• A WIN7 in virtual XP mode can join a network working group?

  On a network of workstations XP working group and a Win 2000 Server, when I go into virtual XP on a new Win7 Professional workstation, I can not find the server on the network. In fact, I see no other workstations.

  The Win7 machine is on the network, just the virtual xp seems not to join. Any suggestions?

  Go to the settings for the XP mode and make sure it uses the real material network adapter and not the shared map.

• Network working group or an area for small businesses

  Hi all!

  Hi, I am facing a problem whenever someone asks me what kind of network is better for a small business, a network of workgroup or a domain?

  Could someone help me to find information on the benefits and disadvantages of each of them for a small business? In this way I permanently erase this doubt.

  Thank you!

  Sincerely,

  Jack.

  Hi Jack,

  Networked computers can be part of a workgroup or a domain. The main difference between the areas and working groups is the management mode of the network resources. Computers on home networks are usually part of a workgroup, and computers on networks to work are usually part of a domain.

  In a working group:

  • All computers are peers; no computer has control over another computer.
  • Each computer has a set of user accounts. To connect to any computer in the workgroup, you must have an account on this computer.
  • There are usually no more than twenty computers.
  • A working group is not protected by a password.
  • All computers must be on the same local network or subnet.

  In a field:

  • One or more computers are servers. Network administrators use servers to control the security and permissions for all computers on the domain. This makes it easy to make changes because the changes are automatically made to all computers. Domain users must provide a password or other credentials whenever they access the field.
  • If you have a user account on the domain, you can connect to any computer on the domain without needing an account on this computer.
  • Probably, you can only make changes limited to the computer settings because network administrators often want to ensure consistency between computers.
  • There may be thousands of computers in a domain.
  • Computers can be on different LANs.

  A workgroup is a network infrastructure of base with a soft security check and there is basically no administrative center central control.
  A workgroup is more synonymous with small networks - one where it does not guarantee to have a network of installed field. With a working group, no other additional computers are needed and by far the cheapest Setup for an internal LAN.

  However, one area is more complicated and more suited to large companies with many computers and departments within the ministries as a university structure or the structure within Microsoft Corporation.
  The areas have additional computers to oversee the safety and normal operation of the company's computers and data sharing is a priority.

• time synchronization a network working group

  I have an interesting situation. I'm in a casino environment, and I got a task force made up of surveillance equipment which must have their time synchronized with the same source as our network.  The surveillance system has no access to the internet.  I have a computer that is running Windows XP that has two NIC cards, one for the field and one for the working group. VCRs are running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. How can I synchronize time on video recorders on the computer in the domain with 2 NIC cards?

  I tried a file of commands with the following commands, but still get an erro that either says "RPC server not found" or something on the parameters:

• HP deskjet 5550 printer will print is no longer on the domestic network/work group

  I have a printer deskjet 5550 HP. It is attached through my XP operating system. My laptop is using Vista and has always been able to use this printer through the share system. However, all of a sudden the printer does not read the laptop print requests. I am able to access all other files on the main desktop. So I'm not sure what is happening. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Hi sweetmyranda,

  1. you remember changes to the computer before the show?

  You can remove the printer in Windows Vista and then try to uninstall all the drivers for the printers of programs and features.

  Method 1:

  a. open Printers by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, hardware and sound and then click Printers.

  b. right-click on the printer you want to remove, and then click on remove.

  If you can't delete the printer, right-click again, click Run as administrator, and then click on remove. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Method 2:

  Uninstall the printer from programs and features (as applicable).

  a. click on start

  b. type appwiz.cpl in search, and then press ENTER.

  c. find the printer driver package, right click and uninstall the package.

• "Cannot access working group on some computers running XP - ' < name of working group > is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource ".

  I have a home with 4 PC network - one of them is running Windows 7 Home Premium (with homegroup disabled) and others running XP Pro.  The XP machines is called 'Server' and the server and the computer services browser running and set to automatic.  Two other computers, called "Notebook" and "Dell", as well as the machine Windows 7 have no file and sharing printers enabled and have specifically the Server service is disabled.

  My problem is that one of the two XP client machines cannot access the working group.  Let me be clear about this: I open Windows Explorer and click on "My network places"-> "entire network"-> "Microsoft Windows network", there is then a second 5-10 break and then my workgroup name is displayed.  When I click on the name of the Working Group, there is another ~ 10 second pause and then I get a message that says error " 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 permissions.  A device attached to the system does not work. ', where is the name of my group to work for other days, after some of the computers are restarted, I find that the XP client has absolutely no problem with that; but the other now has this same problem.  In other words, the problem going on between two XP clients.

  Let's analyze: I have Windows on all PC firewall and any other firewall program.  I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and my anti-virus (temporarily), program without effect.  This may not be a problem with the way I've set up my actions because the error occurs when I try to click on the task force rather than a shared resource.  This cannot be a problem with a specific XP client because at different times, each of the two PCs worked perfectly without any changes of configuration made between the two.  It could be a problem with the server settings; but I don't see what it could be.  I tried editing

  HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters and changing

  IRPStackSize from 21 to 45, then 50.  I also tried to change the size of 2 to 3.  I restarted the server and the client XP and had no effect.

  I don't have the same account of user configured on all three machines.  However, this cannot be the issue because the problem occurs when I click on the task force, before the server name is still displayed.  In addition, each of these two XP clients have connected with their existing user accounts at times.

  I tried the Wizzard of configuration network running on all four machines, without effect.  I tried a lot of things, most of which I can't remember.  I'm at the end of my mind.  Help, please.

  JW,

  Thanks for the continued support.

  By the advice of IPCONFIG, I looked at the registry for all computers and found EnableProxy wasn't there.  According to the documentation by default to 0, which is what we want.  However, I added it to all the computers and left it set to 0 and restarted the computer.  The node Type still said 'unknown '.

  Thanks for the info on the master browser.

  The ""Network location cannot be reached"when you access actions."
  the article talks about Windows 2003 Server and none of the symptoms mentioned relate to this situation.

  The "network adapter advanced troubleshooting for Windows workstations" is on hardware troubleshooting.  I think that it's probably not a problem because the computer has no trouble to access the internet, which is not possible if the card network are not working.

  I went through the AutoCorrect entry to reset the TCP/IP stack, even if the article describes symptoms such as difficulty to access the internet...  And...  THIS MARKET!

  After re-booting, the PC that was in trouble can now access the working group.  All other PCs can always too (have not tried to restart all over again).  AWESOME!  I can't thank you enough!

  I re-post if the syptoms happen; but for now, we can consider this issue RESOLVED.

  Thank you 1 million,

  Adam

• Networking of 4 computers together; Special access from 1 computer to one 5th in another working group.

  Hey everyone, I had a question on networks linked to the sharing of files and folders in XP.  I have 4 Professional computers on the same network.  Desktop of the CEO needs access to a 5th computer connected to the same router/switch, but on a different working group. I want to keep computer Chief Executive Officer, connected to the main network, but also have access to files and folders on the computer of 5th.  Is there a way to do this?  If yes how can I to do?  His small business, but he needs to access certain files and programs on both networks.

  If I understand correctly, you want only the head of the it Department to access the 5th computer.  If the 5th computer has Windows XP Professional, you can disable simple file sharing.  Then, only a user with an account on the computer 5 will be able to access.  Ron Lowe and I wrote a web page with all the details: Windows XP Professional file sharing .

• How to setup Windows 7 as a working group that is not part of a business network?

  I have 2 Win 7 Pro systems implemented on a working group that is not part of a domain (on XP it was no problem to set up a home network, not a business network). However, Win 7, although it gives the option under system, network ID properties, joining a domain or a workgroup, it fails to really accept the parameters of working group. After the reboot, it is always default to a Business Network setting. It's very frustrating because security seems to be much more rigorous to manage communication; sharing, etc.

  There must be a solution to this. Someone has the answer to get systems to settle and remain in a workgroup about.

  Thank you

  John

  Since then you have only really two choices (workgroup or domain) and to join a domain - servers any must be involved...  I think that there is a lack of communication here.
   
  A "working group" is really - even with all the recent stuff - just a bunch of stand-alone computers with the same name.  John and Jane Smith Mikey - for example.  It can * help * simplify some shares in all areas of resources, but is not as a true area - where they share not only the same name - but many of the underlying parameters is pushed down by a central control entity (server).
   
  So - let's make sure that you are talking about the same thing that you seem to believe that you are.
   
  In the desktop menu or start - right click on "Computer" and choose "Properties".  This should open this folder: 'configuration\systeme and Security\System control. "  -"Computer name, domain and workgroup settings" should be things foure - please list those in response to this announcement.
   
  You can even JOIN a domain with a server being involved and demand - if...

• Two questions - cannot save the printer shares with the error code 0x000006d9 and part of the Machine is not accessible from the network of working groups

  I think this are problems, but here is the separately questions, first of all - the basics:

  4 PC network using the working group with two Windows 7 (ultimate) and two xp.  Everything worked fine with the a previous vista / xp 3 network.  All except the Windows 7 Desktop behave well. The network is connected with a modem cable to a 5XT netscreen NS (firewall hardware to the outside and the inside hub), a netgear wireless access point and Windows workgroup use (as mentioned above).  Name all is correct on all machines, all the discovery settings are in place and each has Norton Internet security for its local protection services. Upgrades of Windows 7 have been computer vista laptop connected wireless and wired desktop previously running XP Professional sp3.  XP conversion was assisted on the desktop of the wizard upgrade Laplink PC Mover.  Applications executed in appearance on the two level computers.

  On the desktop - I can't share printers. When I use "networks and printers" in the start menu to share on a printer I get code 0x000006d9 error saying something like the configuration cannot be saved.  All local jobs printing works well.

  On the desktop - the name of the computer records also of all as on the network (it is discovered and mapped by each PC) but when I try to access it from any other machine I get a general error says something like "check your spelling of the name mannequin." This desktop computer Win 7 can browse shared folders on the network of and write about everything.  Somewhat added data - this device can ping all others in the network sucessfully but none get a ping successfully into the offending machine either with ip address or computer name (times out waiting for a response or said the name is not found).  He himself can ping successfully.  It accesses the internet very high hand.

  Solutions have been attempted without a firewall (Firewall Norton Smart Internet - 2010), with the firewall and various changes to authorization.  A final discovery was that Windows Firewall will not allow because BFE is not able to start - error 5 - access denied (this was discovered by train to allow a possible solution because of some internet chatter that the Windows Firewall must be running to implement shared printers).  All other dependencies are running to get a break on why BFE is not (it turns on the Win 7 laptop as well as the firewall).  Authorizations have been verified in the registry for settings of firewall and BFE (ports, permits, etc.) have also been looked at with a very critical eye.  SFC has been run with no problem.  All ports for net drivers, Win 7 networking and other actions are open in the firewall.

  Then people - I did some internet research and I tried a lot of suggested solutions nothing doesn't.  My apologies in advance if a person provides a solution and I say "tried".  Any help is very appreciated

  You can mark this as resolved problem!
  The program involved, causing this error is firewall Windows, here is what you need to do to fix this...
  If like me you have disabled windows firewall, I use Security Suite of ZoneAlarm, you will need to re-enable the firewall to share the printer.

  If you have disabled or turned off the Windows Firewall. (and in my case this error was caused by exactly that)
  Step #1 - disable any other firewall can be installed. Stop to load at startup and restart your PC.

  Step #2 - go to the tools of Admin folder > Services > Windows Firewall > double click and is it set to manual or automatic and keep it.

  Step #3 - open Control Panel > system & security > Windows Firewall > enable or disable the Windows Firewall > (Enable) turn on the Windows Firewall > save
  Then go to Restore Defaults > click on restore default button > save
  (you only do this IF you have changed the settings of the firewall, but it is always a good idea and will ensure that there are no problems during the proceeding)

  Step #4 - click Control Panel Home > view devices & Printers > Select / click on your printer > screen printer properties > share > share this printer > OK

  Step #5 - go back to firewall Windows and the tower he walks back > save

  Step #6 - go back to Services > and the Manual value Windows Firewall (or turn it off if you want, I recommend the manual)

  Step #7 - reboot and re-enable your firewall preferred to start at startup > Reboot

  Step #8 - take a deep breath and sigh of relief! :)

• Network - NetBIOS and working group

  Hello.

  Sorry if it's a little silly question, but I'm not very good with computers and just had a question about something. I get the fact that the NetBIOS name is generated on random based on the name of my laptop, but the fact in the "WORKING group" which means I'm connect to something or offers other computers to share files and so on, on with myself?
  

  It is only used if you file sharing with Windows machines.
