This computer can't connect to a homegroup

Tried to start a group home on my computer, but it failed to halfway through (maybe because the two networks present - Wireles and Ethernet). Now I can not remove the homegroup (partial) and when I go in the homegroup in Control Panel, I get "this computer Can t Connect to a Homegroup" and "residential group is not ready yet. Please try again in a few minutes... "I think only a few days and an excessive number of swear words is enough time to regroup. I think I need to get rid of the group home part-time to start from scratch.

I'm on W7 Ultimate and the Group House based on the ethernet network. (I disabled the WiFi card).

All ideas before computer (or I go out of the window).

Hi Tom,

If you see a home group existing, then delete the home group and create a new.

You can also try to run the Fixit tool from this link and check if it helps.

    Have you checked the firewall? Could be a firewall anti-virus that keeps you from log, as that happened to someone else on this forum recently.

  • This computer can't connect to the remote computer. ONLY 2 people it out 200 users...? baffeled by WindowsXPe Thin Client RDP connection

    Here's the situation.  We have 2 TS servers running WIN2K3 and 200 users with Thin Clients.  We'll call it the first server A and b of a second.

    They normally connect to an IP address and they will be directed to the server A or B according to the load.

    However; users can still select the specific TS server, they want to connect to.

    If user 1 and user 2 cannot connect to Server B.  They get the error listed above in the title.  However the user 1 and 2 can connect to A server.  If they say:

    192.168.123.2 the two of them get

    192.168.123.3 the two of them cannot get.

    I deleted the user de.3 A profile and it still can't get.  I have checked no orphan key inHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEMicrosoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    I checked the settings in TSCC. MSC, I' checked worm Licensing by user and they are good, I gave them full administrator privileges and still not pass via the serveur.3, they adhere to all groups within the ORGANIZATIONAL unit that they can connect to TS, they were able to connect to her very well this back on Wednesday.  It is not a firewall issue and port 3389 has been verified in the case otherwise he would not just these two on each CT they try.

    Again, they can get utilisant.2.

    In the event de.3 Viewer I can see users connected CORRECTLY but then it pop their right.  There is no other error message when connecting, just the success Message in the security log.

    Let's bounce servers tonight so I'll have to turn it back on and I pray that they can later log on this server, but I'm baffeled.  Why only 2 people would receive this question and most (not sure how many others there may be, but I know 30 people connected today on this server and worked out of it) people are not getting an error.

    The thin client on their desktop is not the issue, because the error follows them any CLIENT LÉGER, they are connecting from.

    Short of this re-boot and short to delete accounts and recreate them, ideas?

    Found the problem.  I did not remove the key to all the indicated previously.  I should have done that for this user since her CentralProfile Key was empty when she had to be filled in by the system.  Removed his Key specific SID for listed above point and viola.  User can connect.

  • I bought the photo College as long as on the photo gallery I down loaded it does not find low .i loaded in my other computer, no problem, I searched in this computer can not find it helps.

    I bought the College picture for my other computer, no problem, I tried to do the same thing with yhis computer can't find it. I went where it should be, but it isn't here.

    Hello, Dorian,

    If you have downloaded in Internet Explorer, go to tools, click View downloads, and you'll see the directory where it has been downloaded. Not visible? Look down, in the bottom left of the word 'options', click on this and it will display the current default folder for downloads, but after writing it down, you can change it to any folder of your choice (mine is C:\__Downloads - always watch first!).

    If you use another browser, go to this toolbar for browsers and search for the download folder and display it. You should find similar settings for the other locations.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

  • As this computer remote desktop connection cannot connect to the desktop remotely

    Sometimes, I try to connect to my desktop and I get an error and sometimes it works and sometimes does not.

    Why is this?

    This could happen if you use a Wi - Fi connection with network problems, if some of the data is lost in transit.
    You can run this command to see if there is packet loss:
    ping-l 512 f - n 100

    It will send 100 queries and should receive 100 responses from the remote computer.
    If get you all "Request timed out" messages, then this might be a firewall is not blocking the pings on the remote computer.
    If get you one or more "Request timed out" messages, then this might be a network problem.

  • HP ENVY 700-059c: 10 Windows cannot set up a homegroup on this computer

    The message I get when I try to put in place a homegroup on this computer is "Windows cannot configure a homegroup on this computer". I tried everything that was suggested on troubleshooting of the forums that I searched the web on this problem but without success. I am trying to create a network with your computer and a Dell 64 bit of Windws 10 laptop.
    Two computers on the same workgroup and I can set up a homegroup on the Dell, but when I try to join the homegroup on the HP I get the same error message. It has been suggested that I have delete the Group residential Dell and put in place a new homegroup on the HP, but HP won't let me set up a new group of residential. Where am I wrong?

    As I said in my last post, I had no chance to get all of my network to the top, but after going through the fixes proposed by WAWood I realized that fixation on the establishment of a group residential wasn't getting me anywhere. I decided to search the web forums for a solution for the operation of "Peer Networking Grouping" of service, something I had not been able to do (strangely enough by clicking on the button 'Start' a billion times has absolutely nothing) since this mess began. Here are the procedures that seemed most likely to have success. First test was to change the registry using a suggestion of:

    http://www.tenforums.com/network-sharing/9691-computer-can-not-join-create-HomeGroup.html

    Modify the key to register IPv6 to enable IPV6
    ==========================
    a. Click Start, type regedit in the search bar and then click regedit in the list programs.
    Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    b. look for, and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters
    c. check whether the "DisabledComponents" registry key exists. If so, move on the next steps.
    d. double-click "DisabledComponents" registry key and change the value to 0.
    (If the key does not exist, please create the above key and assign a value of 0)
    e. exit the registry editor and then restart the computer.

    So far no change. On the next dose of:

    1. from the high CMD prompt, type the following command:

    net stop p2pimsvc /y

    2 delete the following file:

    'C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking\idstore.sst '.

    3. restart the computer.

    These two patches, apparently has not changed anything, but when I went back to Services and double clicked on grouping network of peers, and then clicked on the 'Connect' tab I found that the "Local System account" is selected and the box "Allow service to interact with desktop" was checked. Since I knew my many visits in this tab that it wasn't the way it was configured initially, I checked the properties of the service directly under it (Peer Networking Identity Manager) the tab 'Connect' showed that this account has been selected, and the term "Local Service" was in the right text box to the right of this account. In the two boxes just below this text box were two boxes labeled password and confirm password boxes contained 14 points. I decided it looked a lot like what I remember that the log on tab of the properties of "Peer Networking Grouping" dialog box has been initially configured. I returned to the journal of Peer Networking Grouping tab and made properties the following steps.

    Chose "This account" and deselect "Local System account".

    "Local Service" text typed into the text box next to "this account".

    Delete all the points in the 'Password' and 'Confirm password' boxes

    Clicked on apply

    Clicked on the tab general and click the button start (Yay he actually started)

    Restarted the computer

    From there on, I was able to set up a homegroup, and then I was able to reach him this homegroup on my laptop connected wireless and viola, I have a network.

    Thanks to WAWood for set me on the path to try to get the 'Peer Networking Grouping' service running as my ultimate goal.

    Hi Katmandu774,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    The Public folder is a convenient way to share files that are stored on your computer. You can share files in this folder with other people using the same computer and with people using other computers on the same network. Any file or folder you put in the folder Public is automatically shared with the people who have access to your Public folder.

    If you are not on a domain, you can limit network access to the Public folder so that people with a user account and password for this computer. To do this, turn on sharing protected by password.

    1. Open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
    2. Click the arrow next to password protected sharing, and then click one of the following options:

    ·         Turn on password protected sharing

    ·         Turn off password protected sharing

    1. Click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To control the level of access to the Public folder

     

    1. Open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
    2. Click the arrow next to public folder sharing, and then click one of the following options:

    ·         Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open files

    ·         Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open, change and create files

    ·         Turn off sharing (people logged on to this computer can still access this folder)

    1. Click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Also, make sure you add everyone to the public folder and give the necessary permissions to access it.

  • Can this computer run 64 bit?

    I'm going to buy a Dell Optiplex 745 and wanted to know if this computer can run Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  Here are the specs.

    My PC running the 32-bit version or 64-bit Windows?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

    Windows 7 64 bit comes in handy when you need to deal with at least 4 GB of RAM or more. Windows 7 32 bit can use up to 3.2 GB of RAM. Because the address space of memory is much larger for 64-bit Windows, this means that you need two times more memory than the 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do much more, you can have more apps open, do things like run a virus scan in the background it will affect the performance of your system. 64-bit Windows 7 is safer too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable because they must be signed before it can work with 64 bit Windows 7.

    Regarding compatibility, you need device drivers 64-bit hardware devices, you may have. In addition, there is no 16-bit subsystem in Windows 7 64-bit, which means, your applications must be 32-bit only, not 16-bit Installer or programs uninstaller. Also, if you decide to switch to Windows 7 64 bit in the future, there is no way to upgrade from 32-bit Windows, clean install only.
