• Cannot get Windows 7 homegroups to work properly. Double-click a shared library on another machine in the residential group doesn't.

  I just bought a new laptop with Windows 7 on it, so I decided to try the new homegroup in Windows 7 feature.  I activated the homegroup on my desk and apart from the music, photos and videos.  I then joined the residential group with the new portable computer using the password provided by the office shared libraries and the same 3 homegroup.  All appeard to put up correctly, but I can't browse libraries shared each machine to other machine.  I have the Homegroup and click on the other machine and I see 3 libraries, but when I click on any one of them does nothing.  This happens on both machines.   The only way I can get the residential groups to work is to first go to the other machine and provide credentials on the other machine.  After doing this, the homegroup files begin to work.  I was under the impression that the homegroup password was all I had to have access to all shared folders with the homegroup, but the only way I can get the homegroup to work is first authenticate itself to other machine using a user name and password.

  The two machines are configured with the following:

  • Network discovery is enabled
  • File sharing and printer is enabled
  • Public folder sharing is on
  • Streaming Media is on
  • File sharing connections is configured to use 128-bit encryption
  • Password protected sharing is on
  • Homegroup connections is set up to allow Windows to manage.

  I came across this forum because I had the same problem today. Real quickly, I have two laptops, one running windows 7 Home premium 32-bit and the other runs windows 7 Professional 32-bit. I have comcast for my internet provider and their cable modem attached to my belkin wireless router. I don't know if my fix will work for someone else, but it worked for me, so this is.

  1. unplug the router cable modem wireless
  2. connect the router to one of your computers using an ethernet cord
  3. open a web browser and type in the IP address of the router in the Web page bar (as when you type hotmail.com to go check your email). Mine is a belkin so 192.168.2.1 has worked for me.
  4. the control of the router page should open, and one of the options should be to reset factory settings, do this.
  5. DO NOT CONNECT THE ROUTER TO THE CABLE MODEM
  6 configure the router in the same way that you did when you first installed the router, but just to be sure, I used another name for the network
  7. Once you have the password set up and named network you can disconnect the ethernet cable.
  8. connect to the new network without wire of each computer (just like when you connect to a wireless network) choose House (rather than work or public) for the network location.
  9. at this stage my homegroup didn't work, if it is not there for you, you may need to set up the homegroup in Control Panel.
  10. once the residential group is working the way you want to connect the router wireless to the modem cable and check to see if your internet connection is working by opening a web browser and go to any old site
  Hope this helps!

• 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

• Windows 7 homegroup doesn't let me sign on it goes on to say: he can't use my password

  Homegroup has my daughter of its own computer name.  Now homegroup, not make me sign

  Hi JunePeters,

  There are several reasons why you might not be able to access your homegroup. First, try to run a Wizard Fix It to diagnose and fix common problems with access to a homegroup.

  Why can't I access my homegroup? :

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/why-cant-i-access-my-HomeGroup

  Also run the HomeGroup troubleshooter from the link below.

  If your computer has problems viewing computers or shared files in your homegroup, try to use the resolution of the problems of the residential group to solve the problem. It ensures that your computer different network services work correctly, and that your computer is a member of a homegroup.

  Open the homegroup troubleshooting utility:

• Windows 7 homegroup starter tries to connect to the other win 7 homegroup not working does not as expected

  I have two samsung n140 NetBook, both come with Windows 7 starter, I try to get things homegroup networking.

  I have set up with the default values at the same time to share the photo, video files etc under homegroup sharing.

  He was asked to create a password for homegoup I did it (could have come because I have a NetBook connected initially to a pc running win 7 ultimate, which is where I created a homegroup password but this pc is no longer connected to the network, it's just two samsung netbooks)

  in any case when I connected this other netbook with the first he asked me the homegroup password that was entered successfully by me. However, nothing has been free since. These two netbooks running win7 are the only PCs in my home group.

  Ive managed to get to a point where in the record of the house band that netbook names are displayed in eachothers homegroup however is listed in network for the group shares residential eachother trying to access the network.

  Can I cannect for both computers on the network in the way outdated by sharing folders and access the network folder in my network places and can read and write, but not in the home group.

  Homegroup is where I want to control networking not by any other means, I would be very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction please or if its win 7 starter limit myself from network access to the homegroup.

  Thank you very much

  Hey fatfei,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

  I want to erase some of the basics of networking in Windows 7 Starter edition.

  You cannot create a homegroup to a computer running Windows 7 Starter Edition. You can reach only a HomeGroup existing of the starter edition.
  This must be one of the restrictions placed on you while trying to connect the two starter edition of Windows 7 homegroup.

  So the only option left out here is upgraded to another version of Windows 7 that supports creating HomeGroup via Windows Anytime Upgrade or stick to the way they are connected at present.

  For more information, please read this article.

• RMAN backup Linux drivers shared on windows 2008 Server.

  Hi all
  
  I want to know is - it possible to rman backup to shared disk windows 2008 for a database of runnig under Linux.
  
  I tried it and getting rman-03002 followed by ORA-19504, error Ora-27040 and linux-x86_64.
  
  I used the following command to mount my windows share
  Mount-t cifs/o username = administrator, password = "XXXXXX" //172.16.1.50/files/MNT
  
  
  Concerning
  Nidsh
  
  Edited by: 883687 August 15, 2012 23:08

  Hello;

  It should be possible. The ORA-27040 is

  "O/S-Error: (OS 3) The system cannot find the path specified."
  

  and the second error ORA-27040 seems to be an effect of the first.

   File create error, unable to create file
  

  Could be a permissions problem, so if you can mount the disk space windows, but cannot write to it (yet)

  There is a note of support Oracle that covers this:

  ORA-19504 ORA-27040 during Rman backup in a Directory Windows mounted under Linux [464267.1 ID]

  Which confirms, in my view, the answer is Yes.

  Further that:

  RMAN fail with ORA-19504 ORA-27040 when backup remote server linux [726858.1 ID] Windows Mount Volume
