• Cannot see other computers on the network

  .. 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".

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• PC Backup Windows is not 'see' my hard drive connected to the network.

  My WDC NAS drive appears in Windows Explorer and I am able to read and write normally, but I am unable to make an image backup to it because the mapped drive letter does not appear in the drop-down list of available backup storage devices. This happens on an established network of Vista (Business edition).

  DickShirk,

  Rather than choosing a network drive, you will need to provide the network path to the system. Here's a thread that is very similar to yours that should help you to solve your problem:

• Windows 7 cannot print on a deskjet D2650 via the network

  I have a D2650 deskjet printer connected to a desktop computer running XP Pro - SP3 - updated

  I got a laptop with Vista professional I could print from via my wireless to the printer.

  I upgraded to a laptop with Windows 7 Pro and the laptop found the printer over the network, and I was able to print a test page, no problem. I then tried to print a Word document and nothing happens. I come back and print another test page... no problem. Try to print from other programs and... nada.

  I then installed the correct drivers for Win7 64 bit, connected to the printer and print anything very well. When I return to the network and try to print, nothing other than a test page.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  To do this on the Windows 7 computer.

  Go to devices and printers
  Add a printer
  Add a local printer
  Create a NEW Port in the Add Wizard in the Control Panel Printers
  Select LOCAL port (unless your printer is a printer on a network with an address IP then chose TCPIP port
  Enter the name of the XP network or IP address
  Install the Win 7 driver

• Do not see the other computers on the network of LabVIEW

  I have 2 computers on a network (cpu1 and cpu2) that I use for data collection, and then several computers that I don't use. I got it when I did an in LabVIEW shared variable, a "network has released" a. Once these variables are deployed on cpu1, I go to cpu2 change the shared variable in an another VI by allowing the aliasing and by accessing the address of the PSP. For some reason, I don't see all cpu1, but I can see the rest of the network.

  When I return to cpu1 and try to access an address PSP, I can see cpu1 and variables deployed, but I can't see cpu2 on the network (although I see that all of the other computers). I know that they can see themselves, I ping one of the IP addresses of the other and he delay 0ms. If you have suggestions for what to try, I'm for it! Thank you!

  Greg

  After have the right ports open and unlock the right programs, windows firewall does not prevent my shared variables!

• Machine of Windows 7 cannot see the new printer

  Again Deskjet 4625 connected to my LT on windows 8. Wireless connection is OK and it works.  Scanning HP doctor ran and he see the printer on a machine from W7 desk top but still won't load the drivers. Printer shows offline, but I can see it on the ASUS router. Light is lit in blue on the printer.

  I tried everything but can't find the problem.

  Hi there RNRMusicMan.

  Followed your advice, but the result was "software installed in vain."

  The Wifi is connected. It works fine on my laptop Win8 where all of the HP software installed OK.

  I also have had to print via Windows 7 via the Wifi but cannot install the W7 HP software and therefore no Scanner.

  I tried turning Norton. I tried a start-up in minimal mode, but without success. I have tried many other options of threads, but without success. Clearly the HP software does not like W7!

• Win 7 computer cannot see the computers on the network

  We have 3 computers on our network. A desktop computer running a laptop running Win 7 x 64, an office equipped with Win Vista and Win XP. All 3 are connected to the same workgroup and are properly connected to the internet. The two workstations can see and the laptop on the network and can move the files to the laptop, but the laptop cannot see other computers on the network. Whenever I try to open the network to move files to another computer, the icon just mouse sits and turns and the page remains blank. I thought that maybe he just needs time to see everything, left like that for hours without success. I went through all the troubleshooting steps in the win7 with nothing working Help Center. I don't understand why, if all the computers are on the same network, they can see me, but I don't see them. I am obviously connected properly so they can move the files to my computer. It may be unrelated, but I also can't update windows, keep getting error 80246008 when I try to run the update. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

  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.
