Sharing Printer On XP Desktop
Jun 25, 2008I have a desktop with XP Pro with a HP LaserJet 1018 connected to it and am trying to share it with a Vista laptop setup on a home network. I can print but do not have the functionality that comes with the driver when connected via USB cable. Specifically, I am trying to use the print on both side from the laptop. It prints one side, but will not prompt me to change paper orientation or to hit continue to print like when I print locally. I reinstalled the drivers from the HP website but no luck. Any idea how I can get the printer to work wirelessly the same as when hooked up directly?
View 7 Replies View RelatedSharing Folders The Desktop
Apr 28, 2009I am trying to create remote file sharing among my colleagues. We want to use a desktop (with no wireless connection) with business vista as the server and create all the sharing folders in the desktop. After that, we connect to the desktop through a common workgroup. We have done all the setup but we simply can't remotely connect to the desktop at all. The error msg is 0x80070035 and network diagnostics pinged the remote host but did not receive a response. Cannot communicatge with the "Desk Computer Name - ip address" Can someone teach me and show me what is the problem? Don't refer me to another websites because I have already checked and I still don't understand.

Mar 23, 2008I cannot ping my xp desktop from my Vista laptop when doing basic connectivity checks. I have shared out my printer attached to the Xp desktop running home edition and want to print on the Vista laptop running home premium. They are both on the same workgroup. I can even ping the Vista Laptop from XP pc, but cannot ping the XP pc from the Vista laptop. I even disabled all windows firewall, Norton on the xp pc as well as mcafee on the vista to no avail. I think that by the laptop not seeing the Xp pc, it is impossible to see the shared printer from XP on the Vista laptop. How can I get Vista to make the connection and see the XP pc?
View 7 Replies View RelatedSharing Desktop, Shows Up As Users
Mar 23, 2008I have a mixed network of Vista (2) and XP (3). I was using Network magic reviously but had problems with printing. So I nixed the network magic. the one thing i did like was the ability to get to each of the computers Desktops directly. I can do that on the Windows XP computers, but when I share the desktop on the vista computers it shows up as users. You then have to navigate to the desktop, which is ok but not directly to the desktop. Is there away to make it go directly to desktop?
View 8 Replies View RelatedNetwork Show The Desktop "reset" All Sharing
Jun 5, 2009One of my friends has a media sharing problem with an XP Home (sp3) MCE 2005, WMP 11 desktop. I've tried to help him by setting up consistent user accounts (passworded) but it doesn't seem to solve the problem. In a nutshell, his network shows his desktop as both a computer and a media device and it seems he has more shares than I think is wise -- he has disks, folders, files, all marked as share with full control permissions to everyone. He also has tried to solve his problem by consolidating media, but put it all in the "all users" tree instead of with a single user. In short, I'm not sure what he has shared and where he has it.
As a result his music and pix seem to share on the network ok, but he gets duplicate entries in wmp and conflicts when trying to stream video on his network. Maybe this last problem is because of multiple shared videos with the same name maybe in multiple locations (or as multiple users)? So here are my two questions. First, is there an easy way I can help him turn off all sharing and start over? And second, does it matter that his desktop shows up as a media device AND as a computer? If so, how can he fix that problem?
Desktop Printer Sharing: Won't Find Printer
Jun 10, 2008I have a Vista Home Premium Laptop, an XP Home laptop and an XP Home desktop (and an XBox 360) connected to my Linksys wireless G router and an XP Home desktop connected via CAT5 to the same router. All connect to the internet fine. The XP laptop finds and uses the printer on the desktop fine. I had setup a share of the Canon I560 printer, connected to my XP desktop, on the Vista laptop and it worked fine. I don't believe I made any changes, but now it won't find the printer and I can't seem to install a new copy.
The Vista machine will not detect the printer and won't even find the XP desktop or laptop on the network. The XP machines find each other fine. All machines get their IP address from the router via DHCP. All are in the same workgroup, or it seems so. Strangely the Vista machine shows WORKGROUP and the XP machines show Workgroup, even if I type the name in caps, XP still shows Workgroup and Vista WORKGROUP.............
File Sharing Is 'on', Password Protected Sharing Is 'off'
Mar 23, 2008Network of two computers, a desktop running vista home premium and a laptop running vista basic. I am the only user on each of the computers, my user account name is the same on both computers and I don't need a password to log on. File sharing is 'on', password protected sharing is 'off', and I have shared the 'documents' folder on both machines
When I view my network I see both computers "PAUL-PC" and PAUL-LAPTOP", when I select the one I'm not working on I see "Users", "Documents" and "Printers". When I select "Documents" I see "\PAUL-LAPTOPDocuments is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource....... etc."

How To Make Desktop Icons Go Away From Desktop Toolbar In?
Jan 30, 2010I don't find the desktop to be of much use, too many icons take away from the image I choose to display, but I do use the desktop toolbar from the taskbar quite a bit. There are icons that I cannot remove from the desktop toolbar such as the Network & Control Panel icons they won’t leave the toolbar, and I can’t seem to kill the IE icon off for good, either.

Feb 12, 2009I was working on the computer today using several programs and when I went back to the desktop, I noticed a sort of ghosted out icon that looks like a gear on top of a sheet of lined paper and the words "desktop.ini" under it. I have no idea how it got there. Is it safe for me to delete it or is there a better way of getting rid of it.

Nov 18, 2009I want to be able to move a file across my home network (both PCs are Vista). I have shared the destination folder with "Everyone" to be a co-owner. I do not have passwords set up. I can "see" the destination folder across the network and can open documents in it, but it will not allow me to move files into it. The weird thing is, I encountered this for the first time a couple of days ago. The folder was shared, but I could not move a file into it.
That was when I looked into sharing and realized that I had to change permission lever to "co-owner" in order to create documents. Once I updated the sharing, I was allowed to move the file. However, today I am not allowed to perform the very same action; I get "Destination Folder Access Denied, you need permission to perform this action".
File Sharing
Aug 25, 2009I have a new computer, Vista that I can't get file sharing to work. I have it turned on and can see the computer but when I try to access it I get the message I don't have permission etc. I did get print sharing working. The computer I'm using that I'm trying to access from also has Vista. It's the one with the router. I have a notebook on the network, xp, which I can access just fine. The "new" computer I can see the other two computers and access their files. I have everything checked correctly in the network card. I've turned off my firewall and disabled Kaspersky.
View 9 Replies View RelatedPrinter Sharing From X64 To XP X86
Jan 1, 2008I have a PC running Vista Ultimate x64. Attached to that PC (via USB) is a HP Photosmart C3180. My wife's laptop is running XP Professional x86. I am trying to allow her to print to the printer attached to my Vista x64 PC. I install the printer properly and confirm it working on my Vista x64 PC. I then share it out under the name HPC3180. I disable password protected sharing and under the security settings of the printer I give "Anonymous Logon" permission to access the printer.
I know generally I would have to specify the x86 version of the driver under the "Additional Drivers" area in the properties of the printer; but in this case I do not know where to get the .INF files. I can download the drivers for the 32 bit version of XP from HP's site, but they aren't self extracting EXE files so I cannot get the INF file out of them to use. I even tried setting it up (on XP x86 laptop) as a "Local Printer" with a "Local Port" that points the printer. I then tried to use a variety of older and generic drivers. At worst it refused to print entirely. At best I got some sort of seemingly random output from the printer.

Odd File Sharing
Apr 25, 2008i have a couple of problems now, both very annoying:
1) my pc does not connect to the internet when i wake it from sleep. It requires me to shut down and turn off power completely, then reboot. My previous install of windows was fine
2) my pc is set up (as far as i can tell) to file share. to see other computers AND share. I cannot see other XP machines on my network, they cannot see me. Before i reinstalled it was also fine. I have tried so many different things now to rectify the problem but nothing seems to solve it
I'm a little annoyed at microsoft to be honest. I've put up with so many problems and worked aorund them, but sleeping and file sharing - two features which they used to sell vista have given me such problems recently.

Mar 23, 2008We have a combination wired/wireless home network in my house, consisting of 4 computers, all connected through the router which connects directly to the internet. The configuration is this:
Desktop1 - connected directly to router, running XP
Desktop2- connected directly to router, running Vista
Laptop1 - connected wirelessly, running Vista
Laptop2- connected wirelessly, running XP.
As of right now, Desktop 2, Laptop1 and Laptop 2 have no problems sharing files with each other. Desktop 1 can view all the other computers shared files, but Laptop1 cannot
view any of Desktop 1's shared files. I consistently get a "denied access" message.
I don't know if the other computers can access Desktop1 (they aren't my computers). It's most important to get Laptop1 and Desktop1 to share files. All computers have shared files/printers on, with password protection off, and I've gone through the network wizards over and over.
I should mention that Laptop1 can *view* Desktop1 on the network. It sees it, it knows it's there...but the Desktop will not allow access, even though the files on the Desktop are set to be shared. I also tried turning the firewall off, and it still would not grant access. None of the other computers are having issues...there's go to be a solution to this, I'm just not finding it.
Sharing Printer
Jul 1, 2008I have 3 computers sharing a printer through a Netgear print server - PS121. The three print fine - they run Windows XP. Now I want to add a Windows Vista computer. However, the Vista computer does not "see" the print server. Do I need to attach the print server directly to the Vista machine for installation and then go back to the traditional setup w/ the Print Server as a network device?

May 14, 2008I have very similar question to one below, but the other way around. I have a network of four computers: Prospero (Windows Me), Server (Windows XP pro), Miranda (laptop/wireless, Windows XP pro), and Sound (Vista Home Premium). Sound only sees the XP computers in the mapping facility, but does not see their shared volumes, so I can't use them. It also doesn't see the shared volume of an Iomega network drive.
All the others can see the shared folders on the Sound, although Sound won't accept the password entered from Prospero (Windows ME) so it can't open the shared volumes. I've tried with and without password access to the Vista machine. I want to upgrade Server to Vista Business, but I'm not going to do this until I can fix this issue. (I've gone through all the troubleshooting steps.) As an aside, if I try to mount the network drive using the Iomega utility, it says Network Service not started, but it doesn't tell me which service. The event list doesn't really help either.
Can't Set Up Calendar For Sharing
Aug 13, 2009I have windows vista home premium and two users accounts on the pc. Is there a way for my calendar to be viewed and /or updated by the other user on this pc? I have outlook 2003 and I know that I can't set up my calendar for sharing to someone on another pc without going thru an exchange server. However, I was hoping that because my wife and I were both users on the same pc that she would be able to have access to my calendar when she was signed on in her own account. Also, because I can't share my calendar without going thru an exchange server I was hoping to be able to export my master calendar that I have on an older XP desktop and bring in onto my vista laptop. For some reason even though the export files seems to have all my entries, it only puts some of the items into my calendar on the vista laptop.

May 7, 2010I realize this is a Vista group, but I can't seem to locate any MS Win7 group with my NG reader (TB). On my Win7 machine (Win7 Home Premium)I have marked several folders as being shared, and they remain shared at all times, but there is absolutely NO indication of the folder being shared when viewed in Explorer on that computer. In previous versions of the OS there has been the 'palm-up hand" and the little 'whatever it is' in Vista but nothing in Win7. Is it something I have to turn on somewhere, or is it just that Win7 provides no visual indication of sharing on a folder?
