• Sharing on windows 7 homegroup problem

  I installed windows 7 homegroup as the video tutorial on Microsoft. But I can not enter the library on the network of the homegroup. Please help me. It is important for me.

  Hi Kathy,

  Do you have an error message when you enter the library on the network of the homegroup?

  Are various reasons which are responsible for not having access to the homegroup:

  a: Network discovery can be disabled

  b: the other computers in your homegroup can be turned off, hibernating, or not at home; or may have left the homegroup.

  c: Other people in your homegroup might not have shared libraries or folders.

  d: the homegroup password might have been changed on a computer that was then immediately turned off or went into a State of sleep or hibernation, but the new password was not immediately introduced on other computers in the homegroup.

• Windows 8 homegroup via wireless with Security Windows 7 computer password warning

  At first I apologize for being so inept, but I do not understand how computers communicate with each other.
  Never have and it frustrates me no end. I don't know that I do what infinitely more complicated than it really is.

  I have two computers, Windows 8, Windows 7, and I want to share/move files between them.
  As I understand it, this means that none of the standard XP compatibility problems are involved.
  I got the different residential group folders and pages so I don't know where they are and what they are asking.
  Both computers come with their name on each of the other networks on libraries, etc., framed in folders.
  Windows 8 has a homegroup computer put in place with its files to share.
  Windows 7 sees this homegroup, so I'm sure I'm OK with the basic plan.

  If I click on the symbol of the other computer under the sign of the network on one or the other, I get ask username and password of Windows security.
  What user name and password, they are referring to?
  The password created for me in the homegroup section?
  Is the user name that I just create or should it be the name of the computer?
  Is the name and the password for my router wireless never involved?
  I would like to be the main computer of Windows 8, but I must have each computer to join the other homegroup

  I also have a group of work involved on the Windows 8, generically named Workgroup.
  When I go to the systems to confirm or change the name of the computer, if I select the Working Group, I get the following:
  You cannot join a computer to a domain running from this edition of Windows 8.
  Two computers, when I get quick security, yet have a domain name.
  Should I worry about this?
  The Working Group will be distinct from the Homegroup if I set up one for work?

  Again, I apologize for my inability to grasp some of these things.
  Believe me, nobody likes less than me.

  Hello

  I want to tell you that you can try to enter the username and password created in the homegroup and the audit section.

  You can create a homegroup on one computer and what to do as the master computer and make other computers to join the homegroup.

  I suggest you check out these links for more information about homegroup.

• Add a homegroup password after that put Windows in place is over and a password was not entered during the set up process

  Hello

  I had a hard drive crash and had a new hard drive installed.  At the end of the recovery process, I was asked to answer questions such as the choice of a language.  I also had the opportunity to put a password in a homegroup. Not entered a password.  BIG MISTAKE.  I can't reach my home group now because I do not have a password.  I don't have the ability to change the password that I never entered one in a first time.  Unless someone can help me, it seems that my only option is to make the process of recovery everywhere.  My concern, there is that I won't be able to download Microsoft Office almost again because it won't let me this time.  I activated once and he didn't allow me to activate again. But he did.  I think that he won't let me activate a third time.  Can someone tell me where I can go to add a password to my homegroup.  No help from HP or Microsoft Windows has been useful.  I have Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium.

• Can't join a homegroup error "Windows can't detect a homegroup on this network."

  Original title: Cannot join a homegroup

  I have 4 PCs in my Home Network, called "IqbalHome". Two of them are desktop computers (both are a Dell Optiplex 760 with Windows 8 Enterprise) and two of them are laptops (Dell N4050 with Windows 8 Enterprise and HP Pavilion with Windows 8 Enterprise g4). All windows are updated and activated.
  Now, my Homegoup is running on Dell N4050 with Windows 8 enterprise and other computers have joined it with success, but when I try to join my new G4 HP Pavilion, it takes 4-5 minutes in the treatment and then says that "Windows can't detect a homegroup on this network. To create a new Homegroup click OK and open homegroup in Control Panel. ', and I can't even open its resources from the 'network' in my computer.
  I checked the 'advanced settings sharing' of 'Network and sharing Center' in the control panel and both have the same settings and connected to the network as a private network wireless. I tried all solutions here are http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/homegroup-problems-in-windows, but could not get this to work.
  These are the network settings for computers:
  (1) connected to the Tenda W150D WiFi and ADSL modem
  (2) HP Pavilion has "192.168.0.4" IP and Dell N4050 "192.168.0.50' with the same mask subnet, gateway and DNS.
  (3) advanced sharing settings are the same.
  (4) network discovery is running and all the services are great too.
  (5) HP with 192.168.0.4 can get ping 192.168.0.50 in 2-3 ms, but when I try to go through the network, it is said, 'Path network not found' and when I diagnose the problem, he said, "the remote device or resource accepts the connection".
  The confusing thing is that I can still access the Dell N4050 on other computers and use its shared resources, but the problem is only with HP Pavilion. I really don't like Windows to do this and I'm planning to switch to Linux as Windows is not a developer friendly environment, there are a lot of annoying things in it.
  Any kind of help will be really appreciated.

  Hello

  Did you make any changes before the show?

  Method 1:

  Temporarily disable the software antivirus (and any other security software) and the firewall on the computer as a test and check if this solves the problem follow the link below:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  If disabling the antivirus software solves the problem, you may need to configure the settings of the antivirus as a result program.

  Note: make sure that you enable the antivirus software, other security and firewall programs.

  Warning: 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.

• AC2400 (E8350) router cannot map USB hard drive in Windows network.

  Hi all

  I recently bought the Linksys AC2400 wireless router and a USB 3 Western Digital Elements 2 TB hard drive.

  The network works perfectly, except for the USB hard drive. The firmware on the router recognizes it okay, but in the windows network, I can't access your hard drive. I simply get a path not found error.

  I tried:

  Y access inside or outside Windows Homegroup.

  -Re - formatting in the linksys configuration (Fat32... There is room for improvement)

  -Test the USB drive directly into the PC, works perfectly and formatted in NTFS.

  -Turn off all firewalls.

  -Tried the port USB2/Esata instead of the USB3

  Also, from another computer on the network, I get the same error.

  Pre-installed on the hard drive was a mediaserver program called Twonky. He wants autoconnet to my router using port 9000, but the web interface I get then does nothing. Also when I enable the mediaserver configuration linksys website, he created a mediaserver in windows network, wth pilots twonk. But I can't change that.

  When I test the ftp server, I had access to the hard drive without any problem. This suggests that it is not a compatibility problem.

  I could also map the Windows ftp server, but that does not work on my mediaplayer, I need for this network interface.

  Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong and why windows is unable to connect to your hard drive?

  I didn't install the new version of firmware, because the changelog mentions nothing about the functions of the USB or storage.

  I've added a few photos with the settings, it could be useful.

  THX in advance for any response.

  

  Map of old-school reader:

  1. Open the file Explorer or (right click computer and 'Map network drive')
  2. Click "Map network drive" in the top menu
  3. Choose the drive letter
  4. Enter "\\192.168.1.1\" or "\\192.168.1.1\your-share-name".
  5. Add identifying information if access to the secure folder is enabled "Admin" and password

• Homegroup asking "Network password" when access to the computers in the homegroup

  I noticed this in the last week or two.  So far, my home group has worked very well.

  I have 2 PC under Windows 7 connected via homegroup, a x 64 final running, the other under Home Premium x 64.  The Home Premium computer is now asked a "network password" then access folders/libraries shared the ultimate computer.  It wasn't a problem before last week.  Until a week ago, I could just click on my homegroup from the Home Premium computer, then click the name of the ultimate computer that appears in the homegroup and finally click on shared folders/libraries and it will open the folder/library.

  Parameters are,

  • Advanced network and sharing Options are all set by default on both including letting Windows HomeGroup connections.
  • Network location is defined on each home.
  • The homegroup password is the same on each.
  • Credential Manager shows [ComputerName] \HomeGroupUser$, correct password and persistence is on each Local computer.
  • The two computers are connected wireless 802.11 g via a Linksys WRT400N router, each using a dynamic IP (DHCP) address.

  Therefore, I can access files/libraries shared the Home Premium to ultimate PC homegroup without being prompted to enter a password for the 'network '.  I can access internet from every computer with no problems.

  I tried to leave the homegroup on each computer, recreated on each homegroup, deleted the files IDStore.sst on each, all to nothing does not.  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  ZZaR

  Well, I seem to have perhaps fallen on something that may have solved my problem, at least for now.  This morning, I've renamed the full name of the computer to my Home Premium by removing 1 character of existing name.  Of course, I was invited to restart for the changes to take effect.  I restarted and then on the next opening of the next session, I renamed full name of the computer to my Home Premium to what it was originally.  Once, I have been asked to restart for the changes to take effect.  After the reboot, I clicked on my homegroup, and from there I clicked on my ultimate computer that appears in my homegroup.  To my surprise, the shared library icons have been restored to their default appearance; documents, music, photos and video.  I clicked on each of the four libraries and each opened with full (default read-only) access to the content of each library.  I was not invited to a "network password" this time!

  If renaming the name of my Home Premium computer twice, once to a new name and then again its original name did somehow fix the problem, this means that the share of aid to the full name of the computer had some kind become corrupted the previous week?  This could be the reason for the "Network password" prompt?  In any case, my home group is once more working properly between computers in my Home Premium and Ultimate.  Touch wood.

• Cannot join the homegroup

  I have two computers windows 7. One is a desktop computer and one is a laptop. I have a printer connected to my desktop computer. I'm trying to implement a homegroup on my desktop, so I can print from the files from my laptop and my desktop on my laptop access.

  I use AT & T as ISP and received a 2WIRE router/gateway to AT & T (Uverse).

  I access Internet through a wired connection from my desktop to the router/gateway and I have access to the Internet via a wireless connection from my laptop to the router/gateway.

  I have the driver for my printer on both computers.

  I created a homegroup on my desktop computer. I have received and printed the password of the residential group created on the desktop.

  When I on my laptop, I don't get the screen asking to join the home group. The screen I received looks like the screen that allows me to create a home on my lap top group.

  I want the House Group to set up on my office and share with my laptop.

  I spent reviewing the documents on the Internet to diagnose the problem without success.

  I don't think that my lap top using the correct network to find the homegroup (just a guess). I need to be able to connect but computers to the Internet without degradation of the service.

  Any help would be appreciated.

• Signed to homegroup, but cannot actually access anything

  I created a homegroup on my desktop pc and joined the homegroup on my laptop (I had the window that says "join the homegroup." and clicked the Finish button. Then when I tried to access the homegroup, it's all I get.

  

  I tried the convenience store, have the same setting on both computers sharing, made sure neither sleep or hibernation, there's nobody on the PC, the two are defined as a home network and I left and joined the homegroup on both computers. I don't know what the problem is or how to solve my current problem. When I try to choose the icons nothing happens. I went through countless tutorials to put in place the homegroup, and every time that's what I get.
