• Homegroup problem: computer cannot see the computer B, but B can see A

  I have two computers.  A race 7-Home Premium 64-bit computer is connected to the network via a wireless-N.  7-Home Premium 32 bit computer B is wired.  Computer has created the homegoup.  Computer B can see computer A and can send files to A computer and retrieve them.  However computer cannot see at all computer B.

  I'm sharing files on both computers.  Not sure what the problem is.

  Hi Hunt72,

  Can you ping the computer from computer B?

  Can you start computer in Mode safe mode with networking and see if she can see computer B? If it still does not work, do the same with computer B.

  Do you know how to use netmon to capture the activities of the network?  If so, download it and run it by trying to send files between computers, take note of all connections rejected or denied.

• Cannot see other computers on my network

  Santa brought me a new laptop for Christmas.  I'm now 4 laptop computers on a network.  two are Windows XP home and turn in XP Pro and it is Windows 7 starter.  I have everything in the same workgroup and put the new in this group as well.  Sometimes I can connect to others of my new machine, and sometimes I can't.  Not sure why.  Also, I have tried to share folders of the new machine, but cannot open them on other machines.  Of course, since I've not had much experience with 7 I have a bit of a problem to determine what to do next.  Can anyone help?

• EA6500 - Canon sx510HS - connects, then disk - camera cannot see the network

  Ok. Previously, I had a Netgear WNDR3300 and the device connected to the G network without problem and is remained connected. When I use the EA6500.

  First of all, I see the network 2.4 comments when I search a network on the camera. I don't see the 2.4 or 5 ghz network. WPS will not find the camera and vice versa. Even if I try the PIN issued by the camera.

  Secondly, when I manually add the camera to the network and enter the password, it connects for about 15 seconds then disconnects.

  In the third place. When you use the option 'synchronize', the networks are not yet seen by the camera, but the camera connects to the network that I added manually, as in question 2, and stay tuned for a long time, however, it is necessary for the sync/copy all the new images in a folder on my pc.

  So I'm puzzled as to why the camera connected so easily with the netgear and this Linksys EA6500 he will not keep the connection. any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Hi mtbmesa,

  How far is the camera of your router? Outside the camera you have other wireless devices that connects very well with the router? What is the brand of the camera?

  Try these settings:

  SSID: must be different for 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHz

  Network mode: mixed

  Security mode: WPA2/WPA mixed personal

  Channel width: 20 MHz

  Channel: 3, 6 or 9

  I would like to know if it works.

• New Win 7 computer cannot access the IP address of the network printer. Help, please.

  Greetings,

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  UPDATE: we have found the solution to this problem, we, and that I posted an explanation as well as two ways to solve the problem in my 2nd post on May 5, 2015. Scroll down to it for the solution. Unfortunately, Microsoft does not allow the OP to mark one of their own messages as 'the Answer' so this thread continues to be listed as "no answer" when he actually answered me.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The original message follows...

  We cannot sign a new Win 7 (64-bit) computer to a printer ethernet established in our local network of 'working '. We have reached the limit of our troubleshooting skills and expertise assistance.

  Our Local network
  ------------------------
  The printer is a Dell 5100cn workgroup laser that is connected via an ethernet cable to a 10/100 workgroup switch 5-port Cisco/Linksys. The switch is connected to the built-in cable Motorola modem / 4 port gigabit router / WiFi access point. There is no server between the printer and the network.

  Other computers on the network run also Win 7 and have no trouble seeing and using the printer. Some computers are connected via a gigabit ethernet cable to the router Motorola. Other computers connect wireless WiFi (once again, by the same Motorola device). All computers, including the new ones, are attributed to the same workgroup.

  The printer has a static IP address. It also has an integrated Web page accessible within the network via a browser to view the status of the printer. All previous computers can view the status of the printer Web page by entering its IP address in a browser.

  The new Win 7 computer
  --------------------------------
  At the Windows command prompt, we successfully ping the IP address of the printer and received a return signal. However, we are unable to connect to the IP address of the printer (and status Web page) with a browser. And we cannot find the printer when install us the printer driver. We have tried to turn off the Windows Firewall and it did not help.

  When we install the driver, move us as a 'local' printer and create a new "Standard TCP/IP Port" for her. We enter the static IP address of the printer and name the port. Define us the Protocol to "LPR", enter the name of the queue ("lp") and activate SNMP State with name of the 'public' community and the index "1". These settings have worked very well with our previous computers.

  When the time comes to 'choose printer', we select 'have disk... '. ' and use the Dell 64-bit for this printer driver. But it does not work and do not print a test page. We even tried to install the printer as a 'network' printer driver, but it does not, either. In addition, the 'local' method always seemed to work best in the past.

  The new computer has no harm to see other computers and devices on the network. For example, there is a NAS connected to the same switch Cisco/Linksys like the printer and the computer can access the NAS via its static IP address. The new computer can also access the internet. He can't use the IP address of the printer. We even tried to change the address IP of the printer, but that did not help either.

  Despite the fact that the work - the network troubleshooter Windows command prompt ping indicates that the printer is not responding. What do we lack? Help, please.

  Greetings,

  I hope that this will be our last post on this subject. We have discovered the source of the problem and can offer two 'fixed' in case someone else runs into the same situation.

  With the help of MSConfig and a process of elimination, we have disabled non-Microsoft services that were running on the computer until we discovered that "Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service V2" was the source of the problem.

  Explanation

  ----------------

  Our new Win 7 computer contains a communication module ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth e2200 Qualcomm Atheros. The manufacturer provides a '' Killer Network Manager '' for this system. Its purpose is to monitor and control the flow of data over a network connection in order to optimize for. For example, the user can choose to give the program A high priority and program-B low priority. This ensures that the program-A is less lag in the network traffic.

  The primary market for this function, so far, has been the online game (where the name of 'Killer'). It allows players to channel the bulk of the bandwidth available to their game and away from other programs and services that are running at the same time. A response faster online gives the player the advantage it needs to get "kill him" before someone else.

  This system of control of bandwidth has interfered with data packets of return of our network, clearing communication between our computer and our printer printer.

  Difficulty 1

  --------------

  The simplest solution for us was to disable 'Qualcomm Atheros bandwidth control' for the ethernet NIC that has been accomplished by going to: Windows Control Panel > network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > change the settings of the card (in the sidebar). Then we clicked on our connection to the LAN (our NETWORK ethernet card) and select the 'Properties' command Finally, on the Networking tab, we have disabled 'Qualcomm Atheros control bandwidth' and clicked 'OK' button to close.

  All that was needed after that was a quick restart and we were able to access our printer even with the killer Network Manager and functioning of Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service V2.

  Either way, we left the control function of bandwidth enabled for wireless (our) network connection because we do not plan on using this network printer when the computer is untethered to ethernet.

  Difficulty 2

  --------------

  If you don't want the killer running Network Manager on your computer, you may be tempted to uninstall. Do not! Uninstall will also uninstall the drivers needed for your ethernet, WiFi and possibly your Bluetooth as well. We heard that some users have communicated with Qualcomm and were able to coax, on their part, the necessary drivers comm without luggage "Killer". But you don't need to do it, either.

  All you need to do is: (1) remove the 'Killer Network Manager' of the '"start up" folder of the start menu of Windows (under "programs") and (2) using MSConfig, uncheck "Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service V2" under the ' Services ' section. Then reboot and you're good to go. The killer Network Manager and his service will not work.

  Moreover, the reason for which we did not chose this method, ourselves, is because we see one deserves that available Killer Network Manager so that we can block network traffic to select programs. Solution 1 converts this easy thing because the Ethernet bandwidth control can be quickly activated again if she is ever desired. And we're leaving it enabled for our WiFi.

• VMWARE cannot see the network

  I just installed VMWare Server ESXi 4.0 server on my server. I have installed the management network, however, I am not able to ping to the gateway of the service console or any other ip address that is on the same network. Are there other settings I need to change?

  Thank you

  When on the server host itself, using its screen, keyboard, etc., (the color screen four) enter the management network and ensure that the IP address is assigned, with the server DNS (IP) address and the gateway for your network too. Make sure that all DNS settings are correct (in the supplementary lists) and ensure at least one NIC is listed for the management network.

  What do we get results when you use "Test network management? Do you have a VLAN in network management? If you did, try removing this setting (at least for now).  Also, make sure that the host is in your direct DNS lookup tables correctly. I had to manually add the host ESX/ESXi servers here before, because DNS servers taking too long to discover hosts, and I didn't have several hours waiting to connect to them.

  Also try restarting the management directly from the host network.

  With the correct settings on the host and the entry in DNS, you should be able to connect to the host, either through it's IP of the FULL domain name.

  I would also make sure that the cables have been executed properly at the back of the server host to your local network... Confirm that you have the correct port to the switch/network segment and that it can communicate to the rest of the LAN...

• I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer.

  I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer. The computers are connected by a switch, fixed IP addresses that are correctly configured and point to a DNS server outside the network. When I try to open the icon for one of the computers, he asked for credentials. I try to type the user name for the computer that is sharing the resource and the password. It is the user account whose computer is loged on and belongs to the Administrators group. for example: user name (Computer1\username) password (password). It does not work. The Windows Firewall is disabled on all computers. It worked well there 2 days. I can't find anything wrong with the network settings. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

  If the portion of the machine has activated - Simple file sharing (i.e. it is XP Home or it is XP Pro with Simple (default) file sharing) - while all file sharing connections authenticate as user 'guest '.  It will not matter what username / password you provide, it will attempt to authenticate as 'guest '.  If the guest user has received a password or the guest account is not active, you will experience the symptoms you describe.

  If the serving machine running XP Pro and Simple file sharing is disabled, then you should be able to connect by specifying the user as computer\user and the password to connect.  To turn off Simple file sharing:

• Whenever I start my computer, I see the message, "C:\Windows1\Kjoralir.dll" is missing.

  Whenever I start my computer, I see the message, "C:\Windows1\Kjoralir.dll" is missing.  This happened for several months, but I just ignored him.  Don't know if it's related, but a user cannot disconnect without pressing the Windows key and the "L" key at the same time.

  Tonight I ran a registry repair program, and it fixed a lot of errors.  But, always, the message came after a reboot.  I don't know what it is, what it does or how to remedy the situation. Can anyone help?

  Thank you!

  For the problem, Googling for this file appears your post. When you get no hits for a filename on Google, chances are high that it is a malicious program file. Either you have uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware program did. In all cases, a reference has been left in the boot file. You can remove the reference by managing your startup.

  Because you had a piece of malware, the chances are too high you had others. It would be a good idea to scan. I recommend to download and install MalwareBytes' anti-malware (MBAM) from http://www.malwarebytes.org . The program is free. (There is a paid version, but you don't need to buy it to remove the malware).

  Manage startup:

  (for XP) Start > run > msconfig [Enter]

  This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

• Cannot see other computers on my workgroup

  I wiped my computer "arizonahp" and did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.  Everything works fine except that it cannot see other computers on my working group (all current running xp) and they know more see 'arizonahp '.  I clear my name of working group "yorklan" in my computer.  Previously, arizonahp was a vista machine and he could see and be seen.

  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.

  In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

  Discovery of plug in the network
  Open the files and printers sharing
  Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
  Plug the password protected sharing

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, running on Windows 7 sharing files and printer as above will take care of this for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then 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. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. 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:

  Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

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

  E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Thanks for the help, but it did not help.

  I found the answer on page 2 of microsoft answers, xp, images and videos.

  6 questions down, how to re install microsoft scanner and Camera Wizard.

  It turns out that some tech volunteer known as J (is it you?} came across the solution to my problem on this site:http://www.veiled-chameleon.com/weblog/archives/000231.html )

  I have used PC Cleaner on this xp, and I think he may have disabled some of the registry keys. For me, I had to start my pitcher of DCOM Server, RPC, Remote procedure Call Locator process and put them on automatic. Once I rebooted, everything works great.

  I'm so happy that tech Volunteer J, done everything search last December. I bet it helped a ton out of veterans with our cameras. How did he find veiled Chameleon? Wow he must be smart enough.
