Major difficulties connecting two PC with Windows 7

I have a desktop computer equipped with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 and a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 on a Bootcamp partition with parallel. While my office network "sees" the laptop, I have no luck with the laptop, I can't detect anything else than the laptop.

When I want to change the network on the notebook on 'Working group', that the box is grayed out and cannot be changed, so it is obvious that my laptop is looking for a network that does not exist and I don't seem to be able to change that. I tried using Microsoft, but has been unable to complete the statement because of this limitation. Where can I break this vicious circle it please?

Thank you a lot of room for your help.

You can take a look at the following link on home networks:

Please note that the working group cannot be changed unless your PC is connected to a domain environment. The following link will help you:

  • Connect two PCs using Windows 7 with a crossover cable

    Hi, I used the crossover cable to connect two PCs with Windows 7 pro 64-bit and I did everything right I know, but computers do not display the each other. How can I solve this big problem!

    Default gateway cannot be 0.0.0.0. In addition, computers must be able to talk to each other, so the gateway must match the IP address of the other computer. Right now, the installation program is not talking to each other.

    Try this:

    PC 1

    IP: 192.168.2.1

    SUP: 255.255.255.0

    Gateway: 192.168.2.2

  • Computer with Vista unable to connect to the internet through two computers with Windows 7.

    Dear engineers,

    In our House, we have two new computers Windows 7 connect to Wired internet access.  Our friend came in hoping to play some MMO games with us on our connection (it has windows vista).  When we hung everything upward, by linking to our modem, his computer was visible on my husbands computer, but was visible on mine as a media device.  He could see the two computers, but could not get an internet connection and no viable ping.  We checked the network map and he showed my computer with one? related to my husband then connected to the internet.  Inside, there was an announcement indicating that the following devices are not displayed in the network map.  under of course was listed both our friends media device and the computer device.  I searched Control Panel and gave access to anyone on the login to my husbands system as long as me.  What happens if nothing else can I try to have its system you can connect to our internet?

    Thank you for your attention,

    Hello

    If a computer is not properly visible it generally means that sharing is not set correctly to match your system.

    You must also set your computers with the computer account of the friend as a user on your computer.

    Everyone does not mean everyone wishing to connect.

    If the accounts are presented only for John, Jill and Jack, setting in the folder with all permissions saves the effort of definition permission separately for John, Jill and Jack.

    Everyone isn't everyone group, only John, Jill and Jack.

    In general.

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    Hello

    AFAIK the Tecra M5 came with the graphics card Intel or nVidia.

    On laptops with nVidia graphics card, you can set a different option in nVidia Desktop Manager. for example allow several computers to office
    You should find it in the control panel.

    Unfortunately, I put t know exactly where the parameters are placed in the nVidia Manager because this notebook was shipped only with Windows XP but I'm sure that you will find.

  • Two computers with Windows Vista has problems with (screens going blank).

    We have a Sony Vaio laptop and an HP Touchsmart with Windows Vista.  Last week Sony screen turned black and jumped, then back with the message saying there was an error with the NVIDIA GRAPHICS DRIVER, the driver had stopped working properly.  You had to do repair system, which then gave me an option to do system restore to the previous time.  Done this and back Sony a bit, then the screen went black and had to repeat the process.  Long story short, it won't restore or do something.  HP Touchsmart now do the same thing.  Anyone having this problem?

    If you have the message on which you say that you did - it's a driver problem or a video card problem.  If you allowed Microsoft to update your nVidia driver - that might be the root of your problem.  It is possible that both machines have nVidia video cards, maybe even the same.  In any case - the solution remains the same for at least the one you quoted the error for.

    Download and install the latest video card for any device driver is installed and if this does not work - could be material.

    I'm guessing that the machines are in the same place - same meaning House or business?  If they are connected to a regulation of output/device which could damage the components via automatic voltage of the voltage drops and overvoltages?

  • Unable to connect Bluetooth speakers with Windows 7 system

    Dear experts,

    I have a laptop HP Pavilion DV7-2014TX running Win7 Ultimate.

    I just bought a new Bose Bluetooth headset. I tried for 2 hours to try to pair it with my phone, but my laptop is not all bluetooth devices.  I tried as much as I know, but I'm out of ideas. The only thing that I think now is that my laptop is old enough that it is no longer compatible with the version of bluetooth on my helmet.

    Any help would be welcome, thank you.

  • Control point for endpoint connect is compatible with Windows 8.1?

    Original title: CheckPoint endpoint connect

    Hello

    I'll do the upgrade of Windows 8 Pro for Windows Pro 8.1.

    By choosing the upgrade path that allows me to keep all the files, settings and applications, it shows that the only application that I have to uninstall will be Checkpoint Endpoint Connect (which currently runs under Windows 8 Pro).

    At all known installation CheckPoint EndPoint Connect on Windows Pro 8.1 and installed successfully?

    Thanks for the reply.

    I've went ahead with the installation of Windows RTM 8.1 and took the risk that Checkpoint would not be compatible.

    I was able to uninstall Checkpoint, as part of the upgrade of Windows 8.1 window and subsequently install Checkpoint endpoint connect successfully.

    Therefore, I am happy to say that for our Organization and our version of the control point, it is looking like it is fully compatible with Windows 8.1.
