Network Vista and XP - connection to the network printer problem

I try to print to a network printer connected to a vista from a computer xp machine

Two computers on a network
Vista machine is connected through the ethernet card and has a connected printer
XP machine is via wireless network

Both machines have the same network name "mshome".
Open ports on the firewall and also left Software Firewall

When I print a job, I see it be wound on the info from the printer on both machines, but then, it is automatically deleted.

I am able to access the hard disks from two computers

The printer works this way, when you share a printer between XP and Vista where the printer is connected to Vista, XP will communicate with the printer and its drivers Vista.

So as I suspected it was due from pilots, in your case XP will be offered 64 bit readers which it does not recognize

If we rely on the printer connected to the Vista 64-bit operating system operating system 32-bit, we need to install the additional drivers (especially the XP must be with 32 bits, only 32 bits of the operating system will not show if it's 32-bit or 64-bit)

So in this case, you must right click on the printer on Vista and go to the sharing tab, and then click additional drivers, it will be the operating system and Version to select and you will need to select Windows XP x 86 and install the drivers

Now your Vista will be the 32-bit and 64-bit drivers installed. Now, when you share the printer, when the Contacts XP Vista, Vista has drivers and it will be able to share the printer correctly. Anish

    OK, so I have problems with my computer (model Emachine) and ended up having to reinstall windows vista.

  • Ad Hoc network. even if the network is active and is connected to the internet my devices cannot connect and then the network shuts down.

    I'm living in a college dorm and only have access to the internet via a hard line to my computer. So I wanted to give my other accessibility of consumer electronics set up an Ad-Hoc network and share the internet connection. When I originally set up the network it works fine, but after the devices go to sleep or I leave the room it stops working. I had problems to keep the internet connection to share continually, which I fixed it. I then had a DHCP problem with the hard line that has been resolved through troubleshooting function. Now, even if the network is active and is connected to the internet my devices cannot connect and then the network shuts down.

    Is there a way to create an Ad Hoc network that works similar to a wireless router, so when my computer is turned, it works automatically? If so, how can I make this happen without these problems?

    Hello

    I suggest to activate temporarily the antivirus as well as windows firewall and check if it helps.

    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.

    Disable the anti-virus software

    Hi Suzanne,.

    I apologize for my late reply.

    According to your description of the problem, you are able to work with the printer when it is connected directly to the system via a connection cable. I suggest you try the following steps to diagnose the reason the printer works fine with the system of didn't make any problems with windows except if connected wireless.

    Method 1:

    Run the next fixit and check if it helps:

    -Enable network discovery

    -Turn on the file and printer sharing

    -Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in public folders

  • Should Microsoft Vista drivers operate printer Brother HL-1240? I recently downloaded updates for Vista, and now I can no longer print on my printer Brother HL-1240.

    Drivers Vista MSN

    Should Microsoft Vista drivers operate printer Brother HL-1240? I recently downloaded updates for Vista, and now I can no longer print on my printer Brother HL-1240. Updates are perhaps the cause of this problem? If this isn't the case, please let me know if I get the problem somewhere else.

    Hello

    Your question is could a Windows Update may be charged a wrong Brother Printer Driver? Yes.

    One way to know is to look in the history of updates to see what has been installed and uninstall then one that seems incorrect.

    If you are an update of the Microsoft printer driver note that Microsoft updates pilot equipment for other manufacturers are not normally updated.

    Here's how to uninstall specific updates;

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

    If an update is the problem and stop it reinstall > list of updates to install > right click on the incorrect update > UAC prompt > and then click Hide.

    See you soon.

    p.s. Always get the latest updates of the driver from the hardware manufacturer.

    Also would it be a good idea if above does not work to download the last direct Brother printer driver; If necessary reinstall your printer...

  • How can I connect to the internet? Problems involving the network and sharing Center does not.

    Hello.
    I live in a House and bought a range extender so that I can get a connection in my basement as well.  I have installation range Extenders without problem.  When you install the range extender, I changed my name to my network router.  I changed the name of the network by typing 192.168.1.1 in my browser.
    The MacBook connects without a problem.  In the basement, the connection of Windows 7 works very well.  I have just connected Vaio Windows 7 my mother to the network, but it prompted that I enter the user credentials.  I read a post above and got that problem solved by opening the network and sharing Center and adding a new connection.  Now that the connection is configured correctly.
    The problem is with the laptop HP Windows Vista family basis.  Since I install the range extender, I can't connect to the network.  He had no problems before you connect the router or other networks to visit other places.  The new network name appears, but when I click it, it says I have to enter the user credentials.  I tried to manually, but the name is taken so I can't make a new and invites me to connect to the network that is established or to connect to a different network.
    • I tried to open the network and sharing Center, but it does not open.  When I click it, it opens a screen for a brief second.  The option "Display the status of network and tasks" opens either.

    In a last attempt, my sister has used the ethernet cable to connect directly to our router.  Next time, she turned on her laptop, she managed to connect to our wireless network and she was not invited to enter credentials.

  • Vista does not connect to the network at startup folders

    Unlike XP, Vista is not automatically mapping/connecting to my WiFi network at startup folders.  Every time I have start or restart, Vista does not connect to them, and I have to manually complete the task.  All folders that I want to connect to are marked "Reconnect at logon."  How to get Vista to connect to these folders when connecting as it is supposed to?

    Hi Peters4,

    I have some questions I need to ask:

    Once have connected you to the computer, you still see the disks with a red X on them or they have gone completely?
    If they have the red x, connects by double-clicking on them?
    If you are prompted for a password?
    You map drives using an IP address instead of a name of sharing?
    Are you using the built in Windows Vista wireless client or other software to connect to the wireless network?

    You could try the following drive mapping and see if that fixes the problem:

    • Press Start.
    • Type CMD in the Search box and press ENTER.
    • Right click on cmd.exe and select run as administrator.

    At the command prompt, use the following command:

    net use x:-\\nom_ordinateur\nom_partage\ / persistent: Yes

    (where x is the drive letter you want to assign.)

  • Omen of HP 15: Wifi stop working. Win10 shows only a single network and it connects to the WiFi

    Hi guys,.
    Since a few days my wifi stopped working.
    If I click the Wifi icon it shows only a SINGLE NETWORK (two maximum), but not mine!

    And I live in a building of 20 + networks, as you can see on the WiFi Analyzer (I'm the only red to the right)



    If I reactive / disable Wifi with fn + f12, it goes back in plane and Wifi mode mode and sees it eventually all networks:



    My Wifi is on top. If it is registered, Windows connects to it and then she abandons the connection; If it is not registered, and I try to connect, it says "you are not able to connect to this network.
    Is fun is that after a few seconds, each network disappears and alone is shown (probably the one next door... I don't know).

    I already tried to RESET the laptop MATERIAL by keeping the power button for 10-15 seconds with the laptop is turned off.
    I tried to follow these instructions (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04649175) updated drivers (Intel 18.12.0.3, 18.12.1.2, 18.30.0.9 [10 default Windows], 18.32.0 [last drivers]) without success. Whenever I have install a new driver, I uninstalled the earlier software Wireless + restart.

    I tried to uncheked "allow this computer to turn off this device to save power" on my settings of Wifi hardware without success.

    HP network support said that I did not choose a Wifi (really? The problem is that I do not see my Wifi on the list!).

    This is unrelated to a new 10 Windows upgrade since I installed it months ago and this is the first time I have this problem :/ It has always worked

    I tried different settings too:
    I changed the channel, I put 802.11 g on my router, APSD off on the router.
    I put "Magic off packet, QoS ad hoc off, U-APSD off, fat wide channel, differential flow mode HT off" on the creation of the map without success. Nothing chaned.

    The hardware test detects any failure.

    Important note: If I close the router, it shows my network connection with full power and he connects to it. Then I come back in my room (probably 3/4 meters away), it MAINTAINS the connection for 30 / 40 min and he drops the connection and I cannot reconnect to it more. It has always worked perfectly in my room during these months (I bought it in March 2015), so the distance is not a problem, I'm 6 / 7 m away from the router.
    In this case, it shows my network (connected) and the nearby... and the other 20 networks +?

    The only way I have is USB tethering with my Nexus 5.

    Linux: I tried the WiFi on Freya elementary (Ubuntu linux OS base) and it displays 20 + networks available on the list. He has not the connection problem with my Wifi, but sometimes it stops working, Web pages stop loading and I have to restart Wifi to reconnect to the it (usually after 30/40 min of use it).

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    What is the problem? My Wifi card is broken? Should I call Italian support or if you have any suggestions?

    WAWood,
    I took a risk.
    I did a factory restore with recovery HP (I have a drive dedicated for her)... and it worked!
    I had to switch from Win8.1 to 10, but the Wifi problem is solved!

    I'm still guessing that was the problem...

    Now, I'm under Intel drivers 18.30.0.9 worm and all the networks work.

    In the next few days I'm checking the linux problem (reset deleted primary partition).
