• 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.

• I have two windows xp computers, you try to transfer files with wiz trasfer via cable to serial port 9-pin computer of nothingness cannot find a cnnection to each other?

  Transfer Wiz a autodetec but did not find the connection, have a new p pin serial cable, is there a way to check the connection

  Hi albert-43,

  The RS232 serial cable is different from cross-over cable. A serial cable is to hang the two components that are not the same, a computer to a router, etc. A crossover cable connects two similar items such as computers, etc. from router to router.

  You can also contact a local online techshop/search if you want to buy a crossover cable.

• Between two Windows 7 computers to sync Outlook 2010?

  Specifically, my aim is to synchronize "Outlook 2010" calendar, Contacts (including 5 subdirectories), tasks, and notes between 2 computers on Windows?

  I have a desktop computer and a laptop. Both Windows 7 and Outlook 2010.  Both are on my home group.  I currently use the Briefcase to synchronize specific Document files between the two computers.

  (I'm currently syncing my Palm Treo 850 to my desktop, then to my lapstop via Mobile Device Center but the Outlook Contact (5) subfolders used to synchronize without new version Pocket PC 2010 - not yet published.) Only the main folder synchronization / by default.  Therefore, I must find a new solution until the Pocket PC 2010 is available for a full synchronization.  Unfortunately, new mode sync from computer to computer could exclude them have Outlook Contact subfolders on my phone well.)

  Help?

  Gwen

  The key element to keep Outlook in sync on both machines is the. PST file. It contains everything. If you want your home Outlook even as your work in Outlook, make a copy of the. PST file to work (make sure that Outlook is closed when you do this), take the said copy home with you, set a folder where it will not overwrite your existing. PST file, then open it with Outlook using ' file | Open | Outlook data file "."  You now have two options:

  1. drag and drop what you want to work. PST at home. PST to their doing the same thing or,
  2. this new set. PST default file and just continue to use it.

  There are a number of third-party tools that will do the synchronization, as see you in the link that I sent, but most cost money.

  On the cell phone, you have reached the limit there is no way to sync subfolders of Contacts; It is a limitation of Windows Mobile and has no good workaround solution.

• Internet connection sharing: "Bluetooth network connection" does not appear in the list "Home Networking connection."

  Hello.

  With Windows 7, I want to share the network connection Wi - Fi with Bluetooth through PAN (Personal Area Network).

  When there are several connections in addition to Bluetooth after opening "Share" tab, I see these connections in the "Home Networking connection" list, but there is no Bluetooth. Then, when there is no connection in addition to Bluetooth which I can share with, there is no tab "share."

  Equipment: laptop Samsung NB30:

  • Broadcom BCM2070 Bluetooth 3.0 + HS USB Device with the driver PAN ('Bluetooth device (Personal Area Network)") provided by Samsung: Microsoft, version 6.1.7600.16385, 21.06.2006

  As I assume there should be means to somehow add "Bluetooth Network Connection" to a list of connections that can be internet shared with.

  Also, when I tried to fix this problem manually, other questions are raised:

  • There is really no Thoubleshooting guide for Internet connection sharing in Windows 7? I see this document on the site "Microsoft Support" for Windows 98SE, Windows XP - but not Vista and 7.
  • When I'm stuck to the administration of the system to the GUI, there is good decision to guarantee a target with the CLI. After searching a command line installation Internet connection sharing, I see no guides for this - only something likehttp://forums.devshed.com/windows-help-34/enabling-ics-under-command-line-89499.html . Is there really no way to set up ICS by command line and I'm forced to use complex GUIs?

  So, please help me solve problem BT PAN ICS. But if you reply to other questions, it will also be interesting to read.

• Problem with Vista and XP computers Internet connection sharing.

  I have a host computer running Windows XP service pack 3, with an of Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go modem and a laptop computer with Vista. The host computer is connected to a Microsoft MN - 700 via a CAT5 network cable. The laptop is connected via a wireless connection. I'm sharing the Broadband2Go internet connection by using Internet connection sharing. I enabled sharing on the network, on the host computer connection. But the laptop does not connect to the internet. I can ping the host of the laptop, but cannot ping the laptop computer from the host. I have tried everything I can think of, to get the job of network. He worked, until Thursday. Thursday, there is some automatic updates installed on the host computer. They have been updated for security. I don't know if updates of security would have affected the network or not. All helkp would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Oscar

  It is a facility that is complicated, because the host computer and the MN-700 can act as routers and DHCP servers, making it uncertain given the laptop its TCP/IP configuration.  Here are two ways to make it work:

  • Use the MN-700 as a router: connect the host computer to the "Modem" port of the MN-700.  To do this, interface LAN of the MN - 700 must have an IP address in a different subnet from the 192.168.0.x subnet that uses ICS.  The laptop will be able to ping on the host, but the host will not be able to ping from the laptop.

  or:

  • Use the MN-700 as a point of access only, not as a router: connect to the host computer to one of the MN-700 Ethernet ports and disable the DHCP server integrated of the MN-700.  Both computers should be able to ping each other.

• Problem to create the Internet connection sharing between Windows XP and Windows Vista.

  Original title: Internet connection sharing between Windows XP and Windows Vista.

  Hello

  Recently, I plugged a laptop running Windows XP to a desktop computer running Windows Vista using a standard Ethernet cable with the intention of use sharing of Internet connection. The notebook contains a wireless connection that I've routed to the office via the cable said.  While the initial phase of installation went well (I was too lazy to do it manually, so I just used the Wizard "Set up a home or small business network" Windows XP,) I had to turn off the host computer to install a program. When I tried to set up ICS again, I couldn't connect to the Internet by using ICS. After this failure, I tried to configure the properties of TC/IPv4 (IP, gateway by default, etc.) manually, but I still couldn't run.  I am able to access the shared host PC and client files. It seems to me that some service essential to the proper functioning of the ICS may be disabled in some way, but it's just speculation, as I have no evidence of such a service. Help would be most appreciated.

  Thank you

  FG-man

  I tried this before using a laptop to share internet with my 360.  problem is there was Nat on the router, and it is in contradiction with the ics.

  Anyway long story short I did some research on the Internet and discovered that if you're behind a router ICS will be confllict with her, as ICS also does routing. a much better option is to "bridge the conections ' on the laptop.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/hnw_bridge_install.mspx?mfr=true

  If you go this route, you need to set a static ip address for the office,

  Either that or if you want to continue using ICS put the laptop in the DMZ in the router may help, but it will be less secure.

  Hope that this helped good luck

  On my Eee PC under XP Home edition tablet, I get the error "Windows cannot start the windows firewall/internet connection sharing (ICS) service" when I try to access my firewall.
