Network connection between Windows 7 Pro and Windows XP Pro wireless

Nice day.

I am trying to connect to a Windows XP pro to a home wireless network, hosted by a pc Windows 7 Pro. I can see all the other PCs on the XP pc but cannot get them to connect. When I click the icon for the Windows 7 pc and try to log in (open) he asks a user name and password but I don't know what is the user name. I guess the password is generated by the computer windows 7, when I set up the homegroup. Would you please advise me on what to do to make this work. Thank you.

Hi ArnBas,

Looks like you are facing a problem with network computers. I came to find this documentation for you who speaks the networking of the various versions of the computers.

Just through the same thing and check if everything is fine with the settings. Also, take a look at this very useful information.

I hope this helps!

  • Network connections between VM and host is slow?

    I have problems with the speed between the host and the VM, connections is limeted and very slow. I'll open the file and copy and it's slowly. My OS is VISTA Business and VM on XP SP3. Connection between VM card is limited to me and see that trafficking is not very practical. If this can be rectified and speed up the connection between the virtual machine and the host.

    As I have written, you can use both at the same time. Just add a host connection only to the guest and make sure name resolution, host name (and the name of the client to the host) using the IP addresses assigned by DHCP VMWare Server for the host only (VMnet1, default) connection. The file "\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" ensures that this connection will be used, for example.

  • How can I manually remove a network adapter wireless, hidden and corrupt "Network connections" in Windows 7?

    I need to locate and remove a network hidden in Windows 7 device manually.  The device is called "Wireless network connection" but does not appear in network connections.  The reason why I know that its there is when I try to rename "Wireless Network Connection 2" to "Wireless network connection" I get an error that the connection already exists, even if the device has been uninstalled and is not listed.  I have to remove this connection because it is completely corrupt and preventing any wireless with a red X in the system tray.  The adapter works fine on another machine.  I tried showing hidden devices in device but Manager that has not worked.

    Open a command line window and type the following two lines:

    Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1
    Start devmgmt.msc

    In this special Device Manager window. in the menu, click view and then Show hidden devices

    Unwanted devices will appear dimmed. You right-click on them from there and uninstall them.

    Then return to your network center and rename your adapters for what you want without the sign #.

  • I can not get information about the location of the images geotagged - the message is "unable to establish a network connection to Windows Live Local". Previously, I had a lot. Suggestions? Thank you.

    After a lot of use of this feature of Pro Photo Tools to secure the location for my images geotagged information, I am not not able to do. The error message indicates, as seen above, I am unable to connect to "Windows Live Local." I have Windows XP Pro with service pack 3. I reinstalled Photo Pro and nothing has changed.

  • Losing network connectivity in Windows virtual machines

    We have a problem with Windows VM where they lose network connectivity after being inactive for some time.  After you go in vcenter server and log in to the virtual machines, they begin to respond to pings again.  For any reason but after they are inactive for a period of time, they stop responding to pings, which means that you will have to return in vcenter server and log, and then their network connectivity is restored.  I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem or have any suggestions.

    Looks like the virtual Windows machine has an option like

    "allow the nic to the power power off in case of inactivity"

    permit.

    Unfortunately, I get the same problem each time.

    After installing the software I match my helmet on the bluetooth receiver, it by default 0000, sometimes it matches sometimes it breaks down I don't know why.

    While using the bluetooth for windows software stack I see my device bluetooth and double left click to establish the connection.
    Green and yellow pipes connection icon light upwards and the unit begins to operate but between 20-25 second later the connection drops leaving only a gray helmet icon, he does this every time and so far I have not been able to use my headset.

    I tested the headset with a bluetooth phone and everything works very well and took the floor for plantronics who informed me to contact toshiba, I tried to talk to Toshiba support, but they say that they do not support the product. The headphone and usb battery is new.

    The product of the stack of blue tooth code is P/N-ADE-C1EDR.

    I'm not on a wireless network, but I have a logitech mx900 bluetooth mouse and a Logictech G7 wireless mouse.
    I tried the blue tooth usb device in different USB2 locations, including a new PCI USB2 card that I added.

    If anyone can help suggest to fix my problem, I'll be extremely Grateful.

  • Establishing a socket connection between a .swf file and a current-test program (TCP/IP generator - Windows), in AS3.

    I have a problem with a college project, I'm trying.

    Using Actionscript 3, I did a program simple .swf, a smiley face, lively and interactive, which "reacts" number entered in an input box.

    For purposes of this project, I now do the framework for establishing a connection socket with the smiley .swf and another program.

    That's where I run into problems. I have very little knowledge of the AS3 programming, so I'm not sure how the connection - what is required for it, it is.

    To test the connection, I try to use the "TCP/IP builder" program for windows, which allows me to set up a server socket. I need to program the .swf file into a client - to recognize, connect to it, then be able to receive data (so that data then allows for the smiley "react" him--like how he does now with the input-box, 'automatically' as it gets the data, rather than by manual input).

    My attempts at codification it are as follows, with the help of a tutorial (link HERE):

    INSERT HERE THE SOCKET STUFF

    //****************************************************************

    var socket:XMLSocket;

    Stadium. addEventListener () MouseEvent. ( CLICK, doConnect ();

    It connects to the local port, 9001 and applies event listeners

    ( function doConnect ()evt:MouseEvent():void

    {

    Stadium. removeEventListener () MouseEvent. ( CLICK, doConnect ();

    socket = new XMLSocket()'127.0.0.1', 9001);

    outlet. addEventListener () Event. ( CONNECT, onConnect();

    outlet. addEventListener () IOErrorEvent. ( IO_ERROR, onError ();

    }

    This locates the connection (allows us to see what has happened or failed)

    function onConnect () evt:Event():void

    {

    trace ("Connected"();

    outlet. removeEventListener () Event. ( CONNECT, onConnect();

    outlet. removeEventListener () IOErrorEvent. ( IO_ERROR, onError ();

    outlet. addEventListener () DataEvent. ( DATA, onDataReceived ();

    outlet. addEventListener () Event. ( NARROW, onSocketClose ();

    Stadium. addEventListener () KeyboardEvent. ( KEY_UP, keyUp ();

    }

    ( function onError() evt:IOErrorEvent():void

    {

    trace ()"Login failed"();

    outlet. removeEventListener () Event. ( CONNECT, onConnect();

    outlet. removeEventListener () IOErrorEvent. ( IO_ERROR, onError ();

    Stadium. addEventListener () MouseEvent. ( CLICK, doConnect ();

    }

    Here, the flash titles what keyboard key.

    If you press 'q', the connection ends.

    ( function keyUp() evt:KeyboardEvent():void

    {

    if (evt. ( keyCode == 81( ) / / key for q code is 81

    {

    outlet. Send ("exit");

    }

    on the other

    {

    outlet. Send (evt. keyCode );

    }

    }

    It must manage the data that we get from the server.

    ( function onDataReceived ()evt:DataEvent():void

    {

    try {

    trace ()"Server:", evt. data );

    }

    catch (e:Error) {

    trace ('error');

    }

    }

    ( function onSocketClose ()evt:Event():void

    {

    trace ()"Closed connection"();

    Stadium. removeEventListener () KeyboardEvent. ( KEY_UP, keyUp ();

    outlet. removeEventListener () Event. ( NARROW, onSocketClose ();

    outlet. removeEventListener () DataEvent. ( DATA, onDataReceived ();

    Try to connect to the Jack gives me no result (other than a "Connection failed" message when I click the .swf) or the following error message:

    Error #2044: unhandled securityError:. text = Error #2048: security sandbox violation: file:///C|/Users/Marko/Desktop/Završni/Flash%20documents/Smiley%5FTCP%5FIP%5Fv4.swf cannot load data from 127.0.0.1:9001.
    to the Smiley_TCP_IP_v4_fla::MainTimeline/doConnect()()[. Smiley_TCP_IP_v4_fla ] [MainTimeline: frame1:12]

    127.0.0.1 could be supported through your HTTP software, I'm not familiar with the tool you are using. It could also have been show in your hosts file (in Windows you will find here: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc). Check to see if something is the substitution of 127.0.0.1 (local loop).

    Apart from that, I've given you source to a rapid AIR server that has just opened a listener to 127.0.0.1:8910 so you would need no other tools to test the client, even if you have a. I just include the source and a product AIR installer so you can reproduce them to see that I do anything malicious. The Server.air file must be "installed" to test it. When you double-click it, it is a Setup. He moved to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Server (should have called something less common in hindsight). It also has a checkbox to run it after installation. If you don't you will see the server pop up a standard window of 550 x 400 with a text inside the box there letting you know that it is listening. Everything connects, messages (channels) and disconnects the will displayed in the Server text box.

    The customer is the only SWF file, you must run, after 'something' listening on the IP address and port configure you with.

    Here is a picture to show you the server is not running in the same folder the SWF did, tell the server and it only run the client exactly how I should it look like all together:

    I'll show you that after running the Server.air Installer, here is the the path of the executable file is running from and the client SWF isn't here. No problem connecting despite being in different places.

    The server is running and says that it is listening on 8910. Feel free to modify the source and reproduce for a different IP/port.

    -J' open the Client.FLA and just run. It creates a new socket, add headphones, connects to 127.0.0.1:8910.

    -The server responds that he sees and accepts the client connection. The server sends a message "connected." (10 bytes) to the customer immediately.

    -The client receives data (String), he draws. The customer sniffs for this specific message, and then sends the server a string "thanks for the connection!

    -The server receives and is coded only to echo the string in the "Echo - thank you to connect!" back to check that the chain is correct.

    -The customer receives the echo of servers (30 bytes), he draws.
