• Need help for JO HP 8500 all in one printer on home network OS Windows 2003 server a.

  I have a new HP OJ 8500 has everything in a printer connected wireless to my local network.  I have internet access using the printer, can access the printer using a wireless iPod and can see the printer on the Modem / Router using Windows Explorer using the computer with the Windows 2003 Server operating system.  However, I can't access the printer using "Add a printer" in Server 2003.  In addition, the disc that came with the printer does not load printer installation information.  The message was "printer not supported using this operating system.  Help will be greatly appreciated!

  Hi mwcuff,

  There is no driver for Win Server 2003. The only thing I can suggest is to make an addition, a printer and refer them to the CD that came with the printer to see if it will load a basic driver.

  Hello

  Based on this and that is not a printer ready network. Has a network card?
  Another thing, you need to consider: HP does NOT support Windows 7 (for her) so you have to get this first.

  Good luck.

• How can I move the home button between the front and the address bar?

  Her that I have my firefox put in place over the years is to place the buttons like this:

  [Back] [Front] [Stop/Reload] [Home] [Progress Animation] [Address bar]

  Now in FF29 I'm trying to move the home button between BackForward buttons and the address bar and it won't let me.

  I thought that FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet? * confused *.

  Is there a way to do it, am I missing something? Thank you

  "I thought that FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet?
  
  Who told you that was incorrect, as far as I'm concerned. Firefox is more customizable than the 'competition', but not as much as the previous versions were.

  The home button can be moved, but the back / button drop-down list is set to the address bar - they cannot be separated.

  The combo Stop / Reload button is locked in the address bar.
  
  The 'old' activity indicator has disappeared. Deemed unnecessary with the animation of loading on the left corner of each tab, where the favorite icon once the page is completely loaded.

  Many users install the extension Classic theme restaurateur.
  
  https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
  But I don't think it will turn out to be along term solution. As users begin to install other extensions, I think they're going to face compatibility issues where the new extension "expects" the user to use what Firefox is come with - not the 'retro' functions

• Can play.wma files fully but only seconds of .mp3 files on a home network with Windows 7 and WMP 12.0.7601 wireless

  Hello community,

  I have a problem with Windows Media Player 12.0.7061 when I try to listen to music through my home network Windows 7.  Windows Media Player has no problem playing the media all types of files locally on the Windows 7 system.  On my home network, .wma files play well through the (Pioneer) wireless speaker, but .mp3 and .mp4 files only play for the first ~ 5 seconds and then the audio stops.  If I wait long enough, Windows Media Player will skip to the next song and continue to play the .wma file.

  Is this a problem of DRM?  My home wireless network is too slow to allow .mp3 or .mp4 fully transmit the wireless speaker?

  Thank you!

  Problem dealt with.  It's a problem of bandwidth of wireless network.

• OfficeJet 6500 a: securing wireless printer on home network

  Hello

  I did some research on it and can't seem to find the answer.  Others say that their problem has been resolved, but I don't see how.

  I have an Officejet 6500 connected to the router in my house - I manually entered the IP address.  I suspect that someone in my house (family member) is the impression of the things on my printer because my ink disappears quickly.  It's no big deal, but I thought I'd give the password protect the printer so that they could not connect and print at will.

  I have read other solutions, and people say that remove 'everyone' from the Security tab in windows will work, but that only works if I was connected to the printer via USB and share my connection to a printer through Windows.  Everyone connected to my without wire can install the driver and it will find the HP printer on our network, install and they can print at will.

  Is there a way to put a password on the printer, so access on a home network can be limited to even when I'm not home?  I realize that they could connect manually via USB - I'm just trying to make more of a pain to print when I'm not around.

  I guess I could of pseudo-seggregate my networkt House using a mask of the subnet and the printer on my laptop but my network is a little rusty as I am out of the TI of career and did not want to understand.  I can't find a way to disable the SSID broadcast - which would effectively mask the printing software to find the printer on the network.

  I am disappointed that the designers at HP could not put something so seemingly simple as requiring a password to connect to the printer.

  Any thoughts there?

  Thanks for confirming my suspicions.  If ever I strong enough to play with maybe subnet masks I'll post how it's done, if it works.

  Stupid... everything in this world is cheap and poorly thought.  Can't wait until this printer still works and HP stop cartridges or has no drivers for the next version of Windows coming out that everyone starts to use 3 years after the release, so that they can work out the bugs.

• HP Photosmart 7260 - I get "network busy" message when you try to print from home network

  I've included just a mac pro with Snow Leopard OS on my home network. I tried to add the shared printer, but even with the IP address, I can't print. Work of all my other pc. The host computer uses Windows XP, DELL router with firmware update, the printer is connected through a router. I already downloaded the latest drivers from the Apple site. Without success.

  OKAY, OKAY.  Honestly, I'm not very good with printer sharing, especially across operating systems, but I'll give it a shot.

  First of all, just to be clear, the printer is connected to a XP machine via USB and you're trying to print via a router, right?

  Let's try the simple approach:

  1. enable the account on the XP machine.

  2. on the Mac, go to System Prefs > Print & Fax, click the plus sign "+" to add a printer, and then click the Windows icon at the top.

  3. go to the XP machine, you may have to connect to it.

  4. choose the appropriate driver in the menu dropdown.  If it does not exist, choose a Gutenprint driver.

  Yet once again, I'm not very experienced with that - let me know how it goes.

• Need to connect to the home network wireless - Windows XP Pro - error with network password - needs to be 40bits or 104 bits...

  I have a new laptop at home which has windows xp sp 2 is installed.  I am trying to connect to my wireless network.
  I get the following error;
  The network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration.  This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii or 26 hexadecimal characters.

  I gave my father a new laptop computer this fall and he gave me one that had given him his friend... I've never worked with XP Pro...

  We have several other phones on this account wireless at home.

  You try to login with the wrong encryption method and you have this implemented extremely secure wireless network.

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Hello

  Maybe this can help.
  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. 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

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
  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 .

  When you have finished the configuration of the system, it is recommended to restart everything the router and all computers involved.

  If you have authorization and security problems, check the following settings.

  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.

  When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

• Very slow access to network between Windows 7 64 and XP 32 readers

  Nice day

  Recently, we have replaced a dying man computer of Windows XP with a new Windows 7, i3, 4 GB RAM with full 100Mbit network card, which is operating quite smoothly. This computer has a very necessary shared folder, the folder F1000.dta for Acomba, what is needed by other users. One of these users work with a 32-bit of Windows XP Professional SP3 with 2 GB of RAM and 100Mbit ethernet card. Given that its a 7 / XP share, all sharing on the Windows 7 computer options have been configured (only show network, sharing of citrine, no password, etc...)

  The problem now is that while the shared folder is visible, mapped as a network drive, it takes about 5-7 minutes to open the mapped "drive/folder" and a 1-2 minute goo whenever one of its subfolders is accessed. I tested the cable connecting the computer to the network with 3 laptops (running Windows 7 Starter Edition, Vista Home and Vista Ultimate) and all were able to access the drive a few seconds (for 7 Starter) for a decent 10-15 seconds for Vista machines.

  Acomba, it should be noted, does not work from this mapped folder, but is installed locally on each computer. Only the file data that contains the documents of the company for Acomba, is shared and accessed remotely.

  Is this a normal problem between XP SP3 32 bit and 64 bit of Windows 7 Professional, or am I wrong configured something?

  Thanking you in advance,
  Greg Jean-Louis
