• Shared folder on the network publicly without using homegroup

  I try to share a folder on my network so that anyone can access and modify files in this folder. But I also have other actions, that they do not have access to the. Homegroup is not a viable alternative. The only solution I've seen in the past is to create a connection on my PC to allow users to open a session, however, allowing them to open a session locally is not an option either.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi Dave7

  You can try the following to see that you can allow users to access the share using anonymous authentication:

  1. Right-click on the folder you want to share, on the sharing tab note the network path
  2. Now go to start and find "Local security policy" and press on enter
  3. "Local policies", then click on Security Options
  4. Find the policy: "network access: Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users" and set the setting to "Enabled" and click OK
  5. Now find the policy: "network access: shares that can be accessed anonymously ', enter the network path you noted in step 1 in the text box, and then click OK
  6. Now open command prompt, you can search for cmd in start search and press enter
  7. Type the following command and press ENTER: gpupdate/force
  8. Now you should be able to access the share without the need to enter credentials, but if they try to access on the other hand they will be invited with the connection dialog box

  If please test and let me know if it works, or if you have any problems, as I suppose you are a local administrator on the computer.

  Please note that this will reduce security and can open an entry point that could easily be exploited, as anyone on the internet can potentially access share and emptying of viruses and trojans on it.

  Thank you

• Cannot access any shared folder on the network of windows 7 Professional

  Hello

  I have a very strange problem.

  I have a home network with 4 computers.
  I can share files from any computer to the other.

  Recently, I bought a new laptop Lenovo E530 in with Windows 7 Professional installed on it.

  The problem is that I can't access any shared folder on my home network by '\\com-name '.

  I cannot yet access the folders on the computer that is shared from the inside, by specifying there name with the prefix "\".

  However, I can ping or even make remote desktop on other computers on my network.

  I can also access shared folders on my Windows 7 Professional from other computers.

  Looks like there is something wrong with the configuration of my OS from Windows 7 Professional blocking access to any shared folder on my network.

  I get the following error message:

  Windows cannot access \\comp-name

  Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, it could...

  Error code: 0 x 80070035

  The network path was not found.

  I tried to use the button to diagnose, but without success.

  Help, please

  Dudi.

• Cannot access a shared folder on the computer Windows 7 on a Windows Vista-based computer

  I'm having a problem.

  I have a small network in my house consists of three computers.  One is running XP, it has Vista Home Premium, and it has Windows 7 Home Premium.  I usually use wireless networks, but I have the same problem if I use wired connections through my router.

  All three computers can see each other when I display the network on each.  I can ping each computer from other computers.  The problem is that when I try to access a shared folder on the Windows 7 computer from the Vista computer, I get an error window popping up that says:

  \\computer-name is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.  The network location cannot be reached.  For more information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help.

  I can get in the same shared folder on the XP computer.  I also have to shared folders on the XP computer Vista computer.

  I can also get to the shared folders on the XP and Vista computers on the Windows 7 computer.

  The only problem is learning to the shared folder on the Windows 7 computer Vista computer.

  The folder on the Windows 7 computer is configured to be shared by everyone.  Password sharing is disabled on all three computers.

  Any help would be appreciated.  If there is more information, I can give you, let me know.

  Thanks in advance,

• Network working group sharing

  I was charged with the task of improving the file sharing on my place of work. Currently, run us across the room flash drives. We are a small company with 4 identical dell desktop computers connected to the internet via a wireless router. Only 3 computers are used on a daily basis. All the computers are on the same network of working group, and I setup sharing on public folders, which works well for us, for now. Myself and others are concerned however that whenever we give visitors access to our wireless network, they will have access to our public folders and all our sensitive shared content. Is it possible that we can set up a location on the network that only certain users have access to read and write from?

  Since you use public folders within your office and seemed only concerned with guests on your wireless network and everyone in your office has equal access, wireless comments seems to be a very directly to the solution of point.

  That said, in a workgroup configuration, you can limit the access to shares by moving out of the Public folder, put them in a folder somewhere else (for example, a subfolder under Documents) and share it, turn on password protected sharing, and create accounts with usernames and passwords on workstations you want to access.

• Last update Acrobat DC - shared review on the network stopped working

  Hello comrades,.

  2 days ago, we received an automatic update to Acrobat DC and 'upgraded' to the 2015.006.30172 version.

  After that, the shared review Wizard no longer allows to initiate a shared on a dedicated network drive review.

  When specifying the path network folder and clicked on next, the status changes to "Failed to create the shared folder".

  Before the update, it worked fine.

  Has anyone encountered this problem?

  Thank you!

• I can't network 2 pc XP Pro in the same working group

  I just did a hard reinstall XP Pro on 2 computers.  PC has a file that is implemented under the shared name.  PC B requires access to A PC, but I do not see PC from PC B.  I see other computers via the network, but not this one.  Which can block this network connection?  I have Symantec Endpoint on PC B and disabled any blocking command he had.  I have Win fix Essentials on PC has and cannot find all the commands block.

  The message I get on PC B when I go in run and try to locate there: the path is not found, or I couldn't have the permissions.  The two pc is set for administrator privileges.  I tried to access the PC from one different computer (other than PC B) too, but I got the same message.

  Maybe this can help.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted

  Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block aspects of the Local traffic even it they are turned off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native Firewall is on.
