Vista cannot see network but other machines readers works very well

Hi all

Really problem simple and stupid that led to me round the twist that I see not what is causing the problem.

I have 2 laptops and 2 players on the same network implemented as follows:

-1 laptop running windows 7.
-1 laptop running windows Vista
-1 dedicated NAS connected via Ethernet, which is also a media server
-1 USB key converted to a NAS by connecting a player to the USB port on the router

Computer laptop windows 7 can access internet and network drives fine and access the Vista laptop - nothing wrong with this machine.

The computer Vista laptop can access the internet and a Windows 7 laptop but I am unable to "see" the network drives when you browse the network to map drives.

As far as I can tell, the two laptops have the same settings and are in the same workgroup between them and the network drives.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thank you

Grahame

Hello

Did you change your computer?

(1) first of all, make sure that the workgroup name is the same on all computers on the network. In Windows Vista and Windows 7, the default workgroup name is "WORKGROUP". On Windows XP, the name of working group by default on Windows XP-based computers is "MSHOME". On all other versions of XP Professional, it is "WORKGROUP".

Go to control panel, then network and sharing Center:
(2) network discovery: WE
(3) the network value: private
(4) file Sharing is: on
(5) public folder sharing: WE
(6) protected password: OFF

  • error of connection but my wi - fi works very well

    Hello mrsdoc83,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you get a connection error when you try to connect to iCloud after that your Mac has been asleep.  I know this may sound like a simple troubleshooting step, but I suggest first that you restart the computer and see if the problem persists.

    Restart

    Do one of the following:

    Choose the Apple menu > restart.

    Hold the power button until you see the restart, sleep, or close the dialog box, then click on restart, or press R.

    If the pointer is frozen on the screen or your Mac becomes unresponsive, press command (⌘) - power button to force a restart.

    Important: If you force a reboot, you may lose the unsaved changes in open documents.

    If you don't want the application windows you have currently open to reopen when you restart your Mac and open a session, deactivate the option "reopen the windows when you log in.

    OS X Yosemite: log off, sleep, restart and shut down

    Take care.

    You try to call a function in SQL that violates the rules of "how functions should behave when she is called in SQL.

    In other words, someone seems to have coded UTL_UTL. Escape() or UTL_UTL. UNESCAPE() with a COMMIT or ROLLBACK in the code. Which is not allowed in the functions that are called in a SQL statement.

    I suggest that you raise a Service request to get it looked at properly.

  • Windows 7, Dell Docking Station, cannot get sound through speakers (portable speakers work very well)

    Dell Latittude D630
    Replicator docking station
    Creative Labs speakers - no drivers are provided
    When I play the audio, it comes through the speakers of the laptop, even when the laptop is closed and in the docking station
    Unplugged and reconnected and has held over my head like an etch-a - sketch--> nothing solved the problem

    Hello Rzman,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

    As you can hear clearly through the laptop. It seems that the connection on the speakers are not appropriate. Make sure all agreements fully connected without any loose connections.

    It could be a problem with the docking station. Try to connect the speakers directly to the laptop without using the docking station and check if it works very well.

    If the problem persists, then I suggest you to check with the speakers. You can also contact the manufacturer of your docking station or with dell and check with them if this is of any help

    Please get back to us if you have any other questions.

  • How is it, windows XP or Windows 7 cannot see network drive?

    first of all, I have 5 computers.  Installed with Windows 7 installed with Vista and 1 2 3 MacBook Pro.  I created 1 network drive to more easily move files named "ShareMe.  All the protable can use the shared folder since I gave permission to everyone.  All the computer can use the network printer.  I installed Windows 7 on a Mac using VMware 2.0.5 and able to print using printer network with no problems.  I installed another Windows 7 on VMware Workstatin on a PC, and it can use the network also printer without any problems.

    (Everything is legitimate and so far I just was not updated to 2.0.6 because I heard a lot of things to have a slow speed)

    That is the problem, not an operating system that runs on VMware can't see my shared folder in the network, it cannot see networked host computer.   I speak not shared folder between VMware and the computer host.  Between the host and VMware are very well; However, I'm talking about that all shared folder the computer can see (folder ShareMe).

    Using NAT to network adapter

    This is the problem because it puts the virtual machine on a separate subnet, then the one on the host is.  Past to open and release/renew IP on each virtual Machine.

    Take a look at: Understanding Networking in VMware Fusion

    Tip: With a Machine virtual Windows switch between NAT and connected by a bridge or visa versa, can be made without restarting, or even by using ipconfig to release/renew the IP address.  Simply toggle the State connected/disconnected from the network of the <...>Network icon on the status bar from the type of network between the two. It takes but a few seconds and a few clicks and is faster and easier the alternative methods.

  • I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

    You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

    Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

    Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

  • 2nd WVC54GCA works very well on the LAN, but I don't see it on the internet

    I recently bought a 2nd camera, so I can remotely monitor the 2 places home. The first camera that I put in place with the other default values that address static ip, I gave him, shipped port port 80 and when I type in my dynamic dns name like "http://myname.dyndns.org:80" it works very well, in fact I have same need to type the port number and it works. The dynamic dns used to take me direct to my configuration of routers (WRT54GL) but now I just type in: 8080 to the end to get to the configuration of the router to the internet. In any case, it works well and I can take pictures, live video monitor, movement detected email snaps etc. without any problem.

    Then I bought a 2nd WVC54GCA and together to the top of the same thing, he has assigned a static IP address and on the options page I activated the replacement web access port and left port 1024, port forwarded in the router with the new ip address and the port etc.  I can access the camera very well via a browser on my local network using the ip address: 1024 or the 'myname.dyndns.org:1024', but I can't access the cam 2nd via the net now. I am confused at this point, I didn't know that a second dynamic dns would be necessary since the device is configured to use a different port, and when I try using the ip address: 1024 it makes no difference anyway.

    Am I missing something here?

    What I thought was the problem wasn't, I had my port of port of port forwarding on the same number, and when you set the parameter port internal address port forwarding port, which is 80 in the case of the linksys cam.

    Once again that I realized that however, 1024 still wouldn't work, so I changed it to 8081 since my routers gui port is 8080, and I had to change the port setting to 81 in port forwarding and add: 81 to my dns address for it to work.

    Linksys should be ignored during the first 80 or some thing, or perhaps 80 is the default, because before when I wanted to join my router gui all outdoor I had was my dnyamic dns name without the: 8080, and when I added a cam to the network it would go directly to the cam, unless I specifically set : 8080 to the end.

    In any case, I have now the two cams work and accessible. For what it's worth, if there are people from linksys playback of this member of the Board they are terrible docco to explain things, the monitoring software is buggy as all get out and if I struggled as a computer scientist looks at work then the average schmoe stands little or no chance...

    I think the next thing to test would that interfere with Add-ons. Disables the Firefox Add-on - Add-ons that only list compatibility with Firefox 5, but some add-ons could cause problems.

    To test, the simplest method is to restart Firefox Safe mode.

    First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See your backup information. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).

    Then, try help > restart with disabled modules > continue in Mode safe (do not check the boxes). This article gives more information on the options and features of Safe Mode: Safe Mode.

    What is fix? If so, you may have to disable some add-ons.

  • Sites Web open do not, but other applications internet like Skype, viber, messengers works very well

    Hi guys,.

    It comes to Nilesh, I really need help in this case.

    Since last week, its been observed on my Dell Inspiron 3521 to i5 with HDD 750, 4 GB of RAM (Service Tag # ), that in spite of the use of 10 Mbps ethernet speed cable, the site does not open unless I restart the computer each time but other applications such as Skype video calling, viber works very well, the torrent files are also downloaded great at high speed.

    What I've done so far-

    (1) the connection on the router - OK

    (2) RJ45 Ethernet connector was broken - fixed.

    (3) Firewall setting - ON (default)

    (4) I've restored the system as well.

    (5) Avast Anti-virus manually installed on my PC and its ON 24 / 7 and I also scanned my computer and not threats that will find there also.

    (6) my system is up to date, I have downloaded a few applications for the Dell software update on my 3521. So, it updates the new versions automatically and automatically restarts the computer.

    (7) I have tried to connect my laptop directly with the cable coming from the wall too, still the same problem.

    Despite all this, the only problem Im making ' is difficult, impossible to open the Web site. I can open the Web site but only when I restart my laptop and that too for only 10 or 15 or 20 or 30 minutes. After that, one more time of site question. I mean, the Web sites stop opening after 20-30 minutes.

    Some of my friends, colleagues suggest me to get the laptop formatted.

    So, my request here is, do I really format my C drive? If there no need other alternatives, please please please share. (but, before that, please read everything that I did on my 3521 far to avoid a repetition)

    If other than all of the above, and if I need to format my C drive, let me know the procedure of formatting PC which I think will be clean the PC and start from scratch. So far I got the backup of my C drive to the D drive.

    I would appreciate your help in this matter, as its so frustrating. I hope you understand my situation here.

    Thank you very much!

    I followed the steps you told me, and I was able to download successfully from chrome and mozilla firefox, as well as the software application anti malware free one that told you me... and did a quick scan by your suggestion. And, guess what, there were approximately 136 flaws that I deleted the system. (BDW, digital defects had a few registeies also, but not sure if I did it correct that I removed, could you explain me basically what it is, is it a virus or what and how is it that night my computer?) Just for my tech knowledge.)

    Now, my system works like a butter on a roll. You just need a raise!
