Not able to save from the laptop to the office on a network.

Hello

I have 2 computers.

The #1 computer is a Dell XPS 400 desktop that running Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 directly connected to a Linksys WRT54G wireless router with an Internet connection.

The #2 computer in a Dell Studio 1737 laptop running Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1, connect to the Internet and the desktop via the wireless router wirelessly.

I have no problem, go out to the internet or to see the files and folders that I've shared desktop so that I can pull them up and change them to the laptop.

The problem I have right now, it is that when I try to open, modify and then save a file on the desktop, I get an error message. Here are the steps that I tried to use a file TEST SAVE.txt that I created on the desktop in order to try to understand the problem.

1. open the shortcut to my laptop in the folder that contains the TEST SAVE.txt. on my desk

2. double-click on TEST SAVE.txt

3. make a simple change in the document.

4. choose Save in the file menu.

Using this method, I get this error message.

"Unable to create file name\TEST \\computer name\directory SAVE.txt.
Make sure that the path and file name are correct.

I also tried by repeating steps 1 to 3 above, but by choosing RECORD under in the file menu drop-down. When I do this it tells me that the file already exists, and I want to replace it. When I choose yes I get another error message saying the same thing as above.

I checked to make sure that the files and folders on the desktop have been properly defined under attributes.

No READ-ONLY checkbox.
No hidden check box.

Still no luck. Prolly something simple that I forgot, but any help in this would keep a few gray hairs to show.

Thank you

Hi Vlad70,

Thanks for posting. Instead of using a shortcut to the file. Can you access the sharing, open it from there and see if you can save it?

I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

  • Not able to scan from the printer to my computer control panel using the HP Photosmart 5510

    Hello

    I recently bought the new HP Photosmart 5510 all in one - and I am not able to scan from my printer to my computer.

    I am however able to scan by launching the scan of the computer. I talked to HP customer earlier this evening and we ran printing + scan doctor and can't find any problems.

    I am running Windows 7-64 bit and that you have installed my wireless printer using the Installation CD supplied with the printer today.

    I could not finish troubleshooting with the technician that I talked to because I had to go to work. The person that I spoke with proposed possibly the full functionality of software downloaded from the hp.com site, which I'm happy to do, but I think that it is useless, because I have the CD of installation here. (The rep that I talked to was very nice, but I prefer not to have to uninstall and reinstall if it is not necessary)

    Because as I mentioned above, everything works perfectly and I am able to scan - but not directly from the printer itself.

    When I try to scan from my printer to my computer an error message appears on the control panel of the printer indicating that: there is no scan destination options of analysis chosen / no..

    However, I can't find anywhere with my HP software where I could add / make sure that the destinations were there. (As I could on my other printers. (IE. By the solution Center)

    This printer does not appear to be a solution center that I could find and the scanner installed with the CD icon doesn't give me any options regarding changing the settings of the parser

    I wonder:

    1. the Hp Photosmart 5510 does not have the capacity to scan from the printer control panel?

    2 OR the CD installation provided with my printer only has the base drivers as the agent of tech support suggested? Which means to scan from my printer I need to download drivers for your hp Web site?

    3. or is the problem because of something else entirely?

    Thanks for your help!

    HI Dublin,

    Follow the steps below to uninstall and reinstall the printer.

    1. open Control Panel

    2. click on uninstall a program

    3 uninstall the Photosmart 6510 in the list

    4 restart your computer

    5. download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player

    http://www.Adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

    6 download the drivers and full software functionality, and then reinstall the printer.

  • Not able to print from the phone to printer

    My husband & I had the new iphone4s Apple. We also got a new printer Officejet 4622 around the same time. We have everything synced up to w / our PCs, iphones (2), & printer. It was great! As a first step, we could really print Photos, Documents, Etc. directly from anywhere from our phones on our printer sitting at home! But then we did not have our fax plugged in right (we were not able to send or receive a fax at all) so we "thought" was only what was necessary to connect to our fax to power send & receive a fax.

    Now as I said our Phones (2) DO NOT even give us the opportunity to send it to our printer at home more! Help, please!
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Stacy,

    I'm sorry to hear that you cannot print from phone to a printer.

    (1) you are trying to print wireless?

    (2) what happens when you try to print?

    (3) you receive an error message/code?

  • Of SSL VPN is not able to access from the outside

    Looks like you will have to allow SSL VPN from the WAN traffic to the free zone (ZP-WAN-to-self), so you need to update the political map (PMAP-JM-WAN) in particular the ACL (ACL-VPN-PROTOCOL), must allow access to port 443 of any source IP address:

  • Not able to download from the internet

    When I try to download a file or a program (e.g. update of Java to open some of my programs) on the internet a window pop up appears saying:
    You have chosen to open jxpiinstall.exe which is a: binary file you want to save this file?
    If I click 'Save' and nothing happens.  It's very frustrating.

    In your original post, you mentioned an EXE file, now you say it's a JNLP file.  What you trying to do?  If you try to update Java, go to

    http://Java.com/en/ and download the update.  I don't think that a JNLP file is executable.

    Good luck.
