• How to configure a direct cable connection between two computers in Windows 7

  Hello

  I'm trying to set up a connection by serial cable with serial cable RS232 DB9 female-female between 2 PCs, one with Windows 7 and Windows 8.
  
  For the initial check of the cable, I used a terminal program such as HyperTerminal, PuTTY, RealTerm. But none of the PC was able to read/write data from the port. I shorted her transmit and receive pins (2 & 3) at one end with a jumper (PIN stapler) for a loop to return the data to the Terminal. Terminal exits each letter typed twice, that is to say the cable and the COM port works correctly for two computers. But with 2 PCs connected, the Hyperterminal does not output nothing written of another PC Hyperterminal.
  Possible suspects: -.
  1. in the device-> PORTS (COM and LPT) Manager - there are 3 elements in both PC
  Communication Port (COM1), Communications Port (COM2), the Printer Port (LPT1).
  while I plug / unplug the cable at the PC, nothing changes in this section.
  2. the drivers for this type of cable to not installed.
  3. different OS installed on the PC.
  4 or I have to create a new connection , and then connect directly to another computer as mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305621/en-us . But I didn't know how to do these steps in Windows 7/8.
  Any idea about this problem is appreciated.

  The problem is your trying to use both ports 'exit' to connect two computers / never going to work.

  VGA ports are for v's t. 'If' they are able to c.p.. otherwise, you will need to use a HDMI to the TV which is also an exit from the c.p.

  If you notice your computer and your monitor using a DVI port connection not a VGA.

  And no you can not use a DVI cable either :)

• How to stop the connectivity between two computers that use the same IP address... ?

  Today, I managed to connect two computers with the same IP address. But now it is to be feared. for example, a person can access my computers using my IP and MAC address. So now, how can I stop the connectivity between these two computers. should what setting I use to stop.

  Tahnks.

  Hello

  1 have. what measures you taken to connect 2 computers with the same IP address?

  2. How are the 2 computers connected?

  3. how exactly you want to stop the connectivity between 2 computers?

  I want to tell you that 2 computers on the same network cannot have the same address. Each machine must have a unique address to identify it. A private network, as a home network connected to the internet, can be connected to a router to connect to the network, will have only 1 address, public IP address.

  In addition, if we know the IP address of a computer along the user ID and password, we can access the computer/shared files.

   
  If you are referring to the change of the IP address of the two computers, you can follow these steps and check.
   
  a. network connections open. Click the Start button, and then click Control Panel. In the search box, type 'adapter' and then, under center network and sharing, click view network connections.
  b. right click on the connection you want to change. Click on properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  c. click on the network tab. Under this connection uses the following items, click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), and then click the properties button. To specify your IP for IPv4, click on use the following IP address, and then, at the address IP, subnet mask, and gateway boxes by default, type IP address settings.
   
  A typical IPv4 address looks like 192.168.0.2; a typical subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The default gateway is usually the address of your router.
  For example, IP address: 192.168.0.2 by 192.168.0.12 (for computers)
  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
  DNS: 192.168.0.1

• is it possible to establish a direct connection between two computers, one running on windows xp sp2 and other running on windows xp sp3?

  Hello
  I connected two computers, one running on windows xp sp2 and others running on windows xp sp3 via com using RS232 port via link Modem DFM-562E ++.
  I am able to dial numbers from a PC successfully.
  But when I do a direct link between them (one as a host, the other guest) through the com port, I get error 777.
  Is this because the two PC's using different service packs?
  Help, please.
  Thank you & best regards
  Ravi

  It is not the service pack - although you should have installed sp3 now.

  Your message is not clear: have you been able to connect successfully computers using your modem D-Link?  How did you do that?  Will there be a modem in the second computer?

  What cable are you using to establish a direct connection between the com ports on both computers?  If you have purchased this cable online, please provide a link to the site where you bought it.

  Please describe the physical connection between the two computers.  For example, this is how you connect to the Internet by dial-up services:

  computer 1-{(9 broches) RS-232 serial port}-{RS-232 cable supplied with the modem}-{modem}-{phone cord (RJ-11 modular plugs at each end)}-{telephone wall jack}

  Hi Zeff,

  You can make Windows 7 the main computer for internet connection and then host the Windows XP computer.

  For more information, see the article:

  Start here to set up a home network in Windows 7

  Networking of computers running different versions of Windows

  With respect to the equipment as a router, hub, NIC depend on the connection (wired or wireless) you want to use. You can also check with the ISP (Internet Service Provider) for more information.

  For more information, see the articles:

  What do I need to connect to the Internet?

  Setting up a network home

  Wired and wireless connections have great benefits, but they have also some disadvantages.

  Wired connection:

  > Faster and more robust than wireless connections but not so flexible when positioning of computers and devices because you must be connected to your Super Hub with an Ethernet cable.

  > Safer than wireless connections, but not so convenient for users of laptops and other mobile devices.

  WiFi connection:

  > Wireless! If you can connect when you want. However performance may be affected by walls, electric interference etc.

  > Ideal for users of laptops and other mobile devices, you can connect devices more but slower than wired connections

  > Very safe when used with higher level (WPA) encryption. You can connect your smart phone to your network wirelessly for faster browsing.

  However, unauthorized users could try to use your connection (which explains why security is so important).

  There are two types of IP addresses. external and internal. Both computers have the same external IP address but separate internal IP addresses. Each device in your network will have its own (internal) IP address. The external IP address, who sees the Internet is actually assigned to your router.

  Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

• Share Internet connection between two computers

  I have a laptop running Windows Vista Ultimate 32 - bit and a desktop computer running Windows XP Professional 32-bit. Both have the latest service packs. The laptop is connected to my WiFi and I need to share it via ethernet. I could just use Connectify but I don't feel like it. What is the best way to share?

  If the office is not close enough to get a cable (or you don't want to drill through walls), buy a wifi USB adapter for the office.

  If it is close enough to run a cable but the whole of the Ethernet ports on the router are used, buy an inexpensive Ethernet switch.

• I need help to solve a problem I'm having with an installatiion of set-up/repair Windows XP Home Edition service pack 3

  I have 2 computers running Windows Xp Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3.  I tried to run a set-up/repair on one of them.  He loaded the files and went back to the stage of the installation.  He said at this point, it takes the file 'ASMS' of the S3CD.
  I copied the ASMS from the other computer files on my USB but the computer being the establishment does not recognize them.  The program disks that I bought with the computers at the same time say XP Home Editiion 2002 version, but nothing about service pack 3.

  What I need to know is if sp3 is the same for the home edition as it is for regular XP and is different ASMS files in the installation of the sp3 that they are in the House editiion.  If I buy the sp3 disc or download these files I will be able to complete the installation of the set-up/repair on my computer or is there perhaps something wrong with the device causing it to do what he did.

  I am also curios - running installation of set-up/repair on this subject, I lost all my files or will they preserved when I've completed the process?  If I lost my files I before moving on to Windows 7 or any other OS that supports available further in the future?

  Any help/information will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  Hi RandyMeier,
   
  Service Pack 3 files will be different than the normal installation files.
   
  It would be useful to an original CD of Service Pack 3 for installation.
   
  There is an article that you can follow before that and check if it helps.
   
  "The file 'Asms' on the CD-ROM Windows XP Professional is needed" error message when you install Windows XP
   
  If you are using a clean installation process all files may be lost.
   
  In this scenario, you should consider the upgrade of the operating system Windows 7.

  Hello

  Maybe this can help.
  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

• "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.

  B. file/printer sharing of

  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:

  Set up Windows to automatically connect (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.
