Network discovery, file sharing settings keep changing by itself and Alltel to set the network location continues to ask the wireless device

former title: network location settings. Discovery of NW. File sharing. public folder sharing. AVG 9.0 'tools' and network connections.

My Alltel Wireless device again set the network location. And continues to change my network settings for the discovery of NW to:, as well as file sharing for: file public and sharing: read-only.  I have AVG Security 9.0 and under 'tools' and connections network shows several svchost with States reading service connections listening and unknown. I don't want no access to my computer and cannot find any computer consultants who can get this to stop. What can I do?

Hello
 
1. the options apply automatically on?
2. have you made changes on the computer recently?
3. have you installed any Alltel Wireless application to manage network connections?
4. What is the current network location type on? Is it home, work or public?
Network discovery and file sharing settings depend on the network location. For examle, if you set the network as a public location it turn on file sharing.  So I would ask you to turn all the parameters and then choose the type of network and check if the parameters change again.

Method 1.
I recommend you to check if the problem exists in clean boot. May be a third party application is causing these changes.
See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.
 
Method 2.
Also check the settings under tools in AVG security suite. You may need to check with the help of AVG on it.
Or you can disable the antivirus software and check if that causes this behavior.
Temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and check if the problem persists.
Disable the anti-virus software
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    You need to disconnect your old ID in System Preferences > iCloud > sign out and then sign in with your new code.

    You will also need to do this for iTunes, App Store, Messages, FaceTime, and books.

    To change your sharing settings go to iTunes > file > Colocation.

  • WINDOWS CANNOT FIND ANY ADDITIONAL NETWORK (DIAL-UP AND VPN) OTHER THAN THE WIRELESS NETWORK

    ehmm I just installed nokia 6600 pc suite on my computer so I can access the internet on my computer through the usb cable. Installation and drivers have been installed correctly. I can access the internet on the handset but when trying to connect to the internet via USB with the computer "I get a message that windows cannot find any additional network." Its really disturbing that I can do to fix this. Can someone help me please.

    Even if a USB device, it does not create a new network connection for you.  I fear also that you use a regular USB cable - those connections often require a crossover cable (but more on that later and I guess it should work it is how it is advertised).  Go to start / Control Panel / Network and sharing center / set up a connection or network / and choose the first option (you can also check the main page to see if the connection is listed but I doubt it).  Choose to set up a new connection and follow the instructions - ensuring that you enter the correct settings when it is required.  You should perhaps install device drivers, firmware and or software for the device to work properly - read the installation mode (and call technical assistance from Nokia to help you put in place - they know more about what we do and should be happy to guide you through the process and even to set the settings on your computer until you log - that's what I would do in your before circumstane even of) ask for help here).

    To start / Control Panel / Device Manager and check all the new drivers (double clck on them) to confirm that they say that they do not work properly.  Go to start / Control Panel / Add Haedware and have the system check new hardware devices - if it finds, install them (it is perhaps what is missing in this process).

    I hope this helps.  If nothiing suggested I bring, don't hesitate not to contact Nokia for assistance - I'm sure they'll have you place and operate at any time.  Keep me in the loop.

    Good luck!

  • Firewall Windows settings keep changing ~ I don't change them! HELP Please

    Recently, I noticed that to change my Windows Firewall settings, AND I'm not modify them.

    I set the Windows Firewall as follows:

    1. on the "Général" tab
    I ticked the boxes: 'On' (recommended) and "don't allow exceptions".
    2. in the tab 'Exceptions ':
    NO boxes are checked
    I ticked 'display a notification when Windows Firewall blocks a program '.
    3. on the "Advanced" tab
    ONLY "Connection to the Local network" is checked
    and under the 'Settings' button ICMP NO boxes are checked.

    Periodically, I notice that my "Network Icon" (two screens) is very active when I'm not navigate on the internet or by e-mail.  When I click with the right button on the icon and select "Change Windows Firewall settings", I note that the following changes have been made to my original settings, BUT NOT BY me!

    1. on the "Général" tab
    The box: 'On' (recommended) is checked
    BUT "don't allow exceptions" is now disabled
    2. in the tab 'Exceptions ':
    File sharing and printer is enabled
    AND "Display a notification when Windows Firewall blocks a program" is now disabled
    3. on the "Advanced" tab
    If I click on the box 'Connect to the Local network' that is always checked
    under ICMP, and go to the "Settings" button
    NOW, the first "Allow an incoming echo request" is checked.

    Earlier this week, I hadn't double checked if the parameters have changed and started printing a Word document, I had been editing.  Before the start of my print file, my printer started to print pages and pages of garbled text (just the letters and not readable ~ grabage).  After the cancellation of all the print jobs, I checked the Windows Firewall settings again, and they had been changed from the original settings that I had chosen, once again!

    The only way I can restore my original settings is to click on the default button on the tab "Advanced" and then double-checking the options I want.

    This happens at least 8 times a day and makes me crazy, because I am constantly having to check if the Windows Firewall settings are as I put them in the first place.  If they are not, I have to go through this process over and over again.  By making print a nightmare, but it's also annoying to have to keep control of the settings.

    Ask everything you big strong guys out there to give this 'small' a helping hand technique with this one, please.

    Thank you very much

  • File sharing settings

    I recently updated two of my Macs to El Capitan, and simply check the box under system preferences/sharing file sharing, I can share files between two Macs - wonderful back.

    However, I have an old Mac 10.5.8 Leopard who won't get upgrades and I can't seem to access its files from the new Macs. When I turn the sharing files in Leopard unit, that I can see it in the Finder under shared on the new Macs, however I can't connect from a unit - nothing happens when I click on "connect as" in the Finder. Now in the old unit I can access files on the part of the new units, but not the reverse.

    The good thing about El Capitan is that there is nothing to put under the menu sharing in system preferences. However the older Leopard unit, I 'Options' where I can select AFP, FTP and SMB sharing. I tried turning them on and in various combinations, but I can not just connected to the El Capitan units leopard machine.

    Any suggestions?

    Here's a hint, I restarted the old Mac and from the Finder when I double click on the old Mac from the side bar under shared I get this in a pop-up window:

    Cannot open "Of Tom Kiefer MacBook" because the original item cannot be found.

    The only option is to click OK.

  • my display settings keep returning on 2 screens at startup to the top

    I have attached a second monitor to my Sony laptop.  The 2d display monitor used to iterate through a docking station Kensington DisplayLink.  For some reason, the docking station picks up is no longer display for the #2--si monitor I recently started to connect the monitor directly #2 on my laptop.  Now every time I disconnect the monitor #2 to try to use the laptop with the Moose #1 display attached - after startup, it comes in white.  I discovered the Dungeon of display settings back to the #2 monitor, as the main display with the office displays only on the monitor #2 - it's why my laptop screen is blank - unless I'm reconnect the 2d display whenever I start.  But it is not practical and the net effect is that until this has been resolved I can't use my laptop away from my office.  I keep resettingt the display settings in the control panel to a single monitor, but it keeps going back to 2.  What is the solution?

    Hi, Msnsurf101,

    Check your settings in the Bios

    Procedures vary depending on the manufacturer of the BIOS. Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DEL, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer but before Windows starts. For more information, see the documentation provided with your computer or go to the website of the manufacturer of the computer.

    Warning

    Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

  • My names of files in Flash CS6 change every time I have save for the first time

    When I got Flash CS6, I worked on an animation and has called "grumpy." Now, 2 years later, whenever I'm doing a project in Flash and save it for the first time, he adds "": grumpy ' at the end of the file name. "

    For example, I'm working on a project now with the point leader name "2_1.fla segment." When I recorded it for the first time, it changed to "segment 2_1.fla*: grump.»  Adds it at the end of any project, regardless of the type (ActionScript 3.0 or 2.0).

    I have no idea why Flash is doing this, because this project is not connected to the original 'grumpy' somehow. I don't know how to remove it, either. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!!

  • How can I change PRINT > MARKS AND SAIGNER to include the size and location of the file?

    We are trying to create a physical catalog of signs and would like some kind of automation in each file with the location and the size of print.  Is it possible to customize this brands and appearing in the dialog impression of bleeding?  Is there a different way I could get the same result?

    Thank you.

    You probably want to use InDesign for that. Instead of each print file and combine them in a catalogue, place the files in a page in InDesign, generally there are several items per page, but it is up to you. You can add captions to your placed files (object > caption > caption installation), captions can pick up and include metadata of the placed file, including the path and of the size, among other things. There are also specific catalog software, but maybe it's more that you need.

  • Name of network problems; numbers and not showing in the wireless network ID

    In my network and sharing on the map at the top of the page Center, my wireless network is identified as Queensgate 2 on my Pavilion Entertainment PC (Vista). On my g7 series Pavilion, it is identified as Queensgate 3 (Windows 7). In the zone just below the map on two machines, the network is identified as Queensgate. Queensgate is the correct ID. There are no numbers on my SSID wireless router.

    When I connect to the network dialog box confirms the connection to Queensgate (no numbers).

    Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Frank

    Hi Frank,.

    I think I misunderstood what you rename, but seeing your description of what you have changed in Vista, I think I know what you need to do in Windows 7.

    Open the network and sharing Center.  Look at the icon in the middle of the network map - you should see the icon itself below the network card and to the left.  Click on this icon and you should be able to change the name of the network.  Click Ok after you change it and you should see the change immediately reflected in the network map.

    Kind regards

  • Windows 7: the search does not find the files that should be, directory is indexed and *.php included on the list of extensions

    Windows 7: search does not find the files that should be. I have indexed directory and *.php included on the list of extensions, but search can't find files for Word searches that I know there are files with these words in them.

    If you're frustrated by research (aka Desktop Search), you are not alone. Click the Start button and type find and click the button 'change the way Windows search'. Now click on the Advanced button and select the tab file types scroll down and find your type of file (in your case .php) and make sure the radio button "index properties and the content of the file" is selected for the file type.

    Out the form by clicking on the OK button, but do not close the form when you click the Advanced button.

    Then, you may need to change the indexing locations. If the folder where your files are located is not known for indexing search, then search is not even bother looking for here (a source of frustration for many users). Maybe your files are located on another drive or partition without the knowledge of the indexing engine. Using the options icon and select/deselect expand, make sure that at least the files of interest are included for the indexed locations. I hope this helps.
