No file/printer sharing between 2 Vista machines

I have a dell desktop of Vista 520, connected directly to the SMC router then the modem cable and a new dell 1720 laptop computer vista wireless connected to the router. Both connect to the web and are enabled for sharing all. When you look at the map of the network on both systems other machine appears correctly on the network, but with a switch between them and the router. I have disabled the firewall on both machines. 1720 shows the 520 as being on the network (discovered when the other computers on the network is selected), but has no access to file, such that he cannot talk to the printer network that is connected to the router. The Office 520 shows not even the 1720 as being on the network working group, but he shows in the network map? The two machines are configured for the same private network and are fully enabled in the network and sharing Center. Network Vista seems to be much more complex and therefore more prone to problems when you install XP then. All ideas are welcome.

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, running on Windows 7 sharing files and printer as above will take care of this for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

  • Network sharing between two virtual machines to XP

    Looks like it should be easy, but for some reason I can't make it work.  MacPro with two XP virtual machines running.  I want to share some files between virtual machines.  I tried to put them both in Bridge mode, but I was unable to ping each other.

    Is there anything else I need to do?

    I'm not too familiar with sygate.  As you have discovered, yes Windows Firewall allows for sharing of files across, but it disables ping responses (unless you enable it manually).  If you have Sygate running on one of these virtual machines, I would disable the windows one if you don't have multiple firewalls on the system for you in trouble...

    Open ports 135-139 (TCP and UDP) and also open 445 (TCP and UDP).

  • file sharing between LAN workgroup-need a permission that 'everyone'

    I run Vista, and I often need to help my wife, who works under 7, organized and administer some of his personal papers.

    It is more convenient to do this on the network, rather than running my wife his machine a lot.

    It works fine when I put these folders permissions to "everyone". Both machines are on the same workgroup and I can access his machine and all those files in read/write.

    However, I am not better than "everyone"? I don't have any other users (like our children) on his computer to be able to see personal records. I just want him and myself, read/write, them.

    I looked in on his 7 machine permissions dialog box (7 Home premium 32-bit), but I can't find how to specify a network user or workgroup for read/write access. The only people who appear in the dialog box "Choose to share with people" are user accounts on a physical machine.

    Related to this - on a Windows help site, I saw a dialog box that says 'Choose people on the network to share with' but on my wife's machine, it says that "choose people to share with.

    I activated the file & printer sharing, disabled sharing password protected, etc. on both computers.

    We do not run any firewall left 3rd on each machine.

  • File sharing between two computers with DIFFERENT Versions of Windows (XP & Vista)

    I just bought a WRT54G4 Wireless-G router broadbad & am a n00bie to this any thng in network.  I like the current state of things now, all considering that both my desktop PC (Windows XP Home Edition) & my laptop wireless PC (Windows Vista Home Premium) are online (local & Internet) BUT I can't seem to get things while my desktop PC sharing files which can then be read and otherwise accessible by the laptop.

    Here's what I'm trying to...

    * Have BOTH computers access the Internet via a private network (which I already managed to do)

    * Having the Office to share files that are accessible (wireless or not) from my laptop

    Essentially, I want to be able to use the TWO HDs according to needs.

    My office is an old computer AMD Duron 1 Ghz. with 512 MB RAM & can handle a FEW small spots, but the big gun is my laptop (A 1.86 Ghz. Intel Pentium with 3 GB of RAM). Because of his speed & memory, I would like to have the laptop handle larger & more intensive tasks.

    Although my laptop has a smaller hard drive compared to my office (A 136 GB HD in the office (200 GB) compared to a 141 GB (I guess this HD is around this size, but since it came pre-installed, & I am currently leasing to buy, I don't know), I would like to be able to use if possible of the TWO HDs.)  All I need is for both computers see the two HDs & all the files on it.

    I tried implementing the sharing of files, as shown elsewhere on the Linksys site, but he lost when I rebooted both my computers, since that's what the page told me to do (I followed Windows XP as the Office has all the files that I want to share & Windows XP is the operating system of the desktop).  Should I have not done this?

    In addition, my ultimate goal is to GET RID of the big bulky monitor I connected to the back end of my desktop PC & all simply use the laptop instead, because it does not take a lot of desktop space.  Y at - it an emulator "Virtual monitor" or software of some sort that I can download (for FREE please ) that will allow me to see the jobs of all the computers on my network, just as if I

    had REAL monitors?  If so, where could I find one?

    In short, together, I have accomplished a lot lately since I bought the router & linked computers, as you can see, I still need help & I've got some learning to do.

    Any help I can get would be MOST appreciated.

    See you soon

    Make sure that the file and printer sharing is enabled...

    Also, make sure the computer are in the same workgroup...

    Default workgroup in Windows Vista has been renamed to WORKING group. In Windows XP, the default workgroup name is MSHOME...

    Also go into the computer on each computer software firewall and set it to "trust", other computers on your network.
    If your firewall or PC security program maintains a list of approved applications (also known as a "zone of confidence"), so make sure that your router is in the zone of confidence on your firewall...

  • Problem to create the Internet connection sharing between Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    Original title: Internet connection sharing between Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    Hello

    Recently, I plugged a laptop running Windows XP to a desktop computer running Windows Vista using a standard Ethernet cable with the intention of use sharing of Internet connection. The notebook contains a wireless connection that I've routed to the office via the cable said.  While the initial phase of installation went well (I was too lazy to do it manually, so I just used the Wizard "Set up a home or small business network" Windows XP,) I had to turn off the host computer to install a program. When I tried to set up ICS again, I couldn't connect to the Internet by using ICS. After this failure, I tried to configure the properties of TC/IPv4 (IP, gateway by default, etc.) manually, but I still couldn't run.  I am able to access the shared host PC and client files. It seems to me that some service essential to the proper functioning of the ICS may be disabled in some way, but it's just speculation, as I have no evidence of such a service. Help would be most appreciated.

    Thank you

    I tried this before using a laptop to share internet with my 360.  problem is there was Nat on the router, and it is in contradiction with the ics.

    Anyway long story short I did some research on the Internet and discovered that if you're behind a router ICS will be confllict with her, as ICS also does routing. a much better option is to "bridge the conections ' on the laptop.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/hnw_bridge_install.mspx?mfr=true

    If you go this route, you need to set a static ip address for the office,

    Either that or if you want to continue using ICS put the laptop in the DMZ in the router may help, but it will be less secure.

    Hope that this helped good luck

  • XP Pro SP 3 firewall blocking UDP 137 and 138 even though exception "File and Print sharing" is selected

    I am running XP Pro SP 3 on a working group. I'm trying to access the files from a Windows 7 machine on the same workgroup. But the XP firewall blocking UDP 137 and 138 even though exception "File and Print sharing" is selected. When I disable the XP firewall, all right.

    Here are a few entries in the firewall exception log file:

    I did some research on another site, and I came up with the FIX for this issue. It has to do with the node XP somehow getting ready to type "Peer-to-peer". I applied the fix in this article:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/903267

    and the problem is now solved.

    Please come back and let everyone know how you fixed the end!

    However, the fact that this has happened and you don't know how concerned me (if it was my machine).

    Here's what I propose for extra cleaning:

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know usingGoogle (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.
