• Need help setting up a network home wireless to the working group. I tried everything I read and nothing has worked. I got lost.

  I just received a more recent laptop and wants to set up a network so I can transfer files back.  It seems that it would be a fairly simple network to set up, but obviously I'm missing something.

  It must be a wireless network.  I have a wireless router, two Toshiba laptops, running a Windows 7 and the other runs Windows 10, and I have a printer.  I can access internet with laptops or both if the router does not seem to be the issue.

  I read articles that said I had need of a homegroup, but that did not work.  Then I read an article saying since my computers running different operating systems, that I couldn't use a homegroup that I should use a workgroup.  I followed the instructions given in the article and which don't seem to work either.

  The names of working group on both computers are the same and so are the passwords.  The computer names are different.

  I was on the old computer and when I go into Windows Explorer, under network, I can see the two names listed, however, when I click on the other computer, I get a message saying that the computer is not on the network.  I got the internet service at the time so the router was working.  Another time I tried to copy a small file to the other computer and the message said I didn't have permissions to do so.  I got the same message when I tried to add a folder to the other computer in the network area in Windows Explorer.  I get the same types of messages when I try things peers, while on the new computer.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  So far, since I got the new laptop, I spent nearly three weeks, trying to get things to work.  This seems to be the biggest challenge of all.

• Trying to set up a network with windows 7 Home premium

  I'm trying to set up a network on windows 7 Home premium, but could not find this secpol.msc. I read the posts on the guy with vista home premium and similar problems. I tried the advice given to him:

  Open regedit and locate the key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contrl\Lsa\LmCompatibilityLevel

  Set this value to 1 (is default on 3) "send LM and NTLM".
  See the Q823659 knowledge base 
  

  I got in the case of the LSA and found no LmCompatibiltyLevel, he was not in the file or it contained a folder with that name.

  I also read a post from someone about windows 7 as follows:

  On Windows 7 Home Premium, secpol.msc or this registry key is set.

  However if you add a new key named LmCompatibilityLevel DWORD value at the specified location and the value of '1' it seems to work to allow
  "Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated".

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LmCompatibilityLevel

  But my problem I do not know what he meant by 'DWORD '.

  If someone could help with this problem, it would be great.

• Need help to set up a network between two Windows 7 computers

  I have two Windows 7 computers at home: one is a desktop computer that is connected directly to the internet (with a network cable), and the other is a laptop computer that is not directly connected to the internet with a network cable.  We have a configuration of wireless network for your laptop is set up of this network and has internet access.

  What I want to do is set up a network between the two of them, so that the laptop can access the printer that is directly connected to the desktop computer.  I got this configuration when both computers are Windows XP, but since we their past to Windows 7 I can not it works.  I tried to create a home network, I set the printer on sharable and given him a name, but I can't access it on the laptop.

  The printer is actually a photocopier, but it is directly connected to the desktop computer.  In fact, it is connected to the router than the phone company provided.  But we want the laptop to be able to access it and use it.  As I said, we had this configuration when these computers are computers Windows XP, but I tried following the instructions to do this for Windows 7 and I can't make it work.

  Also, I'm not that computer savy, so please if you tell me to run a program it please tell me how to find and launch this program.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

  Before you start with the troubleshooting steps, I would need some information on the subject, so that we can better help you.

  1. What happens exactly when you try to access the shared printer on the network home?
  2. You receive an error message/code?
  3. Have you tried sharing the computer and using collective housing resources?

  As you mentioned, you can share printer for two other computer running on Windows 7, you can check the items below that will provide you with information on how to work with the host group, and also another article that will you provide steps on how to share a printer on the network.

• Disconnecting from the network home

  Win 7 I have a stand-alone computer (not other computers) with a USB - connected printer and a connection to a modem (without router) via a network (?) (not USB) cable.  I have no other computers or printers.  Win 7 connected me to a network home, maybe because my printer is compatible with wireless (but I have no WiFi - or interest in functionality).  If I disconnect the home network I lose the internet connections or printer?

  My apologies but I found your statement at the opening a bit confusing.

  Your home network is connected to the modem, a local area network, and is a type of HOME that helps your computer share with a reliable source, connected to your modem/router.

  A HOME network is essentially the default setting...

  A PUBLIC network limited with any computer that can be attached to your router/modem to share files.

  If your printer is connected via a USB cable, disconnect from the network will NOT affect the communications between your computer and the printer and the printer will do what you expect it to do.

  However, you will lose Internet you disable the network connection.

• Don't go DVD player on desktop Pc windows 7 network home for computer laptop windows 8

  Desktop PC to Windows 7 with DVD player, I want to share on my network home wifi with my new windows laptop 8 who doesn't have a DVD player. I went to control panel to set the sharing but sharing was gray.

  Hi Susan,.

  The sharing option is grayed out, it is because it is not possible to share a DVD player on your system through a wireless network.

  You can buy an external DVD drive that connects via a USB port to use on the laptop Windows 8.

• Can I set up a network with a WinMe computer?

  Hello. It is possible to set up a network between a WinME computer using Win Vista or Win7?

  There are two laptops that have the latest OS (Home Premium versions).

  WinME computer has just a modem 56 k inside. Laptops have phone ports (I forgot the name).

  Does anyone do this? Y at - it any installation or troubleshooting, I might have to do? do I need a cable/ethernet instead of phone ports ports?

  I don't want to scan the HARD drive on WinME computer for malicious software and be able to download a programme of protection for her with updates. I saw a few on cnet.com.

  If there is any advice that I might have, I appriciate it.

  WinMe has a Council of Gigabyte GA - 7ZM Rev 2.2. Mobo IDE. PCI expansion slots.

  The short answer is - maybe.

  I added a network adapter on a WinMe PC a few years ago so I could connect to a WinXP PC.  While it was a success, if I consider this now I sit and the purpose for which I use the network and then evaluate the alternative way to do the job from the list.  If you simply want to add in its storage capacity [as a backup location, just for example] then buy a USB would be cheaper, faster, less complex, more reliable, more flexible & infinitely safer.  I can't imagine what task I would now use the WinMe for that would justify the aggravation & costs of putting in place a network.  My old WinMe PC is now collecting dust, but if it has a residual interest as a storage device [though relatively very slow], I bought a hard drive for its internal drive enclosure.

  A couple of updates first:

  1 the WinMe machine will be a gaping hole in your security.  Because it is not updated for the modern vulnerabilities, you will need to consider as a risk and have never connected it while all other machines are connected to a network such as the internet.  This will remain true regardless of the modern antivirus / anti-malware applications you put on it.  You need to physically remove the head whenever you connect modern laptops.

  2 you will need to spend money & time to know if it works or not - there is no certainty of success.

  Well, this is what you need to do: -.

  1 check the "phone ports" on modern laptops.  They are actually a little bigger than the phone taken?  I think they are rather taken LAN cable.  If not then you need to buy a network card that fits into any card slots have spare.  If you are not sure, then get a LAN cable & see if it fits correctly or not.

  2. check the WinMe PC.  Is there a spare PC card slot?  It would be a slot that is 2.1 inches [5.4 cm] wide.  You will need to buy a network card for this PC and this was the only type of housing that I could get a network card for.

  3 I bought a Belkin CardBus network card F5D5010.  You will need to check that its modern equivalent has drivers for WinMe as this is not guaranteed.  I found that the Belkin instructions are very good and that the parameters of the proposed system worked correctly.

  4 unless you don't want to connect the WinMe for a computer laptop modern at once, you need to buy & set up a router.  You should also check that it can work with a WinMe PC.  The router must be able to manage all the settings of the system you need, but you certainly need to compare his instructions with the WinMe instructions provided by the network card that you may have to combine the two to get a positive result.

  5. If you want to only connect the WinMe to laptop modern both & you really are determined to move forward, then carry out a procedure step by step for the creation of a network of Ethernet cable of two computers between Windows 7 and Windows XP with ICS but change the proceedings with what you learn directions of the network card.  When I wrote this procedure to connect a Win7 for a Windows XP, I crushed my old notes for WinXP WinMe network and all I remember off the top of my head it's WinMe settings were practically the same, but I had to look in different places for them.

  Finally, once more, the short answer is - maybe.

• How do connect me to a Win7 computer on my network home

  I have 2 Win7 computers on my home network. I can see them Surface Pro, but I can't connect to them (and vice versa). File sharing is enabled on all machines. They all have the same WORKING group. I read somewhere that I need NetBIOS, but it is not available for installation on the Surface Pro.

  Any ideas?
