  Hi Malharsire and thanks for posting!

  First of all you can try disabling IPv6 on your PC.

  To do this:

  1. Start > Control Panel > view network status and tasks (under network and Internet)
  2. Has chosen to manage network connections in the left menu
  3. Right-click on Local area connection and select Properties
  4. In the pop up box, uncheck the following:
     • Internt Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
  5. Click OK, and then RESTART your computer

  I hope this helps!

• Simple network file sharing XP Home Edition

  I have windows XP Home Edition 2007 Service pak 3. I can't share files on the network. In the network > tools > there is no file simple file sharing check box

  "Simple file sharing" is applied (always enabled) for Windows XP Home editions.  Only XP Pro editions can disable Simple file sharing.  This does not mean that you can not share files.  Generally, you share folders simply by doing a right click on a folder and selecting:
  Properties-> sharing (tab)-> share this folder.

  You must also have the file sharing and printer installed and active on your computer.  More about here:
  "You can not access the shared files and folders or browse computers in the workgroup with Windows XP"

• File sharing between 'Vista Home Premium' on desktop PC and 'Windows 7 Starter' on laptop

  Hello

  I have a desktop under Vista Home Premium PC.

  I would use my laptop, Windows 7 Starter, to access the files/folders on my desktop running.

  The existing guidelines of Microsoft tells me to select one of the three options on the 'Remote' tab in the 'System properties' window, you get to via the settings 'distance' in the 'System' part of the 'system and safety' in the control panel.

  However, the "three options", to which it refers do not, appear on my phome PC or laptop.

  Exactly how you set this to the top!

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  Since you have a network with Win 7 and the other version of Windows, you must configure Windows 7 as work network.

  In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

  Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

  I am running Vista x 64 Home Premium and have recently had problems with my file sharing-printer sharing network discovery-Media Sharing.

• Cannot open and view the files on a Vista Home Premium 32-bit networking machine

  My laptop running Vista Home 32-bit pre SP2 has been networked with my desktop running XP V2002 Pro SP 3 for a long time.  Until recently, the files were shared back without problem.  After a Windows Update, a few days ago my Vista machine keep gel.  After a diagnosis, I have disabled some startup software Google and McAfee and services programs and did a system restore to March 31 to resolve the problem of gel.   However, I can't restore the capacity on the laptop of Vista file sharing.  This Vista laptop is able to ping the XP machine and see and access the files on the XP machine.  But the XP machine can't Ping the Vista laptop (application expires) and when you click on the list of the Vista laptop for the task force on the XP machine, it gives the error message \\Laptop 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 various fixes suggested.  All have failed. (1) turned power off the modem cable & wireless router, restarted and connected the modem and router computers in after the computer restarted. (2) Turned off all 3rd party software and even restarted the laptop Vista in safe mode with network.  Could not even Ping the laptop of Vista on the XP machine or access the notebook icon in the Working Group in MyNetwork places. (3) Made that exception file sharing and printer is selected in the Windows Firewall settings. (4) checking network and sharing Center.  Discovery of the network, file sharing, sharing public folders, & Printer Sharing set on "On".  Sharing still protected by password set to 'Off '. (5) group named network WORKING Group on both machines. (6) the fact that individual records are always set to 'share '. (7) in the properties of wireless network connections, Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) has been disabled. (8) has a netsh winsock reset on the Vista laptop.   Am I missing something else? This problem would go away if I have upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 on the laptop / Windows 7 can network with a XP Pro machine? Thanks to all those who have ideas on what the problem may be.

• Impossible to activate permanent "network discovery and file sharing" in advanced sharing without turning windows firewall at the wide service.

  Environment:

  I have a workgroup Windows 8 pro PC with all updates from Windows update. The PC is connected via WiFi (home) to a router (the same thing happens if I am connected to the router directly via RJ45). It's my "private network (NAT). I have the Windows Firewall is enabled in its default configuration. I use "Windows Defender" as my protection\firewall of virus software.  "When I go to: change options for sharing different network profiles" under advanced sharing options. I try to turn on file sharing and network discovery in the private profile. It shows that "the private sector is the current profile. The radio button lights. However, when I go to the file Explorer / network I got the message ' network discovery and file sharing are turned off. " The network computers and devices are not visible. Click here to change... " I click to change, however when I click to change it keeps returning and gives me the same message. I then go in ""network control and Internet\Network and sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings " and the option buttons in private profile for the network discovery and file sharing are turned off."

  If I turn off the Windows Firewall. Everything works. I need to open a hole in the windows firewall for 2 applications was discovered and network file sharing. I opened rather not just blindly ports. However, if this is the only solution, what ports do I need open.

  Hi all

  I have exactly the same problem.  (and I'm not the only one. - There are many!) The problem does not lie with the Windows Firewall. If I turn it off, discovery network and file sharing is turned on-tour he turn it back on and its all disabled subsequently and the rest of the way.  I've been round and round the forums of the world looking for a solution but still find a definitive answer. Can certain software engineering in Microsoft Please arrive at the correct answer.

  Thank you very much

• Domestic network file share is slow

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with a slow flow on my LAN, my main office and another office in a nearby room, which is used as a digital recorder. Both are fine Internet download about 2.0Mbps + effective flow. But the copy of the files between them (which should be a lot faster!), I'm moving 400 to 500 Kbps. Since one is used as a digital video recorder, it is a problem, try to copy large video files, or stream videos in HD quality on my network who stutters. It's frustrating getting the best quality watch Netflix, than from another computer in my own home.

  Both have compatible 802.11n wireless NIC; one is a card PCI Rosewill RNX-N300, and the other is a TP-LINK WN951N PCI - E card. I use the Atheros drivers on the machine of TP-LINK; on the other hand, it seems that Atheros does not support the Rosewill cards very well, so it is the driver of stock. Even on the TP-LINK machine; using the factory instead of Atheros driver, doesn't seem to help. My router is configured for WPA2 802.11n 'Mode of Performance '. I also tried Compatibility Mode and everything else I can think.

  I realize that the Atheros drivers are not supported here, but I don't think it's relevant, as the factory, or native Windows 7 generic NIC drivers appear to have the same problems. I tried to minimize interference with cards, which usually get 3-4 of 5 bars. WAN speed being much faster, I doubt that's the issue. Wired ethernet is out of the question for me, but pretty much the same speed powerline adapters, seems no better/worse. LAN ping times are 1-2 ms.

  Is there something I'm missing here? Both machines are running Windows 7 Pro x 64. I wonder if there is a key "reg" to the packet size or anything else that might help. I would chalk up to the nature of wireless cards, if it wasn't for much better WAN speeds. I believe that it is a problem of operating system settings; all other devices on the network, continue to get faster internet blazing ascent/descent speeds, even though the slow file copies/streaming are underway.

  Thanks for your suggestions.

• 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.

• Problem with wireless - Vista Network and Sharing Center does not recognize my connection!

  I use the Home Visa software and my network and sharing Center does not recognize my connection but I can access the internet without any problem. Previously, I was using a wireless router Linksys with an old box of AT & T internet with no problems. The problems started after I updated my AT & T internet box that made obsolete the linksys router and now the network share does not connect. I just have the problem of getting the network and sharing device recognizing that I am actually connected to a wireless network. I can't use my printer or share files with other people. I can't get my wireless printer to work if I restart my computer and I have the documents I want printed already sent to the printer. My network and sharing Center also works very well for a few seconds when I start my computer then it turns off again.

• Vista do not you answer ping - file sharing also stopped working

  Greetings!
  I have problems with my windows vista computer. It can access the internet, load the pages and other servers, ping, but he stopped answering the ping requests and file sharing has stopped working (other computers cannot access its actions).
  -J' have already disabled the two firewalls (both windows and f-secure).
  -If I run wireshark, I can see the Ping ICMP requests (as they arrive at the machine), but ignores them (no ICMP response).
  -When I try to browse the computer from another windows (windows 7), he sees the computer (they are on the same workgroup), but it is impossible to browse. Try to access it from a mac also fails.
  -J' tried to use direct ip address instead of the netbios name, with no luck (access to \\192.168.1.101, for example).
  -Of course, I tried already reboot my router, computers, etc.
  -sfc/scannow detected a few corrupted files (but says he fixed them). But it did not help.
  -J' thought that it might be a problem with windows system files, so I uninstalled SP2 and then reinstalled with no luck at all.
  -J' already tried to reset the tcp ip (netsh int ip reset) stack but also had no success.
  -I'm clean of viruses; already run 3 different AVs (including boot from rescue CD to detect rootkits) and nothing came.
  I'm almost reinstall my whole windows, but I'm afraid even if it cannot solve the problem and having to install from scratch and reinstall * all * my new aplications will be a last operation of the station. Clues as to what I could do? Is there a way manually reset/reinstall only the sectors/services windows network?
  Thank you for your time,
  Gustavo

  Greetings!

  Just the answer I finally had myself on this issue.
  The problem was a malware removal tool called Combofix. I had an infection and several tools to clean, one of which was this tool. I ignored the warning to leave unattended a guru of malware removal, and I just let it do its job (I know, I was wrong... but desperate times require desperate measures). Apparently, he finished and my system was working fine... but not the file share and ping responses.
  Finally, there is a way to reverse the changes made by the latter:
  • Go to C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT\subs\erdnt.exe, double-click erdnt.exe , and then restart the machine.
  • If this does not work, then navigate to C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT\Hiv-backup\erdnt.exe, double-click erdnt.exe and restart the machine.
  By doing this, the reverse tool changes to the system registry and these two services that weren't previously returned to work normally.
  The Trojan horse itself not worried anymore, because I ran Combofix all as precautionary measure, since I had already deleted the Trojan horse itself (ZeroAccess, by the way).
  That being said, I would think twice before getting a Dell computer next time... The version of Vista that comes with it only allows a 'Clean Install' and not 'upgrade install', which seriously complicates to reinstall the system failure (since I have to reinstall * everything *). I wonder if other versions of windows to PC manufacturers have the same limitations...
