Networking my laptop Windows XP, and the Windows Vista desktop

Hello

Can someone help me with my laptop Windows XP and Windows Vista desktop network?  Despite many attempts (and failures!) I was not able to get the two machines on the same network.  It's very frustrating because I'm unable to access the documents from one computer to another, i.e. file sharing etc and have spent ages trying to do this!

I would be very gratful if anyone can solve this for me!

Kind regards

Here is an article on how do: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1165037.

Here is another article on how to do it: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx.

The next thread can shed some light on the process (and provides a number of useful links):http://forums.techguy.org/networking/545552-how-do-i-network-my.html.

  • Failed to retrieve, I'm doing a full restore on my Windows Vista desktop

    I'm doing a full restore on my Windows Vista desktop. When I click Start on recovery management, another box appears called Microsoft .NET framework. I hit continue, but it won't allow me to clikc OK to start recovery... At the end of the box, it is said when JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    These are the normal methods to use the process of recovery of the manufacturer:

    1. in a Vista operating system running, using the process of recovery of the manufacturer (Recovery Management, etc.), you use apparently.

    2. to start by pressing a particular key or set of keys (F10, F11, etc) according to the installer from the manufacturer...

    3. using the recovery disks provided, or the recovery discs that you made of their recovery Partition.

    If you cannot access or use one of these methods, you will need to ask for assistance from your computer manufacturer while the recovery process is installed by them, not by Microsoft.

    See you soon.

  • How can I connect Windows XP to several networks, Wi - Fi for internet and the other for file sharing?

    On windows XP, I need to connect to two different networks. Free wifi for the internet and the other for file sharing.

    Different gateways, different static address, same subnet mask. But there is problem when operating simultaneously and must

    a network must be disabled. Is it possible to run simultaneously?

    original title: served various networks simultaneously on windows xp

    Go to where you have configured the static IP addresses for your network adapters.  Leave the "default gateway" blank for your local file sharing adapter and insert a valid default gateway for your wifi Internet adapter.  Of course, this will limit your adapter in a single subnet - which should be OK for use at home or small office to share local files.

    This should work as long as the two physical subnets have two different subnet numbers. In general, this means that the first three digits of the IP address of the adapter can not be the same on both adapters - if they are, then you need to make one of the subnets. (i.e. one is 192.168.1.xxx and the other would be 192.168.2.xxx).  This is usually accomplished in the router configuration page.

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless does not mean that you really have a valid functional connection.


    Linking the means of router you can enter the IP base of the router in an address bar in one go, being able to connect, see and configure the router menus (extended to the wireless router manual should explain how to do).

    If it will not connect to your wireless router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

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

    The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

    Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

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

    Firewall software can block traffic Local to the network that you are trying to use because it is not set to the network Zone Trust.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

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

    Stack TCP/IP (network IP number) of work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

  • Error read-only during the Windows XP networking with a Windows Vista-based computer

    Help, please.  We have set up a working group, the destop with Windows XP behaves as the server and laptop with Windows Vista is the other computer.

    We can share and open all files.

    The problem is with a mortgage loan software. (Chalice)  On the Vista computer, when you try to open a file, we get the error "the file is used by someone else.  You want to open the file in read-only Mode? "We have worked with their Tech Support who insists on the fact that it's a Microsoft set up the problem with the server computer.  In their diagnosis, they say that the cause may be "the server has locked files or you don't have full access to the records.  Their Technical Support remotely connected to our two computers and verified that we have the network set in place correctly-"everyone" has full control of the files.  Both computers have disabled the Windows Firewall.  How can I check if the file is locked by the server?  And why would he block specifically for mortgage loan software?  Any other troubleshooting help would be most appreciated.  They have guaranteed that this software can run on both Windows XP Vista computers & a set.

    Another question - when I right click on the folder that this error message, and then click Properties, on the general tab, attributes, the 'Read only' box is populated with a solid green box.  It can also be a check mark or a cache.  I deleted the solid green box and tick, apply settings, but still no luck.  What is the difference between the solid green box and the checkbox for that?

    Thank you to those who can help - we are really at a loss!

    Additional info - The Windows XP computer using IE 8, 32-bit, Windows XP, Media, 2002 Edition, SP3.

    The Windows Vista-based computer uses Vista Home Premium SP2, IE 8, 32-bit Edition.

    The problem seems to come and go.  Sometimes I can get it to work, was not.  Sometimes, it works once but not a few hours later even though computers have not changed or been restarted.
