Windows 7 Home premium network problem, computers can access the internet, but they do not see each other on the network

I was trying to set up a homegroup on my main computer, but on the second computer, I never had the opportunity to join the homegroup. I'm sure that I have everything set up properly, but I can't get the second computer to join.

I have a switch that my internet runs and a cat cable goes to each computer. Each computer can access the internet without any problem, but none appear in other network list. They have the same name of working group, I just can't understand it. I use Windows Firewall.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe this can help.

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

Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

Public share
= network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

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

If your network consists only of Win 7 and you want a simple network, use it.

After you have configured the homegroup, scroll to the bottom for the Permission/security section.

    I need to activate my windows 7 Home premium and when I look at the bottom of my computer product key essentially disappeared... What can I do to get my product key?

    Option 1: You will need to invest in a new license.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

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

    This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    Windows 7 Home Premium Wifi grey symbol with a star yellow but fully connected to the internet.

    Have been able to fix it by uninstalling the driver wireless and re - install, but when the system is restarted it then returns to the same problem.  Tried to remove the data of the registry key 'TrayNotify' windows and stopping the same tried to remove "explorer.exe" and replace "explorer.exe".. even goes back to the same problem.

    It is likely that your computer sees and is seen by your router.  Gold Star means that it is connected, but the router will not assign an IP address to access the Internet.

    This is usually caused by a code password incorrectly stored (on your computer).

    Click on this icon.  Find your network.  Remove it from the list.  Now, after a small wait, click this icon again.  It should detect your network and ask for the password.  If you have entered the right code, it should connect you.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem, then it is likely that you would have a problem with your router - it might be inside a separate device or your modem.

    A restart of the modem and router can help.  Pull the plug on the modem and the router.  Wait 30 seconds.  Put the plug in the modem only.  Wait 30 seconds.  Put the plug in the router.  Wait 2 minutes.  If she can still connect, try re-booting the computer.

    Hi JIB1955,

    Thank you for visiting the forums of answers.microsoft.com.

    It's been a while, we can think that the update is stuck and will not continue any further.  You can press Ctrl, Alt & Del and open Task Manager.  You should see the update on the Application tab, and you can select it and press end task.
    Click on the start ORB > Control Panel > programs and features, on the left, select view installed updates and see if the update that was being Setup finished installing.  If it does not have and does not appear on the list, you can restart your computer and try to install the update mode without failure.

    To do this, restart your pc and even if your pc is booting press the key F8 on your keyboard to enter the Advanced Boot Options menu.  On the Advanced Boot Options menu, select Safe Mode and press ENTER.
    Your computer will boot mode safe by using only the basic drivers and services, hopefully allowing Windows Update to complete the installation of the update, you are having problems with.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium update problems

    Dears Helpers

    About 6 months ago I bought a Samsung series 7 times. It came with windows 7 Home Premium.  When I bought the laptop, the seller told me that Windows has come with the ability to reformat itself in windows 7 again.

    The time has come to do and I checked out, but it turns outt hat it was only Samsungs Sste recovery. He had done an image and revenue to whom. Ok.

    After doing this, I went to the windows update, but it will not work. It just stays at the helm of 'Check updates' and after a long so that it says that it cannot be updated.

    Through the windows, I managed to download the "update Windows diagnosis", and having run it he managed to solve some of the problems that we found. I tried several times since then to update the windows but get the same problem again. Keep hecking for updates, it doesn't do anything.

    Could someone help me please. Normally I would just leave, but I would like to have updated and also because I recently bought a program that requires the .NET Framework Client Profile to run. The program itself provides the instalation but it will not be installed. I downloaded on the windows site, the .NET Framework Client Profile to try and install them separately, but that no longer works.

    Did I miss something or something goes wrong?

    I would be very happy for any help on this matter.

    Concerning

  • I want to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium so that I can format my drive hard as free space automatically reduced.

    I want to format my drive hard as free space automatically reduced. I have windows 7 Home premium authentic (built with my acer aspire 5742)

    Original title: relocation

    The recovery 'hidden' Acer Partition should be left intact.

    But you do not what you should have done when you bought your Acer machine; know-how in case of hard drive failure recovery disks.

    Here is how to do this with an Acer:

    "How can I create a set of the backup recovery disks?

    http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/12866/kW/recovery%20disk

    Your Acer computer includes Acer eRecovery Management software that allows you to perform operations of restore directly from your drive hard disc , which allows a faster recovery process and no need for discs. Acer eRecovery Management does, however, allow you to create recovery discs. The recovery disks will allow you to restore your computer something happened to your hard hard disk .

    Note: According to Acer computer you have your Acer eRecovery Management version may be slightly different, but the ability to create your discs will be available.

    To create your recovery discs backup follow these steps:

    1. Click on the Start menu, and then click all programs.
    2. In the list of programs, click the Acer file, and then click the Acer eRecovery Management .
    3. User account control Windows may request your permission to run this program, click Yes.
    4. In the Acer eRecovery Management window left click backup, and then click create a default disk factory.

      Note: If you use a laptop or netbook, you will be asked to connect your power adapter, make sure that the power adapter is plugged in before continuing, and then click OK.

    5. In the page to create a default disc factory select the drive you want to use for burning the recovery media, and then click Start.
    6. The disc is ejected whenever he has completed burning, if several drives are required insert a new disc when you are prompted, and then click OK.

    The other option available is to create drivers and Applications Disc. You can use this to create a backup disk to install specific drivers without destroying the entire operating system and applications.

    To create a drivers and Applications disc, follow the steps below:

    1. Click create disk drivers and Applications.
    2. On the page create drivers and Applications disc select the drive you want to use for burning the recovery media, and then click Start.
    3. Whenever it has finished burning, the disc is ejected.

    Note: If the computer does not have an internal optical drive, an external optical drive will create a set of Acer Recovery media.

  • Updated OEM Windows 7 Home premium to professional. Never asked a product key. Why not?

    Just upgraded my computer asus laptop k55a - win 7 Home premium pre-installed - for win 7 pro, using anytime upgrade. The computer was purchased about 2-3 years ago.

    What intrigues me is that he never asked me for a win 7 pro key. I activated windows and thought he would ask me at least during activation, but no. Not that I have a problem with it, but, why is this?

    It bothers me that I do not understand the process. If I knew more I would have done things a lot differently, as do not go to any installed on other partitions etc. That came with a lot of trouble.

    With the help of the Express Upgrade Wizard does not prompt you for a product key because its all made the Internet. You should have been sent the product key in case you need to reinstall.

    Will send me you a confirmation email with my product key?

    Yes. An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.

    If you did not, try to recover it now and enter him and put it somewhere safe.

  • Ultimate from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium or professional clean to install the new SSD

    I put my turn to level. It came with Vista Ultimate. I bought an SSD that will become my c drive. I want to do a clean installation in each Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional 64 bit on this player.  My drive/d has a backup of the Vista operating system. My drive is resumed. Do I have to buy a new copy of version single charge? If so, how will I know the source of what I buy sells an authentic copy or download? If not, what are the steps I need to take to upgrade? There is a number on the back of the workstation that would allow me to do it with the new drive installed? I don't want to have non-essential files on the SSD.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

    http://www.Amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-7-8-software/b?ie=UTF8&node=1286119011

    If you choose to buy the upgraded version:

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
