• Connection to the network with Vista and Windows 7 computers

  A similar question was answered before, but it's XP computers I use Vista and Windows 7.

  I have a Windows 7 computer that is part of a home network and who also has a connected printer. I want to access the printer from a Vista computer that is also on the network. When I try to connect to the Windows 7 computer, I get the error "logon failure: the user has not granted the type of logon required on this computer."

  I've seen solutions have been when the system tries to access the printer was an XP system. Can someone help me with this problem?

  Thank you

  Hi Jim,.

  ·         Is file sharing enabled?

  ·         You have disabled password protection?

  Try to check the Advanced sharing settings in the network and sharing Center. To do this, follow these steps.

  a. click Start, Control Panel and then click network and sharing Center.

  b. now, click change advanced settings for sharing.

  c. now make sure that file and printer sharing is activated on and protected by password sharing is turned off.

• Cannot print over a network with Vista home

  Hello I try to connecto my new laptop to my network wireless of office to share files and printers.  The new laptop is Vista Home 64 bit.  The printer is connectet to a PC with Windows xp and according to a person who does our netwirking the printer cannot talk to the 32-bit and 64-bit and tells me that I have to change for windows XP.  It does not sound right.  Apparently there is no driver for canon iR 1510-1670, which runs on a 64-bit processor.  Any help...

  Thank you

  Guillermo

  If there is no Vista 64-bit drivers available for this Canon printer, you will need to spend the XP Canon printer to a compatible printer Vista 64 bit if you want to print from it.

  Canon has written drivers for their products, not Microsoft.

  Check yourself on the Canon Website driver as to what drivers are available for this printer:

• Headset with Vista issues

  Hi, I have Windows Vista, and lately I've been using my headset more often on my laptop.  With other computers and devices, my headset works fine.  However, with my computer in the left earpiece is much stronger (normal volume) that right (barely audible).  I think that my drivers are up to date, so what else could be the problem?

  Hi MelC329,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. to when was the last time the headset worked fine on the computer?

  Method 1

  First of all, I would say that you make sure that the audio speakers and the settings are correct on the computer and also configure Headphone virtualization, check if it helps.

  Adjust the speaker volume

  Get high definition sound and music from your computer

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/get-high-definition-sound-and-music-from-your-computer

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you manually download and install the updated drivers for the soundcard on the computer by visiting the manufacturer of the computer or sound card manufacturer's Web site and check if that helps.

• DeskJet 1000 c: Complications with Vista in network printing

  I'm having some trouble with my DeskJet 1000 c on my home office network. It is currently connected to a PC running Vista Home Premium 32 - bit edition, with a parallel cable. It prints very well on the local computer and also of my MacBook Pro via the network when I boot into Windows XP Professional 32-bit. The problem comes when I try to print over the network from a PC running Vista Home Premium 64 - bit edition. When I do that, work quickly appears and disappears from the queue of the host machine. the printer keeps a piece of paper and wait with power light flashes but will not do anything else until another job is sent or the power is off. At this point, the tip sheet of paper is ejected and the printer supports future work of printer. If it's a local job or one of XP, it allows to print; If it's a network of Vista 64 work he advances another sheet of paper and wait.

  I have a topic on the forum of Microsoft on the same problem:

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistanetworking/thread/ead5a88d-34ab-4e99-AE45-f7d151ae2e6e

  They seem to think that it is a driver issue, but I find a little strange that the driver supplied with Windows would work on 32-bit editions, but not 64-bit.

  I'm also looking for a printer driver that works with Mac OS X; He was not the one included with Gimp-print, and is available for download from the HP Support site seems to be only in a local printer, not one on a network. I tried to add a 'Generic' printer, but I know not (doubt) if the DeskJet 1000 c printer supports PostScript. When you print using the 'Generic' driver, the print job appears and disappears from the queue of the host machine, but the printer does nothing.

  I would like to point out that my printer/network configuration type of disorder; I have 3 dekstops and 3 printers (one connected to each desktop) plus a laptop. All computers can print to the other two printers on the network (HP PSC 500 and Xerox Phaser 6100) very well. The only problem seems to be with the DeskJet 1000 C printer.

  I appreciate any assistance granted; I was generally very happy with printers HP and their support of pilot over the years. I guess that the support for this one is not as strong, because it is so old and probably not as popular as the other models because it is a printer large format.

  There is a patch that solves the problem available here.

• Issue with Vista wireless

  Computing:   I have a Dell XPS 420 Desktop Computer with wireless capability with a Broadcom 802.11 network adapter g. operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit with Service Pack 1

  History: I had my computer since December 2007 and used to access wireless internet with Bellsouth DSL and a Linksys router, and then for the past year, I got paired with a Linksys WRT150N router comcast. I have had no problems to connect to the internet until Verizon Fios has been installed on the Sunday, August 30, 2009.
  That said, I tried with a Dell laptop in windows XP and it is connected. I also tried with a mini computer dell laptop running XP and it is also connected. Yet once again, I say that all three of these computers connected to the internet using Linksys and two different ISPS, it was with the switch to verizon that it has lost its ability to connect.

  Verizon has installed a router wireless Actiontec MI424WR Rev E.
  Firmware version: 20.9.0 (this is the most to date version)

  I can't connect my Dell XPS 420 desktop using a wired LAN connection to the router and establish an internet connection. I'm not able to establish a wireless internet connection. When I try to go wireless, it is said:
  Public Network - unidentified network - Local access only.
  IPv4 connectivity: Local

  Allow the other network users to control or disable the shared connection
  
  What I've tried so far based on reading previous forums discussing this issue.

  1. completely uninstalled Norton 360, including using the Norton removal tool and by calling the customer service of Norton who has accessed the computer and verified the complete removal.

  2 turned off the windows firewall.

  3 make sure the Broadcom network adapter driver has been the most up to date.

  4. people with disabilities and reinstalled the card network Broadcom.

  5 update Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and all other updates installed today.

  6 call Verizon Online support - they reset the modem and tried several things like change the "channel". Nothing has worked. They said to contact the computer manufacturer. They have pointed the finger to be a problem with Vista from the computers Windows XP work.

  7. called Dell: they tried several things with access to remote and says that it is the problem of the router/ISP.

  8. unplug the router several times, waited 5 minutes and plugged in. Has made several rounds of power on the computer as well.

  9. changing a registry key according to Microsoft technical support to disable the DHCP Broadcast flag in windows vista (I'm not entirely sure I did correct it because I didn't know what was the GUID) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233

  10 disabling IPv6 (by unchecking it)

  11 disabling IPv4 (by unchecking it)

  12 Ran IPConfig to confirm I have a valid IP address (starts with 192 and is valid I don't know if I should post the full address)

  13 fact MSCONFIG with reset winsock

  14 changed the settings TCP/IP by netsh int ip reset at the command prompt, and out, and then uupon done restart ncpa.cpl in the start menu and unchecked the tcp/ip v6 Protocol restarted the computer.

  15. don't attempt to ping a website - no Exchange packets, error message cannot find the Web site. I tried www.google.com and www.verizon.com

  I am at a loss of what I can do to get my computer back operational wireless. Due to the entire office to the top of our House, I would really like this computer on another level and the only way to accomplish that without drilling the holes through the walls that it it works wireless.

  Any other advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

  UPDATE:   I rented the "Geek Squad" to come look at my system. The poor guy spent 3 hours going through all stages. Finally a last ditch effort he has installed a new NIC card. Bingo that fixed for some reason any. Apparently, the old NIC card was bad, even if the system was saying that it was good. The old NIC card was allowing him to connect to the router but no internet. He said it was weird, but the problem is SOLVED!

• Network stops working in Tecra M9 with Vista OS?

  We have four Toshiba tecra M9 (processor T7500 2.2 ghz) laptop computers with installed in the factory version of Microsoft windows vista business and the other with toshiba charges not install Vista Ultimate version. All of these laptops have the exact same problem.

  Network sometimes stops working and nothing but allows you to restart the computer?
  Thing is that generally you cannot restart the computer event because it crashes of disconnection or closure of State.

  Theres just no clear reason for this one and it happens now and then.
  Sometimes several times a day and sometimes it works for days. No matter whether you are connected or not anchored. We have several workstations, PC and other laptops of brand with exactly same configuration/programs and no problem.

  Any help would be great because users are not very happy with this situation and we do not want to go back to windows XP (which works without problem in M9).

  Hmm. very interesting Question. Have you tried to update the BIOS?
  How about the latest Vista patches and fixes?

  I read that there are many bugs with Vista OS and Microsoft releases slowly unique fixed so I think you should check out these opportunities!

  Good luck

• Portege A600-138 with Vista 32 bit does not see the computers in the Group Win XP network

  Hello

  My Toshiba Portege A600-138 with Vista Business 32 does not see the computers in the workgroup.
  In our office, the computers are all equipped with Windows XP.

  When I connect my laptop to the Local network, I don't see any neighboring computers in Network Explorer.
  I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes to talk to a specialist Service of Support from Microsoft, and the only way to have access to local machines, we found it had to enter the IP of the computer directly into the computer browser path field.

  I hope you understand what I mean.

  The man said that he had no this problem with non - OEM Windows Vista versions.
  He meant that the problem was with the oem versions of Vista preinstalled on laptops only.
  He said that probably the sellers - in my particular case Toshiba - supplied their notebooks with VIsta oem images that were somehow corrupt.

  Does anyone have an idea of the cause of this problem?

  > The man said that he had no this problem with non - OEM Windows Vista versions.
  > It meant that the problem was with the oem versions of Vista preinstalled on laptops only.

  That's nonsense for me
  The Vista OS preinstalled Toshiba which is same BONE as full Vista disc from Microsoft.
  There is only one difference; Toshiba laptops are preinstalled with Toshiba and pilots tools and drivers and tools are part of the Toshiba recovery image that contains Vista, driver and tools

  Check this box:
  http://www.Computerworld.com/s/article/9019179/Teach_XP_and_Vista_to_play_nice_on_networks?taxono myId = 16 & pageNumber = 1

  You will find information that a problem has to do with the new Windows Vista network map.
  Windows Vista uses a new Protocol (Link Layer Topology Discovery).
  LLTD is integrated with Windows Vista, this is why they appear correctly in the network map.
  But the problem is that LLTD is not integrated with Windows XP, which is why they do not appear correctly.

  But you can fix the problem by downloading and installing the layer topology discovery responder.
  Install it and your PC Windows XP will appear on the network map.

• set up a home network with the PC using xp vista and windows 7

  I need to know how confugure my desktop vista and xp desktop and cell phone with my computer laptop windows 7.  detailed with inustrictions or links please.

  Hello

  You plug the computer via the network to a router or a switch card, and configuring their file sharing.

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

  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.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

  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 .

  If your network consists only of Win 7 and you want a simple network, use it.
