Set up home network problems

Hi, I wonder if someone could help?

I have trouble setting up a network as I want. My implementation consists of 2 x laptops and desktops x 2, all with a direct connection to the internet via a wireless router.

I want to use one of desktop computers as network storage device, accessible from any of the three other aircraft. I used the wireless network wizard to create a network that works, but the connection to that means I have to disconnect the direct connection to the internet that is already on each computer. While obviously I can reconnect, I don't want to keep swapping networks whenever I want to dump/extract a file from the NAS

I don't want to use a computer for the internet while having others connect through it, as that would always have this particular feature turned on and seems also unnecessary, since they currently have direct access.

I would have because they are all connected to the same wireless router, file sharing should be simple enough without having to create a separate network, but I am struggling to find all the details on how to do it. I tried to add network places on each computer, but they don't see the other unless it is connected to the new network I created.

I also tried the Hic Ad method, which once worked but required me to disconnect the domestic Internet to connect to the network.

As a side note, when you use the Network Wizard, I was invited to transfer the parameters via key to the wireless router, as I did with all the other devices on the network. I can't do that as there is no USB port on the router (come to think of it, he was not on any wireless router I've owned).

All are running on XP Home or XP Pro. Help, please!

Many thanks in advance,

Rob

  • WiFi in home network problem

  • WRT610N home network problems

    Hello, my network is not working properly at home.  Computers communicate with each other and I can't save on my NAS.  I think that there is a problem with administrators and/or the useres, but I have no idea.  This is the upward.  I'd appreciate any help that anyone can give me.

    (Wireless) LAPTOP running XP SP3.  DESKTOP computer running Windows 2000.  Western Digital MY BOOK (1 TB, call the BIG HD) connected to the WRT610N for NAS.  Western Digital MY BOOK (500 GB, call LITTLE HD) connected directly to the DESKTOP and shared with EVERYONE.  Computers and the router are assigned to the 'HOME' network  All IP addresses are static.  All firewalls have other computers IP Allow or FULL TRUST.  Before adding the WRT610N computers are networked and two external drives we connected to the DEKSTOP and everything worked great using a wrt54g.  The two external HDs were shared and I could read/write in everything on a hard drive of computers.   I could save the laptop via Norton 360 on each disc. Only problem was the speed and I wanted the SIN for the DLNA media service. Since then, I installed the WRT610N and connected to it the BIG HD for the uses mentioned previously.  There are a couple of different issues going on that I can't understand.

    First of all, DESKTOP does not see other computers in the HOME network.  It is always assigned to the HOME network.  Trying to view other computers in the HOME network, that the DESKTOP appears.

    Laptop will show the WRT610N and the OFFICE of the HOME network.  Laptop will be connect/read/write to the BIG HD on the WRT610N. Laptop has no permission to access OFFICE. So I can't go to the SMALL HD on the DESKTOP via laptop.

    This is where it gets really strange.  When you back up PORTABLE HD GRAND via Norton 360, the backup fails after 832 files.  After the backup fails, laptop no longer has permision to access the BIG HD.  Laptop can no longer open WRT610N of icon in the HOME network either.  Does not have permission.  Also, if I try to click the icon for the WRT610N on the HOME network or the icon for the mapped HD BIG in my computer, the wireless signal is de-energized and resets the WRT610.  Laptop gets all rights, and permisions on WRT610N back after restarting the laptop.

    Before attempting the back upward, I made the BIG HD available via FTP and www.dyndns.com.  It worked, I could remotely to the BIG HD from other computers via internet.  Then after that the BACKUP failed, I got an email from dyndns.com saying that my host name has been blocked.  Dyndns.com, three reasons for blocking are ' updates to your client on an interval (e.g. hourly), your client is defective (e.g. flooding), you run several clients. "  I don't know why mine failed, but he did about the same time, I ran back upward.  I know that I don't have muliple customers.  It is the only host name or service or what I use with dyndns.com.  I sent without changing anything on the WRT610N, dyndns.com, asked to be unblocked, and they unlocked my hostname. Have not been blocked since then, but I have not tried a return to the top since I unlocked yesterday.

    It's the last symptom.  In my HD GRAND, all users and "S-1-5-21-789336058-329068152-725345543-5703" are listed as users.  I understand that the long alphanumeric user can be the WRT610N.  I didn't create it and I can't remove it.  I don't know if this user is on the SMALL HD.

    So, how can I get the DESKTOP on the HOME network?  How can I get the LAPTOP and the DESKTOP sharing?  How can I get the LAPTOP to save BIG HD without dropping out and having to restart the laptop (can't get a full backup now)?  This is a problem of 'property' on which device has the HOME network.  I know initially (WRT54G days) I have everything set up by the OFFICE.  It now appears that the property could be made through the WRT610N.  EVERYONE is allowed on each disc shared in the HOME network.  All drives and shared folders have different names.  All the problems occur with all security and firewalls as well off.  I already flashed the firmware and power cycled the WRT610N about 30 times over the 3 months because of the attempts to connect the two HDs at the same time.  The WRT610N seems to be stable except to drop the connection after 832 files during back upward.

    Can someone help me please?

    As you mentioned that all computers are in the same workgroup. Thing you need to check, on your desktop, open the window prompt commands and ping your IP of your laptop and check if you get all the answers, if you are getting answered, on your desktop, click Start - RUN - "\\Laptop IP" and click OK... and it will show you the folder list or the drivers that you have shared on your laptop , Just right-click on it and select 'Map network drive' and below check "Reconnect to the connection" and click Finish. It will be the card your laptop computer drivers shared on your desktop and you should be able to transfer the files from your desktop to the laptop.

    When you ping your laptop from your desktop computer are we can't get an answer, then you can try to disable the firewall and Antivirus on your computer.

    Your router has changed the MTU size to 1300 and click on save settings... That does not solve the problem even if you transfer files from your desktop / laptop computer on the NAS.

  • Vista/XP Home network problems

    I created home network a few weeks ago.  I have a desktop computer THAT XP (old) with a local cable/network connected to a router for my laptop Vista wireless.  While I can get on the Internet and connectivity shows very well, Web pages are slow to load on both machines and I'm unable to download mail from my ISP to my laptop unless I have first download it on the XP desktop.  This problem exists since the network was created.  It is a private network and I tried the two disabiling and allowing the network discovery and sharing in network and sharing Center.  WHY I can't download my mail on my laptop and why are computers so painfully slow now?

    Hi Artistaplm,

    To better understand the issue, I would like to clarify the following things:

    (a) are you referring to the Internet or network connection?

    (b) how to access your mail? Using a mail client or Webmail? This happens at the same time?

  • Home network problem: 0 x 80070035: network path not found.

    I have problems with my home network; my laptop is unable to access the files on my HTPC

    More precisely:

    Laptops and PCs are running Windows 7 Ultimate. My laptop is connected to the home wireless network, the PC is connected through the LAN. Router is a Netgear DG834GV. Both computers have fixed IP addresses. They are part of the standard workgroup workgroup. There was formerly a group residential, put in place, which worked very well. We also have a Vista laptop that does all the unusual problems. Until a few days ago, the whole Setup worked perfectly. I could previously access/copy/distribute multimedia content, play on the PC via Zune music on my laptop and print from my laptop to the computer, but now I am unable to do one of these. The other laptop still works fine.
    From the network on the PC screen, I can see the files from the laptop and access.

    However, since the network on the computer screen laptop, I see the PC, but when I try to open it I get the error "Windows could not access \\MEDIACENTER. 0 x 80070035 the network path was not found. "I ping the PC with the IP address and name, and I can even remote to the computer desktop.

    ipconfig on the laptop did something funny...

    ... up to 200. I can't that assume it goes back to #1 as well.

    After a few suggestions on here I just went through the enable netbios over TCP/IP, but now I can't see even the PC! Still can ping and access internet tho.

    Any suggestions as to what may be the cause?

    Here is the solution for "error code 0 x 80070035 network path not found" on Windows Vista and Windows 7 computers. Click on the button 'START', select 'CONTROL PANEL' and go to 'DEVICE MANAGER'. Click on "NETWORK CARDS", then click on 'VIEW' and select 'SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES'. In the expanded view, you will see a long list of numbered "MICROSOFT 6to4 ADAPTER". My Windows 7 Professional Office had 200 of them. Right click and select 'DELETE' on all but 1 of them. You can only do 1 at a time, so it takes some time. When you have only 1 left, restart the computer and enjoy being able to see the other computers on your network, including the RESIDENTIAL group files.

  • XP home network problem

    The situation-

    I have a Windows XP Home Edition computer.  It relates to my internet from router box.
    He has a record of sharedocs that I access from my laptop when I use this (WiFi connection through router box).
    I had another computer - Windows XP Pro.  Connected to my router via an ethernet cable.
    I could see my folder of sharedocs and he had a "My Network Places" in the start menu.
    The second computer did some XP Pro updates via the internet link and I added a password to the administrator account
    I do not see the sharedocs on my XP Home Edition computer is a "My network places" icon on the start menu.
    What is my problem.
    Thank you
    David E.

    Old but still good advice of the MS MVP Malke networking.  See, for example, points C and d:

    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.

  • Home network problem cannot access one of that PC even if should be able

    I ran into a problem... I have a PC running Windows Vista and Windows 7 PC on my network home. I can 'see' each from the other PC PC when I go on the network. The Windows Vista-based computer can access shared folders on the Windows 7 PC... and the Windows Vista computer can share items specially for windows 7 PC SHOULD have access to these folders. I placed the user for the Windows 7 PC as co-owner. HOWEVER, when I go to the network on the Windows 7 option, I select the Vista PC in the network thinking it should then show me the file and instead, troubleshooting network appears.

    When I go to the troubleshooter, it says that it can't find the Vista machine... even if it it displays network before I tried to access it.

    They are both in the same workgroup. I checked the machine windows 7 has permission for the folder in question indeed. and I've checked that the machine of windows Vista CAN access folders on the windows machine 7...

    No idea what I'm missing?

    Thank you!

    Hi Jim,

    1. did you change any software on the computer?

    2. where you can access files on Windows Vista earlier?

    Method 1:

    Please click on this link to find how to share files and specific folders with someone,

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/share-files-with-someone

    Method 2:

    Disable the antivirus/firewall softwareand check if it helps.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software.

     

    Warning: 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.

     

    Method 3:

    Turn off sharing protected by password:

    Password sharing is enabled by default for computers of working groups. When password sharing is enabled, people using other computers on your network cannot access your shared folders or printers unless they have a user account on your computer. There are two ways to enable file or printer sharing:

    o identical user accounts create on all computers in the workgroup (recommended). For more information, see create a user account.

    o turn off password protected sharing. To turn off password protected sharing, follow these steps:

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

    b. under sharing and discovery, click the arrow next to password protected sharing.

    c. click turn off password protected sharing, and then click apply.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

     

    Please, try the following steps and check.

    I hope it works!

  • C5180 home networking problem

    Printer:  HP Photosmart C5180 all-in-one

    OS:        Windows 7 Ultimate

    History:  Had DSL and installed the printer without problems using the IP printer and WIN7 Installer.

    Passed to FIOS and received a new router wireless and new ips for everything.  A laptop is connected to the printer via the port USB... works very well.  The other laptop I tried to connect to the printer via the network (wireless and inflexible to the router) without success.

    Wrestling:  When I had DSL, the screen of the printer worked fine. UH... then, for some reason, uh, it stop working.  I'm no expert, but there was this time when some paper stuck internally and I disassembled the top and rear it ever-so-carefully. However, during reassembly, the top fell back and pulled out a few ribbon cable... maybe those two things are correlated... in any case, I did retrieve the jammed paper.

    Gaps:  I can't figure out how to discover the new ip of the printer, and ""Add a printer"in Windows 7 will not conclude it on the network (the printer displays networking lights: green and orange flashing at random)"

    Any help is help.

    PS I know where I can get a replacement ribbon cable?

    Okay, either HP and the border do not mix with the ethernet or the HP some how broken when the guys from Frontier moved my netgear ethernet cord to their router/modem...  I give up... bought a new printer.

    Thanks for the 411.

  • Set up home network of multi access point

    Recently, I cut the string so to speak with directv and is passed to a streaming cable through view PlayStation. However this left me with a little slower network I want to. I have a 3-storey house in a crowded area and my cable modem is on the lower floor.

    Currently, I have a linksys ea3500 connected to a modem cable in the basement. I have a family room on floor 2, where I connected PlayStation. On the third floor, I have a Roku in the bedroom for live tv broadcast and also a Home Office.

    I can work around 70mbps down when connected via Ethernet to the ea3500 on the ground floor, but a signal wirelessly on the second floor is about 25mbps down and falls to 15 or so away on the third floor.

    I ordered a new router (wrt 1900ACS) and also a netgear powerline 1200 kit. My plan is to connect the line adaptor to the ea3500 and place another line on two ground adapter. To which I would link the wrt 1900 and run as an access point for the existing network. I would also link the PlayStation to the wrt1900 through cat 5 to improve the reliability of the connection.

    My hope is that this will greatly increase my speed of download available in the House. We are connected fairy and at any time have probably 10 to 15 devices (tablets, phones, laptops, TVs, desktop, nest, etc.)

    Given my current gear (and the warning that I won't have to run wires through the wall or through the vents) is the configuration I describe the best way to increase the signal strength and bandwidth bandwidth/speed? Does it matter if I use the new wrt 1900acs as a slave to the ea3500, since it will be connected via the power line to the ea3500 lan port? Should I just unplug the ea3500 and only use the 1900acs on the Middle floor and connect the power supply line direct adapter to the cable modem?

    Any idea to my plan or recommended changes to my plan would be appreciated!

    It's good then let the EA3500 and add the WRT1900ACS in via PowerLine Bridge Mode.

  • Vista Home networking problem

    Background: I have 3 desktops (XP, Vista, Win 7) and
    a laptop (Vista) connected to a router Cisco Linksys WRT - 110 and from there to a modem DSL of BEAK. Desktop computers are wired connections; the laptop is wireless. XP, Win 7 and the laptop can connect to the network and to the internet very well, but the Vista desktop has suddenly stopped connecting last week.

    Device Manager displays two NICs: Microsoft Tun
    Miniport (shown as disabled with a Code 10), and
    a Realtek RTL 81688 which shows as enabled and working properly.  I uninstalled the driver Miniport of MS and Vista reinstalled the next time you start with the same error code.  I also did a system restore (for more than a month ago when the system was working properly) without help.  Have tried everything obvious like the change of cord of brewing, analyses of viruses and malware, etc. but the problem remains.

    Would appreciate any suggestions.

    Thanks for your reply. A few minutes ago, I found the problem... not with Vista or my router, but with the integrated Realtek LAN controller.  I ran the repair of Gigabyte MB LAN utility and... Presto!   All the above problems have disappeared and I once more the local area network and Internet access.  Do not understand why the LAN Controller could cause all these apparent problems of Vista, but it's there.
