Name of working group for setting up wireless dv7t-4100

I just bought a new laptop (laptop entertainment dv7t-4100 CTO).  I use in conjunction with two workstations, running a XP SP3, the other running VISTA.  Introducing the new HP laptop, my name of the network used the default MSHOME XP, and I changed the name of VISTA to its default value of WORKGROP to MSHOME-result is that since a year, there were no particular problems with the network.  Now I know that I have to change the name of the network in HP on MSHOME for compatibility. However, I can't find a way to change the default name. Perhps I missed something during the initial installation.  Someone at - it experience with access to Setup wireless on HP dv7t machines?  It must be possible, I just can't understand it right now.

  • How to share a folder in a working group for some PC

    Hello
    I have a working group with the name of workgroup1.
    There are about 10 PCs in this working group with the names of PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4...
    I have a folder in PC1 with folder1 name and I want to share it in the Working Group
    I want that only users of PC2 and PC3 to see this folder
    Please me tips

    For starters, Windows file sharing does not care and cannot distinguish any particular computer access.  Windows protects access to files by user name and password.  Therefore, on PC1, you must create a username and password for everyone you want to access the files on this computer.  Then, they authenticate from any computer with this user name and password.

    Secondly: For Windows to distinguish a user to another user, "Simple file sharing" must be disabled.  Active Simple file sharing, all users that connect to the service computer will always authenticate as user 'Guest' and, therefore, you can control access to any file or folder it by individuals.  Simple file sharing cannot be disabled on XP Home, to support this feature, your PC1 must be XP Pro edition.

    Assuming that you did this now, everything you need to know to disable Simple file sharing and establishing user access to files is in this article:
    "How to disable the file sharing simple and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP"

  • "Cannot access working group on some computers running XP - ' &#60; name of working group &#62; is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource ".

    I have a home with 4 PC network - one of them is running Windows 7 Home Premium (with homegroup disabled) and others running XP Pro.  The XP machines is called 'Server' and the server and the computer services browser running and set to automatic.  Two other computers, called "Notebook" and "Dell", as well as the machine Windows 7 have no file and sharing printers enabled and have specifically the Server service is disabled.

    My problem is that one of the two XP client machines cannot access the working group.  Let me be clear about this: I open Windows Explorer and click on "My network places"-> "entire network"-> "Microsoft Windows network", there is then a second 5-10 break and then my workgroup name is displayed.  When I click on the name of the Working Group, there is another ~ 10 second pause and then I get a message that says error " is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have permissions.  A device attached to the system does not work. ', where is the name of my group to work for other days, after some of the computers are restarted, I find that the XP client has absolutely no problem with that; but the other now has this same problem.  In other words, the problem going on between two XP clients.

    Let's analyze: I have Windows on all PC firewall and any other firewall program.  I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and my anti-virus (temporarily), program without effect.  This may not be a problem with the way I've set up my actions because the error occurs when I try to click on the task force rather than a shared resource.  This cannot be a problem with a specific XP client because at different times, each of the two PCs worked perfectly without any changes of configuration made between the two.  It could be a problem with the server settings; but I don't see what it could be.  I tried editing

    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters and changing

    IRPStackSize from 21 to 45, then 50.  I also tried to change the size of 2 to 3.  I restarted the server and the client XP and had no effect.

    I don't have the same account of user configured on all three machines.  However, this cannot be the issue because the problem occurs when I click on the task force, before the server name is still displayed.  In addition, each of these two XP clients have connected with their existing user accounts at times.

    I tried the Wizzard of configuration network running on all four machines, without effect.  I tried a lot of things, most of which I can't remember.  I'm at the end of my mind.  Help, please.

    JW,

    Thanks for the continued support.

    By the advice of IPCONFIG, I looked at the registry for all computers and found EnableProxy wasn't there.  According to the documentation by default to 0, which is what we want.  However, I added it to all the computers and left it set to 0 and restarted the computer.  The node Type still said 'unknown '.

    Thanks for the info on the master browser.

    The ""Network location cannot be reached"when you access actions."
    the article talks about Windows 2003 Server and none of the symptoms mentioned relate to this situation.

    The "network adapter advanced troubleshooting for Windows workstations" is on hardware troubleshooting.  I think that it's probably not a problem because the computer has no trouble to access the internet, which is not possible if the card network are not working.

    I went through the AutoCorrect entry to reset the TCP/IP stack, even if the article describes symptoms such as difficulty to access the internet...  And...  THIS MARKET!

    After re-booting, the PC that was in trouble can now access the working group.  All other PCs can always too (have not tried to restart all over again).  AWESOME!  I can't thank you enough!

    I re-post if the syptoms happen; but for now, we can consider this issue RESOLVED.

    Thank you 1 million,

    Adam

  • Need help setting up a network home wireless to the working group. I tried everything I read and nothing has worked. I got lost.

    I just received a more recent laptop and wants to set up a network so I can transfer files back.  It seems that it would be a fairly simple network to set up, but obviously I'm missing something.

    It must be a wireless network.  I have a wireless router, two Toshiba laptops, running a Windows 7 and the other runs Windows 10, and I have a printer.  I can access internet with laptops or both if the router does not seem to be the issue.

    I read articles that said I had need of a homegroup, but that did not work.  Then I read an article saying since my computers running different operating systems, that I couldn't use a homegroup that I should use a workgroup.  I followed the instructions given in the article and which don't seem to work either.

    The names of working group on both computers are the same and so are the passwords.  The computer names are different.

    I was on the old computer and when I go into Windows Explorer, under network, I can see the two names listed, however, when I click on the other computer, I get a message saying that the computer is not on the network.  I got the internet service at the time so the router was working.  Another time I tried to copy a small file to the other computer and the message said I didn't have permissions to do so.  I got the same message when I tried to add a folder to the other computer in the network area in Windows Explorer.  I get the same types of messages when I try things peers, while on the new computer.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  So far, since I got the new laptop, I spent nearly three weeks, trying to get things to work.  This seems to be the biggest challenge of all.

    Hi Carole,

  • Working Group has missed! How can I remove the invader computer?

    I have a wireless home network connected through a Linksys wireless router.  A Vista, a XP laptop.  When my computer slowed last week I check the network and discovered another computer and multimedia device has been installed in my workgroup.  I searched all the help files without finding a way to remove them.  Can anyone help - I am desperate because I had all my personal and financial files set to 'share' so that my husband could access it from her computer!

    Hi JanetGodard,

    You can change the workgroup name, but do not forget to change the WORK group for all computers that you want on this network.

  • No reclassification of WRT54G to E3000 no access of local working group

    I'm trying to upgrade my WRT54G to the E3000.

    1 run the installer and all PCs (XP, Vista, W7), TV, TiVo can access the wired Internet or wireless with no problems.

    2. when I try and 'see the workgroup computers' it fails with the "workgroup is not accessible. You may not be authorized, path not found network"(it's the XP error, error Vista is slightly different)

    3. all PC's are pings

    4. I can access using network drives mapped previously or previously shortcuts other shared files installation PC.

    5. anyway I try and see computers on the network, it fails.

    Reconnect the WRT54G and everything works again. I tried the installer twice (after reset the router)

    I also disabled firewall.

    Here's what I did to finally solve the problem. What I read online Linksys is not very useful on this problem that many people have.

    First, I replaced my 54G with a 2 54 I had. PC acknowledged that the router was new and replace the network. All PCs were still on the workgroup 'WORKGROUP' and all the actions of PC can be found and were available as before.

    Then I reconnected it my E3000 and before PC and actions were not accessible.

    Working Group was still "WORKGROUP." Then I changed the Working Group of each PC with a new name, and after the restart, all PC actions are available. No change in the area of trust or any other changes to Norton.

    Only change required was to change all the readers of PC and network under a new name of working group.

    Clearly a problem with the E3000.

  • What thermal paste works well for Satellite A200?

    Hello

    I have the problem of heat for months. I have tried serval OCZ Freeze extreme conductivity compound thermal times there worked in the first week. But the second week, it became worse and worse until the laptop could not start. Someone has suggestions thermal in which the brand name paste works fine for Satellite A200?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    I didn't change the thermal paste on my laptop Toshiba still but on my desktop computer, I use Arctic Cooling MX-3. I also read some tests on the Internet on the thermal fat and MX - 3 is still a better. Grease thermal OCZ is also good but the Arctic Cooling surpasses the OCZ.

    In addition, it is also important to clean the surface of the heatsink and processor. So, I can recommend the ArctiClean cleaning kit. Use Google to find some online shops where you can buy it. If you can ensure that all of the old thermal grease is removed properly.

    Good bye

  • Working Group stopped after the installation of the new wireless router

    My working group stopped working after the installation of the new wireless router.  Router was switched were to move from DSL to fiber optic.

    I have a very simple home with two laptops working group, the two are connected with a wireless router.  A PC is running XP with the updates and service packs; the other PC is Windows 7 Home premium.  This working group was running without problems for a few years.  The Working Group has been used to share files between two laptops.  Internet access was through the DSL wireless router and print was with a wireless printer, without going through the working group.

    I had my DSL set out to free fiber optic last week, which meant that a new wireless router has been installed by my local phone company.  Internet works fine; wireless printer works.  The working group no longer works.  When I try to connect from XP to Win7 and I click on mode workgroup computers, I get this message:

    WorkGroupName is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

    The network path was not found.

    I tried to create a new working group, the new name for the same workgroup on both machines, but this did not help.  Working groups are supposed to be simple; This seems to be a problem on the new router - telco tech support says that nothing is stuck on the router. I don't believe them.

    What version of XP you use (Home or Pro)?

    Can you access the Win 7 a XP computer?

    You have identical accounts, passwords on both computers?

    If all that was done was to change routers without making any changes on the computers, the most likely cause of the problem is a third party (other than Windows) firewall on at least one of the computers.  Being by default, a router automatically assigns IP addresses to computers on your local network.  Different brands of routers, but use different address ranges.  For example, Cisco/Linksys routers typically use the 192.168 form addresses. 1.1 with 192.168. 1. 254, while the D-Link routers typically use 192.168.1 to 192.168.0.0. 254.  A firewall configured to allow only the first IP range blocks communication to the scope of the latter.

    So... What is the name and version of your anti-virus program?
    What other security software is installed?

    On every laptop computer, open a command prompt window
    for XP: start > run > cmd > OK
    for Win 7: type cmd.exe in the search box and press enter
    In the black command prompt window, type the following command and press enter
    ipconfig

    Please provide the values for the following for the adapter wireless of each computer
    IP (XP)
    IPv4 address (Win 7)
    Default gateway

  • How can I remove the wireless network settings and the Working Group?

    I used the Setup Wizard to establish them, and now I want to remove them completely.  I use Windows XP SP3.

    Hi 13emily,

    Try the step below to remove the connection to the computer's wireless network.

    (a) click Start, click Control Panel, and then click network connections.

    (b) right click on wireless network connection and then click Remove.

    To remove a network component

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/howto_remove_component.mspx?mfr=true

    When you set up a network, Windows automatically creates a workgroup and gives it a name. As we cannot delete a task force but if you rename the working group which will remove access to other computers.

  • Member of the Working Group, but ask for password field.

    I have a router dlink/access point. I run my laptop on the wireless. I have an Iomega hard drive attached by wire to the router. I'm trying to get my laptop. I see the hard drive on my network, but when I try to access to I get a window to enter my username and password. At the bottom it says "domain: laptop.» The network on my laptop settings specify the working group. Any suggestions? He also says "Windows security at the top of the window. I was wondering if there is somewhere in the Windows security I could turn it off?

    None of this worked after some trial and error, I found I had to set up a user account on the Iomega storage device and signature using that. Thanks for trying it. I can't be expected to know on an Iomega device. Now I have to find a way to use it as a print one server where my default admin. account is gone.

  • How to get ethernet workstation in the working group with wireless workstations

    All the g ' Day. I just purchased and installed a WAG120n annex a modem router with an Ethernet to port 1 and two wireless network cards. The problem is that I don't see the workgroup on the NETWORK ethernet card, and the two wireless network cards can not see the ethernet NIC however, I can find each NETWORK card using search. One of the network cards wireless can connect and connect to the ethernet NETWORK card, but when even it will appear in the working group - I have not yet tried with the other NIC wireless. How can I configure my router to allow all machines are? If this is of any help, is NETWORK card ethernet Intel Pro 100 V, wireless is Intel 2200 gb and the other NETWORK card wireless is a D-Link DWA 510. Gordon.

    Hi - I'm going to mark it as resolved: I realized that I was looking for something I didn't need. While I have 3 machines with capacities of networking of industrial quality, all I need is a P2P system. I had already activated beside the TCP/IP NetBEUI, simply because it worked wonderfully on my D-Link G604T GenII and NetBEUI is what you really need on a P2P. TCP/IP must remain, then we can access the internet and the router. We can easily map network drives - which has never been a problem - and I was systematically put out of service on each computer network browser Service to eliminate the 8003 errors that continue to occur. You don't need the network browser in a P2P... In any case, the new (financial) year approaches, have a happy! Gordon. Why doesn't the RichText? I activated in my settings!

  • Time for a new wireless router? Security no longer works

    My router has acted lately.  I did the Web page and two manual reset / original restore.

    I works very well without any security.  When I reset the password name & network security everything seemed normal.

    It now displays the new network name but should not be the new password, it appears immediately as "invalid security phrase.

    On the router to the wireless security, I have selected WEP, 128-bit, 26 hexagonal etc., entered my password, press on generate and then 'save settings '.

    Everything seems fine, but it does not accept the new password.  Again, this works fine without warranty, but I can't run like that.

    Can anyone help?

  • Work of the Working Group wired, but not with WAG160N wireless

    I have a Vista PC serving a printer shares and give a working group with Vista, XP and OS X machines. The Vista PC is connected to the gateway. They all have the same workgroup name. Features such as printing, hand access and visibility machine works only when the PC client is connected with ethernet cable, not of wireless. On my client Vista, the problem is the same when my IP address is DHCP or static. Any suggestions? It is a quite fundamental problem with wireless connectivity. The gateway is running the version of firmware 1.00.09

    It seems that the problem was with my software firewall of PC server.

    After replacing the WAG160N with another router modem of brand, I still had the problem.

    Disable my firewall deleted the question.

    My firewall appeared to treat differently wired and wireless customers!

    I had to manually enable files and printing, sharing, even if my home network was already defined as approved in the firewall configuration.

  • Windows Home Basic Edition does not connect to a grace wireless working group

    I'm running 3 computers on a workgroup that connects to the internet. A computer running Windows 7 Pro, another Windows XP Pro and the third is a laptop running Windows 7 Home Basic.  There are full between the 3 interoperability when connected via a LAN cable, even when the laptop is connected to the wireless router.  However, if I try to use the laptop without cable, it will connect to the router wireless as an unidentified Public network and therefore does not see the Working Group (and therefore there is no internet access).

    If I click on the icon of unidentified network in the center network & sharing, I expect to be able to select the type of network, I can use - i.e. knit - but instead I get a box indicating that it is a public network, unidentified without options.  I tried to use the difficulty Microsoft it 50725 - but he said he could not change the network settings and I should change in network settings - which I can't.

    In this mode, I can 'see' the laptop on the other two computers, but its network location is black (not the working group only when connected via cable) and if I try to open up the laptop I get an error message saying: it can not find the path.

    This is a recent problem that the system worked very well upward until a couple of there are days where I lost wireless connectivity. The signal strength is 100% (the router is normally less than 30 meters, although now is 1 meter away so I can plug the cable) and there is no other networks wireless within several km.  I have a total control through my browser to the router through the wireless link wireless, the material is so everything is OK - it takes a few adjustments to the software.

    Any ideas?

    Sorry for the delay in replying, I had problems to download all the drivers the most recent, but ultimately successful.

    Uninstall and reinstall the wireless card had no effect so I started the update or replacement of all other drivers as well.

    Replace the Bluetooth driver did the trick, even if it has been disabled in advance and it is always off - but for reasons that I doubt I'll never, understand which seems to have been the problem--for now

    Thanks for the advice - it always pays to be more radical than you ever thought necessary...
