• Is Windows 7 file sharing allows simultaneously several user record updates

  I want to allow multiple users to read and update shared files.  I can do that with the collective dwelling characteristics of files shared in

  Windows 7?

  Essentially no. In fact, she is stuck at a level of access. If a file is opened to a single user, it must be locked read-only to another. Even if the 1st user then abandons the connection to the 2nd user held that he read only until they give up and pick it up again. This has nothing to do with the sharing of files in Windows 7, it would apply in a true client/server scenario. Network access is file level and must be complete, you can have a single user update a sector and another one another in the same file.

  Even at a database level place opportunistic locking on records to avoid 2 contradictory written which takes place at the same time, how a system can focus on accessing a field between 2 users.

  The most obvious solution in a client/server for documents environment is SharePoint, but even that files 'reserved' users to restrict the other until there is only new.

  The classic example of what I saw was at the time of the BACK where the networking addon could allow 2 files of the same name to be created in the same directory because he did not have a functional locking system does not work. When a second user writes the file, that it doesn't have the same identity that the first has so his own writing, 2 files of the same name in a directory could not happen, but it did.

• Problem between Windows XP Home and Windows 7 Starter of file sharing

  Hello, I have a problem with file sharing: my desktop computer running Windows XP Home Edition and my netbook runs Windows 7 Starter Edition.

  On Windows XP, I shared a folder: Win 7 is able to open the directory and the files in the list, but there is no way I can open any file in the folder XP, nor that I can transfer the any of these files to my netbook.
  All I get is an error "access denied."

  The XP Workgroup is the same as the 7 home network, and the users have all the privileges on both computers.

  Can you help me to sort out what is happening, please?
  Thank you.
  B.

  As a first step, you have XP Home, which means that the 'Simple file sharing' is applied on this machine.  In addition, this means that any network connection on your XP Home of any another machine machine is forced to authenticate you as a user 'Guest', regardless of what a privilege that may be the real user.  In from here, it would seem that the 'Guest' user doesn't have privilege for the files or folders that you share.  To resolve this problem, you must change the access permissions to these files.

  If you drag (move) files on your computer in your share folder, the origin on the file permissions will be maintained.  On the contrary, I would say that you copy the file to the shared folder by dragging with the right button of the mouse and select 'Copy' instead of 'move '.  A copied file will end with permissions for the destination folder that will be generally more suitable for sharing.

  To the files and folders that are already in this folder, to change permissions, you must Access the 'Security' tab under the Properties screen.  In XP Home, this is possible if you log in as administrator in "safe" mode  To start your computer in Safe Mode (repeatedly tap the F8 during the startup key key), connect you as an administrator user, navigate to the file or the folder with problems of access, right-click on it, select 'Properties', select the 'Security' tab and set security such as 'everyone' (or 'guest') has the privilege of access you want.

• I want to limit the file sharing on a home network, Windows XP Pro (working group) to a specific user on a different computer.

  I can't get this username entered with success because I'm limited to only users on the computer, I'm trying.  I have Windows XP off file sharing simple.  Both computers running XP Pro and I can share the folder, but it is open to ALL.  Is there a way to do this?

  I would like to try to explain how it works.  You have XP Pro on Computer1 and you have disabled Simple file sharing.  It is a step in the right direction.  The facts are that the file exists on the computer 1 and is 1 computer to control what external connection gets access to this file.  Computer 1 can only validate combinations of username/password names he knows.  Is not in a domain, computer environment 1 includes only names of user and password that exists on the computer 1.  He cannot know or trust any combination of name of user and password that does not exist within itself.  The normal method, most people use is to create the same user on computer 1 that exists on the computer that connects and gives the same password that is used on the computer that connects to this user.  If this is the case, the external user connects seamlessly and have access if 1 computer gave this authorization to the user in this file.  Access can be controlled by right-clicking on the file or folder, select 'Properties' and then use the 'Security' tab to generate an access matrix.

  Authentication: When connecting to the computer 1 from another computer, computer 1 search first if the username on the computer connection exists on the computer 1.  If the user name of the user on the computer connection exists on computer 1 and passwords on both computers to match, the connection is established.  If the passwords do not match, the connection is refused.  If the user name of the logged in user does not match a user on computer 1, then the 'Guest' user is attempted.  If the guest user is not protected by a, then the user will resemble the user 'Guest' and 'Guest' appropriate access.  If the guest user is disabled on Computer1, and then the computer connection displays a name of User/Login screen asking the user to provide credentials (name and password) 1 computer can use and recognize to check that the user.  If a name of user and password recognizes that computer 1 is entered, then computer 1 authenticates the user with this credential.

  Of course, once authenticated, the user will have access to these files to which permissions have been granted to this user authenticated according to the KB307874.  XP cannot grant permissions to users, he knows not (obviously) beyond the 'Guest '.

  Bottom line is that you have discovered in a domain environment (workgroup), you MUST authenticate as a legitimate user who is (and who is not disabled) on Computer1.

• How can I connect Windows XP to several networks, Wi - Fi for internet and the other for file sharing?

  On windows XP, I need to connect to two different networks. Free wifi for the internet and the other for file sharing.

  Different gateways, different static address, same subnet mask. But there is problem when operating simultaneously and must

  a network must be disabled. Is it possible to run simultaneously?

  original title: served various networks simultaneously on windows xp

  Go to where you have configured the static IP addresses for your network adapters.  Leave the "default gateway" blank for your local file sharing adapter and insert a valid default gateway for your wifi Internet adapter.  Of course, this will limit your adapter in a single subnet - which should be OK for use at home or small office to share local files.

  This should work as long as the two physical subnets have two different subnet numbers. In general, this means that the first three digits of the IP address of the adapter can not be the same on both adapters - if they are, then you need to make one of the subnets. (i.e. one is 192.168.1.xxx and the other would be 192.168.2.xxx).  This is usually accomplished in the router configuration page.

  2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  Usually, this would happen if you have any third-party security software installed on the computer.

  I suggest you temporary disable the security software installed on the computer and check if it helps.
