  • Cannot transfer files between multiple PCs.

    I have 4 PCs; One with Windows 7, two with Windows Vista and one with XP.  I want to be able to transfer files between all four of the PC.  90% of the time, the Windows 7 and Vista systems cannot see the XP system in their network lists in the file Explorer.  Very frustrating.  All the PCs are in the same workgroup.  All have their hard drive to allow others to share and change the permissions.  I is almost as if mother Microsoft won't allow that to happen.  GRRRR

    Hello

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products on machines do you have? Be one you have NEVER
    had on them, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    Some of them can cause network problems and sometimes you need to uninstall one instead of just disable
    be able to catch him as the primary cause.

    ---------------------------------------

    Check with your router manufacturer's online help (most have excellent help) and their firmware on your router
    model - also check with their forums for possible known problems.

    ---------------------------------------

    Most of these problems is associated parameters and driver. Be careful with trailing spaces when you enter in the
    data. XXXX and xxxx_ are not the same (where the '_' represents a trailing space which is invisible). The best
    way you ensure to remove the spaces to the right is to enter data and then go back up to the last character. See #5
    below.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Follow these steps for all machines:

    It's my generic instructions for the correct driver updates: (you want mainly to update NETWORK and WiFi card drivers).

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones

    The bases for troubleshooting are:

    2 make sure you have the same mask subnet, gateway, and DNS IP addresses.

    3. make sure you can ping the IP address of the other computer. Failure, just to test, make sure that you disable XP as well as any other firewall.

    4. make sure that you can test other computers by name.

    5. make sure that you have the same workgroup name (note the spaces)

    6. for purposes of troubleshooting, turn off XP and completely uninstall any other firewall software. You can always add more complexity once get you it working.

  • Trying to transfer files from an internal hard drive outside under XP

    I tried to transfer files and settings from hard drive to external hard drive.  The transfer seems to take place but the hard drive is always too full.  Please notify.

    Your question is vague, as others have mentioned.

    If you try to transfer a very large file (over 4 GB) and receive a message that there are not enough space on the external hard drive even if the external hard drive seems to have a lot of room, the reason is probably that your external drive is formatted using the FAT32 file system.  If you need help with this problem, please specify your original question.  Be sure to include the exact text of any error message, without paraphrasing.

    Do NOT format your external drive if there is already data on this topic.

  • How to copy files between computers on the LAN

    I have a wireless network at home. How can I copy files between computers?

    You have access to the files on each computer in the another computer - can you open and read them?  In other words, the network connection is working properly and you have the permissions of files and folders?  If this isn't the case, after return and we will address this as a separate issue.

    If so all you need to do is open Exploere Windows on a machine, and map a drive to the C:\ drive on the other machine.  Here's how to map a drive to another computer: http://www.vista4beginners.com/Map-Network-Drive.  You "got to do thi on the other machine if you want to share files in the two directios.

    Once done, open Windows Explorer and go to the drive where, the file to be copied, right-click on it and select copy.  Then go back to Homepage Windows computer and select the drive where you want to copy the file (in this case, the mapped network drive).  Go whenever you want to copy and click the folder where you want that he stored and right-click and select Paste.  The file will be copied.  That's all there is to it.  Once the mapped drives copy really works exactly as it does if you have just one computer that you are handling.

    I hope this helps.

    Me too, I unfortunately have the same problem.

    Installed a replacement wifi router and lost access to a NAS. And it is the only element that would not be re - connect...

    It's the config probably simple setting of the wireless router with the IP Address of the NAS (10.1.10.199 if this is of any help), but it's clearly a mystery to find useful info on how and what to configure...

    Unfortunately, it was easier under XP...

  • 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.

  • Order the sharing of files between computers

    I have two Windows XP computers: one with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and the other with Windows XP Professional SP3. I want to share files between them, but the one with Pro is too far from the router. I have only one ethernet cable to reach between the two. Is there a way to relate to each other with the cable and to share files between them.

    I really want to drill holes in the ground, and the computer is in my garage, not in the House, so it's too far. And the WiFi signal reached until now. Is there anything else I can try? I don't want to buy a flash drive since I never use them.

    You dismissed almost all the options.

    Given preferences, but assuming your House and garage to receive electric service through the same electric meter (in other words, you don't have two separate service accounts), then the most likely solution for you is "network".

    Basically, powerline network using adapters that transmit packets lines of power supply to your home network.  You plug an adapter into the wall power outlet at each location and then run an Ethernet cable from the adapter to the computer.

    Some adapters have opportunities for wifi, but also an Ethernet connection.  Some cards have only one Ethernet port, while others may have multiple ports.

    There are several standards, my understanding is that currently, the most common standard for network home powerline HomePlug AV (sometimes called AV1).

    Examples of material: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100008201&IsNodeId=1&Description=powerline%20network&name=Powerline%20Networking&Order=BESTMATCH I suggest you at least read some of the comments.

  • The fastest way to transfer files between servers...

    I have a question regarding what would be the best option to accelerate the transfer of files between 2 servers to our VMware environment. We plan to spend our GroupWise email from netware to windows and upgrade to Groupwise (v7 to v8) at the same time. We will anticipate moving about ~ 125 gigabytes of data (files ~ 517 000) and expect that it will take several hours. We would like to minimize this time better we can so we wonder what would be the best configuration of things to get there? Two virtual machines on the same host? Two virtual machines on the data store even? On different hosts, or data warehouses? Our configurations are listed below:

    -In the course of running vSphere 4.1 ESXi

    -Data stored on 2 Dell Equalogic 5500 without

    -SAN one in each of the 2 sites, physically about 3 miles away

    -3 guests, 2 to a location and 1 in the other (same places the San)

    -Transfer of data from Netware 6.5 source, destination will be Windows 2008 R2 DataCenter

    -Links gigabit between all the elements of our VMware environment, including the link between the sites (on optical fiber).

    -3 guests are able to run all our virtual machines without overloading, so if we go to the virtual computer to another host, it is not a problem.

    We would like to know what is the best way to put everything in place for the transfer, so that we can prepare before hand. Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, the fastest way would be to offload the clone/copy to the San operation. If your configuration supports VAAI then the clone would happen completely on the SAN by assuming that the source and destination storage device is the same SAN. Would it be different San then the network factors in anything. For what is running on the same host, which would be beneficial for cloning a virtual machine (mainly memory footprint) should not take place on the network.

    I hope this helps!

  • Sharing files between computers win7

    I have 3 computers. All with win7 home premium. A few days ago, I added 2 HD 1.5 TB to my MAIN computer and set up a main data HD and one HD for the back upward. the original HD is home to the operating system. I've set up the sharing and started to load the folder of my other computers to the new MAINDATA of my MAIN computer drive. Everything worked well for 10 hours I spent moving files. I stop all computers for a few days. Then I started all 3 computers and it would be completed moving files. The MAIN computer works fine, however, the other 2 computers show a RED 'X' by the player on the MAIN computer. I went to the main computer and tried to find out if a session is running. Not running the session. I ping the MAIN computer on the other 2 computers. They both recognized the MAIN computer. I can't read the main computer. What can I do to solve the problem?
