WRT160N - can't see other computers on the network

I installed a new WRT160N and now I can't see other computers on my local network, but I can access the internet on each of them.

Y at - it a setting that I need to change or what I need to use static IP instead of DHCP addresses?

If you cannot ping the other computers on the network, then check your firewall settings or any other security software blocking the connection.

    On the general tab of the properties of your network connection to the LAN card, you should see a box under the heading "this connection uses the following items."  Most Windows XP configurations for home use have 4 entries in this box: Client for Microsoft Networks, QoS Packet Scheduler, file sharing and printers for Microsoft Networks, and Internet (TCP/IP) Protocol.

    If you don't have these, you need to install, even if you really need not the Scheduler of QoS packages.

    You seem to have got almost to the right place, but be aware that when you click on the button 'Install' in the box, you are given 3 choices: customer, Service and Protocol.  The "Client for Microsoft networks" is obviously a "customer." 'Internet (TCP/IP) Protocol' is a 'Protocol' and the other two are "Services".

  • Cannot see other computers on the network of the office.

    I can't see other computers on the network from my office, but if I type in \\xxxxxxxxxxx I'm able to get on the other computers on the network. How can I have them automatically appear?

    I'm terribly sorry for wasting your time.

    I realized what the problem was. I've implemented the new computer exactly as the old, same name and everything. Come and find the computer name of the computer being the same as the old conflict and did not again see what was on the network.

    So the trick was unplug the old computer from the network.
  • Vista can connect to other computers on the network, but not to the internet

    I have a Vista computer that I just reinstalled and it is connected through a router Thomson to a Win7 machine and internet (or at least it should be).  For some reason any Vista machine refers to the network as a public network that I can change this private and turn on discovery.  If I do that, then the machine Vista can see the Win7 machine through the router, but cannot connect to the internet.

    I tried to use the disk driver for the Thomson router on the Vista machine, but at the time wherever he tells me to connect cable internet installation program does not detect that the cable has been connected.

    Troubleshooting with software Vista suggests simply reboot the router (that I tried without success).  Needless to say that the Win7 machine connects to the internet fine.

    I was wondering whether to try to remove the connection and start again, but unable to do so because when the cable is plugged in tells me you cannot delete an active connection and when I disconnect the cable network connection disappears and so cannot be deleted.

    Hi IanRC,

    Try the following steps.

    Step 1

    You can try to disable the antivirus software on your computer and check if it works. Activate antivirus once you check the status.

    Note An antivirus program is designed to help protect your computer against viruses. You must not download or open files from sources that you do not have trust, visit Web sites that do not trust, or open attachments when your antivirus program is disabled.

    Step 2

    Try the Microsoft Fixit. Open the link below and click it on the Fixit button.

    Check if it works and post back the result.

  • Unable to see other computers on the network

    original title: office network hiccups

    We have a simple two office network computing peer2peer, just replaced one that works Window7 now the other still on xp. Seems to be able to find each other, I probably don't do something desperate but would like advice! ? PS this is the case even though we have shortcuts on the desktop of each computer in folders on the other and this work.

    See a procedure step by step for the creation of a network of Ethernet cable of two computers between Windows 7 and Windows XP with ICS

    If you use a router, then ignore all references to IP addresses as your router configuration that defines for you.

  • I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer.

    I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer. The computers are connected by a switch, fixed IP addresses that are correctly configured and point to a DNS server outside the network. When I try to open the icon for one of the computers, he asked for credentials. I try to type the user name for the computer that is sharing the resource and the password. It is the user account whose computer is loged on and belongs to the Administrators group. for example: user name (Computer1\username) password (password). It does not work. The Windows Firewall is disabled on all computers. It worked well there 2 days. I can't find anything wrong with the network settings. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

    If the portion of the machine has activated - Simple file sharing (i.e. it is XP Home or it is XP Pro with Simple (default) file sharing) - while all file sharing connections authenticate as user 'guest '.  It will not matter what username / password you provide, it will attempt to authenticate as 'guest '.  If the guest user has received a password or the guest account is not active, you will experience the symptoms you describe.

    If the serving machine running XP Pro and Simple file sharing is disabled, then you should be able to connect by specifying the user as computer\user and the password to connect.  To turn off Simple file sharing:

    Hi Devil52,

    A. What is the error message when you try to ping the computers on the network?

    B. do you have any antivirus installed on those computers?

    (C) what happens when you try to ping from a default gateway on each of these computers?

    D. you are able to access them through the computer names?

    First of all, you can try to disable the firewall and see if the problem persists.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    Second, try to ping your own IP address or disable the firewall of the router and see if you are able to ping other computers on the network. You may need to contact your ISP to disable the firewall of the router.

    Since then, we can see the computers on the network, you can try to bypass the router and other computer and let us know the result

  • CAN´t find other computers on the home network Windows.

    I have a home network windows already defined with two desktop with Windows XP and a laptop with Windows 2000. The computers are connected to a router with ethernet cables and the lap top wireless (WiFi) to the same router. Now, I'm trying to connect a fourth computer (a desk top) with Windows Vista. It works fine to connect to Internet, but I can't reach the other computers on the network. On other computers, I can see a 'new', but I don't see the others of a "new". Can someone help me with the configuration of the computer "Vista"?  Thanks in advance.  / Thomas

    Hello
     
    To home network computers running different versions of Windows, we need to make sure that what follows.
    a. ensure that all computers are in the same workgroup.
    (b) the value of the private network location type.
    c. open ports in your firewall to allow file and printer sharing.
    d. turn on additional file and printer sharing options.
    e. consider using password protected sharing.
    5 using the network card.
     
    The NIC in the network and sharing Center is a graphical view of the computers and devices on your network, showing how they are connected and including problem areas. A computer running Windows XP can be detected and appear on the network map, you may need to install the Protocol Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) on this computer.
     
    To install LLTD, visit the following link and download: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120

  • Network management problem, computer laptop Windows 7 will not find other computers on any network, however all other computers on the network can access Windows 7 laptop.

    Basically, the issue I'm having is that my laptop does not connect to any other computer to access the actions or other files.  Other computers on the network can access my computer laptop shares and files without any problems.  Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.

    What I tried:

    restarted
    uninstalling and reinstalling the files and printers, sharing maps and restart after completion
    all disabled firewall
    tried with IPv6 enabled and disabled without change, so it is currently enabled
    tried on a Wi - Fi and the differences are listed below in the section work (work is wireless)
    able to ping other comptuers
    access to other computers is permitted by other computers

    problem extends over several networks, IE I noticed it at home last night and the followed problem my laptop at work this morning.
    The problem is slightly different on the two sites.

    At home:
    I can see the other computers on the network, but I am unable to access it, even if I have permission, but other computers can access to my laptop.

    At work:
    Cannot even find other computers on the network but they can find and access my laptop.

    Asked this question in the Windows 7 forum also because the problem was between windows 7 and Vista.

    Hello

    If it has started, you can try a system restore - an update "might" have caused the problem.

    1. try a system restore back to a point before that happened. And immediately thereafter enter
    Control Panel - Windows updates - top left settings and set it to download and informs you instead
    Automatic. Leave it until you are sure that everything is OK and then you can add them one at a time
    to troubleshoot BUT click right on and HIDE all the driver updates. Also stop at day of drivers like below
    and let this value - manually search for drivers when you think you need. (See how and why to)
    stop day of drivers below.)

    How to make a Vista system restore
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-System-Restore-how.html

    To uninstall an update if you determine that there are problems - Panel - updated Windows - down left-
    Updates installed - uninstall

    I had completely forgotten the system restore!  While looking into the system restore, I found that when I moved into my new House and has cable Internet installed, the cable technology installed a program of comcast on my computer.  This caused me to not be able to connect with other computers.  After rolling back to install it before it works!   Thank you.

  • Cannot see other computers on my network

    Santa brought me a new laptop for Christmas.  I'm now 4 laptop computers on a network.  two are Windows XP home and turn in XP Pro and it is Windows 7 starter.  I have everything in the same workgroup and put the new in this group as well.  Sometimes I can connect to others of my new machine, and sometimes I can't.  Not sure why.  Also, I have tried to share folders of the new machine, but cannot open them on other machines.  Of course, since I've not had much experience with 7 I have a bit of a problem to determine what to do next.  Can anyone help?

    Thanx

    As I posted in your second post...

    You need to configure port forwarding if you want to access the guest from outside the host. You must change the VMWare NAT configuration for this file (see you second post).

    The host can access the guest without the redirect because it shares the same (virtual) network (VMnet8) with comments. Do not externel systems. They must go through the physical host NIC first. This is where redirection comes in the game.

  • Client VPN prevents internet access from other computers on the network

    Hello.

    I run Client ver 4.6.03.0021 from an office on a network of 11 computers via a hub 16-port. Internet access is through an ICS gateway to the cable modem. Once I changed the modem cable to test a backup and then switched back to the original modem. After this, only computers that have the VPN Client (running or not) could access the internet. Computers that have no customer VPN can access only certain sites. Commonly viewed sites would say "site found. Waiting for answer", but the answer would never come and IE 6.1 cling. When I would try ping sites, it would fail. However, some sites such as Google.com would work.

    On one of the computers, on a whim of head, I installed the VPN Client but have not set up a connection. Now, this computer will connect to any website I want.

    Is there a fix easier to get access to other computers on the network without installing the VPN Client on each of them?

    Thank you

    H. Adams

    Hello

    Looks like you are running in MTU problem. The reason I say it is, automatically reduces the MTU value to 1300 VPN client during the installation for the whole system. That is to say all the client computer installed VPN that have MTU from 1300.

    Try to cut down the MTU of other systems that have no VPN client installed to 1300. If it's a Windows system, you can use Dr. TCP (free).

  • Machine of Windows 7 cannot see itself or other computers on the network.

    I work with a volunteer organization, is attempting to add a new computer to their network. Add the new computer is a laptop running Windows 7 Professional (32-bit, 6.1 build 7601).

    It is one of the three computers that connect via a wireless network, with the remaining three computers connected by Ethernet.
    One of the laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 - bit, 6.1 build 7601) and the laptop rest and three desktop computers running XP Professional (5.1, build 2600).
    The laptop running Home Premium has no problem with connectivity. He can see himself and all the computers on the network (with the exception of the new Windows 7 Professional machine). The XP machines can all be seen and also the machine Windows 7 Home Premium.
    The Windows 7 Professional machine, however, cannot see itself, or one of the machines running on XP. It may, for some reason, see the Windows 7 Home Premium machine.
    I can ping each computer on the network from him and he can ping other computers. I can even connect using his IP address and access the folders and files shared like this, but nothing I have seems to change him will appear.
    I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials, neither of which has an effect any. The computers are all in the same workgroup and network machines Win 7 is set to work on both.
    I can't understand why this new computer should have these problems, I'm not a professional so there is probably something basic, I missed, but if anyone has any ideas I would be much obliged.
    Thank you very much.

  • Published the network Variables not accessible by other computers on the network

    I am trying to create a system where a computer will display network variables that can see any computer on the network, this includes a person bringing in a laptop computer and the connection for a short period.  So I was looking through a large number of forums to find an answer and tried many solutions and nothing has worked.

    This is where I am.  On a single computer if I update a variable network it appears on the DSM NOR (Distributed System Manager) under which the name of the computer and I use this variable and it is updated.  Any other computer connected to the network also appears on the DSM.  On the other computer, he sees the first computer in the DSM, but cannot see any one of the variables.  I also register the IP address of the computer, but it does not help.  If anyone has had this problem and know how to fix?  I had the same problem using my code for the project and the example code in the shared Variable Comms between Executables.Ivproj.

    Thank you for your time

    I had some problems lately with the network stream. I know that this isn't nearly the same as shared variables, but it uses the same underlying process in windows. In my case, it's the windows firewall in Windows 7 that has the problem.
