  • Files & folder sharing between XP, Vista, Seven with password protected

    How to share files or folder between XP, Vista & seven... must password protected
    My vista and my friend seven sharing very well, is password protected and I would like to add another XP at the center network and sharing as well, but I find the xp you have a problem, it can make sharing with vista & seven only without password protected and I would like to know how can I do with password protected sharing.
    Below are done on xp:
    1. install the update kb922120
    2.secpol.msc-> authentication security LAN network manager set to send LM & NTLMv2 - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.
    Using Xp to Vista to access, seven a shared folder, no problem, while the password protected is located next
    Using XP to Vista, the folder shared seven, the access you have problem while the password is defined on
    It show no permission, but suppose that displays the prompt for credentials...

    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.

    In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, running on Windows 7 sharing files and printer as above will take care of this for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then 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. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. 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:

    Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Unable to share files from Illustrator to draw on my ipad to my Illustrator on my desk

    Hi, I am unable to share files from Illustrator to draw on my ipad to my Illustrator on my desk... I'm only given the opportunity to share with Behance, there is no option to share with Illustrator or Photoshop. I called the helpline, and suggested I delete the app and reload, they weren't able to confirm if I would lose my sketches in the process. Any thoughts?

    Hi Anne,.

    Do not uninstall the application. You're just trying to send from the wrong place. Open a Web and tap the icon (square with an arrow) sharing in that open Web to send to Illustrator or Photoshop CC.

    Two quick mentions:

    Make sure that you are connected to the mobile application and the desktop application with the same Adobe ID.

    Make sure that your desktop applications are the latest versions.

    Let me know how things are going.

    Hello world

    just bought a new macbook pro 2015 and I can't transfer file via airdrop between the macbook pro and my iphone 6.

    Can someone please help me solve this problem?

    Thank you

    < re-titled by host >

    First check the steps to run the drop:

    Use AirDrop to send the contents of your Mac - Apple Support

    There are some work around to try airdrop work:

    1. Turn off Bluetooth on your Mac.
    2. Delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
    3. Re-turn on Bluetooth

    You can find more info here:

    If you do not see all of your device, it means that you are affected by the same problem, I have known, since the upgrade to OS X the air drop of Captain does not work.

    You can install it on 3 computers, can be signed two at a time and can actually use on one at a time.

    If you want to use on the third, just disconnect one of the other and connect on a third.

  • Networking issues: cannot share files or printers.

    I use a PC and a laptop. I connected them via an ethernet network cable. The problem is that I can't share my printer on the network. I have internet on the PC and laptop. I can see the computer 'host' through the laptop and I can see the "guest" through desktop PC. My printer is hooked up and I can use it on the computer 'host', but not 'invited '. In fact, the only thing that I can share is the internet connection. No files, printers, or anything else. The printer is configured to share on the 'hosting', but when I get on the cell phone "invited" it is unable to find it. I know that the functions of cable because if I disconnect it from the laptop I'm more able to see the other computer and I will return to local access. My network in my system tray icon says ' currently logged in: 3 access to the local network and internet. »

    We are able to ping computers, our working groups are correct, and we turned on all the files already sharing settings.

    Both systems are running windows Vista. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • A hard time with the drivers for Vista Home Premium computer laptop computer network with Windows 7

    OK, I've read tons of information on that and I'm stumped.  I have an Epson Stylus CX6600 all-in-one printer.  I have my Windows vista Home premium networking with my 64-bit Windows 7 computer.  I go to the step where the machine Vista attempts to connect to the printer on the network, then it asks a driver.  The driver file is already on the vista machine.  I installed the latest drivers from Microsoft and epson on the Windows 7 machine and he always asks a driver.  Can someone point me to the exact file name and the location of the driver in the vista vista machine so I can simply copy and point to it my windows machine 7.  I did the updates from Microsoft to get all the latest drivers.  Thank you.

    You do not install the Vista drivers on Windows 7 computer.

    Greetings,

    I have a Windows 7 64-bit workstation that is currently getting an internet connection. I plugged it long enough to allow activation and connection to the programs already installed.

    However, I am when it comes to updates or is it the account activation and favourite routes.
