Problem network two computers together

• Networking two computers - one running Windows XP and Windows 7.

  I just got this new laptop yeaterday which has Windows 7.  My other laptop that I am trying to network with some (or share a home group) works on Windows XP.  I have zero chance having these computers recognizing each other or another share.  Any ideas out there?  Thank you!

  Hello

  You use the work (Home) network, homegroup.

  Maybe this can help.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Homegroup = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Network of home or work = fundamentally similar (and better) to the previous Working Group sharing methods which allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  To get best results connect to each computer system screen and set all the computers to be on a bearing the same name of Working Group , while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall, AV, or other security components allow free local traffic on all network computers. If you use the 3rd group of security, firewall native Vista/XP must 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.html#trusted
  Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall/AV/security costumes continue to block aspects of the Local traffic even it they are off (off). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

  If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

  ------------------------------

  If your network consists only of Win 7 and you want a simple network, use it.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/help/videos/sharing-files-with-HomeGroup

  After you have configured the homegroup, scroll to the bottom for the Permission/security section.

  -----------------------------

  Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).

  In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

  Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

  If you have permission and security issues with Vista/Win7, 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.

  This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/permission-security.jpg

  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.

  * Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall 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. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

• Networking two computers

  I have two machines on a network.  You can access the second, but this machine cannot access the first.  When I go to my network places, I find the network indicated Local is not the same as the LAN on the network connections page.  The network connection page is good.  How can I delete the network connection incorrect which is registered by mistake on the My Network Places Page?

  You have (at least) two separate issues.

  For starters, what version of Windows, including the service pack is one of the computers?  What follows is based on the assumption that you have Windows XP on both, but it will make a difference if one or both are XP Home.

  My network places is not a very reliable tool.  It is not uncommon, for example, to see the shared folders appear under the heading 'Internet' instead of the 'Local network' section... Although such forgetfulness is eventually fixed that actually access you the various shared locations.

  It is not clear what you mean when you compare bookmarks network with network connections.  These two special folders show different things.  My network places is supposed to show the resources on a network.  In general, these are files shared folders or printers on your local network, although there is an option to include the real websites as well.

  Network connections, on the other hand, shows the real network cards installed on your computer.  It does not show the resources on a computer that can be connected through these devices.

  So, what do you mean by ' the LAN on the network connections page?  What do you see in my network places that you do not expect to see or what don't you see that you expect to see?

  My Network Places icons are a few shortcuts.  You can delete exactly as you would delete any other shortcut or file (press DEL or right click > delete).  They will be recreated, however, if they are still relevant shared resources.

  Inability to access a network to another computer is usually caused by a firewall misconfigured or failing to have a common (including the password) account on both machines.  In other words, if you connect to A machine as user Madcap, create a user named Madcap on the second machine.  Use the same password for both accounts.

• Networking two computers in b/w

  I want to connect a P.C. of office running on Windows XP and a laptop running Windows Vista directly using an Ethernet cable (without using a router or a switch). So that I can share my internet connection, printer and files.

  You cannot use regular ethernet cable - you need a crossover cable.

  Here are the procedures to do what you want to do: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/homenetworking/a/connecttwocomp.htm.

  Here are the best procedures specifically address linking a XP computer with a Vista computer cable:http://www.conniq.com/Windows-networking/direct-connect-xp-vista-intro.htm.

  I hope this helps.  Keep me informed.  Ask questions as you go along, if necessary.

• "Limited connection" when you configure the network between two computers XP.

  Original title: Configuration of the network connection

  Trying to establish a network connection between two home PCs., both running Windows XP Pro. Have been through the network on both PC Setup Wizard but, they still say limited, in fact no connection. I use an Ethernet cable between the two Crusader. If it is true what I'm doing wrong?

  Thanx Terry

  Old but good, networking tips from MVP Malke, MS:

  The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. This way you get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of security more between you and the Internet. Then you configure your network wireless safely, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Here is information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It seems long, but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and the LAN of sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

  The router configuration

  Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista, maybe the CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set up the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet cable for the connection you have just set up the router to DHCP (or there may even be a choice of cable to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you select TRP usually and enter the username and password you selected when you initially set the DSL connection. So:

  1. turn off the power to your cable modem.

  2. attach a cable (usually supplied with the router) course Ethernet cat5e Internet/WAN port of the router to the Ethernet port on the cable modem.

  3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.

  4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

  To configure the router:

   

  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.

  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). If you have a newish computer, you will be able to affect security WPA2-Personal Mode. Do this and enter a password. 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 you created to join the network and start surfing.

  B. file/printer sharing of

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  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.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, 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. 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. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

  Set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

• Problems of networking of computers...

  I want my network 7 and vista computers. Both are on the same workgroup, they have all two discovery, they share on windows firewall off, they are connected to the same wireless network, but when I go to the network, they do not find the other. They also have on the shared printer and drivers installed (my main goal) with the printer plugged into 7 but I can't find the printer from vista either. Anyone can drive me through steps to implement a network correctly?

  Also, when I click on see the complete map of the network sharing Center, it shows the other computer but I can not click on it.

  You must set up a wireless internet connection in the network as well as the connection sharing normal LAN wireless and connect to it as well as the local connection.  If you don't do this, you will not have an internet connection.  You need both.  You must also enable some features in the main area sharing network to access the internet - they are quite well defined.

• Using Windows 7 my two computers in the House can't find one on my network.

  None of my two computers (stand alone & laptop) can not find each other even if they are connected to the same router. Tried the road home computer group failed also.  The error message on the network is 'cannot find another computer or device' helped, because I need the possibility to print from my laptop. The printer is connected to the stand alone. I did not have this problem when the laptop is running vista.

  This leaves option b):
  (b) the laptop uses a firewall setting which makes it inaccessible. Disabling the Windows Firewall and uninstall all third-party firewall and internet security applications confirm this.

• File sharing works is not between two computers Windows 7 Home Premium on a work network.

  Desktop computer is connected to a hub that is connected to a wireless router.

  Laptop connects via the wireless router.

  Both computers are in the same workgroup.

  Two computers indicate that they are in the same network of 'work '.

  The two computers 'see' each other.

  Both computers have the same advanced sharing settings:

  • Turn on network discovery
  • Open file and printer sharing
  • Turn on public folder sharing
  • Streaming media is off
  • Use 128-bit encryption
  • Turn on password protected sharing
  • Homegroup connection is not used, but is set to 'use user accounts and passwords'.

  As I try to get the laptop to connect to a share on the desktop computer, the user accounts and passwords on the desktop include the user account and the password for the laptop. This is an administrator account.

  There are actions on the desktop computer and these actions include the credentials of the user of the laptop computer with read/write access.

  Or machines is now faced with my right. I know one of them use AVG Free, but I'm not sure what the other computer uses for antivirus.

  I get the error message has to do with the user account that I use is not eligible not by office machine. I'll post the exact message when I am in front of the computers within a few hours.

  Sharing files between the two had worked, but then stopped. When you first install file sharing, that I had run into a different problem on the desktop where all settings indicated should be shared, but clicking on through a screen I got a message that file and print sharing has been disabled and I want to turn it on? (even while fixing in advance sharing settings says he was turned on...)

  Any ideas? I'm pulling out my hair. Thank you!

  Seem firewall windows are playing games with you, try disabling it to see if it will work.

• I have two computers in Windows 7 which will not each other on my network. All other computers will see and can share files, but they connect between them.

  My HP laptop has installed Win7 Ult, the Fujitus Win7 Pro.

  Both computers were sharing the files back, outside a residential group, for a period of time. One day, they are stopped. No changes have been made to computers. I tried a restore of the system on each of them, and it did not help. I re windows loaded on the HP and that did not help. I don't think that it is only a permission of the questions that I used a windows machine 7 third to map actions to each of the individual laptops using their respective IDs. I can transfer files from one of them the "machine in the middle", then the action of the other, or as a copy/paste between them directly.

  WSD and NetBT will not solve one machine for others, but all other computers on the network will dispay on each machine. Only, they refuse to see each other. I have disabled the firewall. Password protected sharing, ensured that all netbios in the registry settings are correct. Pings between them are inaccessible returnded.

• I have problems to connect to my network wireless computers in my house running XP Pro.

  Hello. I have problems to connect to my network wireless computers in my house running XP Pro. I set up my wireless router to use WPA - PSK encryption. When I type in the passphrase on computers running XP in my house, I get an error message indicating that the password must be 5 to 13 ASCII characters or 10 to 26 characters in hexadecimal.

  original title: cannot connect wireless

  Go, I tried and it worked was that you have to be sure what parameters you have set when you set the security of your are wireless (for example the Type of security, Encryption Type etc.) and they have to be compatible with the version of your laptop.
  Older versions usually have 64bitWEP or WEP 128 bit and newer versions have WPA, WPA2-Personal (PSK).

  The 64-bit and 128-bit require 5 or 13 characters. These characters can be obtained when you configure the wireless (it will ask you to put the characters and the characters will be automatically converted to hexadecimal characters, which it must be remembered that they are the password wireless).

  WPA or WPA2 - Personal (PSK) are easier to implement and the passwords are normal characters that you want it to be.

  Then go to your security wireless set up the page and re - configure the password or the type of network and it should help
