  Setting up a shared printer

  "The most common way to make a printer available to a home network is traditionally to connect to one of the computers and then tell Windows to share it. This is called a shared printer.

  The advantage of sharing a printer is that it works with any USB printer. Side tilted? The host computer must always be fed up, otherwise the rest of the network will not be able to access the shared printer. »

• Home Wifi network is not detectable!

  After implementing the lollipop, the my home WiFi network is not detectable on my motorcycle G. All other Wifi networks nearby make their appearance as usual except for the WiFi in my house.

  I tried the partition hiding wiping. Did not help.

  Then I did a hard reset on my device, after speaking to a Motorola Assistant, did not help.

• I have a Windows XP Home Edition, which does not list if it's 32-bit or 64-bit

  I have an OEM Windows XP Home Edition, which does not list if it's 32-bit or 64-bit. How do I know what

  To check if your XP operating system is 64-bit, you only have to right click on "My computer" and select 'Properties' to display 'system properties '.   If your XP operating system is XP Professional 64-bit, 64-bit will be indicated in the information displayed in the general tab.  However, XP 32 bit operating systems won't have 32-bit, there is no information about this particular point at all.  The XP Home Edition will be 32-bit, but this information does not appear.  XP Professional, however, can be either 32-bit or 64-bit.  If it is 64-bit, it will be indicated on the general tab of the system properties. However, if it is XP Professional 32-bit, nothing is there to indicate that the operating system is 32-bit.

  Vista and Windows 7, unlike XP, OS will indicate if they are 32-bit or 64-bit.

• 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.

• I installed Windows XP Home Edition. Can not find the wireless network drive

  I installed Windows XP Home Edition on my spare PC.  Now I have wireless network card in the computer and problems to find the drivers for it, and I don't know what brand it is, so I know it's kind of makes it harder too.  Then I also have to start the computer, but if I press F1, the computer starts well

  I was just wondering how can I get rid of this?

  

  Disable all devices that can connect to your router (wired or wireless)...

  • PCs
  • Laptops
  • Tablets
  • Smartphones
  • Smart TV
  • Printers
  • Networked storage
  • Another thing that I have not mentioned above!

  Put on your router and wait for the normal light distribution. Then turn on all devices.

  I hope that your ip address conflict went away. Generally ip conflicts can happen when the router is running again without doing the same with all devices later.

  If you have even an ip address conflict, it is possible that you forgot something above or can someone use your router without your knowledge.

  Your router's wireless network is secure? Ideally with WPA2 encryption?

• Windows Vista Home Basic Edition does not detect networks wireless scope.

  running Windows Vista Home Basic on my counter top and it will not locate wireless... period. I know at least 3 in the box and he is always telling me that there are no wireless networks detected.

  On a side note, I installed my router wireless on my laptop (so I know it works!) and have successfully installed on my desktop as well (or if the installation wizard tells me) the top round works on vista premium and office is vista home basic, but for some reason, the office is always telling me there are no available wireless networks. I went through the installation wizard for my router wireless twice now and still that it prove when I go to "connect to a network.

  As much as I know there is no 'Wireless' or switch to be turned on anyway... There may be a command prompt to enable the wireless function?

• Home Group network.

  I just purcashed a HP all-in-one with Windows 7 Premium.  Can I install the network home group without upgrading Windows.

  rongould6373 wrote: I just purcashed a HP all-in-one with Windows 7 Premium.  Can I install the network home group without upgrading Windows.

  Hello rongould6373, you should be able to set up a home network, but you would need to have at least two computers connected to a network or a network router.

  I do not use the host network, but a working network. This seems to work better for me.

  The network name must be the same on all systems on the network. You must also open the network and sharing to set up the network and share systems to connect to the other (s).

• Windows 7 enterprise - wireless network does not work at the office

  I'm a remote worker for a company.  I travel offices across the United States and hit this problem before, but thought it was just a transitory problem.  However, now I am in our headquarters and the problem has resurfaced.  Essentially, networks under Windows 7 Enterprise associates for wireless access points but cannot obtain a DHCP address.  I tried the usual: enough and ipconfig ipconfig / renew, I took it to our support people who confirmed that the configuration is correct, we have tried uninstalling the driver and put back in place, all in vain.  The configuration of the machine is:

  
  

  Dell Latitude E6400

  Windows 7 Enterprise x 64

  Wireless: Intel 5300 AGN

  Driver:

  Vendor: Intel

  Version: 12.4.1.4

  Digital signer: Microsoft

  Path: C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\netw5v64.sys

  The wireless works now in my office at home (I have a Windows 2003, Cisco 1200 AP domain and use WPA2 with PEAP to authenticate).  Please note that the configuration has NOT changed since the last time I was in this office (about 3 weeks ago).  We are a Windows 2008 R2 using NPS area (AFAIK).  Help desk support people are completely baffled.  The good news is that the cable works fine.

  Hi Mike,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question.

  According to the description, it seems that you are facing a problem while leaving the existing homegroup and the creation of a new group of residential.

  This problem could be due to if there are files that are always shared with other computers.

  I suggest to remove the network and then try to leave the homegroup and check if it helps.

  See the following Microsoft article:

  Leave a homegroup: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/Leave-a-homegroup

  We would be more than happy to help you if the steps above did not solve the problem.

  Hello... I have a HP G60 Notebook PC with windows 7 home premium (original)

  I was with my computer laptop to surf the net when suddenly he stopped and when I tried to start again... .the sdcreen came, and then a small dialog box pops up saying "Windows cannot complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, run the Setup again.

  When you are prompted with error cannot complete installation:

  Press SHIFT + F10 to bring up the command prompt.

  type in MMC

  Click file-> add/remove snap... (Or CTRL + M)

  Select Computer Management (Double click and finish on the Local computer)

  Click OK

  Double-click (Local) computer management-> tools in system-> local users and groups-> users-> Double click on administrator-> uncheck account is disabled-> OK

  Now make a click Administrator-> set-> Set Password right a decent password to start.

  Now restart.  Should be good to go.

  If this does not work, try next step:

  SHIFT + F10 to bring up the command prompt.

  type: CD C:\windows\system32\oobe

  type msoobe /a

  Come in

  Make a generic account and password.  hit finish (if it asks for a product key and you have one, enter it now.  If OEM/no key required, just finish).  The date/time value.  Finishing.

  Turn it back on.

  Should be good to go.

  If this is not the case, let me know what happens.
