Windows 8 can see windows 7 but not the other way around

I have a desktop with windows 8 pro 64-bit computer and a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  They are both connected to the same workgroup.  Two computers can see and access my NAS who is also on the same network.

My PC W8, I see the portable W7.  However, the W7 laptop does not see the PC W8.
Both computers have their firewall disabled temporarily.
The W8 PC has a homegroup Setup, but the W7 laptop does not see the residential groups on the network.
I ran the two homegroup and the troubleshooting of network on the W7 laptop and it didn't detect any problems.

Help?

  • Tablet & mobile can see tabs office but not the other way

    Hello

    I have an android tablet, android phone, a laptop and a desktop computer at work. With firefox sync.

    I use aurora on laptop and desktop computer and beta on both android.

    On the desktop, I can only see the tabs of the laptop and on the laptop, one office.
    And on both android, I can see the portable and desktop tabs.

    In any case, I can't see two android tabs.

    Sync is ok because I can see desktop ones on the android but it is not as useful as it could be if I can't have all the tabs on each firefox, I can't read on my tablet or my office tabs previously open on the phone. I can see them in the history, though.

    Any suspicion on this subject?

    Sync for Android is not yet synchronize your tabs from your phone to the cloud. (See the bug 730039 if you are interested).

    It is coming in a future version of Firefox.

    Hope that helps!

  • Why can I not access a computer2 from computer1, but not the other way around?

    I have a home network using the ethernet cable connected to an ATT Wireless and wired modem/router wired. Vista premium Computer1 and computer2 has Vista Home premium. Both printed and discovery / network file sharing on. The two appear on the network and sharing Center. I tried to turn off the two firewalls, configure permissions and shared file. Always the same. Computer1 can access computer files/programs. But computer2 is impossible. I get an error code: 0 x 800. I looked at the error online code, but the answers don't give me what I've done; share the installation program, permissions, firewall, reset the modem/router.

  • 7780 all in one print via bluetooth from a PC Windows 7, but not the other

    • Our HP 7780 all in one printer is connected to the network via bluetooth and has an ip address of http://192.168.1.65. A Mac and a Windows 7 desktop computer can print on it. An another Windows 7 laptop USED to be able to print, but no longer can, although it can browse to it and see the ink levels.
    • After restarting, the printer status says ready and a new print job appears in the queue, but after a bit it turns into error and never print.
    • We downloaded the base driver and reinstalled. During the installation of the 7780 was on the list of discovered printers and we chose, but during the installation, we got an error message that it could not find the printer.
    • Later we downloaded and installed the patch titled that product stops printing after network installed on Windows 7 (64 bit), rebooted and still the same error.

  • HP Officejet 6500 a Plus. How to get a fax received to print in black and white and not the other way around

    I'm using an iMac with OS X 10.6.8.  A fax sent to me is loaded into a folder open on my desktop.  The fax image is white on black al, though the original was black on white paper.  It prints white on black background.  How to reverse the image to black on white?

    Ok. Well I don't believe that you are able to reverse the colors directly on the printer. Once the image has been saved using this color format, you will need to reverse the image on the computer first, then the corrected file printer.

    You can invert the colors using the preview. Once you open the image in preview if you select "Tools" then "Color Adjust". Here you will be presented with slidered for black and white levels. To "reverse" all colors, you need to do is the slider level black all the way to the right, then drag the white slider completely to the left.

    Let me know if it works for you!

  • My Nano Gen 7 is recognized on a single computer, but not the other

    My Nano Gen 7 is recognized on a single computer, but not the other.  I went through all the troubleshooting tips.  Different cables, try all USB ports, uninstall/reinstall itunes, etc.  I have itunes more up-to-date software.  I was able to connect the ipod to my backup computer and confirmed that I also have the software more up-to-date on the ipod.  Since I am able to connect to it, I also did a factory reset the iPod, but it still wouldn't connect to my main computer.  Nothing has worked.  I think there must be a setting on my pc.  I use the latest version of windows 10.  Any suggestions are welcome.  Thank you

    I just bought an Ipod Nano 7th generation and itunes does not recognize it.  Had by all the standard troubleshooting (uninstall/install itunes, etc.) and no luck.  My PC recognizes, he calls the 'nano' but acknowledges as a USB mass storage device.  I spoke to a support person from apple for more than an hour to help me troubleshoot it, finally they just said it was a windows problem, and I need to contact Microsoft.

  • SWF is MIA on a field, but not the other?

    I have a modest Web page which I use primarily to set up the occasional photograph of the family:

    http://www.staggclan.com

    .. .and that contains a Flash xreferencing file a Flash video. That's what it is supposed to look like: http://www.dfwaug.net/test/index.html.

    As you can see - the video works very well in this last example (it's the same hierarchy). But why don't you see the video on my site? You can take a look at the source for staggclan.com on this page and you can see that I'm NOT xreferencing my hard drive and I am referencing an image that has not been downloaded (although I was - you would see at least one indicator 'broken image'). It does not even include space for where this video should be - it's as if he was not yet placed there.

    For the life of me I don't know what the problem is. Why is - that will work in a field, but not the other (both hosted by 1 & 1. com)? One who can correctly solve this problem for me will find me ETERNALLY THANKFUL.

    All the best.

    I'm just using DW8 to insert this .swf on a page. Obviously, I had deleted by mistake the "Scripts" folder is published with the course when I put on my server - so - no multimedia.

    Its a long time I have been using DW since now, we mainly use eLearning software rapid development. Gawd how I miss DW. Fortunately, I get to 'play' with it from time to time on the home front and have since updated my 'official' home-homepage which is now showing the video correctly:

    It was certainly a learning experience...

  • Flash Player crashes a pc but not the other

    I have two PCs each running xp sp3.  Players of Flash in Chrome and Firefox crash one of them, but not the other.  Obviously something is different between the two computers, but how can I evenbegin to understand what he.  I've seen a lot of posts on Flash crash peoples computers and no satisfactory answers to my problem.  Thanks for responding.

    First thing to try on the computer crash is to disable hardware acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337).

    If this resolves the problem, then you should update the drivers for your graphics card (and re-enable hardware acceleration).

  • Audio in a timeline yet, but not the other?

    Hello

    I am trying to solve a problem in a timeline yet for Blu - ray with a MPEG2 and AC3 file.  It's weird because with the exact specifications of the same file for the video and audio, I'm able to hear the audio from the test project calendar (short term), but not the project calendar full length (about an hour and a half in duration).

    I'm burning a disk to verify that audio is just not there, rather than a problem reading with the project any longer, but can anyone suggest what may be broken here?  Again, the two projects seem to be identical in the parameters and specifications file for the video and audio, only the duration of a (work) is shorter than the other (does not).

    The audio file has been posted outside still like audio playback.

    Thank you for all what thoughts - what someone might have here.  BTW, the project has no menu screen.  That's a 'read only' Blu - ray disc

    Mtbakerstu

    That shows the status of transcoding of comics for each importing audio?

    Confirm that it is import and not dynamic link.

    How do you know that the file specifications are identical?

  • Password hidden by the asterisk in Windows 7, but not the same thing in Windows XP

    Hello world:

    I would like to share the following situation, I am facing right now, in fact I installed a third party software to monitor network devices on my computer with windows 7 installed above, under the software there is an option that allows the user to create and configure profiles (Configuration NGN) where I fill settings such as user name and password , after the password is entered if I try to see it double clicking on it, the password is not displayed because it is displayed hidden by asterisk (see attachment for details).

    Then I installed the same software and made the same operation with a computer windows XP, the strange, is that when I tried to see the password by double clicking it, the password was shown (see photo below). So I don't know what could be the reason why in XP, the user can see the contents of the password encrypted behind asterisk and why we cannot see him, in the same operation was performed on the Windows 7 computer. I would appreciate your valuable help.

    Thank you

    Marlon

    I would check this with the NGN provider.
