NETWORKING AND SHARING FILES IN WINDOWS 7

As stated, I am putting in place on my simple file sharing network. Previously, it was only between two Macintosh computers, a Windows 7 machine and storage machine. Now, I want to add another laptop and PC - both running Windows 7 - to the network and connect to the storage machine, until then known as 'the server '.

The laptop connect through wi - fi. The PC and Macintosh computers connect via ethernet. They are all on the same network. This network uses WPA2-PSK security. The parameters of sharing on all Windows PCs, including the server include:

NETWORK DISCOVERY: WE

FILE & PRINTER SHARING: WE

PUBLIC FOLDERS SHARING: WE

MEDIA STREAMING: WE

FILE SHARING CONNECTIONS: 40/56 BITS

SHARING PROTECTED BY WORD: OFF

HOMEGROUP: USE ACCOUNTS USERS & PASSWORDS

The same settings apply to public networks.

In addition, every single player in all Windows computers have the following parameters:

ADVANCES OF SHARING: SHARE THIS FOLDER

USERS OF LIMIT: 20

PERMISSIONS: EVERYONE

TOTAL CONTROL: ALLOW

CHANGE: ALLOW

READ: ALLOW

SECURITY: ADMINISTRATORS, AUTHENTICATED USERS + USER + SYSTEM

TOTAL CONTROL: ALLOW

EDIT: ALLOWS

READ & EXECUTE: ALLOW

CONTENTS OF THE FOLDER: ENABLE

READ: ALLOW

SPECIAL PERMISSIONS: HIDDEN

However, I am not able to see some readers on some of the computers or encounter errors like this:

WINDOWS CANNOT ACCESS \\SERVER\G

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED ACCESS TO \\SERVER\G. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR TO REQUEST ACCESS.


When I click on "for more information, see Help and Support ', I am asked the following questions to which you will find listed answers:

YOU HAVE NOT CREATED OR JOINED A WORKING GROUP
I don't want to use the working groups.

YOU DO NOT USE A HOMEGROUP, AND THE FOLDER OR PRINTER YOU'RE TRYING TO ACCESS HAS NOT BEEN SHARED
I'm not interested by your nonsense whatever group, thank you.

NETWORK DISCOVERY IS TURNED OFF
No, it isn't.

PASSWORD PROTECTED SHARING IS ENABLED
No, it isn't!

THE COMPUTERS ARE NOT IN THE SAME WORKGROUP
They are not because I'm not interested in the use of working groups.

YOUR COMPUTER DOES not UPDATE FOR YOUR ITINERARY R
It's supposed to be a joke or some jerk programmer think actually it was useful to distance?

In fact, when I try to create a homegroup of the server, I don't see is a 'Register' button and clicking on that joined a homegroup belonging to one of Windows laptops for a silly reason. There is NO setting to CREATE a homegroup. I am only able to join an existing homegroup.

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

TL:DR

All I want to do is freely share files between devices approved on my secure network. Gage rocket science, Microsoft introduced in Windows 7, I don't want no part of it.

Where is the "DISABLE all BLOODY SECURITY AND SHARE THE GODDAMNED FILES"button in Windows 7?

Hi Nicky,

Apologize for the delay in response.

We understand your frustration, but the problem you are having is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Community forums.

I suggest you to post the same question on the TechNet forums, since we have a dedicated support and they will be able to answer the same.

It will be useful.

  • Windows Vista connected online but not shown on network and sharing Center or on the taskbar, leads to other problems

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 running on Windows Vista, my router modem is a Motorola SURFboard SBG901. A few months ago on this computer, I couldn't see that I was connected online either from right down icon in my taskbar (it shows just two monitors with an 'x', that when you highlight on he says "not connected, you are currently not connected to any network.")  I don't see it on my network and sharing Center which States: "not connected wireless connections are available." In terms of network it shows that my PC and then the line that has an x on him. If you click the x, or select diagnose and repair, he informs me that all is going well with my computer. If I go to connect to a wireless network, it shows that I'm connected to my network ready. I open one of my browsers and they all work very well, I can access any site without problem. I was not embarrassed with him at the time, but since then I moved into a new House and have a new service and everything, with this motorola modem cable. my new wireless network is a network unsecured, which of course, I want to fix it. I can connect to this network, but I can't access it through Windows properties to make sure. I read the manual of the modem, telling me to connect through an ethernet connection and access configuration manager using the ip address of my router on a browser, but which does not charge or the other. I have other devices (Ipod Touch and PS3) wireless I got other people come computers and they all detect the network but cannot connect to it. Thanks for any help.

  • Windows 7 64 bit... ""? "shows"See the whole map"in the network and sharing Center window"

    Hi guys

    I've been struggling with this problem for a few weeks and need help. When I open the control panel; Network and Internet; "Network and sharing Center", at the top of the page to the right, I have an option to view the connections of the network (see map). The opening I find a big blue '? ', with 2 solid lines from my computers to the "?", with the word "Unknown"under the present'?", then 2 solid lines go to the router... It's a wireless network must therefore a double line broken and not solid and obviously not '? I can fix this problem by changing the Properties tab 'Advanced' from the WiFi transceiver on each of the computers. Once I click OK, the computer the fact thing... and the blue "?" disappears and the network is 100% functional. Putting computers into sleep or restart... and I have the '? ' on the respective computer which itself was removed from the network after a reboot. This happens on 4 computers on the network, all the Windows 7 64-bit, 2 notebooks, desktop computer 2!... Still problem, all corrected in the same way. Until the '?

Thank you

    The question mark appears when you return from sleep if interconnect them (Network Interface Controller) is allowed to turn off to save power.

  • Cannot turn off or disable password protected sharing the network and sharing Center

    I'm trying to turn some pretty simple sharing of files between our windows PC (two portable minicomputers running under XP, a desk and a laptop running vista). File sharing functions between the XP computers. However, I am simply unable to influence the "password protected sharing setting" in the network and sharing Center. I check the option to turn it off and I get a click through UAC dialog window, the mouse cursor turns for a short time while as if windows is pretending to do something, but the password protected sharing setting is always on.

    I tried to disable Avira Antivir.

    I enabled the guest account and set its password to a string explicitly empty with net user guest «»

    Nothing helps.

    svampi,
    This knowledge base article can be useful for you.  Although the problem that it is designed for the difficulty is not the same as yours, the underlying cause is the same.  There is an article to 'fix', which means that you can click the 'fix' in the article so that it automatically fixed for you online or you can follow the instructions to edit the registry yourself if you feel capable of doing that.  So check that out and see if it helps with your problem:

  • Network and sharing Center shows not connected, but the computer is connected to the wireless network

    When I open the network and sharing Center, or hold my mouse pointer on the icon of internet connection in the bottom right of the taskbar, it shows that I'm not connected to a network. However, I know that I'm connected to the internet. My internet and e-mail work correctly. Also, when I click on the 'Connect to a network' option, find the list of available wireless networks, and it shows that I'm connected to my home network. How can I make Windows everywhere where I am connected to the internet, instead of recognizing only on the list of the networks without wire-available?

    Had exactly the same problem on Windows 7 (win7). Connected to the Internet but the status showing no connection and a red cross on the network icon. Problem has also caused problems to connect to Lync and Office365 along with VPN, which apparently uses the status to check whether the connection is available.

    Found the solution here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itpronetworking/thread/df17c593-e78f-4878-97b0-7569307934c5

    Apparently, certain permissions gets hurt in the database record and must be fixed using RegEdit. The solution is a step by step and likely to be resolved simply by removing a cache of file using RegEdit and potentially affecting certain permissions.

    B3PPE,

    See that article following (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833) if it can help you to manually replace the files that SFC could not fix, it also gives you measurements on log file filtering so that only unsuccessful repairs of SFC are listed. Please note that the best source for replacement files would be a sound installation of vista with the functions you want to work.

    I will add to check your hard disk for errors, as corruption SFC could be linked to it. For details, see check your drive for errors .

    Our final recommended option for the problem that you encounter will be a Vista repair install:

    <><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

    You can reinstall your copy of Vista while keeping your files, settings and programs by performing a repair install or a level facility.

    1. Insert the Windows installation disc in your computer's DVD or CD drive. You must start Windows installation while running your existing version of Windows.

    2. on the Install Windows page, click install now.

    3. on the get updates for installation page, we recommend getting the latest updates to help ensure a successful installation and to help protect your computer against security threats. You will need an Internet connection to get the installation updates.

    4. on the Type your product key for activation , we strongly recommend that you type your 25-character product key in order to avoid problems during activation.

    5. on the page Please read the terms of the license , if you accept the license terms, click I accept the terms of the license.

    6. to the which type of installation you want? page, click upgrade to begin the upgrade. You can see a compatibility report.

    7 follow the instructions.

    Note: If your installation disc doesn't include SP1, and you are updated, then you must uninstall it before proceeding with an update install. Start-> Control Panel-> programs-> see installed updates, then select Service Pack for Microsoft Windows and click on Uninstall.

    <><><><><><><><><><><><>

    It is always advisable to backup any and all important data before continuing with the major changes to your system. Please see: methods for backing up your files.

    Always make sure that you have the means to reinstall your programs, or by an installation disc or access to the installation files.

    <><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

    Only a clean installation may shrink toward the low enough differences to isolate what causes this scenario. There are already has with your file system corruptions, we can't go until this is completely isolated.

  • 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.

  • Network and sharing Center will not be open in the Panel

    I've been away from home - where I HSI and it works very well - for a few months, I plugged to the network sporadically awireless (sometimes just bad signal), with a lot of frustration.  A few days ago, I went to a place where I could connect to a hard (secure) wireless network and enjoyed the smooth navigation for about an hour.  Later when I tried to connect to the smaller network, unsecure, I couldn't open my network and sharing Center. Whether from the drawer or the Control Panel, a screen opens displaying nothing, but the circle of rotation.  The TASK MANAGER IS REQUIRED to CLOSE THE PAGE - it will not answer the close box. TM shows the centre network and sharing as 'running', although there is no indication on the screen, except the title and the circle of rotation.

    My laptop is a dv6t Pavilion with Windows 7 (64-bit)

    All the other files in the Panel seem to open and operate normally.

    Hello Hamanslayer

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I understand the network and sharing Center will not be open. I will do my best to help you! If please launch and center network and sharing, and wait for him so that he can provide an error. In addition, please try to run Centre network and sharing in a different user account. If you don't have one, create one.

    I did some research on this issue. Unfortunately, the only reliable troubleshooting that is remaining, if the above does not help, is to reinstall the operating system. Too, there are different issues that could be causing it. Reinstalling the operating system will focus on each of them.

    First, please save all the files you need. You can find specific steps on how to proceed in the following HP document: backup of files (Windows 7)

    Once this is done, you can safely reinstall the operating system. I'll also give you a document on how to do it: perform a recovery of the system (Windows 7) HP

  • Center network and sharing Center shows "Page failed to load".

    On Windows Vista, Network and Sharing Center comes with a blank page except for text in the middle and says 'The Page impossible to load' steps, I tried:

    Clean boot

    SFC/scannow

    CHKDSK /r

    System Restore (has not only once other succeeded, but does not solve the problem)

    None of them have worked. I have reviewed the SFC newspaper and looked at DLL files, it says could not be fixed and replaced those with well known copies.

    A clean install is not a good option in this case either. My thoughts are that it is a corrupt DLL somewhere or a DLL that has incorrect permissions.

    On another note, I can't connect to wireless networks either. To be more exact, no networks appear in the list (I can connect by typing the SSID manually. The pop-up icon wireless in the status bar indicates "networks are available", but the list shows no. I believe that these two issues are related. Please give suggestions and connents, I appreciate all help.

    Thank you.

    Hello
     
    Do you remember any change to your computer before the problem?
     
    Search for related errors and Event Viewer .

    I suggest that you follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1:

    You can uninstall the drivers for the network adapters in the Device Manager and reinstall the same.

    To uninstall the wireless device manager,

    1. click on Start , type Device Manager in the start search box and press ENTER.

    2 locate the network adapters and expand the same.

    3. Select the adapter, right click and selectUninstall.

    4 restart the computer, if prompted.

    Pilots should settle automatically after the computer restarts.

    Note: Before uninstalling the drivers from Device Manager, make sure that you have a backup installation files.

    Step 2:

    A. If not help, to create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

    B. Si the problem is resolved in a new user profile, then probably you had a corrupted profile and can be remedied .

  • Unknown error in the network and sharing Center

    When I opened my network and sharing Center where the active networks would be just said

    'Unknown '.

    and

    "The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process"

    If I open Services.msc and check the list of networks and Network Location Awareness service, both are on automatic and both connect as a network Service.

    Network list service does not work and does not give the error:

    Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process

    I'm connected to my home network and have internet access and also a local access to other computers, it's just not appearing is not on the network and sharing Center.

    A result of this is that some of the metro apps don't report any internet connection and will not start. I currently now disconnected my microsoft account on the computer and use a local account, but the problem is still there.

    I also tried

    netsh winsock reset

    from an administrator command prompt but no change.

    Can anyone help?

    Hi Andrea,

    Please keep us updated.

    This can be shown because of missing or corrupted system files. This is why I would recommend running the System File Checker tool, which is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    To do this, click Start, type command or cmd prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    Note: Do not close the command prompt window until the audit is completed 100%. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is complete.

    I hope this helps. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.
