• 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.

  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.

• Cannot install network printer on Windows 7. Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver. All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions? How can I fix it?

  Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
  Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

  It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

  The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.

• Upgrading a network to Windows Vista to Windows 7 computer

  I have a home network (XP based) which works very well for years.  Three computers, two printers, and all worked very well together.  It's just my wife and me, and network security has never been a high priority.  Now, I want to add new computers to the system, one is a Dell with Windows Vista laptop. and it is a HP with Windows 7.  I followed the Network Wizard I used before creating the network; I created a file and was walking and it ran on all of the old and new computers.  The two XP machines can still talk to each other fine, the Vista machine can see two XP machines - but the machines XP get a window "permission error" when trying to access the Vista and WIndows 7 machine is on an island, he sees not all computers and all computers get a login screen before you can access the Windows 7 machine; even if we have no password on the Windows 7 computer.  As I said - it's just my wife and me, and we have no password or sign ins on all machines and would like to keep this simplicity.  FYI - all thte computers can access the internet fine and all use the same router to do.  Please tell us how can I better return to the situation that I had before where I could sit to one count; access to all the others, without a bunch of security and authorization issues.

• Share files between iMAC & Windows Vista and 7.

  I have a 20 "iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.1.  I used Bootcamp to install Vista Business ed. on part of the iMac. I use Vista Bs. ed. sp1. I also have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 Windows 7...

  How to share files and look at these different systems?

  1 person needs an answer

  You can share files between all of these systems. It is difficult for me to what you wrote if you want to share files with Windows 7 in OS X machine, but I have included this information in case you do. Because Vista is installed in training Camp, I have only included Win7 OS X sharing files and not Vista-OS X sharing files since you can't use both at the same time.

  On Windows

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  (C) in Vista, turn on password protected sharing. In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. In sharing advanced:

  Discovery of plug in the network
  Open the files and printers sharing
  Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
  Plug the password protected sharing

  Create accounts of users and corresponding passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

  Vista/Win7 - ORB start > Search > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  On OS X

  On OS X, make sure you have checked in the file sharing system preferences > sharing. Click the Options button, and then select "share files and folders using SMB." Add the shared directories as you wish.

  You must create accounts/passwords user on the Mac and Windows 7. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE.

  OS X Firewall is done in System Preferences > Security. Click the lock to make changes, and then click the Advanced button to ensure that SMB sharing is allowed. If you set up in the share pod, it will be.
