I've got 2 Vista computers hooked to a Linksys router and that goes to a Cable modem. Both PC access internet OK, my PC can see and access my wifes, and my wife's PC detects my PC. However, when she tries to open my PC or connect to my printer, she gets an error that the DNS server could not resolve my PC name.
View 4 RepliesI have set up a VPN server on my desktop computer. The primary reason for setting up this VPN is to be able to access my home network shares, networked printers, VNC, as well as web pages not accessible to the internet on my laptop while away from home. While testing out my VPN at a friends house I found that I cannot access my network shares, etc by their host name, but am able to access some things but only by using the local IP address of the computer in my home network.
The setup:
VPN Server: Windows Vista Ultimate (x64 SP1)
VPN Client: Windows Vista Home Premium (x64 SP1)
I know I am lousy at explaining things if there is any more info needed let me know. Please note that I'm not a network admin by trade so please keep that in mind with any responses.
I'm using Vista Home Premium 32bit and here's my problem: I'm trying to resolve some issues I'm having with finding files within folders on my computer. For instance, when I open a folder and type the name of some files into the "Search Box" (be it an .mp3 or .jpg) no matter what part of certain file names I type in, for some reason Search cannot find them even though I know for sure that the folder contains the file I'm looking for. But interestingly, when I type whatever file names that couldn't be found in the previous way into the search box at the bottom of the start menu it can locate the file. Why is this? I forgot to add, I've also tried rebuilding the index which didn't resolve the problem.

My real recommendation is that you actually do it. I was doing some renovations in my house over the holidays and moved my main computer from one floor to my new home office on another floor and when I turned it back on I got a flurry of blue screens of death. (Apple users, commence snickering.) For 2009, resolve to back up your computer files, and do it : Tech : Ventura County Star. Do you back up your files/computer?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been pulling my hair out over this one. I suspect it may have had malware infection, ran combofix, TrendMicro Sysclean, reset IPv4, disabled IPv6, reset the Winsock, uninstalled Expired Norton 360, installed Microsoft Security Essentials, tried it with the Firewall on and off, checked the registry for as many Winsock Redirectors and firewalls I could think of. I don't know of anything I've missed, I'm hoping someone here can think of something.
I can ping IP Addresses, but cannot ping any name, not even localhost. The DNSCache is caching names but it won't answer for application that resolves names, Including IE, Google Chrome, Firefox, tracert, nothing! It can browse the Internet with all installed browsers, if it uses my proxy server, since the proxy resolves names for the browser, but if it depends on the DNS Resolver Service it won't work. It is Vista basic that belongs to a customer and is not a member of a domain. I've posted pings, ipconfig /all, and net start below.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis computer is new to me and so is vista - I have had no problem with email because I have always gone to my own ISP via explorer. Today, however, I wanted to reply to a craigslist seller and found that my computer was trying to send the email with windows mail (and not sending!)- it was asking me questions like who my outgoing server and incoming server is - can anyone tell me what I need to do? Do I have to use windows mail or can my computer be set to default to yahoo email like my old one was?

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy power went down and when it returned, I could not access the internet via my Cisco Linksys router, model WRT350N. Windows diagnostics returned the subject error message. After 12 hours of researching and trying a number of "fixes" suggested on many forums, including this one, I resolved this problem by simply updating the firmware on the router. I'm guessing that some Windows Vista update caused an incompatibility and when the computer and the router were rebooted after the power outage, the incompatibility was activated.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI only get this problem on two wireless networks, either the one at my home, or the one in my University house. I get intermittent internet, it cuts out, sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes an hour, and the only way to get it back is by resetting the router, and running a diagnose + repair from Network and Sharing Centre and then by Resetting the Wireless Router, which doesn't always fix the problem. Sometimes I get a "Windows cannot connect to DNS Server" error, and sometimes it just fixes itself.

It has 4 drivers that weren't installed b/c Vista x64 requires that they be signed. Is there a way around this, or am I just not allowed to have VMWare Server? If it's not possible, I'm open to other alternatives. Assuming it's free like VMWare Server
View 6 Replies View Relatedi have this USB Server made by Elite Silicon its basically a 4 Port USB Server. I can install it and use it fine on XP but on my vista machine it detects it and installs the software and can see the devices in the software supplied how ever i cannot connect to it and it brings up the following error:
USB Server Bus does not exist. Please uninstall the USBServer and reinstall it. I have done this but its made no difference. I dont know if it just doesnt like vista or doesnt like it as im using a 64bit version. Does anyone know where i might be able to find some better drivers for this. As vista doesnt seem to be able to find any. All the files on the cd that come with it are in one MSI which i cant extract them out of either.
As you may have noticed we are having major server issues ATM. I never expected this much traffic and tbh the server just cant cope. I will continue to try to sort it out for the next few hours but if I cant I will switch the site to my backup linux server as this windows box just doesnt seem upto the job.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI know that this is a popular topic, I've read all the solutions I can find but I'm still stumped. I am using Vista to connect to my work network via a vpn to our ISA 2007 server. When connected to the VPN, NSLOOKUP works but all other programs (like PING and IE) can not resolve the address of our internal servers.
I have coded a connection specific DNS sufix. I can verify that IPCONFIG shows the two work DNS servers. NSLOOKUP does see the work DNS server as the default. I do have the 'use remote gateway' option checked in my VPN connector.
Yet, when I connect to the VPN I lose all ability to do DNS lookups for everything execpt NSLOOKUP. (This is somewhat resonable since my ISP's DNS server will not respond to DNS requests that do not originate on their network. If I could connect to them, the work DNS servers would also supply addresses from the Internet.)......
I do not know which is my outgoing server for live mail,so I can not send anything.
View 8 Replies View Relatedi am having problems in resolving a standing issue: our building is split into two parts each with its own router. the routers given generic IP as follows
192.168.9.255 and 192.168.11.255
we have a NAS server running windows 2003 server hooked on to the router 192.168.11.255 - its IP is 192.168.11.21 ... all the systems hooked to the same router are able to 'see' the NAS server and transact with it. (vista, linux, os x - all of them)
however, on the other side, the windows vista systems connected to 192.168.9.255 do not see the NAS server. Linux systems on this subnet can again see as well as connect to it, so can os x systems. eventhough vista cannot see the server, ping works with the server fine from these vista systems too.
I need a program which can turn my computer into an FTP server. It should be freeware preferably and not with a lot of interfaces and icons there and then...
