Thank you.

Hello

Thanks for posting the question. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue of the homegroup.

    "Your local network" is the computers that are on the same router as you. At home, this is your family.

    to: "computer name" is the name of the computer, they will see.

    Access is provided for items you decide to activate, usually file sharing. For sharing of files, ONLY the items that you specify in the file sharing dialog box details panel is accessible and be only users you EXPLICITLY list by username.

  • Cannot create the network location in my computer

    I can't create a network location in my computer. I open my computer and right click on an open area and enter the ftp://ftp.irvinerunningclub.co.uk location but get the error message "the folder you entered does not appear to be valid" I have another computer with the same version of windows 7 (home premium) that allows me to create this place without problem. Are there opportunities for a fix or a link to an update that corrects this problem?

    Hi Finlay,

    I understand that when you try to create a network location, you get an error.

    The error message you get usually occurs when Windows try to check the subfolders of the parent and parent. If the parent folder is not configured for WebDAV, the connection attempt fails.

    Please see the article below for more information:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2560598

    We can also refer to the link below and check if the steps you followed to create location are correct.

  • There is more than one active network connection on your computer

    I have two ISP with 2 different IP addresses of course. With one I connect via cable, the other is wireless. Until a couple of days, I'd keep the Wi - Fi turned off on the front of the case, to allow the laptop to connect only to the cable connection.
    Some sites were not loading, indicating problems with DNS resolution. I checked for possible reasons online. I tried to connect to these sites using a webproxy and it worked, so I thought I would try the wireless connection. I turned on and sites would be load normally. However, when I checked my ISP number this shows that the active connection cable one.
    I hesitated to leave the switch turned on, but in order to leave these sites load, I thought I had no other choice. Needless to say that I am not notified at all or with the networks or computers.
    Everything seemed to work fine until the wireless connection has started having problems anyway, it stopped working (ISP issues), so stopped at new loading sites. I tried troubleshooting it and he said: "it has more than one active network connection on your computer" and suggested I would disconnect them. Naturally, I unplugged the wireless connection. Problems: I can not load the sites that seem to need to have wireless to turn on. Note that it does not need it to be active, only to have this switch.
    Please let me know if there is anything I can do to correct this inability to connect to the servers of some sites without the need to have that switch on. If there is no explanation for this behavior, which does not make sense. Again, I know nothing about networks or computers, forgive my ignorance!
    I use Windows 7 Home Premium x 64, my laptop is a Vaio. This happens on all my browsers and sites that have stopped loading were load normally when I 1st turned on the laptop the same day. To later that day there some sites stopped to load, which made me think it was a matter of site. Then I realized that it was not connect to twitter, which was not down, so I realized it was my problem.

    It looks at when you use the wired connection THAT DNS has failed.

    In order to clarify the names of web sites means absolutely nothing to a computer in itself, www.google.com is completely useless. All comms on a network revolves around the IP addresses and the DNS service is a process by which the dedicated servers which addresses are known can tell your PC what is the address of a Web site. For some reason any on the wired connection your PC isn't getting the address to soundcloud.com.

    In family situations more of a PC it gets the IP of the router settings, of course I don't know if this is true in your case. If you open a command prompt and run ipconfig/all, paste the result here and we can check. This would include which server DNS to use that, as I said is normally the router. There are actually millions of internet addresses, and your router could not store them to remedy this it forwards a request for an address of DNS servers listed in its own configuration of IP internet side.

    If you can connect to the router and look its DSL or WAN configuration, you should find at least one or two DNS servers. Take note of them. If you can't connect to the router then look at the website from your ISP for their parameters.

    On your computer, go to the network control and Internet\Network connections, right-click on your wired card, and select Properties. Double-click Internet version 4 Protocol. In normal use get it 2... buttons should be selected, are they?

    If you change only the down one to use the following DNS server address and enter the fields, addresses that you got the router. Click OK twice, but leave the window network connections open as you need.

    Now, try to get your site into a problem. If you can then the problem is with your router. Instead of asking the router address you have bypassed this stage and went on the server, your router is configured to use.

    If you are still unable to the site then the problem is further down and your router may be OK. Then go back to where you set the addresses DNS and replace those that you got the router and turnkey 8.8.8.8 primary DNS server address and 8.8.4.4 in another address, OK once again two times and then try again the site. These 2 addresses are own Google public DNS servers and should work.

    If the ISP provided the router they should replace it. Explain what is the problem and the results of these tests, although I have no doubt that they insist on their own checks before accepting.

    Hello

    You only need to connect onve, and then you meet the demand.

    I ran twice and I can't logically explain why it occurs.

    On first installation I finally have the PC connected directly to the cable modem, after disabling the firewall software.

    It took about 6 hours with Kapersky to ensure that he did not get infected. It was a friends DM 4.5

    The second was total frustration with version 4.7. On my network.

    I, like you, have the routers and firewalls in front of the cable router if I had a packet sniffer, it would have been easier to trace.

    I reasoned that the PC and applications like explore and Outlook can access internet with out fail.

    I then followed the gateway IP address for my PC.

    In Windows click on start, then run, then type 'cmd' and press ENTER to open a DOS window.
    -In this window type "ipconfig" and press ENTER.
    -L' display the IP Ethernet the subpattern options, etc..  'Default gateway' is what you need.

    -Copy the IP address of the default gateway.

    Then, I started the Blackberry device manager and open the properties Blackberry icon in the systray.

    I was trying to see if I could find what the Office Manager was trying to access, or at least which way he wanted to.

    I found the Blackberry router configuration tab. Click at the bottom right "activate the bindings defined by the user.

    So basically, you can provide a route to bypass "static route. I entered my gateway address default PC, hit apply and OK.

    I did a cold start system, began the DM and he never moans, simply press on the internet and I couldn't access to the

    synchronization options. It worked without changing the settings of firewall or a router. I deliberately left it in place that that

    Gateway IP worked for another program on my PC. (I have mu PC configuration to device on the home network.

    After constant running for a few weeks, I went and deleted the bypass address. 4.7 installation has yet to miss a

    Beat.

    Well, I broke probably 87 regulations of the FCC, all agreements of the RIM, but it worked for me. !

    If I'm not here tomorrow have a drin for me at the party!

    I just installed the 5.0 Desktop Manager and never had the problem.

    So, basically, it's your call!

    The worst that can happen is it doesn't work and close down more away, the best that happens is that you logged.

    I recommend you do a program of "sniffer". This is the one suggested by Blackberry in the KB article

    (Packet capture tool (for example, Wireshark®))

    Let us know what you think.

    Another way to handle that would be via Open Office or free agency; both are open source (free) that allows to display files XLS (Excel) , and both programs have a Mozilla browser plugin to allow Firefox to open the 'Calc' of these programs.

  • another computer on your network is using your computer - Hack suspicion - ip address through DHCP lease renewal. Help, please

    Hello fellow Mac users...

    Today, while using, Firefox A message appeared on my screen: another computer on your network is using the ip address of your computer.

    Now, I am 100% sure that my phone was turned off when it happened. And I have a password on my wifi connection.

    I panicked because no one should have access to my network or my IP address. Immediately, I turned off my modem and turned off the wifi on my mac.

    Later, I went to renew the DHCP lease.

    My question is this:

    Could it be, in theory, based on the message system I (another computer on your network is using the ip address of your computer) the IP address was stolen (for lack of a better word) by a remote user, which is not in my physical neighborhood that is resident in another city or even country?

    If so, then I did the right thing by closing my Modem? And later on the DHCP lease renewal? About 20-30 minutes past until what I actually renewed the DHCP lease. It, in theory, could have too late to do (assuming that a malicious user has chosen to masquerade himself with my IP address)?

    Thank you all very much!
