Windows file - sharing continues to change the IP address

Access my mac to a Windows files using Windows file sharing option. I usually map a drive as


my-computer-name\share

and it works very well, though some days it does not work and I need to enter an IP address or a different computer name. When I look in the config of mac, it says

"Windows users can access your computer at smb://172.xx.xx.xxx.

or

"Windows users can access your computer at smb://someothercomputername.

I have a new IP address every day I log on the office network (dhcp), but I should be able to use my computer name to map a drive.  My merge network setting is NAT.  All this experience?

Thank you

Andrew

In the Windows virtual machine, go to a command prompt and type "ipconfig" (without the quotes).  The IP address of the gateway that is actually the virtual NETWORK card that Fusion creates on the Mac.  Therefore, replace the number with what your gateway 172.x.x.x number.  This gateway number does not change.

    My printer Photosmart D100a wireless continues to change the IP address when the router reboots.

    Another idea is to unnstall HP software (using its uninstall program), then restart your PC.  Finally, download the latest version of the software for your printer from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.

    Meanwhile, keep your antivirus operational.  The installer configure it for you during the installation of the printer.

    It depends on the model of the router.

    Assuming you have a House with a router, connect as admin (the installer first person the router must have the password). list of connected devices, if there is a next button that said 'reserve ip address', click next to the printer, and you are finished.

  • E2500 continues to change the IP address of hosting my DVR security cameras

    Recently trashed a UPS serving the E2500, brief now any power surge or glitch causes the router to assign a new IP to a connected ethernet security DVR.  Is it possible to assign the DVR a permanent IP address for other computers/devices on the local network must not be continuously updated to access the DVR?

    I don't have the same gui as you version but I think that the dhcp reservation is under status, LAN, then feservations dhcp.  If you put it there it should get the same ip every time the router restarts unless you make a zero factory which destroys all configs. If it does not come back, but it should solve your problem.

  • Network discovery, file sharing settings keep changing by itself and Alltel to set the network location continues to ask the wireless device

    former title: network location settings. Discovery of NW. File sharing. public folder sharing. AVG 9.0 'tools' and network connections.

    My Alltel Wireless device again set the network location. And continues to change my network settings for the discovery of NW to:, as well as file sharing for: file public and sharing: read-only.  I have AVG Security 9.0 and under 'tools' and connections network shows several svchost with States reading service connections listening and unknown. I don't want no access to my computer and cannot find any computer consultants who can get this to stop. What can I do?

    Hello
     
    1. the options apply automatically on?
    2. have you made changes on the computer recently?
    3. have you installed any Alltel Wireless application to manage network connections?
    4. What is the current network location type on? Is it home, work or public?
    Network discovery and file sharing settings depend on the network location. For examle, if you set the network as a public location it turn on file sharing.  So I would ask you to turn all the parameters and then choose the type of network and check if the parameters change again.

    Method 1.
    I recommend you to check if the problem exists in clean boot. May be a third party application is causing these changes.
    See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.
     
    Method 2.
    Also check the settings under tools in AVG security suite. You may need to check with the help of AVG on it.
    Or you can disable the antivirus software and check if that causes this behavior.
    Temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and check if the problem persists.
    Disable the anti-virus software
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Joyfnp,

    O the date system is not accurate?

    O since when are you facing this problem?

  • Bridge continues to change the selection of the sort each time that I reopen it the Bridge window... WHY?

    Bridge continues to change the selection of the sort each time that I reopen it the Bridge window... WHY?

    I continue to get "sort by modified date" but each whenever I open it a window that it is for manual selection.

    I searched the preferences but impossible to find something to help.  It didn't used to do this...

    John

    Well, I solved the puzzle myself.

    I noticed that somehow a stray .psd file was stuck in my side bar of the Mac Finder.  Don't ask me how it got there.

    At the beginning I couldn't delete it – until I tried a Mac forum and they suggested I hold down the command key and drag it off... to poof!

    It worked.

    And when I went back to bridge - now the bad behavior disappeared!  And when I close the window Bridge and reopen - the choice to "classify" same home!

    Yay... it's a small step for me, and one small step for computerkind.

    Hello

    I have observed this for a few months now on my windows Server 2008 domain (all my clients are windows 7) and it drives me crazy.  My wireless nodes #1 bandwidth consumption is taken by 'Windows file shaing' on ports 137, 138, and 445.  I tried to pull the bandwidth on these ports on all of my users wireless using the wireless controller, then the claim of the user than even a small file as 100 MB ' would take hours to download.  If windows 7 OS is too talkative, I prefer to go back to windows XP?

    Lightroom - can I import RAW files, re - order, then change the numbering of the original RAW file?

    I used two different cameras and several memory cards to shoot a recent wedding. Unfortunately, time of the camera were a different time, so the time of capture does not correctly order them. Obviously neither does the name of the file...

    Thank you

    Natalie

    Yes, after you use Lightroom to correct the capture time in the files themselves, in the library the library module > rename Photo allows you to rebuild all the filenames selected from scratch. Just customize the preset file name. Use the chips here, you can set up a change of name that begins with a numbering sequence (so that they appear in the order you want) and including the Date, hour, Minute, second in addition to other chips or custom text to add to each file name.
