vista ultimate for xp home network

I have Office operational dual boot with vista ultimate/xp home and a laptop and a desktop running xp home.  I'm trying to network all computers with an ethernet switch.  I just bought a new switch, which, according to the manufacturer, is compatible with vista.  Have installed link layer topology on the laptop, all computers are in the Working Group "mshome".  XP on dual boot system, all computers communicate and share my internet connection through my aircard wireless of sierra on dual-boot computer.  When I am running vista, I see the laptop with LLT but when I try to open it I get "error code: 0 x 80070035 the network path was not found."  I think that if I can just get them all to communicate, they should be able to share the internet connection through the aircard card.  Any suggestions?

  • Inned to discover or to change the key of network security for my home network.

    I forgot my security key for my home network.  It seems that each new wireless device needs this password to work!

    Simple solution: reset your router to its default settings.  The method is described in the manual of the router.  The default password after reset is documented in this same manual. Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

  • Vista Ultimate for declass

    I just want to say. I read these forums for a while now. But have never posted a question. I posted my question I guess in the wrong forum. I write it again here because the other forum moderator sent me on this forum. I hope it is the right one. I don't want to publish it again. This is the 1st time writes.

    I understand that I can downgrade Vista Ultimate to XP Pro. I have Xp Pro (OEM) Media withn a product key. But here's my question. The key is currently in use on another PC I have. Can I use this key for the downgrade. Or should I buy another copy of XP Pro with key. And if I have to buy a copy. Why would they call it a downgrade. Thank you!

    If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, or you bougght an OEM disk/license, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The OEM license is linked to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a retail license, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    This is the wording for the downgrade:

    Can I downgrade my OEM version of Windows Vista business to Windows XP Professional?

    Yes. Right of demotion OEM desktop operating systems PC apply to Windows Vista business and Windows Vista Edition full, as stated in the terms of the license. Please note, downgrade versions OEM Windows Vista business and Windows Vista Ultimate are limited to Windows XP Professional (including Windows XP Edition Tablet PC and Windows XP x 64 edition). End users can use the following media for their downgrade: Volume Licensing media (provided that the end-user has a Volume License Agreement), trade retail (FPP) or System Builder hologram CD (provided that the software is acquired in accordance with the Microsoft OEM System Builder License). Use of degraded operating system is governed by the Windows Vista Business license terms, and the end user cannot use the downgrade and professional Windows Vista operating system. There is no right of demotion for Windows Vista Home Basic or Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

    See you soon.

  • How can I find the network key for my home network?

    I have just purchase a new laptop and access the internet via my home network. The new laptop wonder the network key. Where can I find that on my computer at home?  I had someone else set up the network for me.

    The network key or WEP/WPA key, you should be able to find on your router or access point.  Open your browser and type the IP address of your router to access wireless and search of WEP security or the protection of the network area.  Quite a few routers/access points are configured as 192.168.0.1, that intellectual property then give it a shot in your browser by default.  If it is by default, the name of user/pass is always likely admin/admin or admin and then empty password.

    I hope this helps!

    Hello bethm214,

    Please take a look at this solution posted by makeparts on the Forums of HP Support:

    Everything you have to do is RESTORE NETWORK settings DEFAULT to the front control panel - follow this path on the front panel of your Wireless 8500: Menu Setup > network > network restore settings by default, it will reset the default

    (1) requirement for access password turned OFF

    (2) default user name is ADMIN

    (3) password is EMPTY

    On the set of before your IP network information - Menu Setup Control Panel > network > Advanced Setup > IP settings > manual. You can then access SAP and see all / manage all settings, including resetting the password to the web server integrated EWS.

    I hope this helps, please let me know if you need more help.

    Thank you

  • XP computer does not access the Vista computer on the home network.

    I have a three home computers I'm trying to set up using two with XP - Pro (all updates including SP3 installed) and a third with Vista Home Premium (SP2 installed, all the updates that are installed to date). The two XP machines can connect (access) between them, but they cannot access the Vista machine. The Vista Machine can access the two XP machines. I've tried every tip/trick that I can find so far and nothing. Ping on each pc test, uninstalled the Norton firewall, permisions changed part to the best of my knowledge on all PCs, I am the owner of the computer and to assume with a single account on Vista I have right to full ownership, contacted the manufacturer of routers (performed an upgrade), but nothing is allowing access to the Visat pc.  When you view the network connections on the XP machines, Vista is listed, I can click to open and see the folders to share, but when I try to open a file I get the error\\xxx\xx is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact. admin of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied.

    It's funny that I can find other users to comment on other forums that they are experincing the opposite scenrio with access denied on XP machines... Thanks in advance for any help...

    Hello

    Uninstall any software antivirus and then check to see if you can access the Vista computer again.

    Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software.
    If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Hello

    It will be interesting to know if this happens right at the beginning or all the time so that the WIFI is enabled. If this happens right at the beginning, it may be possible that the unit will search automatically for certain network files or even printers. For this reason, the opening of applications may take a longer time.

  • computer Vista Home network is not visible from the XP computers

    I have a home network with 4 computers. Both run Windows XP, Windows Vista is running and
    It works in Windows 7. Each group can see all the others and can access shared files and printers
    with one exception. Vista computer is not visible from the XP computers. It is visible from
    the Windows 7 computer. I guess that there is a setting somewhere on the Vista machine
    That I need to change, but I'm not.

    Hello

    You are using a router that is easier or making an ad hoc network?

    Leave a message from Bob Cerelli:

    The bases for troubleshooting are:

    1. make sure that you have the same (e.g., 192.168.0.x) intellectual property regime.

    2 make sure you have the same mask subnet, gateway, and DNS IP addresses.

    3. make sure you can ping the IP address of the other computer. Failure, just to test, make sure that you disable XP as well as any other firewall.

    4. make sure that you can test other computers by name.

    5. make sure that you have the same workgroup name (note the spaces)

    6. for purposes of troubleshooting, turn off XP and completely uninstall any other firewall software. You can always add more complexity once get you it working.

    7 with XP, make sure you have the same user name and password that the person by connecting to other computers. The default setting for XP Pro is to require a password for network access.
