Windows 8 and Windows RT can't find/see each other on the same network

My problem is very simple, but I can't for the life of understand me.

I have a Windows 8 PC and a tablet of Surface RT, they are both connected to the same network but I can't connect to the home group. I am not able to see computers, when I click on networks so connected devices.

When I disable the security of password of my router, everything seems to work properly. I don't want to leave my network available to everyone however. so as soon as I put a password on my router now I can't pick up devices and home group. I tried to change my network advanced setting but who just so used to work. I don't know what there is to do.

This is for both of my devices, I don't want to leave my router without protection. Is there a way to fix this?

I think I found the answer to the problem. I went to HomeGroup settings on my PC and on my Surface and I checked everything on making default setting the private setting may be available on the network.

After that, I went to make sure that the firewall on my computer has been set to its default value. Then I went to check my firewall antivirus (BitDefender) and noticed that the network was listed in public, that's why I could not pick up other computers.

So I checked the network in order to be under this judgment in Bitdefender and everything seems to work now. My surface to pick up the computer and the home group.

Check your anti-virus firewall settings, perhaps that is the reason.

  • Two Macs can connect to a URL, another on the same network may not

    So far, I can connect this behavior to a unique URL only - but of course, it's an I need to get in order to save some software on this particular machine.

    I emptied the cache, flushed the DNS cache and checked that I use valid DNS servers. It isn't Safari, chrome this brings. Two Macs reached the URL without any problem, but this new model Mac Pro simply will not reach it and traceroute expires after a few jumps. All three machines are on the same network, all three use the same DNS servers. I rebooted several times.

    All three Mac running the latest El Capitan. The two reach the URL are a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini Server.

    I'm puzzled.

    Please note that a traceroute on all three machines reveals the slowdown even at the same jump in the chain, but only the Mac Pro seems to have trouble with it.

  • Computers can't see each other after the installation of E3000

    I found several previous posts about my question, but none of them have led me to a solution to my problem. Here's my problem. I have a small home network that I could share files and printers on now I bought for and install a Cisco E3000 and my computers do not see each other. My current configurations is as such: I use DSL and you have an ADSL modem to 2 wires with wireless capabilities. This particular modem has a port for the telephone line and a local Ethernet port. I took the local ethernet and plugged into the internet port of the E3000. All computers can access the internet, but they cannot see. I checked that the file sharing and printers is enabled on all computers. In fact, if I remove the E3000 of configuration and place them on the 2wire wireless connection they see each other. So I'm pretty sure that the firewall on each PC software will allow file and printer sharing. Which leads me to believe that my problem is in the E3000. It blocks perhaps the Protocol of network discovery or something. Does anyone have ideas how I can fix this problem? Any help is appreciated.

    Well, I solved the problem by returning the router to the retailer and Exchange to another router. Now, all network shares working. Consider the problem solved.

    Hi support them.

    My scenario here is I have a few systems of HP Office under windows7 32-bit edition (version of windows by default), and now I need to upgrade to 64-bit windows 7 without getting a 64-bit win7 additional license, am I allowed to use the same product key on my 32-bit version to upgrade to 64-bit?

    Hello

    Since this is a check of the product key OEM with HP Support for the media. You already have windows
    Thus, it will be cheap. You can check that your system is running 64-bit at the same time.

  • 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.

    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.

  • I moved my windows mail contacts place and now I can't find them. I get the message the file MSOE. DLL could not be initialized. Windows Mail does not open.

    I was exploring the information about "move your files and user files to another partition" I'm a little short on space.   I chose the location tab in my Contacts Properties window to have a look at the possibilities of some of my folders move to another partition on my computer.   However, I clicked obviously wrong, and now I got a message that the file MSOE. DLL could not be initialized.   I tried the system restore, but no restore points are available to me before today.  Are there jobs that I can do?

    Under your username must be a Contacts folder.   If there is a step, and then either move the new Contacts folder to where he was, or create a new folder under the user name, and then see if it works then.  So if you have a username of 'Heather' contacts should be under C:\Users\Heather\Contacts.  Try and then see if it works very well.  Otherwise, you will need to create a new user and then try to get this to work.

  • Windows 7 can not find my file?

    Windows 7 can not find my file?

    The folder is synchronized with Google drive

    I could add 'system' of permissions, but this causes permission errorsI is currently seeking 17000 files manually and it's a pain

    Any way to get Windows 7 to find 'xp style' folders on the fly without all these stories of cataloguing which causes has other "cannot find' bugs even when

    Actually found a solution so for all those who use the Googledrive folder on Windows - you can cut search indexing (uses of data which is not updated on the records of Gdrive) causing Win 7 search "on-the-fly" = a little more slow but even faster that I can read names of 17000 files

    Just open your main Gdrive/Windows folder and choose search & Union Options / folders:

  • If 2 Airport extreme can stay connected to each other using their LAN ports?

    Hello friends,

    I would like to know if 2 Airport extreme or 1 Airport Extreme and Airport Express can stay connected to each other using LAN ports at the ends? I thought this is the LAN port 1 connected to the WAN port on the 2nd.

    Thank you

    To clarify the issue and the scenario, one of my friend described a typical scenario in which there are 2 AEs. AE1 has an ISP in its port WAN and AE2 has a different ISP in its WAN port. This 2 AE can mutually connected between them by using ports LAN AE1 and AE2 ethernet cable? He said this could be feasible if AE2 remained in bridged mode, without using the ISP attached to its WAN port. I just don't get how this is possible. Friends of the search help.

I went in Sync Center, I have trid addition in manual, I tried to search for a wifi switch (I don't think I have a) I tried to restart the pc and the internet, I tried the system restore, I don't really know what else to do. Any suggestions?

    Hi Kate,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that Windows 7 can't find the network and I appreciate the efforts made to try the patches. Let me ask you;

    • Restoring the system led?
    • What exactly happens when you try to connect to the Wi - Fi?

    This could be due to several reasons, including any third party software conflict. Try the following methods and check.

    Method 1: Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network and check if the problem persists. If the problem does not persist in SafeMode with network, put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

    Step 1: Start the computer using safe mode with networking

    Safe mode with networking is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. Safe Mode with networking appears in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using. You can use the internet connection in this mode.

    Please refer to: , start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2: Perform a clean boot in order to avoid any conflict of third party software.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

    Method 2: Update the network adapter

    Step 1: Update the driver through Device Manager

    a. click Start , type Device Manager and click on it

    b. expand network adapters

    c. make a right click driver, and then click Update driver software

    Step 2: Install the Windows updates pending

    To check the updates:

    1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    2. In the left pane, click check for updates, and then wait while Windows searches the latest updates for your computer.

    3. If you see a message telling you that important updates are available, or you say to look at the important updates, click the message to view and select the updates to install.

    4. In the list, click the important updates for more information. Select the check boxes for the updates that you want to install and then click OK.

    5. Click install updates.

      Read and accept the terms of the license and then click Finish if the update requires it. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Step 3: Visit the computer manufacturer's support Web site and install the latest network for Windows 8 for the same model of device drivers.

  • Windows search can not find my files

    Even if I indexed all folders on my computer Windows Search can not find something of my music, my pictures, and my videos folders. I checked if they are indexed and they are. I tried rebuilding the index, but it did not help. Does anyone know what may be the problem?

    Problem solved. One of my programs has changed the use of the search bar for "do not search" menu properties taskbar and start, I have no idea why.

    PROBLEM SOLVED

    I struggled with the same problem for a few hours. Finally, I discovered that:

    If you are looking for a word in a file name, then you must start the search string with an asterisk (wildcard character), in the opposite case, Windows will detect nothing. For example, if you are looking for "cyberdyne" in a file name, then you must look for the two "cyberdyne" and "* cyberdyne.

    If the word you are looking for is at the beginning of the name of the file, or if it is preceded by a dash or a dot, then Windows Explorer is the file without the asterisk.
