• Network Vista and XP - connection to the network printer problem

  I try to print to a network printer connected to a vista from a computer xp machine

  Two computers on a network
  Vista machine is connected through the ethernet card and has a connected printer
  XP machine is via wireless network

  Both machines have the same network name "mshome".
  Open ports on the firewall and also left Software Firewall

  When I print a job, I see it be wound on the info from the printer on both machines, but then, it is automatically deleted.

  I am able to access the hard disks from two computers

  The printer works this way, when you share a printer between XP and Vista where the printer is connected to Vista, XP will communicate with the printer and its drivers Vista.

  So as I suspected it was due from pilots, in your case XP will be offered 64 bit readers which it does not recognize

  If we rely on the printer connected to the Vista 64-bit operating system operating system 32-bit, we need to install the additional drivers (especially the XP must be with 32 bits, only 32 bits of the operating system will not show if it's 32-bit or 64-bit)

  So in this case, you must right click on the printer on Vista and go to the sharing tab, and then click additional drivers, it will be the operating system and Version to select and you will need to select Windows XP x 86 and install the drivers

  Now your Vista will be the 32-bit and 64-bit drivers installed. Now, when you share the printer, when the Contacts XP Vista, Vista has drivers and it will be able to share the printer correctly. Anish

• Home network Vista and XP PC

  I set up a wireless network between a PC with Vista and the other with XP.  I can see the XP computer on the network adapter for Vista but cannot open the icon to access the shared folders.

  Hello

  You are using a router that is easier or making an ad hoc network?

  Leave a message from Bob Cerelli:

  The bases for troubleshooting are:

  1. make sure that you have the same (e.g., 192.168.0.x) intellectual property regime.

  2 make sure you have the same mask subnet, gateway, and DNS IP addresses.

  3. make sure you can ping the IP address of the other computer. Failure, just to test, make sure that you disable XP as well as any other firewall.

  4. make sure that you can test other computers by name.

  5. make sure that you have the same workgroup name (note the spaces)

  6. for purposes of troubleshooting, turn off XP and completely uninstall any other firewall software. You can always add more complexity once get you it working.

  7 with XP, make sure you have the same user name and password that the person by connecting to other computers. The default setting for XP Pro is to require a password for network access.

• Discovery Network Vista problems

  I have a PC running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit version. The specs are 400 GB hard drive, Intel 2160 1 .8GHz duo core CPU, 2 GB memory DDR2 Ram. I use Kaspersky Internet Security 2009. I've been running this program for a month without any problem. I have the firewall in Windows Defender disabled and I use Kaspersky as 2 firewalls running at the same time, of course, could cause problems. My problem just started yesterday is the following. I have a Playstation 3 in another room that I share my media from my PC with. I did this for about a year with no problems. Now, I can do more is this. I checked my settings of network discovery and it is on 'custom' and I believe that he used to be in the position "on". But now when I try to turn it on by clicking on the button and clicking on apply will welcome back to custom. I can turn off, but not on. He's stuck on the custom. And I think that it is that I won't be able to share my media with my Playstation 3 into the other room. I know it says that if I changed my firewall settings it could cause this problem.  He said that my firewall settings must match the settings of Protocol I think? I tried the system restore, and it says my system restore is not completed successfully because of an "unspecified error" I tried restoring the system 4 times and I have been unsuccessful. About 2 months ago, I ran without any problems system restore. I can always go online and do everything else on my computer with no problems. It's just a problem of media sharing. I think the fact that he is stuck on "custom" is perhaps the problem because it makes my computer impossible. I used to see my Playstation 3 on the network when I hit view other devices on this network. Also my Playstation 3 always goes online and working properly, while sharing the same router as my PC wireless. I tried to turn off the two firewalls. Try each one separately. To have both. Temporarily, I even uninstalled Kaspersky Internet Security for my computer. I even temporarily shut down Kaspersky and Windows Defender turned off completely. Nothing has worked. My network discovery is still set to custom. I've also restored the firewalls on both of these programs to their default settings. Nothing has worked. I have download a different media player a few days ago, called TVersity. I thought this might have something to do with the problem, so I deleted completely. But I think he can still have messed up something in my computer. Sorry to be so long-winded but can someone help me? Does anyone else have this problem? I tried to solve this problem for 7 1/2 hours in a row and I'm frustrated exetremely and all ideas. I'm afraid that I can get more dirty things. Thank you all in advance for your help.

  Hi stangrun,

  DNScache, Function Discovery Resource Publication (fdrespub), Discovery (upnphost) UPNP device host and SSDP (ssdpsrv) are Windows services.  To access, please click Start, type Services in the search box.  Right-click on the service and choose Run as administrator.  When the service window come up you will be able to locate and see whether or not those services have already begun.  Alternatively, you can right-click and choose start their execution.

• Sharing files on home network - Vista Home Premium 32 and 64

  Hello people,

  I searched for hours, I made countless different steps to try to understand this point, and yet I'm still far away.
  I have two computers on my home network.
  -Machine 1 is Vista Home Premium 32-bit and is connected via a wired connection to my NetGear router.
  -Machine 2 is Vista Home Premium 64-bit and is connected via a Wireless connection to my NetGear router.
  I have a WD WorldBook connected to the Machine 1 via USB and I would like to be able to access it through my home network on Machine 2.
  Here are my settings that may be useful to know.
  Machine 1:
  -Cable
  -Network: NotURInterwebs (private network)
  -Working Group: DISCOVERY
  -The discovery of the network: WE
  -File sharing: WE
  -Public folder sharing: OFF
  -Printer sharing: OFF
  -Password protected sharing: WE
  -Media Sharing: OFF
  Machine 2:
  -Wireless
  -Network: NotURInterwebs (private network)
  -Working Group: DISCOVERY
  -The discovery of the network: WE

  -File sharing: WE

  -Public folder sharing: OFF

  -Printer sharing: OFF

  -Password protected sharing: WE

  -Media Sharing: OFF
  If I go into start-> network on the Machine 2 I see the other computer and the router, but when I click on the Machine 1 I get the following text:
  Windows cannot access \\Machine#
  Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there could be a problem with your network. In an attempt to identify and solve network problems, click on diagnose.
  Error code: 0 x 80070035
  The network path was not found.
  However, when I go to start-> network on computer 1 and click on Machine 2, I have no problem connecting.
  Does anyone have an ideas that could help me understand what is happening?
  Thank you!

  Hello

  Thanks for the detailed information.

  What antivirus application do you use?

  I suggest to change firewall security settings, or disable the security software on the system and try to access the location.

  Method 1:

  Disable the firewall on the Machine 1 and check the status of the issue.

  Enable or disable Windows Firewall

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

  Note: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall is enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

  Note: In addition to a firewall, you must also be an antivirus and anti-malware program to help protect your computer. Install Microsoft Security Essentials or another antivirus and anti-malware program and update it. Many of these programs update automatically.

  Method 2:
  Error code 0 x 80070035 indicates that the network path was not found. This problem occurs if the NetBIOS over TCP IP is not enabled in Windows Vista. Please follow the steps below.

  (a) click on «Start», enter "NCPA. CPL"(without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  (b) right click on the connection you use for the local connection, and then click "Properties".

  (c) click on the button continue to check the permission of the administrator.

  (d) click to select 'Protocol Internet Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' and then click 'properties '.

  (e) click on the button "Advanced" in the opened window. On the "WINS" tab, select 'Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP' and then click 'OK' to save the setting.

  The following article presents NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

• Remove or replace the name of the network (Vista, wired to the router)

  I have 4 computers on my network home (a new laptop and Windows 7 desktop computer and an older laptop and desktop Vista, which are replaced - laptops are wireless).  I had a LOT of problem with printer sharing, especially after a reboot printer goes offline, and I can't find any way to get them back another remove printers and reinstalling (disappointment, disappointment, disappointment) online.  And then I started having problems with one of the Vista (cables to the router) computers access the computer Windows 7 new, also wired to the router.

  Then I will begin first with the last problem.  Trying to get the old wired Office Access/recognize the new desktop windows 7 Wired, I ended up resetting my fairly new Linksys router e2500 to its factory setting - and in the process gained a new network name.  I finally understood how to get the laptops wireless to recognize the new network (should be easy, but it wasn't), but the old wired Vista insists on the use of the former name of network, one that appears in the network and sharing Center implementation.  The other funny thing is that even though she seems to be using the former name of network, I put on Jack autour with her so I don't have Internet access on my old Vista computer.

  I guess that because it is trendy, it seems not to worry about the network name, but it's bothering me because it's not fair.  However, I can't find any way to delete the old name of network.  I spent the day on that and am still confused.  Baffled because it is working and baffled because I can change the name.  I also get a lot of mistakes "Windows cannot access \\myWindows7computername" when I double click on the name displayed in the network folder of Windows Explorer (probably more serious problem).  In any case, I want to address what should be first the problem of easire.

  I discovered enabled network, public folder sharing, which transforms file on the computer discovery and Vista network, sharing the printer and sharing active files (but only on the printer and all the other things of file not checked), and sharing files public computer to Windows 7 (the one with the printers connected to it) - and passwords disabled on both (all computers).

  So my first question is how to make the network name on the Vista desktop wired old deleted/changed/replaced for the new name of the current network.  Why it does not insist in using the former name of network that no longer exists.

  Ron in round rock

  Sorry about that, but I got my answer from another forum, a Linksys Forum - and I will talk about a few things in case other people have this problem/question.

  To remove the network name that appears on the Network Center and sharing, click on the link to customize to the right of the network type - and on the next screen, click on merge or delete network locations, you will / should be able to remove (don't know what fusion done or means) the network with the wrong name, EXCEPT that you can't remove it If it is being used (which is / was the problem I had).  When I unplugged the cable between the computer and the router, I was able to remove the network location (the one with the old name of network), I tried to get rid of.

  Now for the confession.  All this has nothing to do with the name of the network - and most of the things in my original post is just smoke also.  I was going down the wrong path.  It turns out that with computers connected to a router, there is only one network involved and you can call it anything you like and it will work.  There is no selection of a network involved as in the case of a wireless network.

  Network with wired computers name is determined lby network name "you enter" on the screen to customize network settings, the screen you get when you click Customize on the screen of the Network Center and sharing - and you can type in anything you want here.  I'd so go through all this.  I simply had to re - enter the network name on the screen to customize network settings, that is simply a name that you can use for your own reference.

• Wireless network Vista says local only and a network not identified

  Original title: I'm having a problem only with my vista local wireless how to fix?

  We recently got cable internet time warner and I had trouble setting up so I spent an hour or so talking to their tech support. We got it running, but for some reason, my computer of all things can't go on the internet. It says it's connected, but I can't go on the internet.

• Unknown network Vista problem

  Just hooked up new wireless modem.  2 of the 3 laptops excellent work and we have Vista.  The third does not connect.  In terms of network, there is a red X between the network and the world.  The network is labeled 'Unidentified network' update WiFi device no error messages here.  Rebooted the modem, ran the sys restore.  The modem rcognizes my laptop very well and shows connected it has just shown the unidentified network.

  I recommend that you contact your ISP for installation instructions and assistance get the machine connected Vista and running.  They know better than we the right settings for their network.  I call them all the time for help and they almost always dome by for me.  Let them guide you throughout the process, even if that means setting up a new set of connections (you can delete those that work later).

  If they cannot help, post back and we'll see what we can do withut even configuration information.

  I hope this helps.

• How to network Vista workaround (the domain profile) location

  If Windows Vista is joined to a domain, the network connected to the field of authentication is marked as 'the domain profile.

  Unfortunately, if there is another NIC (Interfaces virtual VMWare), Vista doesn't know where they are. Whatever you choose for these NICs is 'public' or 'private '.

  The result is that a defined group policy Firewall profile 'Domain' the problem is never used, until additional network cards have been completely disabled.

  Anyone know a workaround to classify the VMWare NICs as "field located?

  Concerning

  Severin

  Try searching for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\" network {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} cards (e.g. VMnet1, VMnet 8, etc.), and by adding a REG_DWORD value called ' * NdisDeviceType ' set to 1. Then disable and re-enable the network cards. This will make disappear from "Network and sharing Center" Vista.

• Networking Vista disabled; IP config utility has a problem

  Embarrassing problem, wasted days trying to solve with the help of RoadRunner and SuperMicro technicians without success. Local connect only to the unidentified network (LAN SSA previous Setup) disappeared.  RoadRunner tests indicate the NETWORK card is defective (cable modem not seeing NIC); but internally, adapter is ping successfully so SuperMicro says that the adapter is fine! :(  No data of IPv6 in the network connection details; Is a local LAN connectivity status IPv4, IPv6 is limited, records the speed at 100 Mbit / s. activity packages sent but no follow-up. Microsoft Security Essentials, not 3rd party anti-virus running. Ran ipconfig to release/restore IPv6, got the error message there is no file. Ipconfig also generates the error message with most of the commands: "configuration utility IP has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. "ipconfig/displaydns command generates a file name? The line up is "1.0 ~.ip6.arpa [total: 31 zeros with periods between each of them]. The next line "registration name" has the same string of number zero. Nothing is able to dissolve this barrier. How can I fix?

  Ping the network adapter internal network address cannot tell you if the network card works. See if UN-installing and reinstalling, it helps. If it isn't, I suspect that the network adapter is down.

• Network Vista - "local access only" - unable to connect to the internet

  Hi all, I use my old y550 of one day, and I can't connect to the internet via my wireless router.  When I go to use the Connection Wizard internet, that I am able to connect to the router but not the internet.  Very, very annoying!  I tried all the trouble shooting tips in Vista, but none of them make any difference at all.   And oh yes, I put Vista "connect automatically" for the router, but it never - sticks I always (try to) reconnect manually.  How can happen on a new machine?

  Hi all, understood the problem - need to update the firmware on my linksys router.  Once I did, I could connect.  I still have to manually connect everytime I restart the computer, however, despite the box "connect automatically".  Any ideas?

• Results of Toshiba Connectivity Doctor or Vista network & sharing Center

  I bought a 802.11n router to allow additional coverage of my Toshiba with a 802.11n Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN give me and I never seemed to get the extra than I expected! I tried etc. Since a few weeks I got the laptop, and was beginning to lose patience and hope of ever is it solved, however I just noticed something that only confused me even further!

  I always use the connection to a network/network and sharing centre within Vista OS under my control, "connection status" of my networks etc. & it has never showed that the network which should give me ' isn't a 'g '! But earlier I found and used the Toshiba connectivity doctor, and I found it is sometimes shows the connection as a 'n', but still the Vista "connect to a network & Vista network and sharing Center" show the same broadcasting as a 'g '!

  What should I take as the most accurate, I have little additional coverage when I used to have a portable 'g' and a router 'g', but perhaps remotely an additional 2 meters which, depending on how wonderfully better is the "n" does not seem to live up to the expectation!

  I based my results of the exact coverage, physician connectivity Toshiba or Vista network sharing Center, they can be opened at the same time and showing the different results? I do not understand why they say different things? Crikey Ca? s driving me crazy!

  Hi friend

  already tried INTEL drivers? Theres a special broadcast of the site just about your wireless card, so if you please, visit this site and download the drivers from here:

  http://support.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/4965AGN/

  Maybe it s just a driver related problem. And another suggestion: use a single program to connect to wireless networks. Maybe they cause some internal conflicts in the system which turns off the feature n.

  Oh, and Don t forget to check the properties of the device manager/network on some technical parameters. Perhaps, it must be explicitly enabled, also on your router.
