• Windows 7 Home premium network problem, computers can access the internet, but they do not see each other on the network

  I was trying to set up a homegroup on my main computer, but on the second computer, I never had the opportunity to join the homegroup. I'm sure that I have everything set up properly, but I can't get the second computer to join.

  I have a switch that my internet runs and a cat cable goes to each computer. Each computer can access the internet without any problem, but none appear in other network list. They have the same name of working group, I just can't understand it. I use Windows Firewall.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Maybe this can help.

  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.

• Dell has developed a passwoord and cannot access the Windows XP system on a network share in Windows 7.

  Original title: network router, XP computer and Windows 7 laptop computer dilemma.

  My system XP computer is part of a network using a router. I also have a laptop Windows 7, using the same network. Reference Dell set up a password so that the network is not accessible without password, reducing the risk of piracy. Now, I can not in the XP system because of the defined password.  How to reset or enter the password on the XP computer?

  Hi Scottid2,

  1. do you receive error messages when you access the Windows XP system?

  2. What is the password being set by Dell?

  You can check in the Windows 7 system if the password protected sharing is enabled. When protected by password sharing is enabled, people using other computers on your network cannot access your shared folders or printers unless they have a user account on your computer.

  You can turn off password protected sharing and check if it helps.

  For more information, see the articles:

• I have problems to connect to my network wireless computers in my house running XP Pro.

  Hello. I have problems to connect to my network wireless computers in my house running XP Pro. I set up my wireless router to use WPA - PSK encryption. When I type in the passphrase on computers running XP in my house, I get an error message indicating that the password must be 5 to 13 ASCII characters or 10 to 26 characters in hexadecimal. It doesn't even seem like it checks the password. The error immediately.

  I tried to connect to the network using my work running Windows 7 laptop and it works fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  original title: cannot connect wireless

  Go, I tried and it worked was that you have to be sure what parameters you have set when you set the security of your are wireless (for example the Type of security, Encryption Type etc.) and they have to be compatible with the version of your laptop.
  Older versions usually have 64bitWEP or WEP 128 bit and newer versions have WPA, WPA2-Personal (PSK).

  The 64-bit and 128-bit require 5 or 13 characters. These characters can be obtained when you configure the wireless (it will ask you to put the characters and the characters will be automatically converted to hexadecimal characters, which it must be remembered that they are the password wireless).

  WPA or WPA2 - Personal (PSK) are easier to implement and the passwords are normal characters that you want it to be.

  Then go to your security wireless set up the page and re - configure the password or the type of network and it should help

• I want to home network 2 computers

  I have two computers that I want to connect through a computer network. First PC has Windows Vista Ultimate and secondly has Windows 7 Home premium, I believe. I have a Cisco Linksys router connected to the Windows 7 computer. This will be possible. I am trying to connect to Windows Vista wireless. I have to connect via ethernet cable or can I connect wirelessly. Or is it simply not possible due to back possible compatibility problems. Vista computer cannot be upgraded because of my school with Windows 7 compatibility problems you are trying to fix. I would get the other connected computer in the meantime. If my children can access the internet.

  Hello

  Both computers must be able to connect to the wireless router (if they have a WiFi adapter) or wired
  or even a single journey. This will give them access to the internet independently of each other. Then, you can
  set up the sharing between them if necessary.
