Hello

Maybe this can help.

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

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

Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that 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#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 the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

Win 7 networking with other version of Windows as a work network.

In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

If you have authorization and security problems, check the following settings.

Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

In the properties

Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

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 . There must be specific users. All means all users who already have an account now as users. This does not mean everyone who feel they would like to connect.

    Windows Vista is a more recent version of Microsoft Windows than Windows XP.  Windows 7 is the current version of Microsoft Windows with Windows 8 to be released soon.  Get a brief overview:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/history
    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Microsoft_Windows

    You have not, "Windows Vista also".  You have probably one or the other, and perhaps a corruption in your current system is originally a misreport on some web pages.

    Discover what operating system you use:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/help/which-version-of-the-Windows-operating-system-am-i-running

    After that, we will understand what Internet Explorer browser (just a simple web browser, such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome, etc) you are running:
    While in Internet Explorer, press ALT from your keyboard and while holding this button down (hold it down) also press the 'H' key on your keyboard.  This should indicate the "Help" menu in which you will find the choices 'A connection of Internet Explorer'.  Release the keys you pressed on and choose that.

    You can report both of these things here.

    If you want even MORE information about your computer, I suggest running and results of this free program to print: Belarc Advisor.  Its output (this is a web link) will provide you with detailed hardware and software on your system information.

  • What is the difference between Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail?

    Separated from this thread.

    I realize that starting from 7/11, Windows Live is more effective on my Windows Vista system.  I understand that and I have since beengetting my Hotmail acc't workingusing only Windows Live Mail.  This am, I tried to create a new account hotmail for my friend, but we couldn't get it to accept and just stopped trying.  Now, today, I can not send any e-mail because "you cannot configure Windows Mail to use a web (HTTP) that is running Windows Vista based."  WHA?  I managed somehow to get into Windows Live when I tried to get a new account hotmail for my friend?  Also, I also receive a message from the Assistant on "you want to want to leave, you have not created your new account?  (probably not the exact wording).  In response, I clicked Yes and no, and still I can't get out of this Windows Live.  I would like to purge my system of this needless to Windows Live and only use Windows Live Mail.  Can someone help me to do this?  (My knowledge of couputer is at a basic level, so hopefully it won't be too difficult to understand.)  Thank you!!!

    (With the HTTP mess), it seems Windows Mail and Windows LIVE Mail are two very different things.

    I am not a technician, but try to stay up-to-date. I have known that Vista sucks because it came out, but it surprised me, never have used before today. So I wonder...  Windows LIVE Mail can be installed on a Vista unit, and if so he would remove the format HTTP bug? It's all THE Microsoft, after all! On my PC with Windows 7 HP with complete Essentials, including Live Mail (for PC, to avoid confusion with the version online), I have not had any problems to Hotmail at work, send or receive. GMail also, no problem, the only thing I did NOT like about Live Mail is that it doesn't have the handy function "Sweep" that I love, I just go online to own things very quickly. With only Windows Mail (which I assume is supplied with Vista), it won't let me even try to set-up Hotmail/Outlook account. It's stupid, because like I said it's all EM!

    peace ~

    Windows Mail is the e-mail that comes with client program and a part of Windows Vista. Windows Live Mail is a program available for free download; It is an e-mail client, the timing, the Manager contacts, aggregator and newsreader at a single feeding program.

    Until a few years ago, it was possible to synchronize the Hotmail accounts with e-mail clients on Windows XP and Vista (Outlook Express and Windows Mail respectively) using WebDAV over HTTP protocol. This method has been deprecated after a long sequence of initialization in September 2009. Before that date, POP3 access has been made available for all Hotmail accounts. At any time it was not possible to access Hotmail email clients accounts. There is no bug involved here, nor in HTTP format or anything else.

    Windows Live Mail is built to use a different former WebDAV protocol; DeltaSync protocol allows the synchronization of e-mail folders, contacts, and calendars between client and server.

    You may be able to download the installer for Windows Live Mail 2011 of this page: How to install Windows Essentials while offline? Do not try to include Windows Live Writer or Messenger in the installation; None of them will work and you can gum up toward the top of the entire installation Essentials if you do. It may be better to stick to one mail at first. Windows Live Mail 2011 is the latest version which runs on Vista.

  • What is the difference between windows 8 and windows RT?

    Just got bored so I'm asking just that.

    Windows RT is an app-store driven by the operating system that users cannot install legacy programs and third-party drivers or addons. RT runs only on devices using the ARM processor, which was designed specifically with the best results-power consumption for mobile devices in mind.

    Windows 8 is a complete operating system and users will be able to install third-party drivers and existing programs or addons in the same way that it does with older versions of Windows such as Windows 7 or Windows Vista.

    Please take note that as Windows 8 is designed to run on x 86 processors, systems running Windows RT will not be able to be upgraded to Windows 8 because it will not run on a system with an ARM processor.

  • How do I share my printer between my two systems of Windows 7?

    Some users find that they have a printer that is not connected to the network that worked well in a mixed Windows environment, but their two printers on Windows 7 (a host and a client) are not able to share the printer.

    Windows 7 manages networks differently than previous versions of Windows.

    The best way to start with sharing printers between several Windows 7 computers is to set up a homegroup.  A homegroup is a way to allow different Windows 7 computers communicate with each other and share resources.  Microsoft has a good article on the residential groups that includes links to various guides.

    Once the residential group is installed, the next step is to set up a host of the USB printer.

    This Microsoft article details how to enable files and printers, sharing, printer sharing and the main steps of adding the printer.

    The first two sections are fine as they are, but I would like to expand on adding a printer shared on other computers to Windows 7.

    This process tends to have the greatest success with printer sharing in Windows 7.  Most USB printers only have a driver available in Windows.

    1. Select start > devices and printers.

    2. click on add a printer up.

    3 if it is a network printer, it is not the standard current network printer.  Select Add a local printer.

    4. Select create a new port with a local port for type.

    5. enter------------ without the <> symbols.  The host name is the name of the computer on which the printer is connected to it.  If you don't know this name, go to the host computer and click Start > right click on computer > properties.  The name of the computer appears here.  Share name of the printer has been selected in a previous step in the Microsoft article.

    6. click on Ok and the printer driver appears.  Click Windows Update to ensure that it is the most recent list.

    7. Select the printer model in the list.

    8. follow the rest of the guests.

    At the end of these steps, the printer must be shared from the host computer to the other computers on Windows 7.

    A few important notes this configuration:

    1. only impression will be functional.

    2. the host computer must be on for printing to work.

    3. the host computer may enter sleep or suspension.  This interrupts the shared printer on other systems.

    With these steps, the printer must be functional on Windows 7 computers once more.

    I hope this information is useful for some.
