XP Pro and Home network

Sorry to bring up an old topic. I have two computers on a home network, a XP Pro and XP Home. They had been successfully networked with file sharing for some time, but a problem on the Pro machine brought me to reinstall Windows from scratch. Now I'm back to having access problems.

When I finished the reinstallation, each computer seen each other through my working group. The Pro machine could access the Home machine, but not vice versa. Today, I tried to repair the installation of Pro using my installation CD. After the repair is completed (SP L2) I checked and discovered that the situation was reverse - I could access shared folders on the computer of the computer at home Pro, but not the other way around. I then installed SP 3 and the other XP updates, and now I can't access the files in both directions.

I installed the NETBEUI protocol and enabled NETBIOS over TCP/IP on both machines. I disabled file sharing Simple box on the Pro machine and worked with the permissions in the Security tab, and I also checked the box Simple file sharing and use folders to be modified by users.  I used cmd to run net user guest/active: Yes. I used the Group Policy Editor to disable 'limit local account use of blank passwords to the local console'. I even tried to move computers to a new working group, without success. Bottom line is, according to me, that I did when I put at the beginning of the network upward some time ago, but this time the settings don't seem to be helping.

I was surprised the extra 'broke' my network places-XP update, that I put in place on the Pro machine earlier today. If anyone has any ideas of what I might have missed, I'd sure appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance.

Final complement, I found the problem - I have had to reinstall my anti-virus software when I rebuilt the Pro machine and apparently caused a hiccup with the program of antiv-virus on the home computer. When I disabled the antivirus software on the home computer, everything worked as it should.

  • Can't view the YouTube video because there is an active filter. It happens on the job and home networks and only on Firefox (15.0.1).

    After update 15.0.1 Firefox and Adobe Flash Player to 11.4, I was unable to view the media from YouTube. I was given a message: "this video is not available with the filter of education allowed.» To view this video, site network administrator will have to add to a playlist. I work for a school district and use my laptop at work so I thought that I got this message because YouTube is blocked on this network. But when I got home, I got the same message on my home network with YouTube videos. I have reset Firefox and he took care of the issue until I'm at work, and the problem happened again with the same message everywhere... I tried to post the same videos on another browser (Safari) and it works beautifully. I'm afraid that if I reset Firefox even once, I'm having the same problem.

    It is possible that YouTube set a cookie to filter which can still be seen when you connect at home. To clear cookies for youtube.com, you can use one of these:

    (1) 'dialog show Cookies' tab in Preferences/Privacy:

    Firefox > Preferences > privacy > 'view the Cookies '.

    Type yout in the search box at the top to filter the list and remove each cookie individually.

    (2) "view Cookies dialog box" in the Page Info/Security tab:

    While displaying a page on the site-

    Tools > Page Info > Security > 'view the Cookies '.

    -remove each cookie individually.

    Then, try to reload the page and see if Youtube behaves differently.

  • Networking of this computer in my home network from the desktop.

    I got the new laptop and it won't let me connect to the network. He calls it a homegroup instead, and I have already put homenetwork in place with my other computer. I need to connect this computer to the network, so that I can use the printer which is connected to the desktop computer and also use files on my desk.

    Hello

    There are homegroup that is unique to Win 7 and home network that is on all Windows OS.

    -------------------------------------

    It is history.

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Homegroup = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Network of home or work = fundamentally similar (and better) to the previous methods of the Working Group sharing which allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
    Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled).
    If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

    If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

    ------------------------------

    Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).

    In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

    When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

    * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

    * Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall computers that they are allowed to connect to.

    Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

  • Windows XP Pro vs home Installer CD - interchangeable?

    Need to enter a Windows XP Pro SP3 Recovery Console to run CHKDSK.  Only have a family WIndows XP Edition installation CD.  Are the XP Pro and Home files needed for recovery, the same?  In other words, can I use another XP Home CD to access the Recovery Console to run CHKDSK?

  • Problems connecting to a Satellite Pro 4600 for network wireless home

    Hello
    My computer has a processor Athlon 64 x 2 4200 + and 2 GB of RAM, with XP2 Pro. I have a Linksys WRT54GS broadband router and connected with Virgin Media.

    My daughter gave me an old laptop a Satellite Pro 4600 with a 747 MHz Celeron processor, 384 MB of RAM and XP2 Pro has an Intel Pro/100 VE Network adapter. I set up a Linksys Wireless - G Notebook Adapter with SRX (model No. WPC45GX), so that I could use around the House. However when I try to connect to the home network, although he "finds" a list of networks, I am unable to connect and get an error message - "Windows cannot connect to the selected network (my home network). The network can be is no longer in range. Please refresh the list of available
    networks and try again. »

    I tried to connect with laptop computer in the same room as the router, but get the same message. In the Manager of peripheral devices, network cards, the two are shown and both work properly, but in the taskbar there is a red cross shown on the two icons, they say that a network cable is unplugged, but I don't have a cable network.
    The other tells me that the wireless is not connected.

    I presume that the adapter works as it can 'see' wireless networks, I used Lynksys support to verify that all router and adapter settings are correct.
    My wife has a new laptop and is able to connect to the home network with no problems.

    Please can someone offer advice or assistance.

    for some reason, you need to turn off your wired connection (cable) and use the client of the PCMCIA wireless network card. Maybe just the problem that your system can not separate the two network connections and gets an error it s. You should also visit the site Web of Linksys and download the latest driver and the customer for the card, so you can make sure that the software is up to date.

    Another good idea would be to visit www.microsoft.com and the support center for any 'knowledge base documents' which could probably solve the problem.
    As your machine is really old and no one is using PCMCIA cards more, you may wait a long time for an answer in this forum. Maybe you should check the site from linksys for a support section. Maybe they could help you...

  • Home network with 2 PC with Windows 7 and 1 PC Windows XP. When sharing files via the MSHome network I have permission errors. How can I solve this?

    original title: cannot open or copy some files within the home network

    I have a home network that are connected by a router.

    A (main) pc is connected via a cable to a router on Windows XP pro sp3.
    2 other laptops running Windows 7 connected via Wifi.

    All of them configured to work with the workgroup MSHOME.
    On the pc main (with XP), I have a folder shared with full access, including change files. The folder contains videos that are uploaded directly to it.

    Sometimes 2 other laptops can not access some files, they see them but can't open them or copy them, I get this error:
    http://S3.PostImage.org/623foisor/image.PNG

    If I do the following:
    On my main pc I move the movie file in this folder to another folder and then bad bring it back.
    The file can be accessed and copied!

    What's wrong?!

    I'm glad that you guessed it work.

    Permissions show that "Everyone" has full access inherited, so that the list must have been made after that you have added everyone.  "Everyone" in this list without a guest user (or any user if you have active Simple file sharing) would not have permissions on this folder.

    The bases for troubleshooting are:

    1. make sure that you have the same (e.g., 192.168.0.x) intellectual property regime.

    2 make sure you have the same mask subnet, gateway, and DNS IP addresses.

    3. make sure you can ping the IP address of the other computer. Failure, just to test, make sure that you disable XP as well as any other firewall.

    4. make sure that you can test other computers by name.

    5. make sure that you have the same workgroup name (note the spaces)

    6. for purposes of troubleshooting, turn off XP and completely uninstall any other firewall software. You can always add more complexity once get you it working.

    Hi Bookworm16.

    Thanks for posting. Have you tried to manually fix the problem. Follow these steps.

    1. Click Start, click run, type regedit, and then click OK.
    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBt\Parameters
    1. In the right pane of the registry editor, delete the following values if they are present:
    2. NodeType
    • DhcpNodeType
    1. Note If the NodeType value is present, this value will replace the DhcpNodeType value. If any subkey is present and if no WINS server is configured for the client, the computer uses b-node mode. If at least one WINS server is configured, the computer uses h-node mode.
    2. Exit the registry editor.
    3. Restart the computer.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    I hope this helps!
