• My emptiness of my network places, but the networking seems fine

  So, I'm having a bit of a problem that seems to have an impact on all computers on my home network (XP pro x 64 SP2, XP Home SP2, XP Home SP3, XP Pro SP3). Everything worked fine for a year, or while I was at home and then all of a sudden, in recent days, this problem has hit. I can't connect directly to one of the shared folders on my network through my network places. There are more all shared folders showing up there. I try to search the network for shared folders manually by opening the entire network-> Microsoft Windows network (slower than normal here to find my task force, WORKING group)-> WORKING group. Once I try to open my workgroup, he waits a while and then I get the error: "the Working Group 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 list of servers of this working group is not currently available. ". Note that all of my PC of in this working group.
  Internet works fine on all computers, and I can access any shared drives I have been mapped (or enter the path network in Run and open it) and can ping other computers on the network, so I don't think that there is no problem with the network card, and it happens on different computers with different network cards 4 so it is hard to believe that everything has been corrupted somehow. The only thing I can think is that I have automatic updates turned on and maybe MS has released an update that caused this problem.

  Has anyone seen/heard something like that? Any ideas what could be the cause or how to fix this? Measures to try? This isn't a critical issue, as I said I can still access shared folders, just map them or something, it's just frustrating that something that used to work find just stopped, suddenly, with no good reason and everything I can think told still seems to be fine...

  Thanks in advance!

  Thanks for the reply.  I would in fact already found this page through previous research and tried some of the suggestions out there on several of my computers (no luck).  However, the problem is that this page is for lack of network connections and is not really my problem.  My network connections appears fine, it's just the shared network folders that do not appear in "my network places".  I can still access it directly (mapping the path to a file, or enter the path in 'Run'), but I don't have the ability to browse the network more.

  I just wanted to point that the issue seems to have resolved itself, on all computers.  No idea what caused it or what fixed it, but it's that everything works well again.  Thank you Jack for trying to help!

• Why are my other computers not visible in "my network places"?

  OS: Win XP Home, XP Pro, Win 7 - my problem is with the installation of apparently weak network of the window (I don't know the correct terms)

  This had listen to me for years because I learned how to set up a small home network.

  I have 5 computers in my home office, all members of a WORKING group, and all with the same line DSL for internet access; I use a DSL modem connected to a wired router / wireless when a print server is also connected: I don't have a problem with internet access and printer at all (thank God for that).

  What bothers me a lot, is that a computer is visible intermittently in the network: I have a desktop computer that serves as my main production machine, an old IBM T23 used so much that my music server, 2 other laptops (XP & W7) and a desktop Apple computer.  That's what music/T23 server intermittently visible/available - what happens in the world is going on here?

  For once, I used Ubuntu & OpenSUSE and I never had this problem - i.e. all computers are ALWAYS visible and all records are accessible - ALWAYS (that made me say earlier that the installation of the network of the window is low).

• PC can ping but cannot see themselves in my network places

  I have a network with several client computers running Windows XP with a network disk server. They could see themselves in my network places and access to shared content until we changed Internet provider. Since this moment PC is not mutually exclusive in My Network places.

  I have searched for the solution, including Microsoft Answers and tried many solutions for this or similar problem but have failed in this case.

  That's what I've tried so far.

  I checked the properties of the network adapter and the following features are enabled: Client for Microsoft Networks, file sharing and print.

  All PCs have the Windows Firewall and 'File and Print sharing' is in expectations, which means that the ports 135 139 are open and in addition, it means that the computer browser service is activated automatically.

  I tried the two NetBIOS Over TCP/IP and the default options (settings use NetBIOS on the DHCP server).

  On the PC, there are shared content with read and write permissions.

  It implies that all PCs are in the same workgroup.

  What should I do next to get that this corrected? Or what should review again?

  Thank you in advance.

  I have just one more question. Why is it important to have ports 137-139 are open on the router if it is a local traffic (Layer 2)?

  That is a good question.  Everything worked fine until the router has been changed, you are not double natting and all machines are getting the router DHCP addresses (no static address on any of the workstations) so we can pretty much eliminate the errors of subnetting or navigation on subnets as a possible cause.  The only thing that has changed is the router, nothing has changed on the desktop, so I can't believe that the router is blocking NetBIOS local, I don't know where the problem would be a lie.  If you still have the old router connect machines in it and see if things are working properly.  But you're right, you wouldn't open the NetBIOS ports to the external network, I just think that something in the router is blocking NetBIOS.

  With regard to the Master Browser, General guidelines:

  • Make sure that all the machines are on the same subnet and same (correct) subnet mask.  NetBIOS can navigate across subnets without additional hardware or without a WINS server.  If all the machines are on the same subnet, but if the subnet mask is not properly configured the master browser may not work correctly.   These steps here are not usually a problem when all the machines are configured to obtain their IP addresses automatically and you have a router handling DHCP, if you assign static addresses do not neglect this important notice.
  • Select which machine will act as a preferred master browser and who can act as potential explorers, ensure that any machine not chosen to act as one of the above does not participate in the elections "browser."  Assigns the functions of master browser favorite to a machine that is always and usually always on, functions of "Potential Browser", a machine which is also usually under tension, a machine that can take charge if the favorite computer is not enabled.  DISABLE the master browser on all other machines, a machine is rarely turned on is a bad candidate for duties of master browser and can just cause of 'browser war '.

  Disabling the computer browser service will indeed prevent a machine to participate in the elections of browser and become a master browser, but the proper way to disable the master browser is by defining the IsDomainMaster 'False' value and the MaintainServerList value to 'No' to the key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Browser\Parameters.

  On the preferred Master browser set the IsDomainMaster value 'True' and the 'Yes' MaintainServerList to.  On the potential browser set the IsDomainMaster 'False' value and worth MaintainServerList on 'Auto '.  Unless the computer is configured as the preferred master browser, the value of the IsDomainMaster entry still has the value False or No .

  But then, everything worked fine before the change in router, it stopped working after the new router was introduced into the network, so I don't see how the master browser settings have changed, everything seems to be pointing the router again.  Have you looked at the event journal relevant errors?

  I think that the ISP routers are fine for limited use, but otherwise I don't really like the networks handling small office/work, I always prefer to have ones own router and placing the ISP router mode bridge, this way he usually is the least disruption possible to the network job when dealing with questions of the ISP.

• Why do I get message not delivered on my SMS

  Why do I get message not delivered on my SMS

  Because they were not delivered for some reason any!

  Make sure that you connect to your cellular network (if you are using SMS), and that you have a data connection as well (if you use iMessage).

  In addition, call the intended recipient and ask that they check the same.

  You can also turn off and on your phone.

  Then test some messages.

• Why an I get the test page yellow and black with each print job. I have a HP PSC 1350

  Why an I get the test page yellow and black with each print job? I have a HP PSC 1350

  Hi - I assume that the page that you see printed is the alignment page.  This happens usually if the alignment process has not been made.  All you should have to do is take the printed alignment page and place it face down on the scan scanner glass and press.  Who must complete the alignment process and eliminate the page printing every time.  If you have problems, try following the procedure described in this document.

  Hope that helps.

• Problem with the Explorer Windows XP (Home) to explore a network place

  I can set up a network and get a path to the root with no problems. I can also directly access the http address via my web browser (Chrome).

  When I navigate to the network place in Windows Explorer and try to explore the path I get the error message "the current operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error has occurred" the same process on my laptop XP pro works fine.

  I think that it all depends on WebDAV.  Any ideas on how to fix it please? I've been through Art 287402 without success.
  The main difference between the two XP machines (outside the Home and Pro) is that the Pro machine still has installed Office97 Pro while the Home machine has Office 2010 Pro installed. Both machines have Explorer 8 is installed even though Chrome is used both as a browser.
  Thank you

• The working groups in my network places became inaccessible.

  The working groups in my network places became inaccessible.  I can reach the individual computers if I type the name or IP address, but I can't seem to them through network neighborhood.  Is there a setting somewhere hand who has caused this?  He used to work very well, this has only started happening in the last two weeks.  It began with a single computer not being able to be seen and grew up in the area of network together.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hi Mike,.

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         You get the error message?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Follow these steps:

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

  Step 2: If the problem does not still in safe mode, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state of the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

  (a) click Start, run.

  (b) type msconfigand click OK.

  (c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

  (d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.

  (e) when you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  Method 2: Temporarily disable the security software.

  Note: 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.

  Method 3: Follow the steps in the article.

• The files in My Network Places keep endangered

  Our 5 and 1 server systems are hard wire networked. 6 all units are under XP something. I'm running Pro. Several months ago I have had to open my network places, and then went to the other room to get a number of drawing I got on the server. When I returned, the MNP window was still open, but all the icons disappeared. Nothing but white was left in their place. I tried opening and closing the window a couple of times which didn't help, then I rebooted a couple times and that didn't help either. About an hour later, I opened MNP again and the connection that I had needed was the only link that came. After a bit, I closed the window of the MNP and reopened. This time 3 icons came. At the end of the day, everything was back to normal. Maybe twice since not all icons will present, but everything would be back to normal very soon. This morning, I had windows of the NPM to open, had one of the connections open and worked in one of the folders when simply disappeared. No one else here seems to be affected by this problem. Suggestions, ideas or comments that all care to provide everything that can happen and of course suggestions for corrective actions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.

• A network place Wizard accepts no ftp

  I have a problem with the Wizard "Add preferred network." I tried to connect to the server from my site so that I can update my site. The wizard 'Add network place' won't accept the ftp address. I used the format prescribed 'ftp://ftp. ___. ___ ». When I click on the button 'Next', an error box appears and says "folder that you entered doesn't seem to be valid. I used the wizard to set up a place to network before but now it doesn't seem to work. The wizard is defective? If this is the case, where can I go to download a new one. I'm on Windows XP SP3. It was so easy for me to update my site through a box of Windows Explorer, but given that the network connection appears to be scrambled, I'll have to use an ftp program. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

  I've never used the Wizard add a network place, so I can't pretend to know why it does not work for you, but why not use a different FTP Client free applications available:

  Personally, I use an old version of WS_FTP, which is good enough for my limited use of ftp... but WS_FTP is no longer free.

• XP loses the visibility of other machines on my network to "My Network Places" after plugging in USB audio dongle.

  I have a XP Home Edition laptop with defective onboard sound, so I bought a sound card USB (dongle). Before using the dongle, I could still access the shared files on my other machines through "My Network Places" (NPM). However, when I plug the audio dongle (which uses the driver USB audio generic Microsoft) other machines on my network are accessible to only a few minutes, after which they are no longer visible through MNP. I can still map remote shared folders to a drive letter in Windows Explorer, and Internet access is not affected. Once the remote computers have disappeared from the NPM, they don't come back again after a reboot, or even after you use the System Restore tool to return to a State before that the dongle is connected. The only way I can get MNP working again is to restore the c: full since a backup of the image. (Fortunately, my personal files are in a separate drive of the Windows operating system partition.)

  Apart from the use of the dongle, are there other ways to get the NPM in order to see the other machines on my network in a consistent way?

  I don't have a solution to the problem of MNP, but I have a possible workaround.  To access another computer when MNP is not running, click Start > run , type the name of the computer in the box as shown below and click OK :

• There are no property in UPnP device M1000 in my network places?

  I have a name M1000 sometimes classified in bookmarks network Upnp device.  Because XP sees this device, he notified me the first time when he installed it.  I have a Qwest dsl, M1000 model, with firewall settings modem, set the setting 'high' by default.  Is this the same device?

  Open my network places shows a network icon (part of the time.)  When I right click on this generic icon, select Properties, Windows will tell me that this device does not exist on my network, and no properties are also available.   Invocation (whatever it is) does not work either.  Close and then reopen it will lead to a non-compliant behavior.  Never the window reappears.

  When this is done, restarting the computer will always cause explorer.exe suspended and restart will hang unless I force close using the box leave the program explore.

  Why is this happening?

  Other than this issue, XP works fine.

  Bill Sanderson,

  Thank you for your response.  I don't think it was supposed to be here, either.  Since I wrote, there has been no other incidents with the computer hooked to restart.  Maybe install Windows Defender helped?  I also use Sandboxie in most browsing situations.
