• CAN´t find other computers on the home network Windows.

  I have a home network windows already defined with two desktop with Windows XP and a laptop with Windows 2000. The computers are connected to a router with ethernet cables and the lap top wireless (WiFi) to the same router. Now, I'm trying to connect a fourth computer (a desk top) with Windows Vista. It works fine to connect to Internet, but I can't reach the other computers on the network. On other computers, I can see a 'new', but I don't see the others of a "new". Can someone help me with the configuration of the computer "Vista"?  Thanks in advance.  / Thomas

  Hello
   
  To home network computers running different versions of Windows, we need to make sure that what follows.
  a. ensure that all computers are in the same workgroup.
  (b) the value of the private network location type.
  c. open ports in your firewall to allow file and printer sharing.
  d. turn on additional file and printer sharing options.
  e. consider using password protected sharing.
  5 using the network card.
   
  The NIC in the network and sharing Center is a graphical view of the computers and devices on your network, showing how they are connected and including problem areas. A computer running Windows XP can be detected and appear on the network map, you may need to install the Protocol Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) on this computer.
   
  To install LLTD, visit the following link and download: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120

• WRT160N - can't see other computers on the network

  I installed a new WRT160N and now I can't see other computers on my local network, but I can access the internet on each of them.

  Y at - it a setting that I need to change or what I need to use static IP instead of DHCP addresses?

  If you cannot ping the other computers on the network, then check your firewall settings or any other security software blocking the connection.

• connect other computers to the internet through an ad hoc network of a connection__ broadband windows 7

  I have a HP netbook with a Windows 7-based broadband connection.  I created a residential group of this netbook so other computers running Windows XP can connect to it and use the connection Strip.  I have inconsistent results.  Sometimes it works and sometimes not.

  My question how do I set up a gateway to the internet from the netbook to other computers can access the internet.

  Do I need to set up a network of residential group for this place?  Is there some settings of internet connection of the netbook I need to change (for now that I disabled the firewall, so it does not interfere).

  Thank you

  I do not use a router.  My netbook has a map broadband and a wi - fi card.  Simply, I connect to internet through my broadband card.  I tried other computers to be able to access the internet through that connection, that's why I've set up homegroup (maybe I would not do?)

  Anyway, sometimes it works but is not for most.  I'm trying to keep it simple and not get a router, etc. since it is a situation that's going to happen from time to time.

  Thanks for responding!

  Paula

  As posted earlier...

  To use your netbook as access wireless router/AP watch these GUI frontends to netsh commands that will do this for you. I do not think that you have ICS enabled to do so.

  http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/

  http://www.Connectify.me/index.html

  ICS, in my experience there is a very long time is flakey at best...

  FWIW, there are routers broadband accepting adapters broadband videophone/USB/etc function for example. According to what broadband service, you have maybe one depending on your needs.

• Cannot see other computers on the network

  Am on XP SP3.
  When I go to network connections,
  Right-click on local area network
  Click Properties under the general tab,
  Click on install and click Service
  .. all I see is a list for a McAfee driver but nothing for Microsoft. I removed my computer some time ago with McAfee & he must have created problems that I can't see other computers on the network. Is there a Microsoft driver, I need to install and which will help to solve the problem of not seeing other computers on the network.

  On the general tab of the properties of your network connection to the LAN card, you should see a box under the heading "this connection uses the following items."  Most Windows XP configurations for home use have 4 entries in this box: Client for Microsoft Networks, QoS Packet Scheduler, file sharing and printers for Microsoft Networks, and Internet (TCP/IP) Protocol.

  If you don't have these, you need to install, even if you really need not the Scheduler of QoS packages.

  You seem to have got almost to the right place, but be aware that when you click on the button 'Install' in the box, you are given 3 choices: customer, Service and Protocol.  The "Client for Microsoft networks" is obviously a "customer." 'Internet (TCP/IP) Protocol' is a 'Protocol' and the other two are "Services".

  What elements you have installed?

• Win7 computer cannot connect to other computers Win7 network "\\computername is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource ".

  I have a Windows 7 (box A) system that cannot connect to files shared on another computer in Windows 7 (box B).

  • On the 'network card' and 'See the network computers and devices', I can see box B of area A.
  • I can ping Box B of area A.
  • I can connect on MEDIA sharing on box B of area A.
  • Area C (another system of Windows 7) I can connect to the B area and am presented with a box of authentication to connect to the shares (i.e., box B works as it should).

  But the box has double clicking on box B or using \\computername or \\IP_Address the dialog box run, I get the error:

  ----

  \\computername is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

  The network is not present or not started.

  ----

  I know that the system is available, because the area C can access... But something's not on the box... It cannot connect to zone B or C. Box

  I have disabled the firewall on both systems without result.

  I reinstalled the network adapter and Client for Microsoft Networks is installed on the box.

  Yet somehow box's not connection to other computers on the network.

  Any thoughts on what I should check would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance for the help.

  OK... so I was able to track down and get it fixed...

  I found another symptom (that would be a good way to check and see if you experience the same problem).

  In the network and sharing Center, I clicked on "Change advanced sharing settings" in the left column. I found that the radio button under "File and printer sharing" was put on the OFF position.  I started and saved the changes, but when I returned in these settings, it is once again in the off position.

  It turned out that the workstation service is set to disabled (which also caused the computer browser service for not being able to boot). I activated the workstation service, started, and set it to automatic.  Then did the same for the computer browser service.

  Both of these services running, the "File and printer sharing" it will remain actually on IT, and I am able to connect to other devices on the network in the way I had to.

  I can't mark this message as the solution (perhaps because I posted it?) so if someone he will quote as their response to the post office, I'll be able to mark as answer.

• Cannot see other computers on the network of the office.

  I can't see other computers on the network from my office, but if I type in \\xxxxxxxxxxx I'm able to get on the other computers on the network. How can I have them automatically appear?

  I'm terribly sorry for wasting your time.

  I realized what the problem was. I've implemented the new computer exactly as the old, same name and everything. Come and find the computer name of the computer being the same as the old conflict and did not again see what was on the network.

  So the trick was unplug the old computer from the network.

• I can not connect computer vista laptop to my network home, but I can connect to other networks. Other computers can connect to my home network very well. This can be corrected?

  My laptop runs Vista and I've not had problems connecting to my home network wireless until a week ago or not.  Then, trying to connect, I see other available networks, but not my own.  When I try to connect manually, it says that the network already exists.  Other computers, macbooks, are able to connect to my home network without problem.  I am able to connect to a network on my laptop fine unsecured wireless.

  I could 'solve' the problem or get reconnected with a restoration of the system to an earlier date, but it only lasts a day or two.  I searched for another fix and tried many things, including to reset the router, remove my network, and then reinstall, etc, but can't seem to get this to work as if it were - automatic connection as the first network.

  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  Hello

  Thanks for asking!

  This is because the network discovery is turned on.

  If you want, I suggest try tuning off the COAST of the discovery of the network and check if it helps.

• Network management problem, computer laptop Windows 7 will not find other computers on any network, however all other computers on the network can access Windows 7 laptop.

  Basically, the issue I'm having is that my laptop does not connect to any other computer to access the actions or other files.  Other computers on the network can access my computer laptop shares and files without any problems.  Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.

  What I tried:

  restarted
  uninstalling and reinstalling the files and printers, sharing maps and restart after completion
  all disabled firewall
  tried with IPv6 enabled and disabled without change, so it is currently enabled
  tried on a Wi - Fi and the differences are listed below in the section work (work is wireless)
  able to ping other comptuers
  access to other computers is permitted by other computers

  problem extends over several networks, IE I noticed it at home last night and the followed problem my laptop at work this morning.
  The problem is slightly different on the two sites.

  At home:
  I can see the other computers on the network, but I am unable to access it, even if I have permission, but other computers can access to my laptop.

  At work:
  Cannot even find other computers on the network but they can find and access my laptop.

  I have worked on this problem of non stop for several hours and did much more than what is said, but I am unable to remember everything.  I should have been taking notes: P

  Asked this question in the Windows 7 forum also because the problem was between windows 7 and Vista.

  Hello

  If it has started, you can try a system restore - an update "might" have caused the problem.

  1. try a system restore back to a point before that happened. And immediately thereafter enter
  Control Panel - Windows updates - top left settings and set it to download and informs you instead
  Automatic. Leave it until you are sure that everything is OK and then you can add them one at a time
  to troubleshoot BUT click right on and HIDE all the driver updates. Also stop at day of drivers like below
  and let this value - manually search for drivers when you think you need. (See how and why to)
  stop day of drivers below.)

  How to make a Vista system restore
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-System-Restore-how.html

  To uninstall an update if you determine that there are problems - Panel - updated Windows - down left-
  Updates installed - uninstall

  I had completely forgotten the system restore!  While looking into the system restore, I found that when I moved into my new House and has cable Internet installed, the cable technology installed a program of comcast on my computer.  This caused me to not be able to connect with other computers.  After rolling back to install it before it works!   Thank you.
