Networking of 8, 7, and xp computers together

I have a new computer running 8 that it easily in wireless network with a Windows 7, but he won't find a windows xp computer that is connected to the wireless router electrician. How can I add the xp computer to the new homegroup network? Rest of my old networt on the macnine xp has not changed anything.

Before I got this response, I spoke with my computer technical support and they said that my XP computer would be recognized by the network homegroup in Windows 8. They said all I had to do was restart my XP computer and it would be recognized. I did and he did. I am able to access all files and folders, and disks that I had previously defined for sharing one of the three computers I have on the network.

    Original title: cannot share the file, help!

    Hello.

    I just got a macbook the other day, the mac was pretty easy to understand how to set up for file sharing. It is installed on my pc and that you can view the files mac very well. However, I can't the PC to share files on mac to save my life. I didn't actually work earlier pretty ok, just read a comment online, but then the mac has had a problem with a hard drive so they just replaced with a new computer. I had the same model. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. As he asked a username and password for my PC to connect and view files (so I thought a lot of outside). I entered the same username and password for PC information, I entered earlier (several times), and it wouldn't work. I tried to enter my information to connect PC and it wouldn't work. I tried implementing new user names to add to the permissions and it would not work to connect on the mac. I tried to disable the password protection all together on pc and it still does not either. I know I entered the data correctly, I tried to work 3-4 hours... I'm a little confused, because it worked pretty quickly earlier and I did the same thing.
    What can I do? I'm doing something wrong? Any help that anyone can give is GREATLY, GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!!! :)

  • How can I get unidentified network settings stick, private and change its name?

    I use Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on my computer at home, because my Internet is wireless usb (AT & T Quicksilver) device that can be plugged directly into my router (Linksys WRT110).  Given that the router accepts only as an internet connection ethernet cables, instead I use my desktop computer as the connection (ICS) and using the router only as a hub, essentially.

    Everything is working well at the moment.  The Office will connect to the internet and other computers and devices connected to the router (wired and wireless) are all works well and can share the internet connection.

    But whenever I restart the desktop computer, the default network is "unidentified network" and as a type of 'Public' without discovery service.  So every time I go to network settings and make it private.  It works fine until the next reboot.  In addition, I am not able to change the network name.  The field seems open for entry, but selecting and typing does nothing.

    I don't know if it's relevant, but other devices to connect to the network are laptops (of various working groups, need to be since they are mainly used to work) and a DirecTV DVR, using Mediashare (via Windows Media Server).  Yet once, they all work, after doing the private network, but this is lost at every restart of the desktop computer.

    I wish I could have it be a private network that is identified by a name and keep these parameters at each reboot.  But I have yet to find an online solution that worked for me.

    Matt,

    Thank you very much.  It worked like a charm.  I was pulling my hair out on this one for a few months.  Once again, a big thank you!

    For anyone else trying to solve the same problem, here is the summary of the solution.

    I have already had no default gateway specified.  As advised by Matt, I right click on the Local network connection (in network and sharing Center / manage network connections) and went in the IPV4 properties and put in the address of a default gateway (equal to the IP address of my router/hub).  I left the ICS settings and all the way IP addresses which I had them before (with zero in the third byte of the IP address of all and ICS turned on).  I have no registry changes.  The only change is the default gateway.  After this change, a wizard appears to allow me to set up the network properly.  And I could rename and define the private network.  And the changes were intact after several reboots.  Perfect.

  • Forget a network on the iPhone and it comes back later

    Tell me if this has happened to you.

    You go to the supermarket and there's an open wifi hotspot it which does not require a key, but you don't need this WiFi now.  my iPhone connects automatically, making it difficult to receive messages because this wifi * or does not have adequate connectivity or has a sign on the page, you don't want to fool around with.  So, I want to just forget about it.  So I do, go to settings > wifi, find the network, click on the i and hit "forget network".  We forget... for now.

    I'll be back another time, and it reconnects to the network.  I have to then forget it all over again!

    I have the setting for "ask to join networks" turned off the coast.  Per the note below the setting, he said "knows networks will be attached automatically, if no known networks are available, you will need to manually select a network."  With that, a popup is constantly asking to join my clutter networks.  I want the phone automatically join my home network, work network and a few other networks like individual houses with wifi band.  I do not want to connect to this * network supermarket, never.  implies remark to me that I have to go to network settings and select a network to join it and then if it is known it will connect automatically, whereas with this on he keeps asking to connect, always.

    Something I noticed is that when I go to my wifi settings on my Mac at home and watch the networks recorded, it seems to remember all the networks I never joined including this wifi supermarket.  I empty this list, and at some point, everything comes back!  Icloud remember all my networks and do not allow me to blow out them?

    I have reset my network preferences to see if that helps, and the question comes up eventually.  I have not tried to move to a new ID from icloud, which isn't really an option at this time.

    Reflections on how to remedy this situation?

    Yes, iCloud will synchronize networks between devices, for 'help you '. You can clean it by no synchronization each device and remove then add them slowly back one by one.

  • Crazy Safari, I can't press 'shift' and press 'h' together

    Hello everyone,

    I really try the search response, but it seems that no one have the same problem as me. As noted on my subject on the safari version 9.1.1, version OS X El Capitan 10.11.5, every time I want to press 'shift' and 'h' key together it seems that my tab all disappear and I go to the apple.com website. I have also tried using chrome to do the same thing but doesn't seem to have any problem, so I think the problem is the safari itself. The problem persists after that I updated my OS X.  Oh and I tried to use app to remove the malware or adware, but it does not detect anything.

    It was very long and I don't notice really this problem a lot because I don't really use uppercase ' h' on my tongue, but it still bothers me.

    Someone knows about this problem and maybe help me. I have a video that would prove it.

    I'm so frustrated and I wanted to reinstall my OS X, but unfortunately my internet is so slow and have to wait like 14 hours...

    Link to the video I mentioned:

    https://drive.Google.com/open?ID=0B5tAW2fzPQRlbXhvMkdFTmpTRkU

    Any help will be greatly appreciated and sorry if you find my English not understandable (not my 1st language).

    Try to reset the settings of Safari:

    1. open Safari

    2. click on the Safari menu at the top (to the right of the Apple logo)

    3. Select the Preferences/Privacy tab

    4. click on remove all data from the Web site

    5. close Safari.

    Remove cache Safari files:

    1. click on finder

    2. look for the menu GO to top

    3. click on GO and hold down the option key. This will show a user library folder.

    4. click library and find the Caches folder

    5. in the folder caches com.apple.Safari Ouvrezledossier

    6. move the Cache.db file Trash.

    Hi BSRC$, in stock

    1. You have security software installed on the computer?
    2. You receive an error message when you restart the computer?

    Reinstalling Windows XP to the factory setting would not be the first option.

    It is possible that some third-party programs or the services installed on the computer interfere with the installation of service pack 3.

    I suggest that you try to uninstall service pack 3 from the computer by using the recovery console and subsequently ask the article below for what to do before installing the service pack 3on the computer.
