• When I try to share files between two computers Windows XP with SP3, I'm invited for a user name and password on both.

  I set up a home network with 2 computers with XP Media Center 2002 SP3 1 and 1 with XP Home SP3 2002 can see computers on the network and the Ping works. But I wonder a user name and password. seems to come from the computer. Do not see documents shared to the Media Center computer.

  original title: file sharing problems.

  As far as I can remember, Media Center is XP Pro with additional multimedia functions.  What follows is a very old post by MS MVP Malke, but the Council is still sound:

  File sharing / print

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

  Configure Windows to login automatically (MVP Ramesh) -.

  http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

  In another answer Ken_f suggest "a source online to centrally store the files. It's a way to do it, but not the only way.
  Using your router, you can set up a working group between the two
  computers (do a search on the web for info on how to do this) and share all
  files or the files anything you want to share. Personally, I prefer
  This method, since storing files online requires a certain

• Cannot share files between two computers.

  I want to be able to share files between my computer and my wife we have a home network and I can see the file sharing is enabled.   When I go to the networks in Explorer:
  1. I see her computer
  2. He asks me a username and password.  What is my user name or his.
  3. password?  Is the WiFi password, the home page group passes, my password of the computer or its password to the computer.

  I have not found a combination that works.   I need to get this working so that we can both use Quickbooks. It would be useful for many other exchanges of files we currently do by e-mail.    Note that we have no problem to access two network printers, or send files to a print server that manages our tracer.

  Hello

  Sorry for the late reply.

  Method 1

  I suggest leaving the homegroup and see if it helps.

  Leave a homegroup

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/leave-a-HomeGroup

  After that I suggest you refer to the procedure described in the following article and join in Group once more.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows/HomeGroup-help#HomeGroup-start-to-finish=Windows-7&V1H=win81tab1&V2H=win7tab1

  Method 2

  I suggest you to temporarily disable the anti-virus by following the link below and check the State.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

   

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Please let us know if the problem persists. We will be happy to help you further.

  Thank you.

• Is there a way to synchronize files between two computers?

  I'm trying to find a program or a feature that will synchronize your laptop with a desktop computer.  for example the folder My Documents reproduced on two PCs.

  In the past two years, a few wonderful web file and folder synchronization services became available.  I use SugarSync.  Others include Windows Live Mesh and Dropbox.

  For synchronization of files and folders on a local network, I use the second copy.  Others include Microsoft SyncToy and Karen's Replicator.

• Content of mail to sync between two computers

  Is it possible to synchronize the content of mail between two computers [iPhone, if possible]? Computers currently send and receive the same two e-mail accounts [not an account of @iCloud.com]. But if I receive an email, reply or remove it on a single computer, it is always also a new email unread on the other. It's a possibility, perhaps with a disc of individual cloud?

  Late 2008 MacBook Pro. El Capitan 10.11.3

  Mac Mini; El Capitan 10.11.6

  iPhone 6; IOS 9.3.5

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Only IMAP e-mail accounts sync on devices. That's how to operate these services - nothing else is required to achieve this.

  If your email is responsible for no synchronization across all computers and devices, you must have type accounts pop connect you to these accounts via a web browser and look at your options and account services. POP is such an old system these days there is almost nobody left that enemies do not switch to IMAP.

  If all this is confusing, call your email providers and ask them to make the change on their end, then ask the information you will need to enter on your computers and your iDevices.

• "Limited connection" when you configure the network between two computers XP.

  Original title: Configuration of the network connection

  Trying to establish a network connection between two home PCs., both running Windows XP Pro. Have been through the network on both PC Setup Wizard but, they still say limited, in fact no connection. I use an Ethernet cable between the two Crusader. If it is true what I'm doing wrong?

  Thanx Terry

  Old but good, networking tips from MVP Malke, MS:

  The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. This way you get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of security more between you and the Internet. Then you configure your network wireless safely, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Here is information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It seems long, but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and the LAN of sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

  The router configuration

  Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista, maybe the CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set up the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet cable for the connection you have just set up the router to DHCP (or there may even be a choice of cable to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you select TRP usually and enter the username and password you selected when you initially set the DSL connection. So:

  1. turn off the power to your cable modem.

  2. attach a cable (usually supplied with the router) course Ethernet cat5e Internet/WAN port of the router to the Ethernet port on the cable modem.

  3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.

  4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

  To configure the router:

   

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar.

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). If you have a newish computer, you will be able to affect security WPA2-Personal Mode. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password you created to join the network and start surfing.

• Remote access share folder between two computers

  I have two computers connected by a CAT5 cable, have all two firewall is enabled. This network has a server, DNS & DHCP server or router. Only two computers XP SP3.

  • Firewall is enabled
  • File sharing and printer checked with selected custom list

  Two types of tests:

  Test 1: I configured two computers with a static IP address and enter the IP subnet 10.0.0.0/24 network in the custom list. The PC - A (10.0.0.1) and typing\\computername or \\IP_AddressPC - B (10.0.0.2) access. Access to shared folder has no problem with this setting.

  Test 2: I changed the dynamic IP address static IP on both computers and let XP itself generate dynamic IP 169.x.x.x. I went to the list of custom and changed in 169.0.0.0/16, this settings I'm unable to access the remote folder.

  • I could not access by \\IP_Address get a message error "network path was not found.
  • \\Computername took almost a minute to open a window, but he has now shared resources, such as file sharing.
  • I can ping by IP address, but could not ping by ComputerName

  Issues related to the:

  1. Class B is allowed in the custom list?
  2. Can I use the IP address dynamic Windows XP for the connection between two computers or on multiple computers?
  3. Why class C has worked very well and no class B?
  4. Is it because I used XP dynamic IP or custom list accesses no class B or both?

  Hello

  Part of a Wireless cable/DSL Router is a DHCP server.

  The server assigns the IP address to network computers are configured to Auto obtain IP address.

  If for some reason, the computer cannot connect to the router, it cannot obtain an IP address and Windows assign a default IP 169.xxx.xxxx.xxx. This IP address is not functional for regular internet IP and network.
  
  Since you don't have any DHCP server on your system, you must use static IP as you did before.

• What is the fastest way to transfer files between two Windows 7?

  I have two machines windows 7. I use LAN to copy files. It is only 140 Kbps. Then I use TeraCopy to the task. The speed is now 410 kbit/s. It is still too slow to copy a 80 GB of files via the LAN.

  You have any good ideas?

  I Googled that there are a lot of said articles file copy Windows 7 via the LAN is slow as it is the case, is it?

  I tried to use Windows Easy Transfer. Well, I do not see the speed, and I don't know how long it will take for the transfer file either.

  I want to see a better plan and advice.

  Hello

  Transfer of files from one computer to another depends on many factors such as the speed of the computer and the method you choose to transfer the file.

• How to avoid synchronization of the settings between two computers

  I have two computers (a desktop computer all-in-one DELL and HP laptop).  Log-in at once is my Microsoft account.

  PROBLEM: When I 'customize' screen on one, the same changes are made on the other.   It is not desirable.  How to avoid that, far from making a second Microsoft account?

  To clarify - the ICONS are not duplicated, just any changes made to the themes of office such as colors or backgrounds.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello Beckinista,

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for your query details.

  I also like the fact you want to avoid synchronization of the settings between two computers.

  I suggest you stop the synchronization of all of the settings between two computers and check if it helps.

  Please see this link:

• How can I set sharing of files between two iMacs?

  I want to set up the sharing of files between two iMacs in my office. Both work on iOS 10.11.3 and both are on the same WiFi network. I'll Finder, select the name of the other computer under 'sharing', then ' connect under... ". ", and then enter the name and password of the other computer. On a computer, I am told that it is connected with each other. However, the second computer always shows "the connection failed". I tried the 'Registered user' choice of "Guest" and "using Apple ID", but none will establish the connection. There must be something obvious that I'm missing, but I wasn't able to find out. I also tried to see if they would communicate with Bluetooth. Bluetooth screens on each computer show the the other is detectable by the proper name, but is never establish a connection.

  Connect to the same network.

  Enable sharing of files on both machines.

  Select the items to share on each machine and check the box in the dialog box information.
