    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.

  • When I try to share files between two computers Windows XP with SP3, I'm invited for a user name and password on both.

    I set up a home network with 2 computers with XP Media Center 2002 SP3 1 and 1 with XP Home SP3 2002 can see computers on the network and the Ping works. But I wonder a user name and password. seems to come from the computer. Do not see documents shared to the Media Center computer.

    original title: file sharing problems.

    As far as I can remember, Media Center is XP Pro with additional multimedia functions.  What follows is a very old post by MS MVP Malke, but the Council is still sound:

    File sharing / print

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

    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.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, 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. 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. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

    Configure Windows to login automatically (MVP Ramesh) -.

    http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/Autologon.htm

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

    E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

  • Dell Windows 7 recovery/restore factory - Windows problem requires the user ID and password after recovery full? Why?

    I have a desktop Dell Inspiron 580 with Windows 7 Home Premium. I did a full system recovery using the recovery partition on the hard drive first where it erases all data and gives back to the factory condition. After the restoration, when Windows starts for the first time, he returned to the normal login screen requiring a user ID and password.  Why is this? I can't continue because there is no user ID and password when you wait for all the data to be wiped and starting a restore factory complete.

    I realized a second time with the same results.

    I realized a third time using the Dell recovery disk set, done using the Dell program on the computer before the restore operation. I watched the program perform a partition formatting, so all data should be erased. I got the same results by asking an existing user ID and password.

    Now, I did complete factory restore a fourth time by using the recovery discs. I always get the same results.

    When Windows 7 starts for the first time, every time, I expect windows to ask me to create a new user and password.  Instead, Windows starts to askling normal login for an existing user ID and password screen. What is the cause of this problem? I see many people with this problem in the forums. I have not found a real solution.

    Thanks for any help. :-)

    Perform a clean installation of Windows 7 in the Windows reinstallation Guide:

    Method 1:

    Try to add or remove the account in Windows Mail and check.

     

    Add or remove a Windows Mail account

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/add-or-remove-a-Windows-mail-account

    Method 2: Disable the anti-virus software if installed some and check.

    Caution:
    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 need to 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, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Configuration to use windows mail for mobile and iphone without having to sign in with the user name and password each time?

    Hello, I have a windows mail account on my laptop and I also have an iphone. I registered my account companys on both laptop and iphone problem is when you configure receive it and send messages on mobile then you can not send screws iphone.

    If you set up the password for the e-mail account on your iphone, it will stop and request your username and password on your laptop.

    How is it possible to use both systems without having to login with user name and password every time?

    Hoslo

    Both could be "collision" in that they are both trying to access the mail server at the same time.  Make sure that they do not check too often.  Try to disable a device when checking with each other and see if that makes a difference.  Also with WinMail, if you have a POP3 account, make sure that under Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced that you have configured to leave a copy of messages on the server, so the phone can bring too, that normally it will delete messages on the server when it downloads.

  • In Windows Mail, journal on security keeps popping up asking me to check the user name and password.

    Original title: "Windows Security".

    I have Vista Home Premium with SP 2. In Windows Mail, logon security keeps popping up asking me to check the user name and password. This happens from time to time for many months and I've always got to work but happened several times today.  I can sign in the server through my ISP and get email. In Windows mail, I confirmed that the name of username-password is the same that I connect through the ISP.  I can't front/send by email but receive in Windows mail.

    Server response: '-ERR [IN USE] account is locked by another session or for maintenance, try again.',

    So wait a while and try again later.  You can also go to their website and log on there to see if it works.

    Also try to compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/)

    If the computer is on an Internet connection, you can reset the password on the Windows Password Reset site.  If the PC is not online right now if that won't work because it doesn't 'knows' the new password.

    If there is another user account on the computer that has admin access, you can use it to reset your own password from the control panel.

    If there is no other user accounts, there are a built-in backup Administrator account, but for security reasons, you can only get to Safe Mode.

    Hello Ashan,

    Thanks for the reply.

    You can try to follow the following suggestions to solve the problem.

    First, try to reset Internet Explorer and see if that helps.

    Reset Internet Explorer

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923737

    Note: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you have added to the list of Trusted Sites. Reset the Internet Explorer settings can also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the reset Internet Explorer settings. Reset Internet Explorer is not reversible, and all the previous settings are lost after reset.

    Additional information:

    We can also refer to the computer or the device manufacturer's Web site and try to update the latest version of the network adapter drivers.
