Windows 7 network password

Greetings,

I just installed Windows 7 on my desktop and I'm having a bit of a problem to find how to share files without requiring other computers enter a name of user and password. In XP Pro, I had it put in place if any computer on the network typed '\\chaoflan', they had instant access to my hard drive. They could copy anything, delete whatever it is, the control TOTAL. I know that it is "unsecure", but I don't like because it's a home network.
If anyone can help me, I would be very happy.
Thank you.

  • "Enter network password" popup will not stop appearing, how to stop this? Outlook 2007 audit has aol.

    OK, I know that this question was asked before here and other places, but I tried a lot of things and still cannot get him to stop.

    I use Outlook 2007 to access my aol e-mail account. Until recently it has been works well with none or very few problems. All of a sudden this week, the window 'Enter network password' guard chronically arise with all fields filled already, but you will need to click ok to remove. This happens once in a blue moon in the past, maybe once every 3 weeks to a month and then happen not for awhile. But from this week, it occurs once every 5 minutes about an hour every day. (Has happened twice since I started typing this so far.) This is incredibly annoying doesn't even begin to describe. For more far to annoy me, I have a rule to configure in Outlook where some emails get sent to my work address while I'm not home and when this box appears here at home while I'm at work, nothing doesn't get passed, nothing happens anywhere because I'm not here to click ok in the darn box!
    OK, to cut to the Chase, I have Windows XP with Outlook 2007 here, and I checked my aol email. All parameters have been controlled and tested and is exactly the same as when it was working fine. Other things that can help to know, I have McAfee Antivirus on the computer and the router wireless Belkin F5D8235-4 low. I had McAfee antivirus for many years without any problems and I got the router hooked ever since November 2009 with no problems until now that is.
    Here is what I tried so far, all have not helped at all: (I thought that I would tell you which has been tried and didn't work, so we don't waste time on them).
    1 has created a new Outlook profile. Did not stop the pop ups.
    2 Ran Outlook in safe mode for non-Microsoft services would not be executed. Did not stop the pop ups.
    3. saved registry and the information of the user account deleted from the options of password subkey, and then reinstated "Protected Storage System Provider. Did not stop the pop ups.
    4. disabled in McAfee messaging protection. Did not stop the pop ups. (Just got a new one! Ugh.)
    5 Rebooted/Restarted router. Did not stop the pop ups.
    I'm currently at the "I got Nothin'" point about what should be judged then.
    Anyone has any idea what this might be outside what I already tried?
    I am altogether strung here and it drives me crazy. Anyone have any ideas?
    Jim.

    Update for me.
    Because I changed my e-mail verification of the intervals of 5-10 minutes, there was a considerable improvement in this issue. For a while it has virtually disappeared, it was like the good old days when it happened almost never.
    A few week days last the problem returned with a vengeance, as bad as when it reached its maximum when I started this thread. But I went on google and found a lot of internet chatter, suggesting that it seems to be a question of aol - across the network to an end, given that many people in the country had the same problems. So, it looks that I have would have been doing the pop-ups regardless.
    It seems that to subject the week last, aol themselves have had major problems to their e-mail systems based on internet comments there from other customers, so by doing this problem much more difficult to solve since now you know exactly what is the first cause pop-ups until aol gets their end of it solved. I can certainly tell you that raise the time intervals to send/receive 5 to 10 minutes doesn't seem to go very far to solve problems with pop-ups. Even though I'm still trying, here and there, I think that those that I received lately have been due to problems at AOL more so than mine, based on reviews other aol users. I hope that I may be at the end of the tunnel on this subject but thanks to what is happening to their end (aol), I can't say for sure yet. I'll keep you posted.

  • A window opens all the minutes titled 'Enter Network Password',

    Original title: help please!

    I am running Windows XP.  My problem is the following:-a window opens all few minutes entitled "Enter network password", it may be either of my current ISP or the previous one which I did not have long.  In this case no matter what I do on the computer.  Can someone help me get rid of this?

    If you no longer use a modem, you can safely remove all access to remote connections. Proceed as before you make the Connections tab and remove all connections by modem listed. I hope your problem will disappear. I can't explain why with "never dial" selected, you still get those dialups. Maybe you have some malicious software trying to get an internet connection in this way?

    Do a full with your normal AV and then scan also with scanners to demand free MBAM and SAS. You can always delete them after scanning if you wish.

    I have a new laptop at home which has windows xp sp 2 is installed.  I am trying to connect to my wireless network.
    I get the following error;
    The network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration.  This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii or 26 hexadecimal characters.

    I gave my father a new laptop computer this fall and he gave me one that had given him his friend... I've never worked with XP Pro...

    We have several other phones on this account wireless at home.

    You try to login with the wrong encryption method and you have this implemented extremely secure wireless network.

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hi all

    Allowing access to the network without password

    To allow users to log on to their computer without password and then access the XP Professional machine without a password, you must make a change security policy:

    1. Go to Control Panel | Performance and Maintenance | Administrative Tools | Local security policy.
    2. Expand local policies | Security options.
    3. Double-click on accounts: limit local account passwords using empty for the connection to the console only, which is enabled by default. Disable this option and click OK.

  • Windows 7 network and password username request and it is not a?

    I have 3 computers, a desktop computer running windows 7 Home premium, a desktop running windows 7 Professional and a laptop running windows XP. Since I have a computer running XP, I'm trying to network all using a working group not a homegroup. The xp computer can access the computer just fine and vice versa pro. The Windows xp computer can also access the computer home premium very well and vice versa. The problem is when I try to access the computer the computer pro family premium, I'm prompted for a user name and password. I checked all the file sharing options and both computers have enabled file sharing and both have the network password. Both computers share the same workgroup name and I tried to rename several times and the problem is always the same. I also tried to rename the computers and that has not worked.

    I also have a PS3 connected to the same network, and there is no harm to access all 3 computers.

    I spent 2 weeks at the problem, someone knows something similar?
    Thank you

    If the working groups are the same on all systems, you must use the same user name and password. If you are not willing to do this, you should try mapping by replacing the domain name with the name of the remote computer. So if you are on a Windows 7 computer, you can connect to the older computer using the \\oldcomputername\usernameonoldcomputer and see if it works.

    The best way to the network computers on a home network of non-member of the field has always been to use the same working group names and set the same username and password on all combo machines. I've never had a problem doing this, because the current network stack config was used in Win 2000 to Server 2008 R2 boxes.

  • Receive messages by a network password when accessing files on Windows 7

    I am trying to access my files on the network, but I'm being prompted to enter a network password. I use Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit.
    Is this a problem running on Windows 7? Hope someone can help me on this one.

    If you turn off password protected sharing on all computers, then he used to ask for the password.

    Beginning
    Control Panel
    Network and Internet
    Homegroup
    Change advanced sharing options
    Turn on turn off password protected sharing
    Save the changes

    There will be a decline in the level of security, but for most home networks, this isn't a big problem.

    A safer alternative is to properly configure your homegroup.

    Beginning
    Control Panel
    Network and Internet
    Homegroup

    From there, you can set up your homegroup. You will receive a password that must be entered in all Windows 7 machines on the network.

    On some links, I get a "Request for network password" window. I don't know what ITI is asking, can anyone help?

    Sometimes, this happens because you have stumbled upon a gateway to the network of someone and you do not have the required permissions to enter, without a password.
