Sharing files with an Ethernet Switch?

Similar Questions

• The WAN Port is communicating with the Ethernet switch?

  I have a Comcast gateway that the router is disabled in so it acts only as a modem. This is related to an Airport Extreme, which serves as my router via the WAN on the AE port. I created a different WAP with a Capsule temporal from the airport, located downstairs with an Ethernet cable from one of the Ethernet ports on the AE to the WAN on the TC port. I think it's what we call a 'roaming network.

  My question is, can I connect my switch Gigabit 8 ports in one of the Ethernet ports on the TC to complete connections wired to all devices connected on it, or should I first connect EI to the switch 8 ports and then connect the switch to the port WAN TC to complete my network "roaming"? In other words, plug it into the port WAN AE or TC still allows you to use other Ethernet ports as a switch?

  Thank you!

  can I plug my Gigabit 8 ports switch in one of the ports Ethernet on the TC to complete wired connections to all devices connected on it

  Yes, assuming that the TC has been configured to run in Bridge Mode, which would be normal.

  or should I first connect EI to the switch 8 ports and then connect the switch to the TC WAN port to complete my network "roaming"?

  It would be considered preferable to wiring, if it is convenient to do so.  For example, in the configuration of the wiring in the previous example just above... If there is a problem with the time Capsule, then all devices connected to the switch to the time Capsule would have a problem as well.

  If the switch is connected to the AirPort Extreme, and the TC is then connected to the switch... If the TC has a problem, the other devices connected to the switch of will not be affected.

• 'PC' is not set up to establish a connection on port "file and printer sharing (SMB)" with this computer - I get this after enabling access to public folders and then trying to access (another pc on the network cannot connect to this pc but see).

  • Tried to reconfigure the firewall
  • Tried to change files and printers, sharing options
  • Restarted other computers trying to connect to my public folder
  • Tried to adjust the network discovery
  • Do all computers on the network among the same workgroup
  • I can access public folders from the other computer and their content
  • Other computers on my network, in my workgroup can see my public folders, and users, but cannot access it.
  • Other computers can see my computer, but can not access: error code: 0 x 80070035.

  Can't access: 'Public' and 'Users' in the title:

  -Network
  MyName-PC

  Please don't give me that: "If you try to connect to another computer, make sure that this computer is on, that you have enabled file and printer sharing on both computers, and file and printer sharing can communicate through your firewall." Because I seek NOT to connect to another computer... I want to just access MY Public folder and the users folder and eventually allow others to access also.

  Hi Katmandu774,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  The Public folder is a convenient way to share files that are stored on your computer. You can share files in this folder with other people using the same computer and with people using other computers on the same network. Any file or folder you put in the folder Public is automatically shared with the people who have access to your Public folder.

  If you are not on a domain, you can limit network access to the Public folder so that people with a user account and password for this computer. To do this, turn on sharing protected by password.

  1. Open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
  2. Click the arrow next to password protected sharing, and then click one of the following options:

  ·         Turn on password protected sharing

  ·         Turn off password protected sharing

  1. Click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  To control the level of access to the Public folder

   

  1. Open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
  2. Click the arrow next to public folder sharing, and then click one of the following options:

  ·         Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open files

  ·         Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open, change and create files

  ·         Turn off sharing (people logged on to this computer can still access this folder)

  1. Click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Also, make sure you add everyone to the public folder and give the necessary permissions to access it.

• POE Ethernet switch

  Hello

  I'm new to ethernet.  I will link two 9188XT chassis 300 feet from the other.  One will be a master and a slave.  The main chassis will be locked in a box with an ethernet switch connecting the master, slave and the computer.   The computer using labview will be 300 feet away from the main frame.  My question is the ethernet switch must be poe (power compatible ethernet) or can I use an ethernet router that doesn't use poe.  Thanks in advance for your answers

  The cDAQ-9188XT is not (it must be powered by a separate power supply) PoE compatible. You can use it with an ethernet switch that does not support the PoE.

• Streaming from other libraries vs play shared files

  I was able to share a folder, that part adds the video library to another local computer, and then ask WMP read a file in this folder (imported into the local library).

  I read help on the "other libraries" function that is related to the streaming of files on home network (and the internet, but this is not my case), having played the other PC (or a digital camera).

  Since I have problem in using this feature, I am writing to ask preliminarly the following:

  Does streaming by using "other libraries" is another way to do the same thing, I did (as described above), or let use more effective protocols than to simply read a shared file using the ethernet Protocol?

  Thank you in advance, regarding

  Ricardo

  There are more effective ways, one is by setting up a 'homegroup' so that all of your computers to share together.  To start, type "homegroup" in the search box of the start menu and you'll find it.

• sharing files between windows8 windows7and homegroup

  How can I do?

  Hi Kenneth,

  Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

  A homegroup is a group of computers on a home network that shares devices (such as printers) and libraries (such as your Documents, photos, music and video libraries). With the help of a group residential allows for easier sharing. Your homegroup is protected by a password, you can change at any time.

  When you configure a PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows RT, a homegroup is created automatically. If a homegroup already exists on your home network, you can join him.

  After you have created or joined a homegroup, you select the libraries and devices that you want to share. You can prevent files or shared folders, and you can share additional libraries later. You can choose who can and cannot change your shared files.

  I suggest you to refer to these items and check if that helps.

• What is a substitute for the migration assistant? I tried in vain for three hours to migrate files from a macbook pro to each other so that even if connected with the ethernet cable the computers never see each other.

  What is a substitute for the migration assistant? I tried in vain for three hours to migrate files from a macbook pro to each other so that even if connected with the ethernet cable the computers never see each other.

  You can connect otherwise?  USB or FireWire or love at first sight?  You can connect both machines and start the one you want to transfer to target disk mode.  If your other machine is up and running with an account on it and you just want to move files, you can simply drag and drop the FRO the machine mounted TDM, or you can use the migration wizard.

  Or, if the other machine still starts and runs, you can start both computers and connect to the same wifi network and share the hard drive like machines on the network.  Access them in the finder on the new machine files and drag-and - drop, or use the wizard migration, on wifi.

  I can access the shared files of most of my computers on the domain, but there are a few that have WINXP Pro can't do. Some of the XP computers can access it, but the only people who can't are XP.

You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have permissions.  The request is not supported.   All users have permissions and can view the files from other computers just these few who have been able to do actions.

• deleted files & folder still show when sharing media with XBOX

  I use my XBOX to connect to my windows7 system which is part of the homegroup with multimedia file sharing.  I can access the files and play the video very well.   My problem is when I remove a video folder shared on the computer of Windows7, it always appears in the show still files XBOX as a shared file, or even deleted as existing, but they really aren't there.  How can I force the system to update the list to see what is really in the files?

  I saw that as well, but I think it's the xbox caching (storage) the list and not in fact that Windows 7 is offering an old list.  Re-establishment of the connection to the computer settings of the Xbox seems to refresh, or you can just wait and it will eventually regenerate (for me, a few hours).  Turn on/off the Xbox could even help him out.

• I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer.

  I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer. The computers are connected by a switch, fixed IP addresses that are correctly configured and point to a DNS server outside the network. When I try to open the icon for one of the computers, he asked for credentials. I try to type the user name for the computer that is sharing the resource and the password. It is the user account whose computer is loged on and belongs to the Administrators group. for example: user name (Computer1\username) password (password). It does not work. The Windows Firewall is disabled on all computers. It worked well there 2 days. I can't find anything wrong with the network settings. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

  If the portion of the machine has activated - Simple file sharing (i.e. it is XP Home or it is XP Pro with Simple (default) file sharing) - while all file sharing connections authenticate as user 'guest '.  It will not matter what username / password you provide, it will attempt to authenticate as 'guest '.  If the guest user has received a password or the guest account is not active, you will experience the symptoms you describe.

  If the serving machine running XP Pro and Simple file sharing is disabled, then you should be able to connect by specifying the user as computer\user and the password to connect.  To turn off Simple file sharing:
