Need help to set up a network between two Windows 7 computers

I have two Windows 7 computers at home: one is a desktop computer that is connected directly to the internet (with a network cable), and the other is a laptop computer that is not directly connected to the internet with a network cable.  We have a configuration of wireless network for your laptop is set up of this network and has internet access.

What I want to do is set up a network between the two of them, so that the laptop can access the printer that is directly connected to the desktop computer.  I got this configuration when both computers are Windows XP, but since we their past to Windows 7 I can not it works.  I tried to create a home network, I set the printer on sharable and given him a name, but I can't access it on the laptop.

The printer is actually a photocopier, but it is directly connected to the desktop computer.  In fact, it is connected to the router than the phone company provided.  But we want the laptop to be able to access it and use it.  As I said, we had this configuration when these computers are computers Windows XP, but I tried following the instructions to do this for Windows 7 and I can't make it work.

Also, I'm not that computer savy, so please if you tell me to run a program it please tell me how to find and launch this program.

Thanks for any help.

Hello

Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

Before you start with the troubleshooting steps, I would need some information on the subject, so that we can better help you.

  1. What happens exactly when you try to access the shared printer on the network home?
  2. You receive an error message/code?
  3. Have you tried sharing the computer and using collective housing resources?

As you mentioned, you can share printer for two other computer running on Windows 7, you can check the items below that will provide you with information on how to work with the host group, and also another article that will you provide steps on how to share a printer on the network.

Homegroup from start to finish

Share a printer

Hope that the information provided is useful. Let us know in case you need additional assistance.

Thank you.

  • Need help with the use of beam between two subVis

    Hi all

    I have two inside a big Vi subVis that need to be connected one to the other.

    It's a complicated thing, I already have many sons in the wholesale Vi, which will become a mess if I connect these two subVis line-by-line (there are nearly 16 lines between them).

    I tried bundle but failed two times (basically I don't know how to connect the wires grouped source Subvi the slot - VI intended).

    Could someone give me an idea?  A simple example of VI would be useful.

  • Need help to set up an acquisition of two channels using NI5154

    Hello experts NOR:

    I'm setting up a scanner high speed data acquisition NI5154. I have two data channels need to be measured. In fact only the waveforms in the channel 1 must be recorded and channel 0 is used for counting digital pulses.

    My goal is like this: once started, the digitizer should count the digital pulses in channel 0 for some time until a start trigger happened in the channel PFI_0. After receipt of the beginning in the channel PFI_0 relaxation the digitizer should switch to channel 1 and start captured signals and save them to the disc.  After a well-defined time, stop digitier the acquisition in channel 1 and then switch to channel 0 and repeat as cycles.

    my questions are: what the best way to count the Digital pulse channel 0 ? The only way I know is the source of reference on channel 0 command and then get the number of "Done Records" from the property node.  After the acquisition of the digitizer will be waiting for the trigger to start in the channel PFI_0, no pulse in the channel 0 will be counted. If I let the impulses in channel 0 not counted in the first cycle, at the end of each cycle how can I switch from channel 1 channel 0 and saitch return after receiving the trigger from the beginning? It seems that I have to configure the trigger repeatly system.


  • Between two Windows 7 computers to sync Outlook 2010?

    Specifically, my aim is to synchronize "Outlook 2010" calendar, Contacts (including 5 subdirectories), tasks, and notes between 2 computers on Windows?

    I have a desktop computer and a laptop. Both Windows 7 and Outlook 2010.  Both are on my home group.  I currently use the Briefcase to synchronize specific Document files between the two computers.

    (I'm currently syncing my Palm Treo 850 to my desktop, then to my lapstop via Mobile Device Center but the Outlook Contact (5) subfolders used to synchronize without new version Pocket PC 2010 - not yet published.) Only the main folder synchronization / by default.  Therefore, I must find a new solution until the Pocket PC 2010 is available for a full synchronization.  Unfortunately, new mode sync from computer to computer could exclude them have Outlook Contact subfolders on my phone well.)

    Help?

    Gwen

    The key element to keep Outlook in sync on both machines is the. PST file. It contains everything. If you want your home Outlook even as your work in Outlook, make a copy of the. PST file to work (make sure that Outlook is closed when you do this), take the said copy home with you, set a folder where it will not overwrite your existing. PST file, then open it with Outlook using ' file | Open | Outlook data file "."  You now have two options:

    1. drag and drop what you want to work. PST at home. PST to their doing the same thing or,
    2. this new set. PST default file and just continue to use it.

    There are a number of third-party tools that will do the synchronization, as see you in the link that I sent, but most cost money.

    On the cell phone, you have reached the limit there is no way to sync subfolders of Contacts; It is a limitation of Windows Mobile and has no good workaround solution.

    need help to set up Linksys printserver with verizon wifi hotspot

    pfsjmhall,

    Configure your wireless router to use these recommended wireless router settings, I use channel 11. I would use a new SSID to connect easier.

    Then configure the Linksys print server. Find your network to give your passkey (password)

    Then set up the printer, choose network and follow the instructions.

  • Build a private network between two physical hosts in ESXi 4.0 for VM guests

    Hi all

    I am a newbie in the use of VMWare ESXi for my company testings and I have a question on networks

    in ESXi. In fact, I always do my tests in my VMware Workstation, and it's pretty easy to build a virtual

    private network between two guests of computer virtual and it needed to do more real testings on ESXi environment.

    But now I have two Dell servers mounted and with two ESXi 4.1 installed on these servers.

    Each server has two network cards connected to the same network switch.

    In this essay, I have to install a RAC Oracle 11 g as guests of virtual computer on two separate server Dell for

    two RAC nodes.

    The installation Guide for the PAP, I need to build a network between two nodes.

    My superficial knowledge network, the private network address is not the same as

    the public network address, in this case, the IP address provided by the network switch is

    10.1.10.X and it should be public network address.

    In this case, how can I do the private network of ESXi settings?

    I do the settings of the network switch? I'm not the guy of networking and really

    want your expertise in this area.

    If you have an idea or experience to share, please kindly help.

    Thank you very much

    Then private network can be established between NIC (N1) and NIC (N2) with address 192.168.1.X

    Yes, that's correct. It would have made you have a private network layer 3 between the two guests in the 192.168.1.x address range.

    In general, you also want to isolate a layer 2 (ethernet) with the VLANS on the physical switch, but if this is not possible at this time then it could be implemented now and you could later add VLAN in the switch.

    It is also the reason why I think you should create a new portgroup on the same vSwitch as other existing exchanges. If you later configure VLAN to the physical switch, it will be very easy to activate this on the "private" portgroup
