• Shared folders and Windows November 10 update

  Since "redevelopment" of the update of Windows 10 November, my shared folders do not work.  I had hoped that upgrading 8.1 Fusion is going to fix it but it didn't.

  Basically I enable shared folders, such as Documents and downloads, I can access it from the link on the desktop.  However, I don't get my y and Z: drives I was doing.  In addition, at the opening of the Explorer there suddenly from 30 to 60 seconds while he was apparently trying to find these discs.

  If I turn off sharing, the Explorer is fast and never crashes.

  I tried unisntalling/reinstalling VMWare tools, but it makes no difference.  I have to leave shared folders disabled to have a usable virtual machine.

  Any thoughts on how to fix this so that it works as it did before the November update?

  Hello

  Strange uninstall - reboot - install VMware Tools has been working flawlessly down here to solve a similar problem.

  There are a few things you can try.

  First check the registry that you do not:

  All you have to do is to change the registry

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order
  

  Name: ProviderOrder
  

  Type: REG_SZ
  

  Data: "RDPNP, LanmanWorkstation,webclient"
  

  He should have "vmhgfs" for the first option:

  Data: "vmhgfs,RDPNP, LanmanWorkstation,webclient"
  

  Second, try to re-create the shares.

  Remove them, turn off sharing, close the dialog box for sharing and then re - open the dialog box and try sharing once more and add the old shares in return.

  Yet another thing you can do is to disable the folder change event notification.

  The side effect of this is you will need to click Refresh in Windows Explorer to see a change, he could stop the slowness of your Explorer.

  While I use it myself I do not recommend for most users.

  isolation.tools.hgfs.notify.enable = "FALSE"

  Finally, I also see the hosts host file sharing slow down when there was a ton of files and anti-virus analysis actively sharing files.

  At least disable the scan compressed files.

• 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

• 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:

• can I use desktop using Windows 7 and Windows XP on the same network? I need allow sharing of printing

  I am trying to install 2 new computers running Windows 7 on one network of 12 others who are running Windows XP, do all need to have the same operating system?  I have a printer connected to the computer and cannot access it from my other computers.

  You can have virtually any network operating system support on computers on a particular network.  The only thing you can't do with Windows 7 computers in a mixed-OS situation is using the new "Homegroup" feature, because it's for Windows 7 only.

• Sharing files between Windows Vista and Windows 7

  Have a PC running Windows Vista wired that you can share files on the remote laptop running Windows 7, but the laptop cannot see the main Vista PC.  So he can't share files or printers.  The laptop has no problem to access internet.

  Configure any firewall program to allow access by other computers on the local network.  Note that some antivirus programs include firewall features.

• Sharing files between Windows 7 and Windows XP suddenly stops working

  I have a set up working groups between Windows 7 and Windows XP computers.  I don't usually have a problem of file sharing, but suddenly XP computers do not connect to the server from Windows 7.  It will work for a while and then stops.  In order to solve this problem, I have to restart the server from Windows 7.  However, this problem occurs more and more and I would have preferred to find a permanent solution.  I checked all the normal solutions (IE firewall, no passwords, etc.), but I still have this problem.  I'm sure that all my settings are correct, as I am able to connect most of the time, but I know that there must be a solution out there to fix it permanently.

  I read a post that I'm not sure is related to my question:

  This problem may occur if the IRPStackSize registry entry on the server is set too low. I was unable to connect to the XP PC from any other PC on the network. Set ip 15 and problems went
  

  If that is related, please let me know.

  What is a patch that I need to download for XP computers?

  Any help would be grateful.  Thank you!

• NETWORKING AND SHARING FILES IN WINDOWS 7

  As stated, I am putting in place on my simple file sharing network. Previously, it was only between two Macintosh computers, a Windows 7 machine and storage machine. Now, I want to add another laptop and PC - both running Windows 7 - to the network and connect to the storage machine, until then known as 'the server '.

  The laptop connect through wi - fi. The PC and Macintosh computers connect via ethernet. They are all on the same network. This network uses WPA2-PSK security. The parameters of sharing on all Windows PCs, including the server include:

  NETWORK DISCOVERY: WE

  FILE & PRINTER SHARING: WE

  PUBLIC FOLDERS SHARING: WE

  MEDIA STREAMING: WE

  FILE SHARING CONNECTIONS: 40/56 BITS

  SHARING PROTECTED BY WORD: OFF

  HOMEGROUP: USE ACCOUNTS USERS & PASSWORDS

  The same settings apply to public networks.

  In addition, every single player in all Windows computers have the following parameters:

  ADVANCES OF SHARING: SHARE THIS FOLDER

  USERS OF LIMIT: 20

  PERMISSIONS: EVERYONE

  TOTAL CONTROL: ALLOW

  CHANGE: ALLOW

  READ: ALLOW

  SECURITY: ADMINISTRATORS, AUTHENTICATED USERS + USER + SYSTEM

  TOTAL CONTROL: ALLOW

  EDIT: ALLOWS

  READ & EXECUTE: ALLOW

  CONTENTS OF THE FOLDER: ENABLE

  READ: ALLOW

  SPECIAL PERMISSIONS: HIDDEN

  However, I am not able to see some readers on some of the computers or encounter errors like this:

  WINDOWS CANNOT ACCESS \\SERVER\G

  YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED ACCESS TO \\SERVER\G. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR TO REQUEST ACCESS.

  
  When I click on "for more information, see Help and Support ', I am asked the following questions to which you will find listed answers:

  YOU HAVE NOT CREATED OR JOINED A WORKING GROUP
  I don't want to use the working groups.
  

  YOU DO NOT USE A HOMEGROUP, AND THE FOLDER OR PRINTER YOU'RE TRYING TO ACCESS HAS NOT BEEN SHARED
  I'm not interested by your nonsense whatever group, thank you.
  

  NETWORK DISCOVERY IS TURNED OFF
  No, it isn't.
  

  PASSWORD PROTECTED SHARING IS ENABLED
  No, it isn't!
  

  THE COMPUTERS ARE NOT IN THE SAME WORKGROUP
  They are not because I'm not interested in the use of working groups.

  It's supposed to be a joke or some jerk programmer think actually it was useful to distance?

  In fact, when I try to create a homegroup of the server, I don't see is a 'Register' button and clicking on that joined a homegroup belonging to one of Windows laptops for a silly reason. There is NO setting to CREATE a homegroup. I am only able to join an existing homegroup.

  TL:DR

  All I want to do is freely share files between devices approved on my secure network. Gage rocket science, Microsoft introduced in Windows 7, I don't want no part of it.

  Where is the "DISABLE all BLOODY SECURITY AND SHARE THE GODDAMNED FILES"button in Windows 7?

  Apologize for the delay in response.

  We understand your frustration, but the problem you are having is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Community forums.

• Impossible to activate permanent "network discovery and file sharing" in advanced sharing without turning windows firewall at the wide service.

  Environment:

  I have a workgroup Windows 8 pro PC with all updates from Windows update. The PC is connected via WiFi (home) to a router (the same thing happens if I am connected to the router directly via RJ45). It's my "private network (NAT). I have the Windows Firewall is enabled in its default configuration. I use "Windows Defender" as my protection\firewall of virus software.  "When I go to: change options for sharing different network profiles" under advanced sharing options. I try to turn on file sharing and network discovery in the private profile. It shows that "the private sector is the current profile. The radio button lights. However, when I go to the file Explorer / network I got the message ' network discovery and file sharing are turned off. " The network computers and devices are not visible. Click here to change... " I click to change, however when I click to change it keeps returning and gives me the same message. I then go in ""network control and Internet\Network and sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings " and the option buttons in private profile for the network discovery and file sharing are turned off."

  If I turn off the Windows Firewall. Everything works. I need to open a hole in the windows firewall for 2 applications was discovered and network file sharing. I opened rather not just blindly ports. However, if this is the only solution, what ports do I need open.

  Hi all

  I have exactly the same problem.  (and I'm not the only one. - There are many!) The problem does not lie with the Windows Firewall. If I turn it off, discovery network and file sharing is turned on-tour he turn it back on and its all disabled subsequently and the rest of the way.  I've been round and round the forums of the world looking for a solution but still find a definitive answer. Can certain software engineering in Microsoft Please arrive at the correct answer.

  Thank you very much

• Sharing network and permissions - Windows 2012R2

  I am trying to implement the actions of network and could use help. My plan is to create the following directory structure:

  D:\Shares$

  In the D:\Shares$ directory would be:

  D:\Shares$\Users

  D:\Shares$\Departments

  D:\Shares$\Shared

  D:\Shares$\Temp

  The Users directory would be %nom % directory, each user having access explicit only on file here

  The directory of departments would hold technical, accounting, etc. and should be available for specific users

  The shared directories and Temp would be open to all users

  I don't want users to be able to access or view the contents of the other directories

• We can establish a common partition for Mac OS and Windows Boot Camp

  I'm new to Mac, so please excuse my ignorance.

  I have a MacBookPro 11 mid-2015 with 512 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM.

  I have Mac OS X El Capitan and that you have installed 10 Windows using the Boot Camp utility on a 150 GB partition. I wanted a common partition on exFAT which could serve as a repository for my data either of the OS. My intention - 150 GB for Mac OS - 200 GB of data - 150 GB for Windows 10. How can this be achieved?

  Earlier, after the Boot Camp, I reduced the Mac OS to 350 GB partition to 150 GB and released 200 GB. Formatting this turned me expensive because it stopped my Windows to start. Repair it was a waste of time and effort. I draw the hard Windows on a Mac is sensitive to changes in the partition.

  In addition, is using Virtual Box better than Boot Camp? I don't have as much virtualized environments.

  Please advice.

  You can connect an external drive of ExFat formatted. The OSX and Windows can read/write on a disk formatted ExFat.

  A virtual machine has its advantages, as does a Boot Camp facility. A virtual machine allows the simultaneous OS, any necessary initialization to change operating systems. Data can be shared between operating systems more easily. Computer such as memory resources are shared in a VM for applications environment to run slower.

  Installation of Boot Camp allows Windows to run in native mode by using all of the system resources, so apps will go faster. But to change operating systems, a reboot is required. It is more difficult to share data.
