Win 8 homegroup sharing with password issue

I have a few systems of windows 8 and I have joined in a homegroup. My question is, how can I do ask for a password when accessing the share? I've already enabled in advanced sharing settings of password protected sharing.

Thank you for your answer, but I used the option of sharing folder for all my actions, but my other computers never requested a password when I access shares.

... But you use a homegroup, and this is what is passed, the credentials for the homegroup.  If you want to use standard network folder sharing, do not share the folder through the residential group option.
 
In other words - if you want to be prompted for a network share of user name and password (valid user name and password you set up on the machine sharing the folder and gave permissions for the folder in question - the share permissions and file/folder) then you must STOP sharing this folder via homegroup on this computer and share it using Standard network share.

    How to share files or folder between XP, Vista & seven... must password protected
    My vista and my friend seven sharing very well, is password protected and I would like to add another XP at the center network and sharing as well, but I find the xp you have a problem, it can make sharing with vista & seven only without password protected and I would like to know how can I do with password protected sharing.

    It show no permission, but suppose that displays the prompt for credentials...

    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!

  • Windows 7 homegroup starter tries to connect to the other win 7 homegroup not working does not as expected

    I have two samsung n140 NetBook, both come with Windows 7 starter, I try to get things homegroup networking.

    I have set up with the default values at the same time to share the photo, video files etc under homegroup sharing.

    He was asked to create a password for homegoup I did it (could have come because I have a NetBook connected initially to a pc running win 7 ultimate, which is where I created a homegroup password but this pc is no longer connected to the network, it's just two samsung netbooks)

    in any case when I connected this other netbook with the first he asked me the homegroup password that was entered successfully by me. However, nothing has been free since. These two netbooks running win7 are the only PCs in my home group.

    Ive managed to get to a point where in the record of the house band that netbook names are displayed in eachothers homegroup however is listed in network for the group shares residential eachother trying to access the network.

    Can I cannect for both computers on the network in the way outdated by sharing folders and access the network folder in my network places and can read and write, but not in the home group.

    Homegroup is where I want to control networking not by any other means, I would be very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction please or if its win 7 starter limit myself from network access to the homegroup.

    Thank you very much

    Hey fatfei,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

    I want to erase some of the basics of networking in Windows 7 Starter edition.

    You cannot create a homegroup to a computer running Windows 7 Starter Edition. You can reach only a HomeGroup existing of the starter edition.
    This must be one of the restrictions placed on you while trying to connect the two starter edition of Windows 7 homegroup.

    So the only option left out here is upgraded to another version of Windows 7 that supports creating HomeGroup via Windows Anytime Upgrade or stick to the way they are connected at present.

    For more information, please read this article.

  • HP EliteBook 850 G1 - Win Pro - Computrace conflict with HP Client Security Manager 8.1 8.1

    Hello

    I tried to install the software HP Computrace (International) SP64143 c. 8.3.0.5 (November 12, 2013) on my G1 of 850 EliteBook after upgrade to Win 8.1 Pro, but I get the following error:

    "The security application can be installed up to what the HP Client Security Manager 8.1 is installed"

    Please note that I do not installed the Hp Client Security Package Manager and some other similar programs appear to be installed.

    What is this supposed to do? Give access to the function of Lojack (the new name Computrace)? I also wonder if it would be a relevant problem to activate the service of Absolute Software Lojack.

    Help, please... Thank you

    Caramel thanks for pointing me in the right direction to achieve the final solution!

    After a few experiences, it's my final conclusion: HP distributes two different service packs that have the same:

    • name SP64339.exe
    • version (8.3.1.1714 (November 20, 2013) and)
    • Description on the web page (HP Client Manager Security)

    but * ILS DO NOT HAVE THE SAME CONTENT AND APPLICATIONS *. If access you the link you gave me:

    https://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=5405369&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3Didx%253D%257CswItem%253Dob_125837_1%257CswEnvOID%253D4132%257CitemLocale%253D%257CswLang%253D%257Cmode%253D%257Caction%253DdriverDocument&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

    #1: a system Win Pro 8, the HP Server allow you to download a file that has:

    • Description of the file: HP Client Manager improved offer a Windows login Security...
    • File version: 4.0.100.1189
    • Size 148 MB
    • This corresponds to the full-fledged HP customer Security Manager (CSM) implemented by Digital Persona Inc..

    #2: a Win 8.1 Pro system, the HP Server allow you to download a file that has:

    • No Description of file
    • File version: 4.0.100.1189
    • Size 90.6 MB
    • This corresponds to the HP SimplePass application created by Softex Inc., a very basic site password Program Manager.

    Just after installation on the OS Win 8 Pro the CSM HP put implemented by Digital Persona Inc., I was also able to install the Computrace patch (SP64143.exe) smoothly. It is a distinct and different from the SP64339 SP and it allows to Absolute Software access to the features of the Intel anti-theft technology.

    Please note that this give HP CSM access you the function of connection of fingerprints and others.

    The problem that I saw earlier, it is that in Win 8.1 Pro is due to the fact that the SimplePass application does not support the Computrace agent. so I tried to install on my Elitebook with Win 8.1 Pro the SP64339 even system 850 downloaded previously using a HD different mounting an OS Win 8 Pro and... here, everything seems to install and works great even on Win 8.1 Pro.

    The main question are:

     

    1. why HP did end with the distribution of their security HP Client Manager?

     

    2 what problems is I meet on Win 8.1 Pro with the Security HP Client Manager designed for Windows 8 Pro?

    I suppose I could run into some problem if I change the pwd of my login, even if outllok.com... Web site it would generate a disallignment on the connection of access controlled, managed by the CSM from HP on my PC...

    Thanks a lot again for your GREAT help!

    By default in XP Home you can only files and folders under My Documents "private". Otherwise, to display the Security tab in Windows XP Home, restart in safe mode and log on with an account that has administrator privileges. Go in Safe Mode, press the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get the menu where you can choose Safe Mode.

    Note that the file system must be NTFS, FAT32 not.

    Passwording of folders is not possible unless you their zip. When you do (right click on a folder, then "send to > compressed folder") and then open the zip file, you will find an option under file > "add a password." Otherwise, use a third-party software. Google "password protect folders".

  • Satellite A300-1OM - Media sharing with XBox 360

    I'll have some real problems share my media with my Xbox 360 using my home wireless network.

    I used to connect my 360 to the internet via internet sharing with my laptop connected via Ethernet. I now borrow a wireless adapter for the 360 that still lets connect me to the internet on the 360, but I can no longer access my portable music library or find a PC Windows Media Centre when searching for the network on my 360.

    My laptop is running Windows 7 64 bit. When I display 'network' appears from my own laptop, my second laptop computer connected to the network is also shown, and the 360 is also indicated in the devices section of media. Under 'Options of Streaming Media' my 360 is also listed and given full access to my portable media.

    When my laptop is connected directly to my 360 via Ethernet the music library and video library works great, like Windows Media Center.

    Anyone know of any solution to this problem? I guess it will just be a problem with some settings on my laptop as opposed to a problem with my Xbox. Any advice much appreciated!

    Hey bradleyheap,

    To be honest it is very difficult to answer your question. In my opinion, you should ask question biotechnology in Xbox forum o somewhere else. I think that it is not related to Toshiba

    Anyway, if everything works with the LAN cable, you should check the firewall options. Try turning off the Windows Firewall and update the driver WLAN from your laptop.

    Sorry, but everything that s what I can say at the moment.
