The printer is connected to the desktop computer and file/printer sharing enabled. I can't connect to a home network.

  I tried to run the tutorial "set up a home network" and solve problems, but since they are different versions that the buttons are not in the same place and are marked differently.

  Hello

  This"the desktop computer is connected to the internet and a wireless modem" , is not clear.

  To have a coherent network, the Modem is connected to the network, the router must be connected next Modem WAN, and the wire from the computer or the wireless must be connected to the router.

  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.

• I have 3 PC home networking with a router. How to connect my new hp 6500 has more so any pc can print

  I have 3 PCs at home with one with XP 32 bit and cable to connect to a router Internet, the secoond PC with windows 7 64 bit and wireless to the same router and the third PC with XP 64-bit with the same wireless router. Currently, two have their own wired to their own printers. I want to replace the two existing printers with my newly purchased HP Officejet 6500 has more which will be located next to the XP 32 bit PC which has currently a cable connected to the router. How can I connect the new HP Officejet 6500 has more to my network to allow any of the three computers to print to the officejet and install the HP software on all 3 PC and if so what progs? I'm sorry if it's a very basic question, but I'm not a computer scientist and the help delivered with the printer documentation does not appear to this lay person to give this information on how to set up a home network with this printer. Thanks in advance for any advice.

  Hello

  You can choose one of the following 2 options:

  

  Option 1: simila in the image above

  Connect the printer to the router,

  Connect a PC to the router (not wireless computer)

  Option 2:

  Connect a PC to the router (not wireless computer)

  Connect the printer to the wireless router

  Option 1 makes the computer without a connection to the printer. For the other two computer is the same on the two configuration options.

  Please use the following book to configure things

• Networking in windows vista and windows 7

  I have network problems the two operating systems.  I am able to see the systems of the other and visa versa, and all the share permissions have been turned on. I can't access the contents of the other system, nor can I access the printer on my desk.

  What I'm missing or doing wrong?

  Fredrich Becker-(COMPTIA Security + 2008)

  I don't know what is wrong because I don't know what you were doing.

  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 the networking of the different versions of Windows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Networking-home-computers-running-different-versions-of-Windows.

  I hope this helps. If necessary, start from scratch using these procedures and see if that helps.

• -Is this a "no Proxy" security affect setting on my home network?

  I have established that the the unique proxy setting that makes my computer works best is the "no proxy setting. I read, however, that this setting could leave my computer open to hacking and other intrusions. I'm on a home network with no other users. My ISP is Comcast. I have not run any software protection protection other than what offers Windows and everything that gives a router. Is it safe set the proxy server offers 'no proxy '. Even if I have Internet high flow, I can't access most of the sites up to 30 seconds, and sometimes I just get wait times. When I changed the setting to 'no proxy', I was able to connect to the lightening quick sites. I always thought it was Comcast, but it seems that it is this particular parameter which is the culprit. However, if the "no proxy setting' endangers my safety, I'll change it to another setting.

  No, it isn't a threat to the security of your computer.

• several devices on the network with the same name

  I want to install Windows 7 OS computers on a domain with Small Business SERVER 2003.  Curiously, I see all the computers on the network, where I should be able to, but one of them WK02011, is not accessible from all Windows 7 systems because there are multiple devices with the same name on the network according to a diagnosticn check.  WK02011 is visible and accessible from other systems on the network that are runjning XP OS.  There is only one device named WK02011 on the network.  I don't have this problem with any other XP system - that is - I can see and access all of the other XP machines on the network with the exception of WK02011.  I can't access WK2011 from the server and the server indicates that it is multiple devices with the same ID.  Rename the XP would be complicated because of having to re - set up the service to the customer and then turn around and install 7 OS in the workstation in the coming days.

• my windows says that another computer is running in the same network with the same ip address, please contact

  Today morning when I opened my samsung mini, it displays a message that another computer is running on the same network with the same ip address please find a solution for this

  In most home networks where multiple devices are connected to a router, router will assign an IP address to each device (via DHCP). This method keeps usually different devices to get the same IP address, but if you restart your router, it will not address remembered that he released before it was restarted.  This condition can also occur if you manually assigned an IP address to a device located in the router's DHCP range.  If the problem is not due to manually assign an IP address, then this condition will be corrected over time.  But if you're in a hurry, you can unplug your router from the wall and stop all computing devices on it.  Then plug the router back in and bring up all your devices again one by one.

• I'm trying to access a wireless network with the password provided for me. I get the following error message

  I'm trying to access a wireless network with the password provided for me. I get the following error message: "the network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration. This can be entered as 5 or 13 characters ascii or hexadecimal 10 or 26. "what does this error message mean and how do I address so that I can access the wireless network?

  I use XP Professional with service pack 3. I get this error message every other time I try to log in to a protected wireless network security. I used to not get this message; but, now, it may be impossible, sometimes to call all wireless providers when I might only need for a short period or after hours service opening.

  In addition, it is my computer that requires the network password to be different, not the provider of wireless. A password is given to me who works for other users, but my computer won't let me use it.
