Networking Windows 7 and a Windows 98 computer
Since the update to my Windows Vista computer to Windows 7, I can no longer communicate with an old Windows 98 computer I connected. I've assigned and IP for the Windows 98 computer and I've added to the list of networks on my Security Center Firewall (McAfee), as has been suggested as a possible solution. It did not work.
I need to be able to have the old Windows 98 computer on my home network for what one might consider a stupid reason (I've got an older scanner on this computer and large enough files that create scanners are also difficult to transfer to the new computer. The new scanner has stopped working after only a year and a half because of what HP calls irreparable electronic failure, so I use the old scanner on a Windows 98 computer for which the software was never updated for XP/Vista/7.
The Windows 7 computer see the network connection, but that is as far as things go. How can I get Windows 7 and Windows 98 computers to see and talk to each other?

Short answer: can not be done. You can access shared folders in Win98 to Windows 7 computer, but not the reverse. Scan on, one after the other using file transfer. You cannot use a Windows 7 Homegroup to connect this way, you must use the standard file sharing and printers (as in the working groups). Create an account on the Windows 98 computer that has the same user name and password for an account on the Windows 7 computer. Set up as usual on the Windows 98 file sharing computer and assign it to the same workgroup name that the Windows 7 computer use. It should then appear in a Windows 7 network and allow you to access shared folders Win98. You can see the computer Windows 7 from Windows 98, but you will not be able to access.
All confirmed as true, but - WHY?
Windows 7 keeps shoving homegroup into my face, as if all of the computers on the planet he runs.
This is the notion of a network is damaged. The idea of a network is to share resources.
After the days of violin which he inserted - PC after the name, I gave him, used for the first HOUSE as my location, then lost, has created a homegroup, when I never requseted it. Or simply behaving badly HURT.
I was finally able to get the computer to windows 7 in the same workgroup as my other computers.
It STILL shows it as connetion: internet! Stupid _...
And now when I try to access is no longer an error, but asks for a password.
My normal response to this is (Hit Enter Key - i.e. 'none' on well behaved systems.)
I wonder what Windows 7 by default?
No matter, the machine and the operating system will return to the store.

Hello
If there is no consideration of security, you can activate the account invited on all computers and configure the authorization for it.
Problems of permission and security with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.
All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account on all computers that they are allowed to connect to.
Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users.
Using the functionality of all saved the need to configure authorization for each of theestablished users, it does mean not all those who feel that they would like to connect.
Users who do not have an account on the computer are not part of the Everyone group.
If the LAN security is useless and users are not established, then move on the guest account provides the semi-open configuration.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-the-guest-account-on-or-off
---------------------
Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.
In the properties
Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.
This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.
The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.
When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).
* Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

Upgrading a network to Windows Vista to Windows 7 computer
I have a home network (XP based) which works very well for years. Three computers, two printers, and all worked very well together. It's just my wife and me, and network security has never been a high priority. Now, I want to add new computers to the system, one is a Dell with Windows Vista laptop. and it is a HP with Windows 7. I followed the Network Wizard I used before creating the network; I created a file and was walking and it ran on all of the old and new computers. The two XP machines can still talk to each other fine, the Vista machine can see two XP machines - but the machines XP get a window "permission error" when trying to access the Vista and WIndows 7 machine is on an island, he sees not all computers and all computers get a login screen before you can access the Windows 7 machine; even if we have no password on the Windows 7 computer. As I said - it's just my wife and me, and we have no password or sign ins on all machines and would like to keep this simplicity. FYI - all thte computers can access the internet fine and all use the same router to do. Please tell us how can I better return to the situation that I had before where I could sit to one count; access to all the others, without a bunch of security and authorization issues.

Home network (MSHOME) working group worked OK for the last 3 years. DSL, with an attached DLink wireless router cable modem. The network has been implemented with a Lenovo Thinkpad R60 that Windows XP with a USB attached HP PSC 1210 printer (X computer). My daughter got a second ACER laptop with Windows XP (computer Y) and I used the floppy disk created by the network configuration wizard to get connected to the network, everything worked OK. My wife is the mini netbook HP under Windows7 starter edition (Comuter Z) and I used the same disk to be connected, and I made sure that the Working Group has been installed as (MSHOME).

Connection to the network with Vista and Windows 7 computers
A similar question was answered before, but it's XP computers I use Vista and Windows 7.
I have a Windows 7 computer that is part of a home network and who also has a connected printer. I want to access the printer from a Vista computer that is also on the network. When I try to connect to the Windows 7 computer, I get the error "logon failure: the user has not granted the type of logon required on this computer."
I've seen solutions have been when the system tries to access the printer was an XP system. Can someone help me with this problem?
Thank you

Hello
Did you change your computer?
This problem occurs if the (LLTD) link layer topology discovery Responder component is not installed on the Windows XP computer.
Network card in Windows Vista makes network diagrams of connections between network devices that can be used to troubleshoot connectivity issues. Network map uses a discovery protocol called Link-Layer Topology LLTD (Discovery) that queries other devices on the network to determine how the network is organized.
Windows Vista includes the software components that implement the LLTD protocol. For other devices on the network to display on the map, they must activate a discovery protocol that can meet the demands of mapping from the Windows Vista-based computer.
I suggest you to install the update on windows XP.

Problems with Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista computer networking
I'm totally frustrated. I got a home network that worked with a PC running Windows XP Home and a laptop running Vista Basic. Then, I added a PC running XP Pro and it has added to the network. He works for a while and I was able to share files and printers. Then all of a sudden I can't access Windows XP Pro PC to Vista Basic laptop and get the following message:
"\\PC1\My documents is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
Not enough server storage is available to process this command. »
I tried the solutions for the "memory insufficient servier" problem but none of them are working and none of them address the element of authorization. Vista Basic laptop can still access the XP computer at home and the XP Pro computer can access the Vista Basic laptop but the laptop Vista Basic responds with the above message whenever I try to open the files on the XP Pro computer.
I tried to reconfigure the network from the Vista Basic laptop, but every time I have save the setup.exe on a flash drive network and then try to run is one of the PC Windows XP he says the information is not readable, and I need to rerun the Configuration Wizard from the network on the original computer. When I try to reverse the process by running the Configuration Wizard from the network on XP computers then the Vista laptop, he fails and suggested that I have configure the network manually. I'm sick of this. Can anyone help.

Hello
I'm afraid that, as most of the troubleshooting steps have been tried before without much success, only two options remaining to recover operating systems are:
(a) the system restore:
System Restore helps you restore system files from your computer to an earlier point in time. As a general rule, you want to restore your computer to a restore point created before the date and time when you started noticing problems. The descriptions of the restore points are created automatically with the name of an event, such as Windows Update to install an update. System Restore returns your computer to the State it was in before the restore point that you choose.
To learn more about how to run system restore you can follow this link given below:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/restore-system-files-and-settings
NOTE: However, it is said that the system restore does not affect your personal information such as e-mail, documents, photos, videos, etc., but it is quite possible that some of your personal files are removed during the restoration of the system.
During the restoration of the system, there may be errors and those errors can damage the files that are present in the system. And turn off your computer during the restore process may also lead to the loss of files. Sometimes, when the restoration of the system is down, it can lead to the loss of important files as well.
(b) in the upgrade of the Place:
An upgrade on the spot is the final solution before you have to reinstall the operating system.
Note that it takes as much time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.Note: Applications that you have installed Web sites and DVD is deleted. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.
Hope this helps, if you need help with windows, please let us know we will be happy to help you.
