Simple network share problem

I suspect that it is an easy problem to solve, but it gives me a bit of pain. I am running windows 7. I have a folder that I share on my network (for the sake of examples, lets call this 'Film' folder). I want to access this folder on the same network through my laptop partners without success.

Here is the run down. The network is in the same apartment. The computer with the shared folder is a wired PC, and mobile partners is wireless. My folder is shared to everyone - read-only. I can say that it is properly shared when I look at the network folders and see those that I put up for sharing. When I look at network connections on my partners laptop, I see the PC appear on the laptop. Everything seems fine until this point.

When I select the PC on the network, I get a prompt to enter a user name and password. I don't know how to solve this problem.

I do really not use a user name or password on my PC. So how to create this other account?

Yes, you do, but you can now be unaware of it because you or someone else automated logon process. Here's what you need to do:

  1. Open Control Panel, and then double-click user accounts.
  2. Make a note of your user name. It is part of your identity!
  3. Click change your password. When you share files, you must have a password.
  4. Set a password. Keep it simple, for example 123456. Save paper!

Post again if do not want to enter the password for each connection.

    Your TCP/IP settings does not seem right to me - which is not among the order for a private network numbers.  Maybe that's why you're having problems.  Also, it seems that you have enabled permissions so perhaps that's why you have an access problem (you may not be the configuration of permissions on both machines for users of the other machine).  It is difficult to tell what you have provided - there are many other settings and I'm not sure of what you have done with all of them.

  • Problem backup files of MS Office 2007 to the network share on non-persistent pool

    I use ThinApp to load MS Office 2007 in a non-persistent pool. Whenever I try to save an Office file to a network share start installation of the application. It takes a lot of time. Any ideas on that?

    Thank you

    Sheph003

    Are you sure that the last-born is a factor here?  It seems more that you have not properly packaged.  Have you tried the same operation of the master image?  To avoid problems, the best way to package the ThinApp is using the same basic build vm that you use for your link clones but without all the apps still installed i.e. windows Basic.

    For example I have 2 images - 1 is Windows XP only, the 2nd is a progression of this image with installed software that becomes the parent.  Thinapps are packed on a copy of the image 1 running on VM Workstation.  I know that my image of parent and ThinApp image have the same windows build due to the process, I followed.

    I don't see what last-born can have no effect on your problem?

  • Unable to save pennies on network share

    A user has problems recording on a share network as follows:

    His iMac runs El Capitan. She opens a PDF of his email and stores them on the desktop. She manipulates using Adobe Acrobat and recorded on network. However, it is now to find that when she tries to do a save as on the network share, the button 'save' is grayed out. I tested with Microsoft Word as well, and the same problem occurs. Recently it started to happen.

    If she copy and glue the documents from his office on the network share then there is no problem, and I told him to do this as a workaround for now. It seems to be no problem with its access to the drive that it maps without problem and she can open and manipulate documents from there. As a test, I tried this on her personal network drive and again the "Save" button is grayed out.

    I suspect there is a simple resolution to this, but I was unable to reproduce the problem on my Mac Mini running El Capitan - I can't save slot for readers network without problem. I searched the forums but cannot see a solution.

    Someone at - it ideas?

  • The Windows Firewall blocks network share on Windows 7

    I'm currently on Windows 7 Pro x 64.  I use the firewall of Windows of Microsoft Security Essentials and Microsoft.  No firewall AV or additional software is currently installed.  I regularly use the many Xbox 360 to stream media content of this machine on the home network.  In addition, I set up a homegroup to share resources such as printer and fileshares with other machines in the House.  It's all working perfectly until a few weeks ago.  No direct changes to installation other than updates of Microsoft, Adobe (Flash) and Oracle (Java).  Now, unless I turn off the Windows Firewall, my xboxs can not see the sharing machine, and no other network computers can print/share via homegroup.

    Currently, discovery network, file sharing of printers and streaming media are disabled and cannot be reactivated.  Check the radio buttons on the first two, then clicking to save does nothing.  I get sent to the network and sharing Center screen, but when I check again options for change advanced sharing settings, the options are returned to the people with reduced mobility.  Media streaming from this screen says it is on (even if this is not the case), but when I select the option to change this, it says it is disabled (which is correct).  By selecting the option to turn on media streaming continuously, does nothing.  I can click constantly with no change.

    I ran the Virus Scan free from Symantec online as long as complete system scan MSSE where each is an element, and in each case, the two elements have been removed (for the threat found by Symantec) NPE and (for the number found by MSSE) the MSSE tool.  I also run SFC/scannow and repaired the problem identified.  With two comprehensive analyses of each tool, I am sure that my machine is the threat and corruption free.

    In addition, I went through the list of services recommended to 'start' and 'automatic' which was published MANY times by MANY people.  For clarity, I have all these started and set to automatic:

    o computer browser
    o Client DHCP
    o customer DNS
    o network connections
    o knowledge of network locations
    o remote procedure call (RPC)
    o server
    o support TCP/IP Netbios
    o workstation

    With all these started, I can not follow the discovery of the network, the file and printer sharing, and streaming media options running.  I also made sure upnp started as well.

    I noticed, however, when I disabled the Windows Firewall, all options could be changed and stayed changed.  I added WMP to the firewall allow list and activated the firewall.  All options have yet.  In the firwall outgoing options are all set to allow, if incoming is currently refused saying "block all connections to programs that are not on the list of allowed programs."  It is the default state of Windows Firewall.

    Run without AV and a FW is NOT an option.  Specifically, these are tools MS and should not conflict with these simple network features.

    Help

  • Disk utility can not create large image of drive (60 GB) on the network share

    Disc Utiity (Versie 15.0 (1511.3)):

    I am creating a disc from a hard disk image. I want to save the image on a Synology DS414 network share.

    The share is accessible a there is no active disk quota.

    I copied a large file via Finder (384 MB) to the \\partagereseau that works.

    When I try to record a copy of disk sharing (60 GB), I get the following message:

    Unsatisfactory area is available on "(null)" to create the NAME of diskimage. Choose another volume with at least 60 GB of available space and continue.

    Summary: I can create large files on the share, but the disc utilities cannot?

    Greetings Wim

    384 MB is nowadays is no longer considered to be a file of "big."

    You don't mention how much space is actually available on the Synology but for arguments sake, we will assume that more than 60 GB of space is available.

    So in theory it should be possible to create a disk image of 60 GB (no doubt), there is enough space available. As you say there is no set of storage quotas and I'm happy to believe that. I think that the issue could be more to do with the maximum allowed size of the file, remember that I mentioned that 384 is actually not much, although some systems have a limit of 4 GB for a single file, for example FAT32 file systems have such a limit. In theory the FAT32 limit should not apply here because almost all including Synology NAS servers actually use Linux as the underlying software and so use Ext3 or Ext4 as file system, not FAT32. Same Ext2 a fortiori Ext3 or Ext4 allowing individuals will produce up to 2 TB of size which is clearly much larger than 60 GB.

    Still it could be related to that question even if it is necessary as an unnecessary and artificial limit may be for example to ensure compatible with other systems using FAT32.

    If you have enough space on the Mac, you could create and try to copy on the Synology, however another approach which is probably better all around is to create a "sparsebundle disk image. It's a disc image, but another type and will work around this problem because it is in fact made up of lots of all small files attached together. As that user do you see this as image a big drive, but the computer sees it as a folder full of files much smaller.

  • Why Windows backup will not work on a network share?

    I am running Vista Home Premium and have a drive WD MyBookWorld NAS on a MS LAN.  OneCare used to do all my backups, never had any problem, but OneCare is no more.  I also have a NAS Iomega 2 TB hard drive and the problem is exactly the same for that too - XP and 7 can save on it, Vista can not.

    Windows backup works very well for readers SIN of my XP and 7 machines, but both the Vista, those who refuse.  I can drag and drop files from Vista to NAS, it's just the backup center who is the problem.  When I select the NAS drive for the backup on, he asks a user name and password.  My login to the Vista machine id does not work, and the administrator to the NAS password does not work.  The procedure fails with the 0x800706C6 message.  He refuses also backup on XP or 7 machines (with different messages).  He would be the backup on my other machine to Vista, but I do not have spare storage!
    I have read articles countless and tried to turn on/off control of accounts and mapping changes the network drive, without success - the error message, but does not go far.
    There is an industry on the internet trying to sell people PCHA (what is described as a Microsoft product), but I can't find any help on the Microsoft web site.  It is very bad, when the fault is so common.
    Help, please.  What should I do?

    Hello

    Windows Home Premium backup can't backup on a network location.
    So you will need to use an application of part 3. Professional, comprehensive and Enterprise edition
    backup to a network share.

    You can share files and use the 3rd backup XP to do or use Acronis or other
    party utilities.

    I prefer for the most of backup data and prefer to do it in a way that makes it easy to find
    and to restore a file as well as many.

    Replicator - free - excellent backup tool for backing up the data

  • Windows XP sp3 can not access the network shares on vista after installing sp2

    I have a xp sp3 computer and another currently running vista Home premium sp2. Previously, I was able to access the network share on the xp computer before vista computer I installed sp1. Both computers were able to ping between them without problem.

    I've upgraded to sp2 because I had problems with windows media center, missing records. Upgrade of these issues fixed, but this means that roll back to sp1 is not an option for me to get operational network.

    Please do not post a standard answer on the network configuration. I am familiar with the standards requirements to share files between xp and vista and everything is set up correctly.  Like I said everything was working fine before the installation of sp2.

    If it is a known problem that is still not resolved, I'd appreciate knowing that information as well.

    Edit: Firewall been disabled during my troubleshooting

    After more work, I was able to solve my problem.  Update zone alarm solved my problem and helped my windows xp machine to access my Vista network shares.  As I pointed out in the original post, zone alarm firewall has been disabled during my troubleshooting.  Apparently, when disabled, the old version of zone alarm has always been the origin of the problem.

  • Monitoring of the performance of the network share

    Was asked to monitor the performance of a drive mapped from a network share in Windows. We would like to have an idea of how long it takes to open/close/save a file on this share to different locations. As I know the Infrastructure Officer cannot monitor readers mounted remotely. I thought I could use Foglight Transaction Recorder and CitraTest to do. If someone else tried to do this? Or someone has used other methods or can think of ways to do this?

    Thank you

    Kris

    Hi antoniusfirst,

    No you don't misunderstand the question. We have a license for Citratest, so it wouldn't be a problem, but I agree that it is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I like your idea of using perl or python to do that, because it would probably be more flexible and adaptable. In fact I have been informed that the question seems to particularly affect Excel files, but some quick research on Google reveals that I have options here with perl or python too.

    Thanks for the comments, it was very helpful.

    See you soon

  • How to know the username of an account on a network share

    When I access a network share from another computer with windows Explorer, it tries to connect with identification information (current account & password or the credentials previously stored or depends on the settings of the remote computer as a guest), if not, it prompts for username & password (depending on certain parameters again). My problem is when I access a network share, I want to know my credentials (username) on the network computer.

    Is there any command or no way to definitely know what username I connect to a network share with windows Explorer?

    Original title: account in the network share

    Hi Aoikonomou,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    If I understand you correctly, you want to know the credentials of your system when you connect to a network share. I wish to inform you that all the names of login and passwords are supported by Credential Manager. By saving your credentials, Windows can automatically log in to websites or other computers. Credentials are stored in special files called vaults on your computer. Windows and programs (such as web browsers) can safely give the credentials in the vaults to other computers and websites.

    To know your Windows credentials, you can read the following steps to open the Manager of credentials:

    1. Press the Windows key + X.
    2. Click on Control Panel.
    3. Type "Credential"" " in the search bar and select credentials manager. "
    4. Click Windows credentials.
    5. You will be able to see the user names and password (hidden).

    In order to store passwords for automatic connection, see the following article:

    Store passwords, certificates, and other credentials for automatic logon

  • Windows 7 loses access to the network share when unplug wired connection

    With my laptop Windows 7 Pro (64-bit SP1;) docked and thus have wired network (within a domain), I can access shares network very well. A wireless connection is active at the same time. When I detach, Windows Explorer and Office applications get upset some of the time. In addition, this is the case when I anchor. He didn't there has no problem opening a file on the network share when I'm rooted or not anchored, but the transition is not well. Windows launches the error code 0 x 80070035, Windows cannot access , the network path was not found. When it is connected to our wireless network, the machine name is altered by an additional letter. The latter has led to a problem that had to be cleared up by a patch installed by my system administrator, but the problem persisted.

    I understand that Windows 7 should be smart enough to pass interfaces for network access, having a preference for a wiring if it is available (perhaps even the connection data rate). Maybe it's too much to expect that the operating system could make this transition, but it seemed that my Vista laptop has done very well. Any suggestions are welcome.

    Thank you.
