Maximally connected in a workgroup - Windows 7 Home Edition basic members

I use Windows 7 home Basic, I would like to know if I create a working group, which is the maximum number of systems I can connect... What is the limitation of members of connection windows 7 Home Basic to the working group.

Thank you

Kind regards
Rocky.SMF

Might ask two questions. There is no limit to the number of machines that can be in a working group. However, it would be impractical to a perspective of bandwidth management and computer network. Once you get more than 8-9 machines, it's time to focus on the implementation of a domain with a real server.

What you really know is the limits of simultaneous incoming connections to a pseudo-server. While limitations exist in Windows 7, just as they do in XP and Vista, I can't find an article in the Knowledge Base of MS indicating their. In XP and Vista, the limits are 5 for Home editions and 10 for Professional editions / Business. Autour Googling, I found the Thurrott comparison chart that shows that all editions of Windows 7 have a limit of 20 connections:

Please note that the limitations are on cGeoConnections and no computers or users . Each computer can - and often do - make multiple connections to a server nickname of.

If you want more help, please describe your scheduled install and your end goal. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • After sysytem restored in windows 7 Home Edition, laptop can't connect to the internet.

    Personal salvation of support
    I have a lenovo laptop with windows 7 Home Edition on it, whenever I have a system restore I have following problem with network connection.

    • WiFi: the problem with the Wi - Fi connection is it says it has limited connection to the internet, the system receives a valid ip address of modem/router (DHCP). But system is unable to ping the address of the router (gateway address), similarly it cannot ping localhost or 127.0.0.1. It says general failure. Then I try to give the IP address manually on the wireless card, but I have the same problems
    • Wired: when I turn off the wireless connection and want to connect to the laptop via a network cable to the router I have the same problem, it cannot ping the localhost or 127.0.0.1.

    I tried the following, but it didn't work.

    • ipconfig enough and ipconfig/renew
    • Flushing the DNS system
    • netsh winsock reset all.
    • netsh int ip reset all.

    I saw several online forums, but couldn't find the solution to this problem, the only solution is to restore the system to factory setting, and then it works. Wired and wireless network works fine

    What is the solution to this problem, this is not an appropriate solution, is it a windows M S for this solution.

    Your help is highly appreciated

    Hello

    Open network and sharing Center, click on your wireless network connection.
    Click Properties, double-click Internet Version 4 Protocol.
    Select obtain an IP automatically, and select obtain dns server address automatically.
    check if it works
    method 2:
    This is perhaps a problem with your wifi driver.

    Open Control Panel, click hardware and sound. under devices and printers, click Device Manager. Expand network adapters and then double-click your network adapter. go to the driver tab and then click on set to update driver (leave the pc it automatically searches). Once he did try if everything has worked.

  • I installed Windows XP Home Edition. Can not find the wireless network drive

    I installed Windows XP Home Edition on my spare PC.  Now I have wireless network card in the computer and problems to find the drivers for it, and I don't know what brand it is, so I know it's kind of makes it harder too.  Then I also have to start the computer, but if I press F1, the computer starts well

    I was just wondering how can I get rid of this?

    Disable all devices that can connect to your router (wired or wireless)...

    • PCs
    • Laptops
    • Tablets
    • Smartphones
    • Smart TV
    • Printers
    • Networked storage
    • Another thing that I have not mentioned above!

    Put on your router and wait for the normal light distribution. Then turn on all devices.

    I hope that your ip address conflict went away. Generally ip conflicts can happen when the router is running again without doing the same with all devices later.

    If you have even an ip address conflict, it is possible that you forgot something above or can someone use your router without your knowledge.

    Your router's wireless network is secure? Ideally with WPA2 encryption?

    Thank you

    Hello Roman

    Thanks for the clarification on the "new computer".

    If, as you say, the card mother and any other material is compatible XP then by all means install Windows XP on this machine. As you said you "my idea is to get the XP and keep as long as possible, even after support ceased in 2014, because I like it better than any other operating system." You have been made aware of possible problems concerning the lack of support and you are ready to accept those. The only problem is to get a copy of Windows XP from a reliable source. Unfortunately, I can't help you with that. Personally, I prefer to get my software direct from the manufacturer or by a reliable retailer. As no other retailer has copies of Windows XP you are, unfortunately, has left the search for credible resource on the web.

    My note to the subject of sticking with Windows 7 or 8 on your new computer has been in regards to your initial comment to a "new computer". I have two computers that are running Windows 7 and Windows 8, but then again maybe I need the additional machines and you do not have.

    I have to admit that Windows XP is a great operating system, and to be honest, I also use it on a virtual machine on one of my PC. However it is more for support reasons than the generalization on my part.

    Windows 7 get some getting used to, but I found it a usable operating system. Windows 8, however, is an altogether different beast. You love or hate it and judging by the comments on the Microsoft forums many people hate everything simply. Yet once I used it since the first beta of the operating system, so I'm used to it.

    I agree with voluntary J on Windows XP Mode. This is useful if you have applications that are not compatible with Windows 7. However, as you said in your reply to J to volunteer, you must upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. You can run Windows XP on a virtual machine, with, say, Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (as a free option); However, you should always buy a copy of XP and new Virtual Machines have some restrictions, especially when it comes to certain types of hardware connected to your PC. Maybe your best bet, if you prefer to upgrade would be to use Windows XP from Windows 7 mode.

    I hope that you succeed in your quest for a reliable copy of Windows XP
