• option 4-digit PIN code disappeared in the connection of Windows 8 options

  Hello

  I hope someone can help with the above?

  I have mistakenly entered the identification number that has been set up on my laptop in the password field when you connect on my new laptop and now I see more PIN option when he said options sign of change.  Clearly my fault because I wasn't really paying attention!

  Now, I read somewhere that with W8 when you enter incorrectly the password 3 times now, which is clearly what I have done, that the option to connect using a 4 digit PIN, disappears!  If this is the case, how the hell do I now the connection option if there is no code pin to connect you to the help?  Please help and advise.  Thank you.

  Hello
   
  Welcome to the Microsoft community forums.
  Sorry to know that you are facing this problem with the connection to the computer with the Pin number.
   
  Please help me with the following information:
   
  1. did you remove the old PIN until you have tried to create a new?
  2. is your computer connected to a domain network?

  Method 1: Try the following steps to remove your old PIN:
   
  1. Press 'Windows Logo' + 'C' keys on the keyboard to show the charms.
  2. click on "Settings" and then click on "Change PC settings" at the bottom
  3. Select 'Users' on the left of 'PC settings' Panel
  4. click on "Remove the PIN" under "sign in options.
  5. once the old PIN code is removed, try to create the new PIN and check to see if that solves the problem.

• Windows cannot connect to the Internet using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP. __This is probably caused by settings of firewall on this computer. __

  I recently installed the version of Norton, after that I was unable to use the internet, I thought it was the Norton firewall settings. After having playing with her for 30 minutes, I gave up and uninstalled Norton. I have disabled the firewall, I have reset the default settings. Here is the message I get when I run a diagnostic. A crazy thing is that I can connect to internet when I connected to this same computer as a guess.

  Please help me!

  Windows cannot connect to the Internet using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP.
  This is probably caused by the settings of firewall on this computer.

  Check the settings of firewall for the HTTP port (80), HTTPS port (443) and FTP port (21).

  Hi rhonda9937,

  1. what browser you are using to connect to the internet?

  It is not recommended to keep Windows Firewall disabled on the computer.

  This would happen if the ports are not open in the Windows Firewall.

  I suggest that you open ports in Windows Firewall and check if it works.

• Windows cannot connect to the printer. The name of the printer has been correctly entered, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.

  A Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2 32-bit computer is a field, the file and print server.

  A computer on the domain is a machine of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit with HP DesignJet 500 24 printer connected via USB.  The printer is running the latest firmware.  The PC is running the latest 64-bit drivers with no problems to the host machine printing.  The host also has the latest drivers 32-bit (x 86) installed by downloading by other computers on the network.  The printer is configured to share with the share name of HPDJ500.

  Now, on a machine Windows XP Pro SP3 32 bit on the field, I'm trying to connect to the shared printer.  Add a printer > click Next in the wizard of > check "a network printer or a printer attached to another computer" and then click Next > click on "Find a printer in the directory", then click Next > click Find now > HPDJ500 in the list below (the XP machine can see the shared printer on the Windows 7 computer!) and click OK.  At this point, I get an error that says: "Windows cannot connect to the printer.  The name of the printer has been correctly entered, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.  For more information, click Help. »

  Alternatively, if I right-click on the HPDJ500 printer listed, then click on connect, I get the same error message but I also see a separate window that says "Connecting to HPDJ500 on H2.ws.net" with the lively projector.  This window also disappears as soon as I clear the error message.

  Please note that this printer worked perfectly as a printer shared, hosted on a machine XP 32 bit on the field.  It works perfectly for the new Windows 7 64-bit machine, but we cannot connect from anywhere else on the network (including the server which translates the same exact error message).  On the server, I also preinstalled drivers thinking there was a problem with a 32-bit computer, trying to grasp the correct drivers from the host 64-bit Windows 7, but that doesn't change anything.

  How connect to this printer?

  Try using the path UNC path of the printer in the Add Printer Wizard.

  Add a printer > network printer > connection to this printer ((deuxieme point)

  Click next to browse (leave blank, the name field) or type the UNC path of the printer (i.e. \\Computername\Printername) path

• Problem adding network printers; received this message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» »

  Hello

  I have a Windows XP pro (Lenovo) that I recently ran the recovery and returned to certain configurations of 1.5 years. Now I can't add a network printer and get always the message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» ». I ping the printer and all on my network can add these printers, it's just that a machine that fails to add network printers.

  I disabled the firewall, but were still unable to add the printer. Then I found some difficulties to register for a similar problem, but they were not useful... It really becomes a big headache, especially Windows restore does not work...

  I strongly suspect that 1.5 years, someone has renamed the printer.  Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the print server through My Network Places and see what it's callednow .  Otherwise, you could ask your network/system administrator.  You should know...

• Windows cannot connect to the printer. Access is denied.

  From: Steve

  Desperately, I try to print from my laptop Windows Vista Home Premium to a shared printer on my home wireless network.  The shared printer is connected to a XP Home machine.  This machine is wired (via a LAN cable) to the wireless router.  I can 'see' the printer that I want to use but trying to to connect to it. I get the error message "Windows cannot connect to the printer.  Access is denied. "I would be grateful for any help.

  Kind regards.

  -Steve

  From: Alan Morris [MSFT]

  Since the XP machine is HOME, I don't think that the permissions dialog box is accessible.

  Run the XP network sharing wizard again and see if it affects safety correctly on sharing.

  Is the printer you share one that has drivers provided with Windows XP?

  In the meantime we will at least get the printer works for you.

  Create a local printer on Windows Vista; Creation of a Local Port in the form \\XPMACHINE\Printsharename (this will send the files by using the redirector instead of the RPC service).  Install the Windows Vista driver for the device.

  You can print because print$ access is required for printer drivers.

• Vista problem: "failed to connect to the windows service, Windows cannot connect to the system event.

  I have reported this problem on my PC at home that connects to the internet. My laptop runs Vista Home Premium and I can't connect to the internet. I took my laptop on a trip, tried to connect to the wireless network that was free to the place we are. Could not connect, and after this initial test, the following is displayed after the start of "failed to connect to the Windows Service, Windows cannot connect to the system event notification service. This problem prevents limited users to logon to the system. As administratvie user, you can view the system event log to see why the service did not respond. "(have no idea how or what it means) when I go to the task bar you want to connect to a network, it is said:" the dependency service or group could not start"and if I go ahead and press"connect to a network"it says it can't find.  I search for computers on the network (who I'm sitting next to) and then try to diagnose the problem and it cannot. I have limited knowledge of this type of problem. Anyone have this problem and how to fix it?

  Hi ptkein,

• Multimedia file sharing only works if the two devices are connected using the same protocol

  So I'm frustrated!

  I spent an hour trying to get my Windows 7 computer to share my music with my XBox 360. I have two machines on my network, one connected by Ethernet to the router and the other connected by WiFi. I tried everything I could find online to get the WiFi connected machine appears in the "Music Player" on my XBox system - follow all sharing, make sure that my router has UPnP, restarted a bouquet of services, etc..
  Nothing! During this time, my machine connected to Ethernet was watching me in the face. He has appeared on the XBox without problem. I started to compare the settings on both machines and found no difference.
  Then I remembered, boredom, I had setting up WiFi sync for Windows Phone my wife. In fact, it was this session of troubleshooting that lead me to put this machine on the WiFi in the first place! Seems to set up WiFi sync, Windows Phone and the target of the machine must be, not only connected to the same network (obviously), but for some reason any the $ @$ crazy, both connected by WiFi. I just connected this computer by WiFi - not happy, a faster speed with my wired connection - and immediately fixed the problem itself.
  Then, remembering that, I moved my XBox WiFi network and - presto - my second machine appears without a problem.
  My question is... WTF! ???
  This is ridiculous - this is the same network! Why things must be connected using the same protocol?

  Hi, Edward Petersen,.

  Please contact the Microsoft community. I'll help you solve the problem with sharing music using media sharing.

  Some routers isolate the cable connections and wireless, you can check if you have the option in the configuration of the router to share media

  If the problem occurs, you can contact the router manufacturer for assistance.

  Hope this information helps. If you need help with Windows, simply reply that we will be happy

• Unable to connect using the current password

  Using the current password which only had 6 characters - have now changed to 8 hope if this helps solve the problem.
  Have you noticed too there was an update of Mozilla on my laptop the day before that this problem then this could be the reason?

  Unable to connect using the current password

  It is far from a complete problem description.
  Please explain in detail

  • what you were doing
  • That's happened

  Using the current password which only had 6 characters

  6 characters is a very weak password. Consider using a password manager to generate longer and more complex passwords and to remember these passwords.

• Why can't connect using Apple Airport WIFI of my remote security cameras but can connect using the Xfinity WIFI Modem/Router open?

  Why can't connect using Apple Airport WIFI of my remote security cameras but can connect using the Xfinity WIFI Modem/Router open?

  Two possibilities:

  (1) your airport WiFi might have a network name that is not in line with best practices, wireless

  A good wireless network name is...

  ... In short no more than 20 characters

  Simple... no special characters like an apostrophe, dollar sign, asterisk, etc.

  Compact, without spaces in the name

  For example, a wireless network network name as... red .dfedoryk Apple wireless network... .is not what you want. Something like... .dfedorykwireless. .. masse are much more likely to connect to non-Apple devices.

  Same guidelines your password

  (2) Apple gives the same name to network 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network that produces double router band.  Some non-Apple devices are confused by the present, you may need to use the option to assign a different name for the network of 5 GHz on the router from Apple. Then, 'point' your device to the network name specific to which you want to connect.
