Unable to join a homegroup Windows 7 with a network that spans a wireless bridge

• Unable to join the homegroup on new Inspiron 15 5559

  I had a residential group put in place for a good while on 3 computers desktop and an old Tower, but my new laptop Dell Inspiron 15 5559 with 10 Windows fails to reach.  I get to the point of putting in the right password and clicking NEXT, then the bar keeps of moving from left to right for several minutes, then stops without any messages and not to join.

  Here are the details.  Computer of One Office (a Dell Inspiron 630 with Windows 7 Pro), a former HP with Windows Pro 10 office, an old house built office with Windows 10 Pro (64-bit), and an old Toshiba laptop with 64 bit Windows 7 Home.  All these joined the homegroup very well.  In addition to the homegroup, I have the file & printer sharing power with 4 of them.  On the Dell desktop computer, I have 9 folders and two shared printers.  The new laptop Dell can access shared folders, it is just unable to join the homegroup.  I created the homegroup because I had problems to access 2 shared printers (a Canon IP1600 inkjet and laser Samsung ML-2525) with 10 windows, in case you're wondering why I'm not just with the file & printer sharing instead of homegroup.

  In any case the key is that everything on this new Dell laptop works fine except that I can not join the homegroup, and I'm very curious as to why not.  I did full virus scans with Defender and Norton 360 and have done two scans with MalwareBytes, but no malware has been found.  I also ran "SFC/scannow" and it found no problem either.  I checked to make sure that I put in the security key for the homegroup, and at this point, I am triple ideas.  It please does not restore to the factory settings, because I had this problem since the first day that I got this laptop out of the box before I did any customization. FWIW, I'm no novice in computer science.

  What suggest you?  TIA

  Yesterday I posted a note that I would have found and solved the problem.  I don't know what happened to this post.  The problem was that there was a popup that was actually a pop-under hidden behind a number of open windows.  He said that there was an invalid password.  Of course the note that I had used to set up 4 PCs had a "n" where there is now a "m".  I would like to say that this has changed from n to m somehow otherwise I don't know how I was able to put in place the other 4 PCs.  Anyhoo, the problem is now resolved.

• Unable to join the homegroup - when you attempt to join I get this message: cannot create a homegroup on this computer

  I tried all the suggested 'fixes' and am still unable to join. My network has worked well until I installed W7. I can create a homegroup on any computer (I have 4 on the network), but no other computers can join. All I get when you are trying to reach is "impossible to create a homegroup on this computer". It is a problen very common, judging from all the complaints I've seen on the forums. With no exaggeration, there are thousands of people are unable to use this 'easy '... home network Please don't tell me to disable my firewall or computer time sync or one of the other "fixes" that do not help.

  Hello

  Since you're so desperate, you can configure the network to the office network.

  It's a little more work than the collective dwelling, but the results are more flexible.

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

  Here you have the whole story because what Win 7 can make wise network.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Homegroup = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Network of home or work = fundamentally similar (and better) to the previous methods of theWorking Group sharing which allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

  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.html#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 you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

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

  If your network consists only of Win 7 and you want a simple network, use it.

  The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

  When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

  * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

  ** Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall computers that they are allowed to connect to.

  Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

• Unable to join the computer Windows 7 the Windows Server 2008 R2 domain

  I'm at a complete loss here. I don't know if its something to do with this specific machine, or if something has changed on the side things server.

  A little history:

  I have joined two other machines to the domain about 3 weeks.

  Meanwhile, a machine has been infected by a ransomware. We completely removed all traces of infection of the machine network drives and mapped the proxy infected. The infected machine is used as a pointer for direct research. Could something have changed within the machine itself? Should I remove it?

  We have restored the mapped via a stored backup files.

  I do not know if somehow widespread infection among the mapped drives to records of service on the server itself change something along the way.

  Help would be greatly appreciated.

• Unable to connect to Homegroup Windows 7 between the Modem to the PC and the Modem to the router for PC users.

  I want to talk about WIRED computers, do not speak of wireless.

  I have 3 PC:

  -2 are connected via Modem directly to the PC.

  -1 is connected through router, and the router is connected to the modem.

  The problem, this is it, it cannot detect the homegroup that I created on the computer that is directly connected by modem.

  The 2 PC via modem are perfectly detected and connected to the homegroup, so I want to know what I would do to another PC (which is connected to the router via modem) detects the homegroup, I had already created?

  Help, please.

  A Modem can have only two ports, connect to the internet (Wide Area Network) and the second to a SINGLE local device. In most cases the internet Service Pwill provide with only an IP address so itself cannot connect to more than one at a time. In current solutions, it is very rare for a Modem to use. If as you say, you have several devices connected to this unit then he himself is a router but possibly with the Modem built in if you have ADSL ISP.

  If your second unit is also a router then that explains why you cannot connect all devices in the same residential group.

  Router 1 has created a Local Area Network including both PC and the WAN port on the Router 2. Router 2 has created another independent local network with the 3rd PC. It is very likely that the two local networks will be IPv4 and traffic can be routed between them correctly in both directions according to the two local networks subnet ranges.

  Even if they are properly configured to allow traffic that HomeGroup requires IPv6 that some home routers support fully and every Member of the residential group must be on the same LAN anyway, he will not support a routed connection.

  Remove the 3rd PC of the 2nd router and plug it into the direct 1 router, remove the router 2nd the 1st in order to free the port. 3 all PCs are now on the same local network and communicate both IPv4 and IPv6, and homegroup should work.

  If you need additional ports provided by the 2nd router for other devices is not part of this problem then consider replacing it with a switch. If you use Router 2 for other devices Wi - Fi irrelevant then you need a wireless access Point.

• Pavilion dm4 - 1201us: upgrade to Windows 10 with a computer that refuses to install Windows 7 SP1

  I would like to be able to update my old laptop W7 with W10, however, I am unable to do so, due to the fact that after replacing the hard drive, then allowing a 'grumpy' friend to manage the installation of the OS, I'm unable to install SP1 that is required for the free update.

  Any help?

  Other information: the laptop came originally with "Windows 7 Home Prem OA" but is now underway "Windows 7 Unlimate" and I have no recovery disk for the original W7 supplied with the machine.

  EDIT: Also, when I run Windows Update, SP1 or in a separate file, I get the same error. Here is a picture of the error of the SP1 folder.

  

  Unfortunately, it seems that your hacker friend installed an improved version of Windows 7 and now it is not authentic so it will not be updated.

  You can try the suggestions in this post from TechNet and see if you can correct it. I used your error message to find this info.

  If you are not successful this, then you should contact HP to get reinstall disks so that you can install the version of Windows 7 OEM. You will have to do all the updates, but it should be able to do.

  Unless you have an email or a packaging of retail with an improved version of Windows and a key, you will encounter this kind of problem. The version of your operating system must match the key you have.

  Hello

  I access the internet via a Wi-Fi provided by the Marina. I always get a warnging go Explorer that this is not a secure connection and he advises me not to continue on the site (connection page). I continue to the website anyway because I want to access the Internet.

  Whenever I choose to download an update to windows defender I have problems with my phone network and magicJack. Why? don't advocate network control? How can I get updates without defender ruin my internet access?

• Flexible Windows 7 with NIC network problems

  Hello

  I'm having a hard time to set up a Win 7 32 bit VM in lab manager v4.0.2. The virtual computer network cards are identified as 'Flexible' in customer vShpere. Windows itself is not looking for the drivers even after installing the VM tools. If I remove the NETWORK card created by the laboratory Manager in vSphere client and create new as for example, e1000 then Windows allows to identify the NETWORK card but the new NETWORK adapter does not appear in the laboratory Manager. This is why I can't manipulate the network cards.

  I am lookig for a way to change the default NETWORK adapter in the laboratory Manager.

  Thank you in advance.

  Here's an update: I decided to edit the VMX VM template file directly to change the type of network adapter.  I added the line "ethernet0.virtualDev ="e1000"" at the end of the file and saved the changes. ".  After that, I could transfer the virtual machine, turn it on and saw that Windows 7 is installed to automatically correct for pilots.  I didn't cancel the model and published it yet, so I'll report more later to let you know how it goes.  I cross my fingers... It's probably a problem that VMware should take note of.

  Like I said, it could be any file requiring a restore of the system to access what has been its permissions modified by malware.  If I was at that time, I would declare my compromised machine and reinstall Windows completely.  If you are determined not to reinstall, you can use a tool such as Microsoft "Process Monitor" that will display all the queue access that occur when you run the program.  You may be able to locate the file that is being denied access, but you're going to be turning to sift through a large amount of data.

  Good luck and hope this helps.
