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

    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.

    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 .

  • Cannot join the homegroup to the second computer in the network.

    I've recently updated my desktop pc and laptop with windows 7.  The office is a s 530 Dell Inspiron and the laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15.  The Office has managed to create a homegroup in windows 7, but I can't get the laptop to join.  I ran the wizard of troubleshooting many times without success.  Sharing files between computers is available, I can't just join the homegroup.  I have read several forums about ipv6, and although it shows that IPv6 is enabled, the status shows no network access.  I tried to leave the homegroup, stop and begin another without success as well.  Router is a Belkin N1 Vision 802.11n.  I can follow directions very well, but I'm not a genius with this stuff.  If there is something that I should be more specific, please let me know.  I'm going crazy here.

    OK, that was my answer.  I have connected the laptop in the server and was immediately allowed to join the homegroup.  Once the initial installation has been made, I can now access homegroup wireless on the network without any problems.  I don't know why I had to connect using ethernet to set up.  New bug in the OS, I guess.  Thanks for the help.

  • px12-350r unable to join the domain - what now?

    Hi all!

    I hope you can give me some advice because at the moment I'm in a really silly situation, being probably locked out of my Iomega px12-350r.

    Here is what happened:

    * The device was successfully linked to my domain name Microsoft AD and worked with this config at least a year.

    * I expanded the storage matrix, 2 days adding 2 drives. Everything went well and the end of the expansion, the new total disk space is displayed correctly in the web administration interface.

    * After this, I restarted the device. After the reboot, I couldn't connect to the device more using my domain account. This account had administrative rights on the NAS and I connected on the NAS using this account before.

    * I don't alter the domain infrastructure.

    * I know that the device cannot join the domain more because I enabled e-mail notifications and he continues to send me "unable to join the domain".

    I have already tried:

    * Connection using the usual accounts: doesn't seem to work once the device is connected to a domain.

    * Connection via SSH. Does not work, probably for the same reason as above.

    I wasn't yet:

    * The user manual mentions reset the admin password by pressing the reset on the back button. But this will only reset config (I'd be okay with it), or it will erase the data on the drives as well?

    I'm from the Germany. Despite having purchased a service plan 24 x 7 hotline support German will only redirect me to the hotline American which claim to do only office, no SIN px12. I'm kinda in the middle of nowhere now. ;-)

    Thanks for your help!

    Best regards

    Florian

    Hi André,.

    I fixed it without reboot - by chance.

    In a desperate attempt, I tried to connect using the domain administrator account - and it worked! I don't remember giving any px12 admin permissions to this user and I certainly don't connect to the device using this user before. But the account has permissions to create computer accounts in the ad, and in the moment when I logged in the computer account of the AD px12 updated password.

    I tell myself that the px12 has used the account admin for re - joining the domain. From the web interface, I could now do a sync AD and after that, all users of domain reworked.

    So, if anyone has the same problem, try connecting the device with any account that has administrative rights on the whole of the field, even if you have not used the account on the device before. It can work for you, too.

    Local accounts still do not work. I think that if the device is connected to a domain and the domain link is broken permanently, so it's only the reset button.

    Andrew Merci for your support!

    Best regards

  • Cannot join the homegroup

    I have two computers windows 7. One is a desktop computer and one is a laptop. I have a printer connected to my desktop computer. I'm trying to implement a homegroup on my desktop, so I can print from the files from my laptop and my desktop on my laptop access.

    I use AT & T as ISP and received a 2WIRE router/gateway to AT & T (Uverse).

    I access Internet through a wired connection from my desktop to the router/gateway and I have access to the Internet via a wireless connection from my laptop to the router/gateway.

    I have the driver for my printer on both computers.

    I created a homegroup on my desktop computer. I have received and printed the password of the residential group created on the desktop.

    When I on my laptop, I don't get the screen asking to join the home group. The screen I received looks like the screen that allows me to create a home on my lap top group.

    I want the House Group to set up on my office and share with my laptop.

    I spent reviewing the documents on the Internet to diagnose the problem without success.

    I don't think that my lap top using the correct network to find the homegroup (just a guess). I need to be able to connect but computers to the Internet without degradation of the service.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Problems to join the homegroup.

    Hello, I installed windows 7 Professional on 2 PCs at my home. I need to work with the networking of the homegroup. I tried to create the network in both computers, but the other do not recognize when I try to join the homegroup. I tried solving the problems in both computers, but nothing happens. I changed the name of the Working Group, but the problem is still there. I tried everything I had read in the forums, but nothing happens. I would be happy if you could help me.

    Other things to try:

  • Two computers (Win7), a homegroup. Why second computer cannot join the homegroup?

    I have two new laptops, in the two running Win7.  Computer laptop 1 runs 64 bit.  Laptop 2 runs 32 bit.  CradlePoint router used to set up a network home.  Both computers show as being on the host of the CTR network.

    Set up a homegroup on 1 laptop.
    Laptop computer 2 "joined".  Laptop 2 could see and read the files from the laptop 1.  Computer laptop 1 could NOT see cell phone 2.

    Restart both computers.  Same problem (portable 2 is invisible for 1 laptop, if 1 cell is visible for laptop 2).

    Computer laptop 1 has left the homegroup, intending to join in an attempt to solve the problem.  Now, when 1 laptop computer attempts to join the network, the message is: "There are currently no homegroup on the network", with the offer of "create a homegroup."

    Laptop 2 shows that there is clearly a homegroup, and he joined.

    What should I do to join the existing laptop 1 to the homegroup?
    This could possibly be linked to the 64 bit OS?  Can't imagine it would, but I'm at a complete loss here!

  • Unable to join the domain on VM

    Hello - I just installed Workstation 12 on a machine and try to understand networking. We use the network configuration connection bridged, that seems to work for most. I give a static IP address to the virtual machine and am able to ping this IP from other computers, but I'm unable to join this virtual machine to the domain. All our DNS settings are configured correctly on the virtual computer. The error indicates it does not find our dns server when attempting to join the domain. What I'm missing here? Must the virtual machine use the host's IP as gateway or DNS? Shouldn't if we in bridged mode right?

    Thanks for any help!

    This has been resolved. I had to make the switch port that the host computer has been connected to a trunk instead of an access port port.

  • Unable to join the domain "DNS name does not exist."

    Working on this computer remotely in my company, it has more a problem but at this moment, that we focus on trying to reach the area. We removed everything first to see if it would fix the trust relationship issues she felt the long side not being able to browse the files all computer network or servers.
    When trying to join the field, that's what we get in the dcdiag.txt in the debug folder.
    The domain name 'xxxxx' can be a NetBIOS domain name.  If this is the case, check that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.
    If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.
    The following error occurred when DNS was questioned about the resource record (SRV) service location used to locate an Active Directory (AD DC) domain controller for the domain "xxxxx":
    The error was: "the DNS name does not exist."
    (0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR error code)
    The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.xxxxx
    Common causes of this error are:
    -The DNS SRV records to locate an AD DC for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records are automatically saved with a DNS server when an AD domain controller is added to a domain. They are updated by the AD DC at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses:
    198.6.1.5
    198.6.100.38
    -One or more of the following areas do not include delegation to its child zone:
    XXXXX
    . (the root zone)
    XXXXX = domain
    Also the listed IP addresses have been changed.

    I worked on this computer for about 2 days, and then the user is able to work remotely with a server terminal server, they will need access to the server later.

    Reset the network device - completely.  Uninstall the network driver and have someone there install the latest manufacturer.

    Manually enter the DNS information for the DNS servers of your company on the computer - even if it uses DHCP.

    Make sure that its time/time zone is the same as your DNS server.

    Reset all default HOSTS file.

    Ping the DNS server.

    When you join - use the FQDN (mycompany.local, etc..)

  • vMA unable to join the domain

    Hello


    I can't join the domain (windows-based).

    I want to join my vMA to the domain, but it is always the wrong password


    When I follow these steps on my vMA

    domainjoin-cli join < domain name > <-domain admin-user >


    He invites me authorization error so I tried with sudo


    VI-admin@VMA: sudo domainjoin-cli join < domain name > <-user-admin of the field: can I use to connect on my other computers >


    then he gives me a wrong password... my password is correct...

    I tried on two versions of vMA, 4.1 and 5.1/5.5

    any suggestions...

    Hey VirtualRay

    Your VMA has the same DNS settings in your area?

    So if you your vCenter Server ranging from ping vcenter01.mydomain.lan pings is returned correctly?

    If so, it should work

    1 from the vMA console, run the following command:

    sudo domainjoin-cli join

    2 when you are prompted, provide the password for the administrator of Active Directory.

    On successful authentication, the command adds vMA as a member of the domain. The command also adds entries in the file/etc/hosts with vmaHostname.domainname.

    3 restart vMA.

    Now you can add a target Active Directory at the VMAs. For the procedure to do this, see Add servers at VMAs targets.

    To check the settings of the domain of the vMA

    Since the vMA console, run the following command:

    sudo domainjoin-cli application

    The command displays the name of the domain for which vMA joined.

  • Unable to join the domain using customization comments vCD

    I have vCloud Director installed and running.  I created a vApp and edited the properties to allow customization of comments and more everything works so far but the computer will not join the domain.  I tried to use organization customization, as well as customize the TIME after deployment.  As soon as the server ends with the customization and is powered, I can log in and join the domain manually without any problem, I can't get comments customization to do that for me.   Its a Windows 2008 R2 server.  I found this entry at the end of the journal to customize-comments on the server:

    run the command netsh interface ip set dns 12 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx static (it has the correct address for my DNS server) =

    The command has been successfully run, the output of the command:

    The configured DNS server is incorrect or does not exist

    Any thoughts?

    It is a farily well known problem.  For a join of field works in vCloud Director, you must have on your DHCP subnet.  Many people make using the vShield edge device that is located on the network of the Org.  The sysprep process runs before tools VMware is running (which applies to the satic IP address to the client).  It's sort of a situation or hen that the guest has ip when in sysprep, so the easy solution to make it work is DHCP.  Conversely, people did it is in port, a lab post script custization in vCD Manager who entered the field after the sysprep is made completely and the guest it's static IP.  Frankly, it's something of the order of operations that is causing the problem.  We are looking at this for other clients, but at the moment, what your options are

    (1) add DHCP to the subnet by using your own server DHCP OR vShield Edge

    (2) add a PostScript of customization to join the domain, it can be inserted into the comments thus customizaion area.

    Hope this helps you stop banging their heads on the wall
