Network Neighborhood is a virus on my pc?
Network Neighborhood on my pc is a folder that is gold, but lighter than all other folders. When I click on it, it shows nothing. When I tried to remove it, it says that my pc will not work without it. The contents are hidden. I do not trust in this folder. Should I remove it?
Hello
Network neighborhood stores the path to the folder containing shortcuts to servers that the user has added to my network places.
You can see the following link for more information on network neighborhood.

I have a network of offices with windows 7 and XP PC 6 PC 7. Each day network neighborhood loses the xp computers. I can always ping them but they do not appear on the network. The PC xp always had access to the internet and can still ping windows 7 PC normally, but I can't connect to the shares or see them in the network neighborhood. The question seems to come and go during the day and can be due to the network traffic? I am lost at this point. A reboot of the xp PC is not resolved, but a restart of the server main window file 7 pc solves it for a while. Help!

Unable to connect to surface RT in network neighborhood
The Tablet shows up in my other pc windows8 (cable) network neighborhood, but when I try to connect to it I get an error "the network not found path.
I turn file sharing and printers on the tablet.
I can see and access the network shares on other machines of the Tablet, but I can't access shares on itself (i.e. by browsing to the shared folders on the Tablet, the tablet itself).
I also noticed that the Service "Computer browser" on the Tablet is set to disabled (I think the firewall?)
My Event Viewer is littered with errors like these:
Error - Service Control Manager
The computer browser Service depends on the Server service which failed to start because of the following error:
The Service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices is associated to him.
I tried to manually start the service but I get error 1068 the dependency service L or the group could start.
In addition, I seem to be unable to sync with Gmail from the mailer of the Tablet application (same settings work fine on my other machines) with the warning "could not synchronize messages. This could be unrelated, however.
I hope someone has a solution because I really need access.
See you soon,.

If Yes, indicate the same.As a first step, I recommend you scan your computer to get rid of this virus.Try to start in Safe Mode with networkand then run an analysis online for your computer.

The working groups in my network places became inaccessible.
The working groups in my network places became inaccessible. I can reach the individual computers if I type the name or IP address, but I can't seem to them through network neighborhood. Is there a setting somewhere hand who has caused this? He used to work very well, this has only started happening in the last two weeks. It began with a single computer not being able to be seen and grew up in the area of network together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Step 2: If the problem does not still in safe mode, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state of the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.
After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

networked computers do not have do not transit working group
Two systems running XP Pro connected by the router. A system infected with the Trojan virus. After cleaning the system scans with malwarebytes and security essentials. Both systems can be crazy and respond properly, but do not appear in the network. Obviously something still does not work and I need display to map network drives. Troubled system can access the internet. ???
File sharing is usually accomplished by using the NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) protocol which may have its own set of problems even if TCP/IP is working properly.
Two items that may be useful are here:
"You can not access the shared files and folders or browse computers in the workgroup with Windows XP"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/318030 >A rare problem can occur if the node Type is set to peer-to-peer (or Pei P or P-node). P - nodes use a radio to locate other computers and therefore will not appear in the network neighborhood. Bring up a command prompt on each machine (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
ipconfig/all
Look at the line that begins 'Node Type' and check that it is not a knot-P. If this is the case, then the following article could be useful:"You can't see the other computers in the workgroup on the network on a Windows XP computer"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/903267 >As a last resort, see if you can map a drive from a command prompt window. Open a window to command as shown above and enter the command:
NET use p: \\computername\sharename / user: username
Where you replace "computername" with the name of the remote computer and the "sharename" with the name of the network share on this computer. "Username" is replaced by the user for authentication and the "/ user:" part is optional if you are authenticating with the same username and password that you use on your current computer. the "p:" can be replaced with the drive letter, you wish or replace with a "*" If you want to take the pot-luck on drive letters.

Network name not found between 2 XP Pro computers. Just stopped working
I have a computer network that has worked successfully for several years and stops suddenly. The only thing I can think of that changed is that I have installed the "critical" updates that windows recommended I have install. I don't know that's the problem that I didn't test the network for several days before or after the installation, but it can be an important clue
my network seems to be still intact, as I can ping and access any computer manually via the IP (\\192.168.1.x), but I can't access or their ping more than name (\\computer_1). All my shared drives and printers to refer to names of computers for their ports. None of the networked computers appear in the network neighborhood with the exception of the computer I'm working on.
Thinking it was simply a problem of firewall/virus protection, I have disabled all of this on both xp computers, but it made no difference. The kicker is that Mac computers can still access the printer shared by computer name. The problem seems to lie between the two xp computers.
All the obvious print and file sharing settings have been verified to be correct. I even went as far as to set up the network again, that made no difference.
Two xp computers revealed FALSE when I checked who was the master browser, so I changed my desktop to TRUE to indicate that as long as the master browser.
On my network, I have 2 MAC OSx 10.5 and 2 windows xp pro SP3. Mac can still access shared printers, computers XP cannot...

Booklet 70CT: unable to browse the network
I'm trying to connect my booklet 70CT to an existing LAN. I use a Fast Ethernet Linksys PC card in the booklet, connect a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router on a LAN port.
There are two other computers connected to the router network OK. I did all the installation procedures in the manual of the PC card and everything seemed to be working normally.
When I double click on network neighborhood on the booklet, I get a screen with "Entire network" in this topic. When I double-click it, I have a sign saying "Unable to browse the network."
Help, please.

I can connect to the internet, but not to my home network
I have a PC running Windows XP SP3, which is connected to a Linksys WRT300N router. I have access to the internet.

I can't find anywhere in the network settings for WinXP that relates my network name. Help!

I guess that the other two computers are working properly and that it can network together and that the only problem is the XP machine. I'm also assuming that this problem persists when the firewall was disabled (including hidden like the one in the Cisco VPN client). I also assume you mean by "is no longer connect to my home network" that you can't see other computers in your network neighborhood. See if this article helps you:
