Networking of the XP machine to Vista (also Win 7)

My main computer is a Vista desktop computer.
There my printer connected to it.

I have several XP laptops I want to enter the network.
These laptops can use the wireless network. They just are not observed by the main computer to Vista.

With this being the case, they can use the shared printer that is attached to the vista computer.

What steps should I take to get these XP computers to be able to do "part of network domestic?

I have a Windows 7 laptop too who has the same problem.

Thank you

    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.

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

    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 .

  • The two showup labels network in the virtual machine Summary tab

    I changed the port group to a virtual machine from XYZ to ABC. Everything works well, the server pings. But in the Summary tab, I see the XYZ portgroup and group of ports of ABC. Network port group in Edit setttings show correctly.

    When I changed the port Summary tab group should appear the new port ideally group but its showing two groups of ports. Why is this happening? Any ideas?

  • No network on the virtual machine after the use of converter

    I was running a basic vm (WinXP) on an esxi4.1 host running short of disk space.

    So I ran the vCenter Converter Standalone client to copy the original VM on a new - the only thing that I changed the size of the disc thin provisioned avaiable.   The copy/convert seemed to work your.

    I started in the new virtual machine, and it came exactly as the old one (with the largest disk).

    ... but the network on the works of more than vm.

    I can still use vSphere to connect to the esxi server and bring up the VM console (which tells me that the network the server works very well).  When I look at the configuration of the virtual machine, it looks exactly like the old (complete with a network powered).   But on the virtual machine, I can't even ping the router, much less get to the dhcp server.

    I even went so far as to stop the virtual machine, remove the network card, restart the virtual machine (if the network has been removed from the virtual machine), stop the virtual machine again, add a NEW network adapter.

    Still the problem remains.  The virtual machine has a network card - but has no network.

    A few thoughts:

    You use a managed physical switch? If so, check if the MAC address of the VM is seen on one of the uplink ports.

    The network management and the virtual machine using the same IP subnet? You could probably try (if possible) is to create an another vSwitch and attach the XP VM to it to see if there is a problem with the virtual machine and the management on the same vSwitch network.

  • I ONLY see comments on the network of the time machine?

    I've implemented a Time Machine Network, adding a TP link Extender to get signal from my office where the router from BT's home. I also checked the comments option and also the hidden network too in the House, however I don't see the option comments - what Sky does not recognize.

    What Hat I did wrong?  I have a spare homehub5 BT - can I use it as a spare router in the House to boost signal more?

    any help much appreciated!

    Basically, the 'Comments Networking' function only works with Apple mobile networks. You cannot extend this network with a non-Apple as your TPLink device.

    In your case, you would need another time Capsule or AirPort Extreme to extend the network of comments.

  • Device on the network of the virtual machine online.

    Hello

    Is this possible with VMware Workstation (v7.1.4) to put in place a device that online on the network s? I ve searched for an answer but have not got good ideas how to solve, if possible. I ve found today called transparent bridge, but these discussions have been associated with ESXi that I not use my VM machines on.

    The idea is to implement an IPS that captures the traffic online (two network cards) and not with a passive listening mode unique network card.

    I will attach a layout for you to get a better view of what I want to implement, but basically it s like I want to do :---([eth2] 3D2500 [eth3]) (router)-(switch). Same VM network between router/eth2 and eth3/switch.

    Explanation of the features in the attached presentation:

    Router - running with Ubuntu installed on a host.
    3 2500 - running Sourcefire IPS with interface 4. Management and two for online solution.
    Servers - run Windows XP or Ubuntu.

    Ethernet in the VMX file settings are as follows:

    ethernet0. Present = 'TRUE '.
    ethernet0. ConnectionType = "custom".
    ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE".
    ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".

    Ethernet1. Present = 'TRUE '.
    Ethernet1. ConnectionType = "custom".
    Ethernet1.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE".
    Ethernet1. AddressType = 'generated '.
    Ethernet1.virtualDev = "e1000".

    ethernet2. Present = 'TRUE '.
    ethernet2. ConnectionType = "custom".
    ethernet2.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE".
    ethernet2. AddressType = 'generated '.
    ethernet2.virtualDev = "e1000".

    ethernet3. Present = 'TRUE '.
    ethernet3. ConnectionType = "custom".
    ethernet3.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE".
    ethernet3. AddressType = 'generated '.
    ethernet3.virtualDev = "e1000".

    ethernet0.VNET = "VMnet4.
    Ethernet1.VNET = "VMnet4.
    ethernet2.VNET = "VMnet2.
    ethernet3.VNET = "VMnet2.

    Does anyone have a good idea how to fix this?

  • Speed limit of the network in the Virtual Machine

    I used to use a command in a VM's VMX file in VMWare Workstation 6 which allowed me to adjust the speed of the network in bits per second.  For example, I could put the speed of the network down to a modem of 28.8 or less if I wanted to.  I don't remember the VMX command to implement and I can't find my documentation, even if I know for sure, I used the feature in the past to solve the problems that occur only during slow connections (I've not used a team).  It's a manual change of the VM VMX file and it worked very well.  Anyone know which command I'm looking for?

    Maybe ethernet0.txbw.limit. Check out this link too.

    Any thoughts?

    Sorry, I'm not sure I can follow you. In any case, what you're trying to do is to configure adaper network of the virtual machine as "Bridged" within the parameters of the virtual machine and then change network card settings in as guest OS:

  • Error when installing SSO 5.5 on the new Machine

    I tried to install VMware vCenter Single Sign-On VMware-VIMSetup-all 5.5.0 - 5.5.0 - 1312299.iso, and like others, I have a problem. I want to install on a VM Windows Server Datacenter 2008 R2 SP1 64 bit new.

    The first time I ran the installer, I display Single Sign-On prerequisite vCenter and realized that my network on the new machine settings were a bit off. So I canceled the installation program, fixed my network, started the Setup program again and this time I got the message "DNS resolution is effective."

    Then I continued my way. I select "vCenter Single Sign-On for your first server vCenter Server", it starts to install, the State can "configure SSO components... "and then it shows" restoration of action: ", then"vCenter Single Sign-On the Setup Wizard ended prematurely because of an error. "All attempts to install later resulted in the same thing.

    I've seen some solutions proposed elsewhere, and I've tried:

    Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try, or any other information that might help?

    So I think that I just found out the real reason, it was a failure. In the above-mentioned documentation, they say that; "" "^-are not valid characters in a password. But they missed a character: space. I was using a space character in my password.

    I tried on the setup of a bunch of times. When one of the invalid characters above is used, Setup will continue anyway. And then launching a 1326 in this another log file that I mentioned. Using a space does the same thing. And it's not as if they are not checking the password at all. If you do not meet the complexity requirements in their documentation, then you get this notice:

    I don't know why they accept invalid characters in the installation program. And I don't know why they missed listing the space character as a character not valid in their documentation. It is an ASCII character, after all (0x20).

    I tried a few other passwords a long time ago, but I think that was before found this documentation, so I used one of the other characters that are not valid. Or maybe I used another invalid character who is undocumented. If the space is not documented as an invalid character, so who knows how many other invalid characters are?

    And so I say to all those who believe that they have the same problem I did:

    First of all, make sure that it is the same problem. Check that you have found an error code 1326 in the other file vminst.log, located in a directory above %TEMP%. If you can't find a 1326, then you probably have a different problem.

    Then, try other passwords. Do not use the documented invalid characters. And keep in mind that there may be other invalid characters without papers.

    The password doesn't have to be the same as the password for the local Windows administrator account. Just, it cannot contain invalid characters without papers.

  • Connect comments on a different network than the host

    Hello

    I just started to use VMWare instead of Virtual PC, and I'm stuck trying to do something that I used to have the installer.

    I want to be able to connect to a virtual computer to a wireless network and independent of the host connection. In this case, the host will not be connected to a WLAN network, but the virtual machine will be.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks for any help.

    Not regarding virtualization, I suspect unless you remove the .inf and .pnf files in the folder %systemrot%\inf of the guest for the VMware NICs and and add IDs PCI of its .inf file for the .inf for your wireless card that you have copied to here and also change the drivers referenced in the .inf for your wireless card file to be the VMware ones. Not tried this, just a theory and not a beautiful there :|
