Windows 7 cannot see my Mac on my home network

• Machines Vista cannot see the rest of the home network

  I don't know what's happened recently, but here's the thing.

  I have a home network, 1 Vista desktop, 1 Office XP with shared USB attached, 1 drive NAS (running Linux kernel I think). All devices set to the same workgroup 'HOUSE '. Until recently, I could see all the devices in the Vista machine with the selection of 'network' of the Explorer.

  Now I see that me, the wireless router, and if I turn it on, an another Vista laptop. The Vista laptop has the same situation - he sees only the vista desktop and router and anything else3.

  I can connect to the XP computer manually by entering \\computer_name\external_drive_name and even with the NAS drive. I can't see the with the Vista Explorer.

  I can't say exactly when it happened, but is has been in the last month. I see the console of restoration that there is an update Tuesday 4/11, but if I try to restore before this date of restoration fails.

  Discovery network, file sharing, etc., are always turned on. I tried to do a complete reset of the router but nothing helped.

  FYI - Norton of 365 security card option fortunately shows everything on the network, so I know that all devices are in the same workgroup.

  Any advice would be greatly welcome.

  I solved the problem with advice from another forum. I forced the desktop computer to become the master browser by setting 'MaintainServerList' in the registry for the 'yes' rather than 'auto '.

  I can now see all the connected devices.

• Windows 7 cannot see is not my SCSI disks when I try to install. As the IDE drive is showen but is not usable.

  Windows 7 cannot see is not my SCSI disks when I try to install. As the IDE drive is showen but is not usable. Is there a FDISK program that can be run to solve this problem from a command promt?

  Hello

  You try to access BIOS and change the SCSI to IDE in the BIOS or Raid in IDE and try to install Windows 7.

  If it fails, contact your SCSI manufacturer for the latest drivers for your SCSI and install it by clicking on load drivers and try to install Windows 7.

  Hope this helps and works.

• How is it, I can't see my iphone on my home network

  I am new to iphone, and I wonder why I can not see my iphone on my home network as I have my droid?

  See how?  In what context?

• How is it, windows XP or Windows 7 cannot see network drive?

  first of all, I have 5 computers.  Installed with Windows 7 installed with Vista and 1 2 3 MacBook Pro.  I created 1 network drive to more easily move files named "ShareMe.  All the protable can use the shared folder since I gave permission to everyone.  All the computer can use the network printer.  I installed Windows 7 on a Mac using VMware 2.0.5 and able to print using printer network with no problems.  I installed another Windows 7 on VMware Workstatin on a PC, and it can use the network also printer without any problems.

  (Everything is legitimate and so far I just was not updated to 2.0.6 because I heard a lot of things to have a slow speed)

  That is the problem, not an operating system that runs on VMware can't see my shared folder in the network, it cannot see networked host computer.   I speak not shared folder between VMware and the computer host.  Between the host and VMware are very well; However, I'm talking about that all shared folder the computer can see (folder ShareMe).

  All in the same workgroup

  Using NAT to network adapter

  Using NAT to network adapter

  This is the problem because it puts the virtual machine on a separate subnet, then the one on the host is.  Past to open and release/renew IP on each virtual Machine.

  Take a look at: Understanding Networking in VMware Fusion

  Tip: With a Machine virtual Windows switch between NAT and connected by a bridge or visa versa, can be made without restarting, or even by using ipconfig to release/renew the IP address.  Simply toggle the State connected/disconnected from the network of the <...>Network icon on the status bar from the type of network between the two. It takes but a few seconds and a few clicks and is faster and easier the alternative methods.

• Machine of Windows 7 cannot see itself or other computers on the network.

  I work with a volunteer organization, is attempting to add a new computer to their network. Add the new computer is a laptop running Windows 7 Professional (32-bit, 6.1 build 7601).

  It is one of the three computers that connect via a wireless network, with the remaining three computers connected by Ethernet.
  One of the laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 - bit, 6.1 build 7601) and the laptop rest and three desktop computers running XP Professional (5.1, build 2600).
  The laptop running Home Premium has no problem with connectivity. He can see himself and all the computers on the network (with the exception of the new Windows 7 Professional machine). The XP machines can all be seen and also the machine Windows 7 Home Premium.
  The Windows 7 Professional machine, however, cannot see itself, or one of the machines running on XP. It may, for some reason, see the Windows 7 Home Premium machine.
  I can ping each computer on the network from him and he can ping other computers. I can even connect using his IP address and access the folders and files shared like this, but nothing I have seems to change him will appear.
  I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials, neither of which has an effect any. The computers are all in the same workgroup and network machines Win 7 is set to work on both.
  I can't understand why this new computer should have these problems, I'm not a professional so there is probably something basic, I missed, but if anyone has any ideas I would be much obliged.
  Thank you very much.

  Hi moorebounce,

  If you use Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro or Kaspersky I.S., make sure sharing files and printers turned in THEIR Firewall (or LAN enabled, depending on how their Exceptions are formulated in their firewall) or you can temporarily disable the firewall and check.

• Windows 7 cannot see Raspberry Pi Samba Server

  Hello

  I have two Windows 7 computers portable and a raspberry on my network Pi domestic.  The Raspberry Pi is configured as a Samba server.  Both portable Windows can see folders and each other, but only one of the portable displays the IP on the network.

  As far as I can see, both Windows 7 machines are configured identically.  On the machine that does not see the IP, I tried to disable the firewall, but that makes no difference.

  How can I study and fix this please?

  Best regards

• still not get Windows 7 for Mac on the home network

  The question asked by several users, without satisfactory answer.  This seems to be a problem without a solution.

  I can't get my laptop Windows 7 see my Mac desktop on my home network wireless.  The laptop connects to the network very well and can access the Internet without problem.  But I can't connect the Windows PC to Mac to share files.  The Mac can see the PC and connect to it from the Mac side, so if I'm at the Mac I can drag files to the PC.  If I'm on the laptop, it is an island in the ocean.  Nothing can be seen anywhere on the network.  It is impossible to copy files to the Mac from the PC.

  There must be a Windows 7 problem.  I have another laptop running XP and it automatically connects to the Mac.

  Is this a bug of Windows 7 and this is why no one can explain how to solve this problem?  Mac forums are loaded with people having the same problem with their Windows 7 computers.

  Problem solved!

  PilotBob's suggestion did the trick for me. I was tearing my hair on all last night about why my Windows 7 (Ultimate) machine can access the files on my old MacBook Air for a year and not my two new OSX machines. When you try to access the new machines I kept getting an alert box saying connection failure and asks me to enter my username and password. Although they have identical accounts on all of my machines, I couldn't login to the new machines, OSX, even after you type the correct user name and password.

  The problem, it turns out, was that the Macbook Air has been configured to use the same working group as the Windows 7 machine (which I had imaginative name "WORKGROUP") and the new OSX machines did not use any group of work at all. Once I did that change, Windows 7 automatically connected the new OSX machines.

  My only point remaining dissatisfaction is that Windows 7 does not automatically captures the OSX machines on the subnet and the list under 'Network', as it does with my other Windows 7 machines. I have to enter the address of the OSX machine I want to access in the address bar of the file manager: i.e. "\\ComputerName" to see shared files on OSX machines. But once this is done, the OSX computers under network in file manager and remain there, and I can click on it to access all that is shared. I can live with that, even if, as John + 6154 pointed out, it seems that Microsoft could facilitate this. OSX automatically resumes all Windows machines on the subnet. So why can't Windows do the same? (My guess is that Microsoft will not be able to get away with this kind of arrogance much longer. "If things continue as they are it might soon be Microsoft touting that Windows plays nice with OSX, rather than OSX touting that it plays well with Windows.)

  In any case... taking into account the situation as it is, and adaptation of all the advice above with special credit to Malkeleah, here is what I believe is a complete list of what you need to do to allow access of file under OS Windows 7 x:

  On Windows 7:

  1. Configure a user account with a password
  2. Go to control panel > all items in the control panel > network and sharing Center, click on "change the advanced sharing settings" and make the following settings for any kind of network, you're on (probably home or work)
  3. Discovery of plug in the network
  4. Open the files and printers sharing
  5. Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
  6. Plug the password protected sharing
  7. Do not use "Homegroup" (he has a knack for spoiling your manual network settings)
  8. Make sure that your firewall allows traffic on your subnet to cross
  9. Identify the task force of your Windows machine by going to control panel > system and security > system. The name and the workgroup for your computer are displayed. You can change these if you have administrative privileges; Click on "Change settings" just to the right of the name of the computer. You will need the Working Group to set up your OSX machine.
  10. It seems you have to use Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition to make the work of file sharing. I have not tried with Home Premium.

  On OSX:

  1. Go to the Apple Menu > System Preferences
  2. Select users and groups
  3. Set up a user with the same username and password as on the Windows machine (there is a padlock at the bottom left that you may need to click to allow you to make changes - this appears for almost all settings in system preferences)
  4. You can, if you wish, set up an automatic connection as Malkeleah for Windows. Just click on "Connection Options" at the bottom of the list of users
  5. Go back to system preferences, and then select the network
  6. Click on the Advanced button
  7. Click TCP/IP and make sure that you are on the same IP subnet as the Windows machine: that is 192.168.XXX. YYY, where XXX represents the subnet identifier and YYY represents the identifier of the machine. (I believe you can access the machines on different subnets, but you need to search the full IP address rather than just the name of the computer.)
  8. Click on WINS and set the NetBios name of the computer you want and the Working Group for the same workgroup that the Windows machine.
  9. Say OK for everything, then return back in system preferences and select sharing
  10. Check the things you want to share (at least the file sharing)
  11. Highlight file sharing, click the button under file sharing options (right) and select share files and folders using SMB (Windows) and select the users for whom sharing must be enabled. (It does no harm to also click AFP (Apple File Protocol) to share with the other OSX machines.)
  12. Click done, and then add the folders that you want to share using the sign [+] and [-] buttons at the bottom of the window and users. You can specify the privileges of each user the name of the user.
  13. Return to the WINS settings and make sure that OSX has defined the name of working group. For some reason any this does not happen instantly. If it is empty, then it has not been set. I had to try and try again repeatedly before 'take '. But once there, he should stay there. You may have to restart, however.

  Finally, to access your OS x from Windows machine

  1. Open a Windows Explorer window
  2. In the address bar, type \\OSXComputerName, that is to say "\\Air" or something else
  3. If all goes well, your shared folders should appear immediately, no need to enter a password, the password of Windows 7 is the same.

  I hope this helps someone.

• Cannot access shared folders on the home network.

  Until a few days ago, I had a successful network operation consisting of two Vista Home premium computers and two XP Home.  I have not had problems with opening files or folders before, but now I find I can access shared files and folders on the computer units XP vista, but cannot open the computers XP Vista of the units of the.  I get the following message:

  \\user-D5139A8DF2\desktop on IBM 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.

  Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

  I checked the registry as suggested, computers are all on a home network with the same workgroup name.  One solution I found in the forums has to do with my anti-virus Norton N360, but as all my computers are using the same version of that I'm uncertain or not to change the settings.  It's very frustrating.  Can anyone offer a solution or suggestion, please?

  Hello

  It might be Norton.

  If not for "insufficient server memory is available to process this command."

• Tecra A10 - refurbished - cannot get it connected to my home network

  I just got this Tecra A10-104 refurbished Laptop... before I take this back I ask here in case where theres something I missed as I am unable to get it connected to my home network.

  I use a Belkin wireless router that has 2 main (LAN) directly connected PC and another PC connected wireless.
  It's my router: http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=9238&scid=0

  All PC connected and fine work.
  Now I'm setting up this laptop to connect.

  I uninstalled the Vista Business and ussed the product recovery disc that came with the Tecra XP Pro.

  Is my wireless card: Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 5100 (pilot Date: 27/04/2008 - the driver Version: 12.0.0.73)

  He sees the network, but no matter what I try just does not connect.

  What I've done so far (read before suggesting things I've already tried):

  Reconfigured routers WPS to the shared key system.

  Ensured that the wireless adapter's parameters defined at 20 / 40 Hz (automatic)

  Restarted the router, cable modem & laptop several times

  Laptop wireless button is turned on.

  FN + F8 to activate BLUETOOTH WIFI (ON) (OFF)

  Wireless network added to settings Auto Connect with the end SSID and password encryption method.

  Click on connect when network appear in the revamped network and Password Viewer dialog.

  Does not.

  I would add that the laptop has no problem connecting via its Gigabit LAN port.

  Something else I'm missing?

  Thanks in advance.

  EDIT: Double post deleted.

  UPDATE:

  The next thing I tried was to reinstall Vista Professional recovery disk to see if it has suffered from the same problem.

  Wireless has worked under Vista, and despite the updates I was offered, worked without having to update all the drivers.

  This got me thinking... so the question is probably DRIVER XP related.
  What I've done now is to back up all the updates driver told me to download TEMPRO (BIOS & Manager wireless updates included).

  I think part of the problem is that only TEMPRO works under Vista (not XP) so you are not informed of any updates may be required if you upgrade to XP directly after the purchase (which is what I did).

• Windows XP cannot see that the internet can only see LAN

  We have a small network in my house. My router was set to WEP security (I know its too old, but my windows xp laptop computer does not work with WPA or newer). And I also added mac filtering for more security addresses. This network has worked well for 2 years.

  Meanwhile in a cell phone (that has windows XP sp3) so its wireless network broke, and we couldn't get living, then we just plugged on the router via a cable.

  Recently I had to reset my router because I forgot a password and I could add anything to the mac filter list.

  After that, I put at 'the original' for example WEP + mac filtering (only the passwords have been changed).

  Now everything is working fine, 2 laptops (both Windows 7 a), 2 readers, network all our phones smart etc can connect again, the only laptop (with Windows XP) problem.

  The XP laptop can see LAN (two disks) and router only (ping works), but in any browser (firefox, chrome, iexplorer) give me a Web site cannot loaded in the background: error 105, Err_name_not_resolved.

  I tried names ping (google.com) and different ip addresses (for example my ISP dns server address) but I get no answer 100% packet loss. I tried a lot of things that they did not help

  (1) has tried to change my XP for some fix + fix dns ip (I found these adressis in my router configuration/network configuration)
  (2) then I put back to dynamic ip once again in the line of cmd ipconfig release, ipconfig/reset, etc., I checked all addresses was going well everywhere (I mean gateway, DHCP server, dns server, looked well with dynamic ip too)
  
  (3) then I found similar position
  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_xp-Networking/cannot-ping-outside-my-local-network/de73a1f9-ef4b-E011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5
  so I tried also what is in the post
  "netsh winsock reset" "netsh int ip reset" then "ipconfig/flushdns" then restart computer

  Nothing helped so I registered here, maybe I answer.

  you might need this information:

  the laptop has Windows XP service pack 3 language _german_
  Cisco EPC2425 router is
  The two networks wdstorage discs + mybookworld... I think they are the two Western Digital stuff. I'm not sure, I can look after if its important (I don't think)
  So, I got two disks still attached. (so 3 connection of the UTP in the router is used, two for disks for the windows XP laptop)

  If something is not clear, ask me please

  
  Thank you for your answer

  Hi Robert,.

  Thank you for updating us the status of the case.

  I suggest that temporarily disable you the firewall.

  I recommend you to test name resolution

  A DNS server provides host name resolution. If you cannot connect to a server on the Internet by using its FQDN, there could be a problem with the DNS configuration of your dial-up connection to your ISP or DNS server of your ISP.

  To determine if there is a problem with the DNS configuration of your dial-up to your ISP connection, follow these steps:

  a. at a command prompt, type ipconfig/all, and then press ENTER to display the IP address of your DNS server. If the IP address of your DNS server does not appear, contact your ISP for the IP address of your DNS server.

  (b) to verify that your computer can communicate with your DNS server, ping IP address of your DNS server. The response looks like this:

  Rattling #. ###. ###. # with 32 bytes of data:

  Response to #. ###. ###. #: bytes = 32 time = 77ms TTL = 28
  Response to #. ###. ###. #: bytes = 32 time = 80ms TTL = 28
  Response to #. ###. ###. #: bytes = 32 time = 78ms TTL = 28
  Response to #. ###. ###. #: bytes = 32 time = 79ms TTL = 28

  The series of digital signs (#. #. #. #) represents the IP address of the DNS server.

  If you can't ping the IP address of the DNS server successfully, contact your ISP to verify that you are using the IP address and the DNS server is working properly.
   
  When you have verified the correct IP address of your DNS server, update the settings of your connection to your ISP's dial-up TCP/IP. To change or add a valid IP address for your DNS server for a dial-up Networking phonebook entry, follow these steps:

  a. in Control Panel, double-click network connections.

  b. right click on your Internet connection, click Properties and then click the network tab.

  c. click the Internet Protocol adapter, and then click Properties.

  d. click use the following DNS server address, and then type the correct IP address in the preferred DNS server box.

  e. click OK, and then click OK again.

  If you need Windows guru, do not hesitate to post your questions and we will be happy to help you.
