• Impossible to activate permanent "network discovery and file sharing" in advanced sharing without turning windows firewall at the wide service.

  Environment:

  I have a workgroup Windows 8 pro PC with all updates from Windows update. The PC is connected via WiFi (home) to a router (the same thing happens if I am connected to the router directly via RJ45). It's my "private network (NAT). I have the Windows Firewall is enabled in its default configuration. I use "Windows Defender" as my protection\firewall of virus software.  "When I go to: change options for sharing different network profiles" under advanced sharing options. I try to turn on file sharing and network discovery in the private profile. It shows that "the private sector is the current profile. The radio button lights. However, when I go to the file Explorer / network I got the message ' network discovery and file sharing are turned off. " The network computers and devices are not visible. Click here to change... " I click to change, however when I click to change it keeps returning and gives me the same message. I then go in ""network control and Internet\Network and sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings " and the option buttons in private profile for the network discovery and file sharing are turned off."

  my network discovery does not illuminate. Whenever I try to turn it on I get an error message that says: (the specified service does not exsist as an installed service)! I need to elp, its frustrating me! I have windows vista.

  Hello

  Did you change your computer?

  Method 1:

  Based on the network location you choose, Windows affects a State of network for network discovery and opens the Windows Firewall ports suitable for this State.

  Step 1: We recommend you to check if the elements of network discovery are enabled in Windows Firewall. To do this, try the following steps.
  1. click on start, type firewall and then click Windows Firewall with advanced security.
  2. click on rules of incoming traffic in the left pane and select the (SSDP-In) network discovery and network discovery (UPnP) - in the list.
  3. click on rules of outgoing traffic in the left pane and enable network discovery (SSDP-out) and the discovery of the network (UPnP-Out) in the list.
  4. apply the changes and check the result.

  For more information about network discovery, see this link:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-network-discovery

  Step 2: Check the status of the following services: browser, TCP/IP NetBios support.
  1. Click Start, type services.msc and press to enter.
  2. from the list of services, double-click the service computer browser and TCP/IP NetBios support.
  3. change the startup type to automatic and start the service.
  4. apply the changes.

  Method 2:

  Now we go ahead and try to enable the discovery of the network on your computer and check for the issue.

  Network discovery is disabled by default for public networks. Changing a network location type to home or work is the best way to turn on network discovery. To learn how to change a network location type, see Choosing a network location. To enable discovery manually, follow the steps below.

  To turn on network discovery

  1. open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, and then click Network and sharing Center.

  2. If network discovery is off, click the arrow button expand the section, click turn on network discovery, and then click on apply. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  I also suggest you turn on discovery of the network link and check.

  Enable or disable network discovery

• Cannot turn on network discovery. I get the message "specified service does not exist as an installed service.

  Suddenly, something has changed in my computer and now I can't turn on network discovery. Every time I try, I get message "the specified service does not exist as an installed service. I get the same message for others e.g. file sharing and printer sharing. Changes the most recent have been updated to McAfee a few days ago. But the network worked well until last night.

• Vista firewall and network settings

  Greetings,

  Running Vista Ultimate OS and for the McAfee Security Center security system, providing the Dell system.  Security Center is a brand product (McAfee) Dell.  It includes a firewall.  It is generally not recommended to run two firewalls at the same time on the same system.  In this case, my preference is to disable the Windows Vista firewall and manage only the McAfee Security Center Firewall.

  However, by doing so, effects of undesirable changes in the Windows Vista network configuration.  Specifically, disable the Vista Firewall automatically turns on the discovery network and file sharing in the network settings of Vista, which is not desired.

  The question:

  What is the solution to run Windows Vista with the firewall (Vista) integrated offshore, the McAfee Security Center Firewall and discovery network and settings (network) off the coast of file sharing?

  By the way, my troubleshooting on this has included disable McAfee Firewall to determine if she could be causing a conflict with the firewall and Windows network settings.  Apparently not, because even with McAfee firewall off it is still not possible to disable the Windows Firewall (in this case, No firewall is running) without network discovery and sharing settings being switched automatically on files.

  Again, the goal is to run the McAfee Firewall with the network discovery and parameters (network) off the coast of file sharing and Windows Vista firewall off the coast.

  Thank you-

  Network discovery is enabled or disabled in vista network and sharing Center by activating or deactivating vista firewall rules. You can maybe re-create these rules in the McAfee Firewall, although they will be not be enabled / disabled from the network sharing Center. The following site will show how to display vista firewall rules:
  http://NPR.Freei.me
  Are you sure there is no setting in McAfee to block the sharing of files and network discovery?

  Note: the rules for sharing printers and files, and network discovery are clearly identified in the vista firewall.

• Network discovery does not 'on' when selected and recorded, all the answers?

  I have some very annoying problems with my new network set up.

  My network consists of a Belkin router type "n" (model F5D8236-4v2), the main PC with windows 7 32-bit OS, a wireless laptop XP, a machine of the PS3 and TV (model KDL 32EX403 =) Sony Bravia - hard wired to the router.

  I want movies stream from my PC to the TV. laptop and PS3.

  My PC (the principal server) see the laptop, TV, but not the PS3. He can see the files on the laptop and the laptop you will see the PC it cannot access any files or folders on the PC.

  The TV can not see the PC, laptop or PS3.so no films can be heard of these components on television.

  I tried everything that Microsoft and several forums have to offer, but to no avail.

  One thing I noticed when trying to find a configuration to mitigate the problem, it's that when you go to "Advanced sharing settings" and try to change the setting of 'Network discovery' on IT, and then save this setting, it is up to the STOP after trying to save.

  Please can someone help I'm quickly running out of hair to pull.

  Thank you

• The Switch configuration and Wi - fi router in the same network

  Hi team,

  I have here is the configuration currently as below in the image. To describe the same internet cable is connected to a Cisco switch, which is connected to the PC in LAN (wired). A switch output is connected to the entrance of the wireless router Netgear Nighthawk AC 1900 Smart model of WiFi router # R6900. Wireless devices (laptop) are connected by the router.

  Each device has internet access. However, I am unable to run software LAN or unable to share any file of devices connected to the switch to the connected wireless devices. I can't ping any device the device wireless wired.

  Can anyone suggest what are the settings that I should do or what are the steps I should follow that will make wireless and wired devices in the same network.

  PS Plus early I tried the internet connection to the wireless router and then out of the router to pass, which has solved this problem. But slowing down my internet speed in wired devices. So, is it possible to have all devices in the network even with the current configuration?

  

  Thanks in advance.

  Best,

• WIndows 7 and Server 2008 machines won't remember preferences of network discovery, needs to set every time you start up or wake up.

  Hello

  I was wondering if anyone here could be kind enough to help me solve this situation

  I have two machines Windows 7 and Server 2008 machines remember preferences of network discovery.

  I use the software on the windows server that collects data and information to two windows 7 machines and discover the network is necessary for this purpose

  These machines are set up in an autonomous local network set up as a working group the only other points on the network are none based on PC hardware that fortunately, the server communicates with and reads the data of

  Once network discovery is defined for the network, the system works as expected, but on each startup (or wake up) network discovery is lost and need to be authorized. This is the case at the time windows server 20008 r2 and windows 7

  How can I make these permanent preferences. for that it restarts and re establish communication its self without intervention

  am I missing a setting or if not is there a way I can script the selection preference on each start (/wake) upwards.

  the end user must be able to turn on the system / restart and use it with needing to have any IT / networking of knowledge to the outside to get the system running.

  Thank you for taking the time to read my request

• Configuring the private network or disable questions for the network discovery in network and sharing Center.

  I just got my laptop all cleaned and had everything updated. When I got it back I was mainly concerned how my network and discovery sharing would work, because we never had a home computer and a laptop computer at a time. Our PC at home has always defined for a private network. Today, they are both defined for the private sector, the laptop will probably always be at home too, but I was curious to see how the printer share everything would work on my laptop. It would not print and I checked just the settings that the guy I of any program for me usually had the top settings. On my laptop that I was first checking out and the network discovery has been to custom on both, one on my PC was on, laptop has never been verified we or off, file sharing has been enabled on both. public folder sharing off on both, printer sharing turned off the PC at home, but on laptop, so much time, I guess me to turn on the PC I don't know yet. Printer password sharing is on the PC and laptop. I try essentially whether it is what you would call a custom setting make for a firewall setting, or could someone please just kinda tell me if the sharing of network discovery should be turned on on the laptop and the PC, or was it not suppose to be turned on to the laptop, but on the PC only? Which should be lit and which should not be enabled in the configuration of the private network? I just want to be able to print my laptop if I want to. Thank you

  Hello

  What version of Windows are you using?

• Network discovery, file sharing settings keep changing by itself and Alltel to set the network location continues to ask the wireless device

  former title: network location settings. Discovery of NW. File sharing. public folder sharing. AVG 9.0 'tools' and network connections.

  My Alltel Wireless device again set the network location. And continues to change my network settings for the discovery of NW to:, as well as file sharing for: file public and sharing: read-only.  I have AVG Security 9.0 and under 'tools' and connections network shows several svchost with States reading service connections listening and unknown. I don't want no access to my computer and cannot find any computer consultants who can get this to stop. What can I do?

  Hello
   
  1. the options apply automatically on?
  2. have you made changes on the computer recently?
  3. have you installed any Alltel Wireless application to manage network connections?
  4. What is the current network location type on? Is it home, work or public?
  Network discovery and file sharing settings depend on the network location. For examle, if you set the network as a public location it turn on file sharing.  So I would ask you to turn all the parameters and then choose the type of network and check if the parameters change again.
  
  Method 1.
  I recommend you to check if the problem exists in clean boot. May be a third party application is causing these changes.
  See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.

  Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.
   
  Method 2.
  Also check the settings under tools in AVG security suite. You may need to check with the help of AVG on it.
  Or you can disable the antivirus software and check if that causes this behavior.
  Temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and check if the problem persists.
  Disable the anti-virus software
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• Network Magic and Cisco router EA4500 UID and password

  I use the 5.5.9150.0 version of the free product. I had my last router, with a WRT400N. Since then, I have installed an EA4500 router to replace the WRT400N. I'm glad that Network Magic works with my new router, but I have a problem: I can't connect to my router via Netowrk Magic.

  Protection status/Wireless / Wireless Protection settings brings up a window that asks you the router user name and the password. I went to the page "Setting Up: Basics" guide of the user EA4500 (page 13) and tried all the values that I had copied in when I installed the router.

  I tried the SSID of the router and the "Linksys Smart Wi - Fi Username ' in the user ID box.

  I tried the "Linksys Smart WIFI password", the network, the Guest network password password and the router password (same as the network password).

  Nothing has worked. I've only connected to the EA4500 using the Linksys Smart WiFi, username and password, so I'm stuck trying to figure what values to use.

  Please help me understand what I am doing wrong. Thank you!

  I stumbled in the response:

  1. start Network Magic and display the network map.

  2. click on the name of the router (just under the router icon).

  3. click on Set Up or manage the device.

  4. the Linksys WiFi Smart Sign In (to the router) window appears.

  5 connect to the router by using the credentials of Smart Wi - Fi that you set up when you have installed the router.

  Now, all router commands will work from within Network Magic.
