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.

Here are the procedures for Vista with Windows7 network layout that can help:http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Windows-7-Understanding-Network-Administration-Configuration.html.

Here is another article on home networks (with several links to related articles which must all be considered - as well as others, you will find in the related articles) to help you better understand the home networks: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Setting-up-a-home-network.  If it's for Vista, much of it applies to Windows7 (although there may be some differences that should be addressed in the previous article).

Here is an article on how to set up wireless internet in Vista:http://www.clpgh.org/usingthelibrary/technology/wireless/WindowsVista.pdf.

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.

Good luck!

    Both computers have at least one account with the same name and password?

    A very old (but XP has been around for a long time) message by Malke MVP MS:

    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 for the connection automatically (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.

  • 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. It doesn't even seem like it checks the password. The error immediately.

    I tried to connect to the network using my work running Windows 7 laptop and it works fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    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

    Hi Darrell,

    The following article should help you with the desired configuration.

    Networking of computers running different versions of Windows

  • 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.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

    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.

    * 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.

  • Problems with networking

    Hello

    We have a vmware infrastructure still in version 4 on a HP Blade Center works for a few years without problem.

    However, 2 days ago, we noticed the VMS has been very slow. We have reduced the problem of network connectivity, even if we do not find what is the problem.

    On VMS, if we try to ping another server (inside or outside the confines of the blade), it loses a large number of pings. Ping by the ESX host everything well without loss of ping.

    This happens on all esx servers 4.

    On the other servers blades on the same box (blades not with hypervisor installed), we don't see any problems, and they work very well. The affected only blades are the esx servers.

    No changes were made to the environment that could have an impact on the virtualization servers, nor there was any firmware update, patch or sw in this infrastructure.

    Do you have any suggestions on what this could be and how to perform troubleshooting on this issue?

    Thank you and best regards,

    Hi all

    Thank you for your help. We have already identified the problem. It was a problem with the switches on the blade case. Raise them solved the problem.

    Kind regards

  • Problems of networking - cannot access other computers via network

    Help, please!  About six months ago, I had Internet from Time Warner.  They provided a wireless router.  I set up the network with my desktop and laptop.  Both computers have XP and two of them access to the wireless network.  Everything worked well.  I was able to print with the laptop through the desktop computer.  I could also access files shared from one to the other.  One day it just stopped working.  I'm guessing after a windows update.  In any case I spent a LOT of time to sift through here looking for answers.  One thing I discovered is there is a lot of those who are experiencing the same thing, but nobody seems to have an answer to the problem.  I found an article that told me to increase the IRP stack size.  I tried and it worked for a few days and then it is right to give me this message, "you might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission.  I'm about to lose my mind.  I don't understand how he could have worked for two months and then stops.  The only firewall I run on each one is Windows.  Help, please!

    After typing this long email discuss my problem and I did some internet research and found this post that said they have solved the problem.  He said ' I solved the problem by adding the "Protocol of Transport compatible NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS" to my list of properties of network on every computer on my network.»  I tried it and it worked.  Only problem I've noticed so far is that it takes time to move a folder to.  To back up a folder, he thinks for a minute before moving.  Any thoughts?
