• Can not see my home group of Surface

  I saw the other messages from users Surface difficult to join a homegroup, what they can see from their Surface, but I can't even see my homegroup.  My Surface just says: ' there is no homegroup this network. "  I have two Windows 7 PCs and a laptop Windows 7, who are all members of the homegroup, so there's no doubt!  I tried to run the troubleshooting of the homegroup on the two PCs running the homegroup and the Surface, but have made no difference.

  I managed to solve this problem.  I have no idea if this is typical, or which may have helped him.  It is a new Surface, try to join an established Win8 homegroup on a common wireless LAN working group.

  The problem was double.

  (1) back to your homegroup machine and VERIFY that in Control Panel, for private networks (assuming that yours is) this sharing is turned on indeed.  For some reason, mine had been extinguished.

  (2) I found on my Surface the Microsoft Windows "Services" utility, had been decommissioned. Why? Who knows! But it was and I don't.  I'm thinking that convenience store Msft could have...  To conclude that 'Service', I was in the management of the computer and watched what was enabled and disabled under Microsoft.  I turned it on and BANG, I couldn't access machines shared via the network and residential groups.

  NOTE! Homegroup may take a long time, and even a reboot before it seems to suddenly see "everything".  Maybe it's a slow indexer. I do not know.  But if you can see the homegroup files, but cannot access it, give him a day and a reboot before you throw in the towel.

  Good luck.

  Hello

  I think that you must make sure that you ve enabled the + network discovery + on all computers.

  Network discovery is a network setting that determines if your computer can find other computers and devices on the network and whether other computers on the network can see your computer.
  By default, Windows Firewall blocks network discovery, but you can activate it.

  Here's how a nice HowTo from Microsoft to the + enable or disable network discovery.

• Moved from home office computer. Try to connect to the home network. Working Group changed now it won't let me connect you to Windows. It is the search for field. What can I do now?

  My TI guy told me to do the following...

  go to my computer, and then click Properties. Then go in the name of the computer from a network to a working group. I entered the name of my working group. Then it tells me to restart so I did.

  Now when I try to get into windows that connect, when I enter the username and password he tells me to check and make sure that they are correct and check the field. It does give me an option to choose a domain.

  BTW - Windows XP Professional is installed on the PC.

  Not good.

  When you remove a computer from a domain, and put in a workgroup, you must ensure that you have a local user account with administrative privileges created on the machine before removing the domain.  Maybe the built-in Administrator account will work, but in most domain environments, the default password [White] is replaced by a different password.  Microsoft has an article that deals with this:

  "You can not connect after you remove the computer from the domain.
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/317049 >

  Your technician COMPUTER should have known this would be a problem.  If you are a novice user and you can not access the built-in Administrator account, then your best bet to get must return to the domain and have your guys IT re - join to the domain.  Make sure you have a local user with administrative privileges created before withdrawing again to the field.

  Note that you normally will not have to remove a computer from a domain to make it work in a home-networking environment (working group).  You should be able to connect using the credentials cached [field] and your home network must always be visible to you.

  Hello rongould6373, you should be able to set up a home network, but you would need to have at least two computers connected to a network or a network router.

  I do not use the host network, but a working network. This seems to work better for me.

  The network name must be the same on all systems on the network. You must also open the network and sharing to set up the network and share systems to connect to the other (s).

• Sharing files on home network - Vista Home Premium 32 and 64

  Hello people,

  I searched for hours, I made countless different steps to try to understand this point, and yet I'm still far away.
  I have two computers on my home network.
  -Machine 1 is Vista Home Premium 32-bit and is connected via a wired connection to my NetGear router.
  -Machine 2 is Vista Home Premium 64-bit and is connected via a Wireless connection to my NetGear router.
  I have a WD WorldBook connected to the Machine 1 via USB and I would like to be able to access it through my home network on Machine 2.
  Here are my settings that may be useful to know.
  Machine 1:
  -Cable
  -Network: NotURInterwebs (private network)
  -Working Group: DISCOVERY
  -The discovery of the network: WE
  -File sharing: WE
  -Public folder sharing: OFF
  -Printer sharing: OFF
  -Password protected sharing: WE
  -Media Sharing: OFF
  Machine 2:
  -Wireless

  -Working Group: DISCOVERY
  -The discovery of the network: WE

  -File sharing: WE

  -Public folder sharing: OFF

  -Printer sharing: OFF

  -Password protected sharing: WE

  -Media Sharing: OFF
  If I go into start-> network on the Machine 2 I see the other computer and the router, but when I click on the Machine 1 I get the following text:

  However, when I go to start-> network on computer 1 and click on Machine 2, I have no problem connecting.
  Does anyone have an ideas that could help me understand what is happening?
  Thank you!

  What antivirus application do you use?

  I suggest to change firewall security settings, or disable the security software on the system and try to access the location.

  Method 1:

  Disable the firewall on the Machine 1 and check the status of the issue.

  Enable or disable Windows Firewall

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

  Note: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall is enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

  Note: In addition to a firewall, you must also be an antivirus and anti-malware program to help protect your computer. Install Microsoft Security Essentials or another antivirus and anti-malware program and update it. Many of these programs update automatically.

  Method 2:
  Error code 0 x 80070035 indicates that the network path was not found. This problem occurs if the NetBIOS over TCP IP is not enabled in Windows Vista. Please follow the steps below.

  (a) click on «Start», enter "NCPA. CPL"(without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  (b) right click on the connection you use for the local connection, and then click "Properties".

  (c) click on the button continue to check the permission of the administrator.

  (d) click to select 'Protocol Internet Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' and then click 'properties '.

  (e) click on the button "Advanced" in the opened window. On the "WINS" tab, select 'Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP' and then click 'OK' to save the setting.

  The following article presents NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

• Home LAN in the network as 'Unidentified network' and position the 'Public' profile in black - cannot be changed.

  I have two systems running W/7 Home Premium - in both LAN I setup for my home network is presented as 'Unidentified network' and is set to the 'Public Profile ' represented in black, which can not be changed. I cam change the name of the local network that is displayed correctly, but nothing else. I tried to use just the TCP/IP 4 and setting static IP addresses, who worked on these systems using Vista, without success. I tried to use TCP/IP 4 and 6 without setting static IP addresses - again without success. Looking at the forum for discussions on what I have not been able to find a solution to the problem. There are two systems.

  I fixed it after many hours. Here is my situation and my workaround. It will be useful.

  At home, I have 2 internet broadband connections. One is ADSL (20 Mbps) behind a router with DHCP and the second is cable (120 Mbps) directly behind the modem (public IP to the computer). Both lines go to my Mediacenter PC that is always on and running the Kerio control (https://www.kerio.nl/products/control/). Kerio is a router function software that supports the binding switch. As you can see, having a working internet connection is essential for me. A third network interface card is configured with a static IP (192.168.3.1), Kerio is running a DHCP server on it and is connected to my home network.

  I did two things, but I think the real trick is the second. Anyway, the first step was that I ran the Powershell script mentioned in the http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dimeby8/archive/2009/06/10/change-unidentified-network-from-public-to-work-in-windows-7.aspx . Works on all networks unidentified to the networks work. Well, not either but the Group residential don't start on work networks!

  Windows 7 detects your home network by looking at its front door. Because I was running router/gateway on the same PC, I don't fill out the IP Address of the gateway. So, he won't give the popup to identify the network and you won't be able to put it manually at home. Also, I forgot to do it in the script.

  Setting of the gateway to the static IP address also did not work because Windows deletes the address of the gateway (192.168.3.1) after pressing OK. My Tip: Add a second IP address for the network card. For example 192.168.3.254. Then leave the main IP (in my case 192.168.3.1) and set the IP of the gateway to the second IP (192.168.3.254). A few seconds later, Windows will address the context menu and select "Home network" and you're done!

• Difference between "Home network" and "Business Network" WITHOUT a domain name in Windows 7?

  I'm paranoid and always try to choose security options more high.  In preparation for the implementation of a small Windows 7 network behind a NAT router wireless and wired, I'm working through "Microsoft Windows 7 in depth" by Cowart and Knittel (what, rights of copyright 2010).  I fell right on the following steps (mentioned verbatim in p. 446-447), that I don't understand.  (The steps are clear enough but the real difference between the first two choices is not.) :

  «.. . Click on change settings, click Network ID...  You are prompted to select the option that best describes your computer:

  • This computer belongs to a network of business; I use it to connect to other computers at work.
  • This computer is a computer at home; It is not part of a corporate network.

  «That one you choose made a significant difference...»  If you choose the option "Business Network", Windows configures your computer for a better level of security it will be for domestic use [my underlining].  The wizard then asks you choose one of the following responses:

  • My company uses a network with a domain name
  • My company uses a network without a domain name

  «.. . If you build your own network as described in this chapter, select a field, then click Next.  The last question asks a name for the network working group.  Leaving the WORKING group by default in place".

  It seems that you can set up a "Business Network" 'without a domain' that outward behaves as a similar "home network".  If Yes, what is this 'higher standard of security' that will result? -JCW2

  There is only one difference between home network and profiles work that appears when you sign in for the 1st time.

  A profile of home network allows to create or join a homegroup, on a job profile that you can not. So what it means actually using the term "business" is false and the differences in security are limited.

  One of the limitations of a workgroup can access one action requires the credentials of all users to set up on the host pc, setting up a homegroup automatically creates a common user between computers that could be considered a low security setting...

• Adding a printer already installed on the pc for the home group network

  Setting up a shared printer

  "The most common way to make a printer available to a home network is traditionally to connect to one of the computers and then tell Windows to share it. This is called a shared printer.

  The advantage of sharing a printer is that it works with any USB printer. Side tilted? The host computer must always be fed up, otherwise the rest of the network will not be able to access the shared printer. »

• Two questions - cannot save the printer shares with the error code 0x000006d9 and part of the Machine is not accessible from the network of working groups

  I think this are problems, but here is the separately questions, first of all - the basics:

  4 PC network using the working group with two Windows 7 (ultimate) and two xp.  Everything worked fine with the a previous vista / xp 3 network.  All except the Windows 7 Desktop behave well. The network is connected with a modem cable to a 5XT netscreen NS (firewall hardware to the outside and the inside hub), a netgear wireless access point and Windows workgroup use (as mentioned above).  Name all is correct on all machines, all the discovery settings are in place and each has Norton Internet security for its local protection services. Upgrades of Windows 7 have been computer vista laptop connected wireless and wired desktop previously running XP Professional sp3.  XP conversion was assisted on the desktop of the wizard upgrade Laplink PC Mover.  Applications executed in appearance on the two level computers.

  On the desktop - I can't share printers. When I use "networks and printers" in the start menu to share on a printer I get code 0x000006d9 error saying something like the configuration cannot be saved.  All local jobs printing works well.

  On the desktop - the name of the computer records also of all as on the network (it is discovered and mapped by each PC) but when I try to access it from any other machine I get a general error says something like "check your spelling of the name mannequin." This desktop computer Win 7 can browse shared folders on the network of and write about everything.  Somewhat added data - this device can ping all others in the network sucessfully but none get a ping successfully into the offending machine either with ip address or computer name (times out waiting for a response or said the name is not found).  He himself can ping successfully.  It accesses the internet very high hand.

  Solutions have been attempted without a firewall (Firewall Norton Smart Internet - 2010), with the firewall and various changes to authorization.  A final discovery was that Windows Firewall will not allow because BFE is not able to start - error 5 - access denied (this was discovered by train to allow a possible solution because of some internet chatter that the Windows Firewall must be running to implement shared printers).  All other dependencies are running to get a break on why BFE is not (it turns on the Win 7 laptop as well as the firewall).  Authorizations have been verified in the registry for settings of firewall and BFE (ports, permits, etc.) have also been looked at with a very critical eye.  SFC has been run with no problem.  All ports for net drivers, Win 7 networking and other actions are open in the firewall.

  Then people - I did some internet research and I tried a lot of suggested solutions nothing doesn't.  My apologies in advance if a person provides a solution and I say "tried".  Any help is very appreciated

  You can mark this as resolved problem!
  The program involved, causing this error is firewall Windows, here is what you need to do to fix this...
  If like me you have disabled windows firewall, I use Security Suite of ZoneAlarm, you will need to re-enable the firewall to share the printer.

  If you have disabled or turned off the Windows Firewall. (and in my case this error was caused by exactly that)
  Step #1 - disable any other firewall can be installed. Stop to load at startup and restart your PC.

  Step #2 - go to the tools of Admin folder > Services > Windows Firewall > double click and is it set to manual or automatic and keep it.

  Step #3 - open Control Panel > system & security > Windows Firewall > enable or disable the Windows Firewall > (Enable) turn on the Windows Firewall > save
  Then go to Restore Defaults > click on restore default button > save
  (you only do this IF you have changed the settings of the firewall, but it is always a good idea and will ensure that there are no problems during the proceeding)

  Step #4 - click Control Panel Home > view devices & Printers > Select / click on your printer > screen printer properties > share > share this printer > OK

  Step #5 - go back to firewall Windows and the tower he walks back > save

  Step #6 - go back to Services > and the Manual value Windows Firewall (or turn it off if you want, I recommend the manual)

  Step #7 - reboot and re-enable your firewall preferred to start at startup > Reboot

  Step #8 - take a deep breath and sigh of relief! :)
