Trying to replace a XP computer with another XP computer in a peer-to-peer network with two other computers.

Replace a XP computer with another XP computer in a peer-to-peer network with two other computers. became terribly frustrating. I spent a day and a half by train to get there. I know MS wants everyone to buy their new OS, but I can't afford it right now. In the meantime, I'm trying to add a computer to my existing peer-to-peer network. I have never had so much trouble. I can not get computers to eachother Duke on the network.

Over the past 3 years I have implemented each of the existing computers. I'm familiar with the silly quirks of this operating system (i.e. a few hours waiting see if eventually the computers will warm up to each other and decide to play nice together). All computers are able to connect to the internet through the same router connection, and I was able to get each of the computers to see one another, but not all, but none of the computers is to see the new computer. (The new computer is connected to ONE of the other computers, but stopped doing and do again it). Is there a simple step by step to do this? I don't care even if I can't not all computers on the network as a whole, I would like to just the computer I replace to see the computer I replace by in order to obtain the transferred files and get back to work.

I appreciate sincerely ANY help ANYONE can offer.

Hi okcbz,

  1. How many computers on the network?

I suggest you have a look at the following links in the article:

  • Network management problem, computer laptop Windows 7 will not find other computers on any network, however all other computers on the network can access Windows 7 laptop.

    Basically, the issue I'm having is that my laptop does not connect to any other computer to access the actions or other files.  Other computers on the network can access my computer laptop shares and files without any problems.  Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.

    What I tried:

    restarted
    uninstalling and reinstalling the files and printers, sharing maps and restart after completion
    all disabled firewall
    tried with IPv6 enabled and disabled without change, so it is currently enabled
    tried on a Wi - Fi and the differences are listed below in the section work (work is wireless)
    able to ping other comptuers
    access to other computers is permitted by other computers

    problem extends over several networks, IE I noticed it at home last night and the followed problem my laptop at work this morning.
    The problem is slightly different on the two sites.

    At home:
    I can see the other computers on the network, but I am unable to access it, even if I have permission, but other computers can access to my laptop.

    At work:
    Cannot even find other computers on the network but they can find and access my laptop.

    I have worked on this problem of non stop for several hours and did much more than what is said, but I am unable to remember everything.  I should have been taking notes: P

    Asked this question in the Windows 7 forum also because the problem was between windows 7 and Vista.

    Hello

    If it has started, you can try a system restore - an update "might" have caused the problem.

    1. try a system restore back to a point before that happened. And immediately thereafter enter
    Control Panel - Windows updates - top left settings and set it to download and informs you instead
    Automatic. Leave it until you are sure that everything is OK and then you can add them one at a time
    to troubleshoot BUT click right on and HIDE all the driver updates. Also stop at day of drivers like below
    and let this value - manually search for drivers when you think you need. (See how and why to)
    stop day of drivers below.)

    I had completely forgotten the system restore!  While looking into the system restore, I found that when I moved into my new House and has cable Internet installed, the cable technology installed a program of comcast on my computer.  This caused me to not be able to connect with other computers.  After rolling back to install it before it works!   Thank you.

  • How to replace the audio clip with each other instead of stack

    I'm editing a long track of narration in Audition, and I have to paste a small audio clip on narrative in several places.  I want the pasted clip to replace this part of the narrative, as it would in first.  What he does in hearing is battery clips, so if I choose narration for some reason, all the clips on the top of the narration are now moved behind her.  To get back them, I now spend the narration to an empty track clip, do the same with those who went behind and everything put back in the correct order.

    Is it possible to have the clip pasted to replace what you paste it above as it would in first?

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    No, unfortunately, if you work in multitrack view. An easy insertion function was requested to do exactly what you want but is not yet available.

    The simplest solution is to split the clip to where you want to insert the new plug. You can do this either by using the Razor tool or the shortcut Ctrl-K. Then when you place the new clip on top it will show melted shackled at both ends. If you select one of the parts of the original item, you can click on the edge and drag it to the appropriate end of the new clip (leaving a chained if you wish or not fade).

    I guess that it is a wireless computer.
    ------------------------------------

    Maybe this can help.

    Assuming that the signal is strong, and that there is no noise in the electrical environment (http://www.ezlan.net/wbars.html ).

    Uncheck the box to the NIC of energy economy (I.e., do not leave the card save energy).

    There may be some variations on where is the energy saving setting.

    Here are a few examples, YMMV, look around your systems.

    Check the support site for the manufacturer of the computer and make sure that you use the latest drivers.

    If the support site has a newer version of the drivers and installed current ask drivers the most up-to-date drivers use this method.

    Download the drivers and extract them to a folder of your choice.

    In Device Manager, right-click on the adapter.

    Click Update drivers and choose her browse my computer for drivers.

    Choose let me a list of choices, click on disk and point to the folder with the drivers.

  • ACS same username with two other group, two profiles of shell

    Hello

    In my ACS 5.4 I want to have same useranme using two profiles of shell. This is the requirement.

    Profile of a shell with privileges for admin peripheral IOS 15 and another with different privilege admin WCS. Because there may be two profiles of shell on the same profile authroization, I created two different profiles and correspondence with the name of the local group of ACS. However, whenever the user tries to access it always hits 1 profiles.

    I'm not sure that I missing something, if someone has or knows how to do this please advise.

    Thank you

    Hello

    What you can do is to create two authorization rules based on the ip address.

    Use two rules:

    rule 1: If the ip address is wcs ip address then use WCS-Shell-profile

    rul3 2: If the ip address of the device do not match the wcs ip address then use: other-Shell-profile

    If you don't see the ip address in the rule options, you can always customize what options you want to compare from the button customize at the bottom right of the page.

  • Problems with HP4620 not working only not with the other computers in the House

    I bought a HP 4620 for my house and it works very well with my Vista laptop wireless.  However, it does not show as an option for our office or our second laptop.  Any ideas?

    Thanks, Sunny12

    Hello sunny

    I was going through your posts and help you've been putting online...

    Answered by Mr. Aneesh, pilots refers to the software that we are supposed to install in the computer.  Thus, these drivers are available on the CD that you have with your printer...

    Now, as you begin to install, you will get the screens user friendly and just follow the instructions and proceed with the installation.

    The system, that is to say; the monitor (computers) will ask you how you are going to connect the printer to the computer...

    Thus, there are 2 methods by which you can connect your printer to the computer...

    (1) USB - this is a cable that you find in the box the printer, but you would have to buy separately.  so, if you do not, please get one of the stores.

    (2) wireless - in this type of connectivity, you do not need the USB cable, because you would then have a device called a 'router '...  And here... It is the router that establishes the communication between the computer and the printer.

    Please try the following and if you get stuck, let us know.

    Kind regards

    Ashokkan.

  • Try to plug it into the router which is already installed and running with the other computers in the House.

    My computer says "Windows cannot find the certificate to connect to the network."  This computer is working - and an administrator.  This person could not help me.  Hope someone here can...

    The 'certificate' this computer is looking for is something that is used in networks wireless business and almost never in home wireless networks.

    The following assumes that you have given to your home network wireless (SSID of the router) "name" which is recognizable as yours and different from the network name to your work.

    The following also assumes that you are using Windows XP service pack 3 and you use to control your wireless Windows Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) adapter.

    If none of these assumptions are not correct, provide the relevant information.

    If all of the above assumptions are correct, then

    • Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
    • Right-click on the icon for your wireless adapter and select Properties
    • Click the "Wireless Networks" tab.  This is where you confirm that "Use Windows to configure my wireless network" is checked. If it is not checked, stop here - you need to identify the utility that controls your wireless adapter before continuing. a good place to look is the icons in the Notification area (next to the time display)
    • Select your network (SSID of your router) from the list of "Preferred networks", and then click Properties
    • Click on the "Authentication" tab and uncheck the box for "enable authentication IEEE 802. 1 x for this network. "
    • OK your way out.

    If "allow authentication IEEE 802. 1 x for this network"is checked, but grayed out, so you can't change it, click 'Cancel' to return to the"Wireless Networks"tab and"Remove"the entry of your router.  Then click on "View Wireless Networks", select your router, click Connect and enter your password when you are prompted.

  • I would like to know how to scan my computer to see if my boyfriend had our two laptop computers secretly connected so that it can monitor me remotely

    It has installed 2 drivers wireless separated when we went to windows 7 tent still failure to upgrade me to windows XP, Vista, now all three operating systems are on my lap top. When we went to the high grade that I wanted to pour what I felt I could just learn everything if I did on mine, when he checked the drivers there were GOBS of drivers intell temporary, while it just started clicking on buttons & partitioned the computer once more. I think that one of the drivers it can control remotely. I had my screen change "all by themselves -" I have search, and I wonder if it is possible that his phone Samsung for a remote view in my lap top so where & how should I go see?

    If you have a retail DVD of Windows 7 and you want to clean up all (or do not care if you do), why not go ahead and do your own clean install of Windows 7 (assuming that your laptop can support Windows 7)?  See http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html

    You have to collect the drivers before you start.  Visit the website of the manufacturer of your laptop and search using your serial number (if you have one).

    This article is for Dell computers, but it gives you an idea of the drivers you need and the order in which you should install them. Of course, if you do not have a Dell PC, you would skip things like items 1, 8 and 9.

    If this guy is still your boyfriend and has physical access to your computer, you should treat your question socially rather than technically.

  • How can I replace my 2008 TC with a 2016 news?

    Use the old 500 GB TC since LAN with two laptop computers and two AP Express as Extender.

    Just bought a 2 to TC to replace the 500 GB TC.

    Some critics of the new TC reviews say just turn on the new TC and it copies the settings from the old TC and off you go. I think the steps are left out of this process.

    First question, is the new TC turned on when the old TC is turned on and connected to a cable modem or vice versa?

    Second question, how to use the AP utility to facilitate this? I want to continue to use extenders of MONKEY.

    I will also need to set up Time Machine, but I can handle it once the new TC is the host of the local network.

    Thank you;

    Let the old TC in walking normally on your network.

    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the <>- on the old TC LAN ports to the "O" on the new TC WAN port

    Turn on the new TC and let it run a few minutes

    Click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen on your Mac and are looking for a list of the new AirPort base station

    Just below that, click on the Time Capsule.  The example below shows an AirPort Extreme as the new Base Station, but on your screen, you will see the Time Capsule

    When you click Time Capsule, which will get the 'Assistant' Installation running.  It will take a few seconds to analyze things and offer a Setup program based on what it "sees".

    The Wizard usually guesses correctly, but in this case, it will guess wrong, because the installer suggested using the new TC to extend the network will not be the configuration that you want.  The example below shows an AirPort Express, but you will see the new time Capsule on your screen with the old TC.

    Click the other Options in the lower left corner of the window

    Select the option replace an existing device and click Next

    The next window will ask you to confirm what product you want to replace and explain the parameters of the old TC will be transferred to the new TC. When this happens, the old TC will automatically reset back to default settings.

    Once the installation process completed, powering down of the entire network and replace the old with the new TC TC, using the same hook ups.

    Turn on the modem first and let it run for a few minutes

    Start the next device connected to a modem and let it run for a minute

    Keep a minute out one at a time until the entire network is back of boot devices

    With luck, everything will work the way it was before

    You need to configure Time Machine to revisit the new TC.

    After doing this several times, I am not convinced that the process of 'Replace' is just as easy and faster than the simple implementation the new TC as a new device and simply using the same wireless name, same of passwords, etc. as the old TC.  But, users appear to want to use replace it option rather than doing things manually.

    It's your call. Good luck!

  • Apple TV 4 cannot be used simultaneously with the other Apple TV

    We have just added a 4 AppleTV to our collection of the 2nd and 3rd generation AppleTV (all run wifi that we're not wired Ethernet in the House). For the first week or so it was no problem to start the 4 AppleTV and one of the other two, but since yesterday on the AppleTV 2nd generation (just to set market and access to iTunes or my library, not really look anything like that) not only causes the AppleTV 4 deadly freeze, but I end up having to restart the modem and the router with the computer (note that) (, meanwhile, the AppleTV 2 seems to work but I get annoyed at to get the 4 works again and just had to turn off so I don't know how stable, it has been). I have a modem/router Netgear of Cox (even when the AppleTV 4 wasn't running, SpeedTest has returned a normal wifi speed) I only use as a modem and a Terminal Airport Express as my wifi router. My operating system in Windows 10. Nothing updated (other than the Synaptics touchpad software) between when he was working Friday and when he decided to stop playing at the same time on Saturday. Once the computer, the AppleTV 4, the router and the modem has restarted, I once more have access to my iTunes to the AppleTV library and play something.

    I still have intermittent problems where the AppleTV 2 and 3 suddenly decide that they cannot see my library and I have to restart iTunes (which is completely unrelated to the current issue and I'm sure function of the way that Windows treats Hello), but in the case of the AppleTV 4 trying to run at the same time as the AppleTV 2 restart iTunes does nothing. Even with completely disconnected the AppleTV 2, restart iTunes (and even the computer) and restart the AppleTV 4 I'm not even to mirror content access purchases through the iTunes store or iTunes on Windows to the AppleTV, so my conclusion that I had to reboot the router and the modem, which was the only way to return the feature.

    At one point we tried to replace the AppleTV 4 with 3, and he was unable to work as the AppleTV 2 and these two have been exploited in tandem for about 3 years now generally without interference other than a problem when we suddenly decides that he cannot see my sharing even if the other is played.

    If someone has any ideas as to why I am suddenly unable to run two AppleTV at the same time, I would like to know. I don't have time to get into it tonight we try to watch a movie, but I think to restore the AppleTV 4 factory settings and see if that solves this problem. I'm also fooling around with the configuration of the 3 units when I have the House to myself and are not trying to keep anyone entertained. I'll post back tomorrow if I can get 2 & 3 or 3 & 4 at the same time. I hope I get lucky and be able to operate in any combination again.

    Just a quick suggestion. Have you given different names mountain BIKING? Apple protocols for colocation and AirPlay are based on these names and get confused if devices with different IPs claim the same name.
