Win 7 drops of mapped to xp drives

I have a mixed PC peer-to-peer network composed of two Win 7 PC and two XP PC using a wired router.  I have created a shared folder on one of the machines Win 7 (mapped drive folder) so that all the computers on the network can access this folder.  I created a homegroup on the Win 7 machine with the shared folder with all permissions and sharing options.  Initially, the shared folder and the network operated correctly.

The problem is the opportunity, the Win 7 machine with the shared folder abandons its connection to XP machines but it
never give up his connection to the other Win 7 machine.  The fall usually occurs during the night.  When the connection between XP and Windows 7 machine with the commune
file is deleted, you can reconnect from a XP machine by just double click on the drive mapped on the machine to Win 7 XP; You must restart the
Win 7 machine for sharing to start functioning properly on the network.  I have studied this problem largely on the internet and tried a lot of
options, but nothing fixes the problem affecting the Win 7 machine never sleep including.  It has something to do with the Win 7 computer, drop the connection and not with the machinery because XP only when the connection is dropped, the machines XP not to see the Win 7 computer on the network.

I should also mention that I tried to change the setting up a homegroup on the Win 7 machine with the shared folder for the workgroup and nobody on the network
could see the Win 7 machine with the shared folder?  I also put the flag of automatic disconnection on all machines with no luck as well.  Sharing files and printing are defined
correctly on all machines.

Any suggestion would be appreciated... * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  • Error 0x800704b3 when you try to map a network drive

    Hello

    I have the following error message when you try to map a network drive in my home network:
    "\\iomegahmd cannot be reached" and the error code is 0x800704b3.

    I already looked in the services, and my strong assumption is that the problem is that 'TCP/IP NetBIOS Assistance' service is not statrted and it is disabled. When I try to start it, there is an error message:
    "The system could not find the specified path".

    I also checked the dependency of the 'TCP/IP NetBIOS Assistance' service components:
    Auxiliary function for Winsock driver
    NetBT
    TCP/IP protocol driver
    NetIO-legacy-TDI Support driver
    in the Device Manager is running, but they are all running. Startup is set to 'system '.

    Under the properties of version 4 of TCP/IP Internet of the wireless device, under Advanced-> WINS I ve put enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP, but it helps t is not either.

    What else could try, so that I can map network drives?

    I should also mention, that the problem persists for a few weeks. Before, it was working properly. In addition, on other computers on my network I don't have access to the same network drive problem.

    Thanks in advance,
    Tithe

    > I should also mention that the problem persists for a few weeks. Before, it was working properly.

    It of difficult to say what's wrong in your case. My first idea is: put installation beginning point of time before this error appeared.

    I recommend also to disable all security software and check if you experience the same problem.
    If you still experience the problem, then follow the link to fix the damaged user profile.

  • System error 50 occurred... during the mapping of network drive with a batch file.

    I have several computers on a home network with WiFi and Ethernet access to a NAS network.

    Using a batch file, card readers network at startup, etc.
    A for (I have 4) computers fails to map the network drive.  All other computers work fine with the same batch file.
    Specifically, when the following command has been executed in the batch file:

    The network path was not found.

    Have you been able to solve the problem?

    System Error Codes are very broad. Each of them can occur in one of hundreds of locations in the system. As a result, the descriptions of these codes cannot be very precise.

  • A computer on Win7 Home premium able to map a network drive on a computer in a different domain?

    A computer on Win7 Home premium able to map a network drive on a computer in a different domain? Or is this a limitation of the home premium? In addition, the computer I have tries to map running Win7 ultimate.

    If I am not mistaken (I reserve that right!), Home Premium cannot be joined to a domain and the OP also indicates to gain access to resources in a different domain. Thus, according to trusts in place or VPN connections, it could be a challenge. Where did the idea of using something easy of access/sharing of resources.

    Otherwise, you need to set the resources to allow access of the anon/no authenticated user.

  • Win 7, games and graphics glitches/display driver stops resonding

    It is essentially, while the game (WoW or Borderlands in my case) there will be a variety of glitches that occur. I know not just the terms for each of them, but it's going is going to be whatever it is grids of colored seemingly random pixels (pink and green often enough) polygons is extended into madness and whatnot, often accompanied by the "display driver xxx has stopped working...» "(yes I see it a lot and still do not remember the exact wording: /). Pixel an individual will persist even after everything is closed and I'm back on the desktop. In addition, these do not occur immediately and I have no real way to predict when it will happen across that anywhere from 5 minutes to... hours for the first time and the computer seems to be more sensitive then to the point where I'm going to try to play WoW and have the message "display driver has stopped working etc." appears once every 10-15 seconds. Now it's all when I put in very low or setting graphics parameters as low as possible. If I change to something more moderate or what I * think * my computer must be able to manage, I run the risk of having a blue screen.

    OS: Win 7 64 bit (says build 7600)
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16 GHz 2.83 Ghz (copied from my system page)
    Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT

    The drivers are all to date and stuff overheating is certainly not a problem (map revolves around 52C - 56 c, lower when there is no game product). I thought it was a heat issue at the time where I got it and my dressing at the time (who curiously seems to have worked until recently) has been to increase the speed of the fan and run graphics with minimal adjustments. I checked my memory sticks, and those who seem to be good as well... both of things I tried to figure out/deal with that there is probably another thing I checked and I do not forget to mention. Any idea or ideas would be wonderful.

    Try reducing harware acceleration.

    1. open the screen resolution by clicking on the Start button, Control Panel, and then, under appearance and personalization, click on adjust the screen resolution.
    2. click on advanced settings, click the Troubleshooting tab, and then click on change settings.
    Note that some video card drivers do not allow allows you to change the settings.
    3. move the hardware acceleration slider to none to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.

    Kind regards.

  • How to install Win 8 on Satellite C850 after HARD drive failure?

    I have a PC repair business and a customer gave me a portable Satellite C850-1 kN which took a catastrophic hard disk failure (just clicking from the road).

    I replaced the hard drive and tried to boot from a DVD 8 Windows, changing the order of startup in the bios, however, it still gives an error message "no boot device."

    I see no way to turn off boot UEFI, it appears grayed out in the configuration of the bios.

    How can I reinstall Windows on this laptop?

    First, you must know that the (CSM/UEFI mode) parameter must be changed if you want to install the system supported UEFI not (Win 7 and higher).
    Win 8 and 8.1 Win are UEFI capable systems and you should be able to use the option to UEFI mode.

    What about the secure boot option?
    Have you found and have you tried to disable this option?
