click 'Add Port '.
  7. Select "Local Port" and click "new port" button.
  8. Enter the name of the port using the XP computer name and the name of the printer in the \\ComputerName\PrinterName form and then click 'OK '. Close the Port name window.
  9. click on 'Close' in the Printer Ports window.
  10. the new port poster now as being selected. Click "close".
  11. click on "Install driver" If the following window appears. You are now ready to print.

  Another thing is to make sure that if the firewall windows is that there is an exception specified for sharing files and printing.
  Make sure that all the computers are on the same workgroup. By default, XP machines are set to "MSHOME" while Vista machines are set to "WORKGROUP". They should both say WORKGROUP.

  If please reply back and let us know if these measures have helped to solve your problem or if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help you.

  Sincerely,

• I bought a Dell system that is password protected. I do not have a disk of re - install. What can I do?

  Password! Help!

  I bought a laptop Dell has windows Home Basic edition. Password protected and I don't drive! What should I do?

  Hello

  Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

  Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/keeping-passwords-secure-Microsoft-policy-on/39f56ef0-5d68-41AD-9daa-6e6019c25d37

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  You need to reinstall the operating system.

  See if there is a recovery Partition to do this:

  Read this information from Dell on how to do it:

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&docid=DSN_336966&isLegacy=true

  Otherwise, call Dell and ask them to send a Vista recovery disk.

  Normally, they charge a low cost to make.

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/DellCare/contact_us?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&redirect=1

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  See you soon.

• Password protect Cisco Connect

  I have a Linksys E1000. It works very well. I have access to the Cisco router for connection (password, guest access management). I realized today that anyone who has access to my laptop could open Cisco Connect, see the router password and have access to the network. It is a way to password protect Cisco Connect?

  You could phone contact Cisco and see if they have any information about the protection as SW. It may be obsolete and therefore no longered developed or updated you may need to stop using it if hiding PW routers are a matter of concern for your use.

  I have a hp laptop with windows vista. I have a password at start up. my laptop was stolen today.

  I would like to know if the hard drive is removed and plugged into another computer or a usb box can be access the data without the password. any help is appreciated

  Hello

  Thanks for your reply... but from your response, it seems that the hard drive is not out of the box... There is some level of protection... What are according to you can be easily bypassed... I have the Internet was something like gains possession of the disc or something like that... I just wanted to confirm if this was the case... or is that by plugging the hard drive via a USB external box, the files are directly accessible.

  Thank you.

  I have to decline responded that this forum has srtict rule prohibiting any person showing users how to circumvent and bypass the password protection.

• Windows 7 does not ask for password when password protected sharing is on.

  Hi guys,.

  I'm no stranger to permissions etc as I work in it, but it confused me after 4 hours of messing around.

  I'm trying to make sure that when I share a file on my home network that windows requires a password in order to access what it is not doing.

  The following conditions are true for both machines:

  Are windows 7 Home premium

  Have file sharing enabled on each respective network adapter

  Are members of the home network

  Are both on the network, called "WORKING group".

  Assistant file sharing was turned on and off then to make sure it wasn't an influence, it is currently off as he auto-actions the user root folder.

  Network discovery is on

  File sharing and printer is on

  I tried the two combinations of sharing folders public or not, but is currently disabled.

  Streaming media is off

  Password protected sharing is on

  Tried the two combinations of user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers. (This is currently set to allow windows to manage)

  So I won't list them the public parameters are not relevant.

  I put one hand on my laptop remove 'Everyone' and 'administrators' only have my own authorized account which is be an administrator.

  My other machine but I still seem to be able to open and access the folder. I tried to change advanced sharing permissions and security settings to exclude any group that can be let my other pc on the network but so far still no prompt for password.

  I even went to regedit and apply the following on both machines:

  1. Open Registry Editor (Start search - regedit)
  2. navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
  3. create a new DWORD value with the following properties: NAME: LmCompatibilityLevel
  VALUE: 1
  4 reboot your PC and try again to establish the connection.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you people!

  I think I've cracked the question:

  I created a new account admin on my PC and the first time I tried to access anything, I got the password. I don't have it a second time.

  I then removed and put in the passwords and then disconnected cache and back in and asked again the password.

  I tried the same thing on my other account, but it has not yet requested.

  It turns out that even on another computer, if you have the same username and password that it automatically authorizes for good once you enter the network password first.

  Thank you

  No and no. Firefox doesn't have such a feature and I am not aware of an extension that provides a feature like that.

  Better a user account logon Windows separate for each user of that PC and / or one for "guest" users Who will provide much more privacy.

• Password protect an external hard drive connected to Time Capsule

  I have a WD passport external hard drive connected to my time capsule, so my wife and I can easily share files. I have the external hard drive connected through the locked time capsules WiFi network so someone in the House can not access however if they walked the time capsule and not plugged in the external hard drive they could walk away with it. When I try to password protect external hard drive then time capsule may not recognise, and so I can't use it as an external hard drive that is shared. No one knows how, to password protect the external hard drive connected to the time capsule as if someone physically stole the external hard drive it would be locked, but have yet still recognizable by Time Capsule when I plugged?

  Hope that makes sense.

  The only way to do is to encrypt the files on the computer.

  And you both use the same password. Unfortunately, this probably means that you can not share files directly... The TC is not a SIN... never, it was designed for this purpose so there no controls to help admin file sharing.

  If you create a DMG file on WD drive that encrypt you and you can copy files to and from... but only one at a time.

  Another method would be to use a specific software... Watch chronosync.

  http://www.econtechnologies.com/Chronosync/guide-sync-with-disk-image.html

  I don't him have not run in this configuration... so, you have to experiment if it manages what you want.

  I think that there will always be limitations on concurrent access from multiple computers.
