• Network - NetBIOS and working group

  Hello.

  Sorry if it's a little silly question, but I'm not very good with computers and just had a question about something. I get the fact that the NetBIOS name is generated on random based on the name of my laptop, but the fact in the "WORKING group" which means I'm connect to something or offers other computers to share files and so on, on with myself?
  

  It is only used if you file sharing with Windows machines.

• Replacement for the Working Group to el Capitan Manager?

  I recently built new servers, intending using open directory.

  The equipment I use are the new mac mini servers, with two 1 TB drives and 16 GB of memory.

  Historically I have used Workgroup Manager for direct starting, deployment of the printer files, user groups and others.

  Is there a replacement for the Working Group Manager who no longer works with el capitan (10.11.3)?

  The replacement is the Manager of service profile. See the built-in help of server for instructions begin. This is beta-quality software, at best.

• Working Group stopped after the installation of the new wireless router

  My working group stopped working after the installation of the new wireless router.  Router was switched were to move from DSL to fiber optic.

  I have a very simple home with two laptops working group, the two are connected with a wireless router.  A PC is running XP with the updates and service packs; the other PC is Windows 7 Home premium.  This working group was running without problems for a few years.  The Working Group has been used to share files between two laptops.  Internet access was through the DSL wireless router and print was with a wireless printer, without going through the working group.

  I had my DSL set out to free fiber optic last week, which meant that a new wireless router has been installed by my local phone company.  Internet works fine; wireless printer works.  The working group no longer works.  When I try to connect from XP to Win7 and I click on mode workgroup computers, I get this message:

  WorkGroupName is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

  The network path was not found.

  I tried to create a new working group, the new name for the same workgroup on both machines, but this did not help.  Working groups are supposed to be simple; This seems to be a problem on the new router - telco tech support says that nothing is stuck on the router. I don't believe them.

  What version of XP you use (Home or Pro)?

  Can you access the Win 7 a XP computer?

  You have identical accounts, passwords on both computers?

  If all that was done was to change routers without making any changes on the computers, the most likely cause of the problem is a third party (other than Windows) firewall on at least one of the computers.  Being by default, a router automatically assigns IP addresses to computers on your local network.  Different brands of routers, but use different address ranges.  For example, Cisco/Linksys routers typically use the 192.168 form addresses. 1.1 with 192.168. 1. 254, while the D-Link routers typically use 192.168.1 to 192.168.0.0. 254.  A firewall configured to allow only the first IP range blocks communication to the scope of the latter.

  So... What is the name and version of your anti-virus program?
  What other security software is installed?

  On every laptop computer, open a command prompt window
  for XP: start > run > cmd > OK
  for Win 7: type cmd.exe in the search box and press enter
  In the black command prompt window, type the following command and press enter
  ipconfig

  Please provide the values for the following for the adapter wireless of each computer
  IP (XP)
  IPv4 address (Win 7)

• Disable access working group

  I want to disable access to the computers of the Working Group, i.e. prevent some users from accessing any thing shared on the network. User type usually computer name in run or any window of the Explorer to access shared data. I want that it should be disabled while a user types IP or name of the computer to access.
  Is it possible to prevent certain users and computers to access whats shared on the network?
  I use Windows XP on all systems and all computers are connected to the "working group".

  Although I have not tried, you can try to remove the 'Client for Microsoft Networks' machines you want to access network shares.

  Go to the network, control panel right click on your network connection, and then select "Properties".

  then select "Client for Microsoft networks" in the login window and uncheck it or click on "Uninstall".

  This should remove the access to files via file sharing on other machines from this computer.  It also removes access to the printer if you print to a printer attached to another computer via a USB cable.  (It should not affect printing to a TCP/IP connected printer).  Computers should still be able to use Internet Explorer or access the internet.

• How to share a folder in a working group for some PC

  Hello
  I have a working group with the name of workgroup1.
  There are about 10 PCs in this working group with the names of PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4...
  I have a folder in PC1 with folder1 name and I want to share it in the Working Group
  I want that only users of PC2 and PC3 to see this folder
  Please me tips

  For starters, Windows file sharing does not care and cannot distinguish any particular computer access.  Windows protects access to files by user name and password.  Therefore, on PC1, you must create a username and password for everyone you want to access the files on this computer.  Then, they authenticate from any computer with this user name and password.

  Secondly: For Windows to distinguish a user to another user, "Simple file sharing" must be disabled.  Active Simple file sharing, all users that connect to the service computer will always authenticate as user 'Guest' and, therefore, you can control access to any file or folder it by individuals.  Simple file sharing cannot be disabled on XP Home, to support this feature, your PC1 must be XP Pro edition.

  Assuming that you did this now, everything you need to know to disable Simple file sharing and establishing user access to files is in this article:
  "How to disable the file sharing simple and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP"

• The working groups in my network places became inaccessible.

  The working groups in my network places became inaccessible.  I can reach the individual computers if I type the name or IP address, but I can't seem to them through network neighborhood.  Is there a setting somewhere hand who has caused this?  He used to work very well, this has only started happening in the last two weeks.  It began with a single computer not being able to be seen and grew up in the area of network together.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hi Mike,.

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         You get the error message?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Follow these steps:

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

  Step 2: If the problem does not still in safe mode, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state of the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

  (a) click Start, run.

  (b) type msconfigand click OK.

  (c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

  (d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.

  (e) when you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  Method 2: Temporarily disable the security software.

  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 do not 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 during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 3: Follow the steps in the article.

• How to remove a computer from my working group under XP and Windows 7?

  We have recently implemented a network composed of our three computers (2 XP) Home Office and 1 Windows 7 to share files and printers.

  However, we found its malfunction and could not share what we expect.  One of the reasons, we can see it, could be one of the computers have been infected.

  So, we try to remove this computer from the working group.

  However, no matter how hard I searched on Internet, there is no way to remove the infected computer's existing working group.

  There that experts can help us?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  You cannot remove a computer from a working group, but you can change the name of the working group.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/295017

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/51711-workgroup-name-view-change.html

  But that will not necessarily mean that they are not accessible by other computers on the network, or it will necessarily make the other less likely to be infected through this PC computers.

  The only way to "withdrawal" of a computer on a network is to unplug the network cable or remove the name of the wireless network.

  If you are concerned about a possible infection, you must get the malware to day and scan for malware protection.

  However, I suspect it's more likley your problems are caused by the lack of knowledge in the topic network different Windows operating system. This can help...

• How can I remove my pc of a working group

  When I was installing my wireless router I inadvertently created a working group. I don't want to be part of a working group, but cannot find a way to retire to a workgroup and share anything with anyone.

  When you set up a network on a single computer or multiple computers, Windows automatically creates a workgroup and gives it a name.

• "Cannot access working group on some computers running XP - ' &#60; name of working group &#62; is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource ".

  I have a home with 4 PC network - one of them is running Windows 7 Home Premium (with homegroup disabled) and others running XP Pro.  The XP machines is called 'Server' and the server and the computer services browser running and set to automatic.  Two other computers, called "Notebook" and "Dell", as well as the machine Windows 7 have no file and sharing printers enabled and have specifically the Server service is disabled.

  My problem is that one of the two XP client machines cannot access the working group.  Let me be clear about this: I open Windows Explorer and click on "My network places"-> "entire network"-> "Microsoft Windows network", there is then a second 5-10 break and then my workgroup name is displayed.  When I click on the name of the Working Group, there is another ~ 10 second pause and then I get a message that says error " is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have permissions.  A device attached to the system does not work. ', where is the name of my group to work for other days, after some of the computers are restarted, I find that the XP client has absolutely no problem with that; but the other now has this same problem.  In other words, the problem going on between two XP clients.

  Let's analyze: I have Windows on all PC firewall and any other firewall program.  I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and my anti-virus (temporarily), program without effect.  This may not be a problem with the way I've set up my actions because the error occurs when I try to click on the task force rather than a shared resource.  This cannot be a problem with a specific XP client because at different times, each of the two PCs worked perfectly without any changes of configuration made between the two.  It could be a problem with the server settings; but I don't see what it could be.  I tried editing

  HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters and changing

  IRPStackSize from 21 to 45, then 50.  I also tried to change the size of 2 to 3.  I restarted the server and the client XP and had no effect.

  I don't have the same account of user configured on all three machines.  However, this cannot be the issue because the problem occurs when I click on the task force, before the server name is still displayed.  In addition, each of these two XP clients have connected with their existing user accounts at times.

  I tried the Wizzard of configuration network running on all four machines, without effect.  I tried a lot of things, most of which I can't remember.  I'm at the end of my mind.  Help, please.

  JW,

  Thanks for the continued support.

  By the advice of IPCONFIG, I looked at the registry for all computers and found EnableProxy wasn't there.  According to the documentation by default to 0, which is what we want.  However, I added it to all the computers and left it set to 0 and restarted the computer.  The node Type still said 'unknown '.

  Thanks for the info on the master browser.

  The ""Network location cannot be reached"when you access actions."
  the article talks about Windows 2003 Server and none of the symptoms mentioned relate to this situation.

  The "network adapter advanced troubleshooting for Windows workstations" is on hardware troubleshooting.  I think that it's probably not a problem because the computer has no trouble to access the internet, which is not possible if the card network are not working.

  I went through the AutoCorrect entry to reset the TCP/IP stack, even if the article describes symptoms such as difficulty to access the internet...  And...  THIS MARKET!

  After re-booting, the PC that was in trouble can now access the working group.  All other PCs can always too (have not tried to restart all over again).  AWESOME!  I can't thank you enough!

  I re-post if the syptoms happen; but for now, we can consider this issue RESOLVED.

  Thank you 1 million,

  Adam

• Moved from home office computer. Try to connect to the home network. Working Group changed now it won't let me connect you to Windows. It is the search for field. What can I do now?

  My TI guy told me to do the following...

  go to my computer, and then click Properties. Then go in the name of the computer from a network to a working group. I entered the name of my working group. Then it tells me to restart so I did.

  Now when I try to get into windows that connect, when I enter the username and password he tells me to check and make sure that they are correct and check the field. It does give me an option to choose a domain.

  It's husband's computer and I need to run quickly. Any help would be appreciated.

  Note please. I am a novice user and that you will need as more detailed instructions you can give.

  Thank you

  BTW - Windows XP Professional is installed on the PC.

  Not good.

  When you remove a computer from a domain, and put in a workgroup, you must ensure that you have a local user account with administrative privileges created on the machine before removing the domain.  Maybe the built-in Administrator account will work, but in most domain environments, the default password [White] is replaced by a different password.  Microsoft has an article that deals with this:

  "You can not connect after you remove the computer from the domain.
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/317049 >

  Your technician COMPUTER should have known this would be a problem.  If you are a novice user and you can not access the built-in Administrator account, then your best bet to get must return to the domain and have your guys IT re - join to the domain.  Make sure you have a local user with administrative privileges created before withdrawing again to the field.

  Note that you normally will not have to remove a computer from a domain to make it work in a home-networking environment (working group).  You should be able to connect using the credentials cached [field] and your home network must always be visible to you.
