Multiple Networks: Stop Sharing Internet
May 22, 2008
I have a small network of 3 pcs: pc1 (xp) -> lan (cable) -> pc2 (vista) -> wlan -> pc3 (vista) -> internet. I got stuck at pc1->pc2. It's really easy to setup in xp: my networkplace -> setup a home or small office network:
On pc1 choose "This Computer Connects To The Internet Through Another Computer On My Network Or Through A Residential Gateway "
on pc2 choose "This Computer Connects Directly To The Internet ", then choose the wireless card which connect pc2 and pc3.
I just installed vista yesterday, and it drives me crazy. I can't find "setup a home or small office network." I also tried "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection" on pc2, but vista combined all the networks, and stop sharing internet between pc2 and pc3.

My internet connection is thwarted when Vista detects Multiple Networks in the Network and Sharing Center. I want to select the "unidentified network" and delete it but there is no option to do this. The ISP is no help. Anyone run across this problem? ENVIRONMENT: Broadband connection direct from the modem. Not using wireless. Only one internet connection. Not on a network. Have not updated to SP1 yet.

I have a wired router connected to a combination wired/wireless switch (both are LinkSys and pretty old). The PC in question has a wired connection to the switch. In the Network and Sharing Center, Vista sees two Networks: Network (private) and Unidentified Network (public), but both have the same IP information. Both also say local and internet access, but I cannot connect to the Internet. Disabling one of the active connections (one of the fixes suggested by Windows) causes all network connections to be disabled. I have tried resetting the router and switch, renewing the DHCP lease and resetting the network adapter to no avail. The most frustrating aspect of this problem is that it is intermittent. Sometimes, without apparent reason, the computer will "just work." There is another Vista PC also with a wired connection to the switch that has no trouble connecting to the internet and correctly sees only one network.

I have vista home premium 32bit on my compaq presario desktop with 4gb ram. I installed a ati graphics card today with its own 1gb which should be more than enough ram for the kind of things I do since I am not really a serious gamer and am not into 1st person shooter type games. The problem is vista insists on using 1gb ram as shared graphics ram so is there anyway to stop this sharing of graphics ram?

Printer sharing stopped working. "Server" machine with the printer is Vista. It uses printer fine. Router is Linksys WRT150n. 2 laptops, and second PC all with XP. second pc is connected to router by cable, not wireless."Server Machine" sees all machines on the Network page. Workgroup name matches on all 4 machines. The 3 XP machines cannot find the printer. When I run "add a printer" all I get is "Micrsosoft Windows Network" on the browse for printer page. I used to be able to see all the pc's and the printer attached to them. No new firewalls on any machines, I have disabled network discovery and printer sharing, and then reenabled. I have created a new workgroup name in hopes of fixing problem. I have run the network wizards.

I Have An HP Dv5t Pavilion With An Intel Pentium Dual CPU T3200 @ 2.00GHz, My Wireless Internal Network Card Is A "Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN".I Have Been Using This Laptop For 2 Months With No Problems At All. And Just On Thursday My Norton 60 Trial Ran Out, So Of Course I Deleted It From My Control Panel. And After That, Is When I Started Getting This Problem. I Have Looked Around The Web And Tried A Dozen Different Solutions That Do Not Work For Me. And It Has Been Pissing Me Off So Much To the Point Where I'm About To Format The Hard Drive. I Do Not Wish To Take Such Drastic Measures.

I have two user accounts, one is an administrator. I don't want the standard account to be able to view the data in my account. I tried to "un-share folders but I keep getting this error message 'You could not stop sharing the selected folder.' Further info says that this folder is in a shared folder, huh? It shouldn't be.

I have recently installed Vista on my desktop PC which seems to be having Internet Connection problems. My Desktop PC has 2 Network Adaptors each connected to separate routers. I have one router (A) with IP 192.168.1.1 on Adaptor A and another router (B) with IP 192.168.2.1 on Adaptor B. The only router with Internet Access is router B. The problem I have is when I open internet explorer it seems to take a very long time to display the home page, and some times it times-out completely. If I open up a command prompt and type tracert www.google.com, the first line that comes up is 192.168.1.1 - This implies that it is trying to get to google via Router A which has no Internet access. I can only guess then it gives up after some time and tries the second Network Connection.
Is there any way I can set Vista so that it looks for Internet Access on Router B first, and not Router A? I've tried various things such as changing the Network Binding order Under Advanced in Network Connections but this does not help. This did not happen under XP - XP seemed to know which Adaptor had Internet Access without a delay/timeout.

I have searched numerous articles on setting up a home network with Vista as the primary computer (2 NIC's 1 goes to internet, other goes to switch).
At first, the XP system kept retaining the old ip address from when it was connected directly to the internet. File sharing would work though (or at least the vista system would see files on the XP system). I found an article that said I had to install the Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder, so I downloaded that patch from Microsoft and installed it. Now, the Vista system can see the XP system and shows it in the network map. I checked the XP system, it is obtaining the ip address 192.168.0.121. The XP system still isn't getting to the internet.

I want to share the internet connection of my Desktop onto my Laptop. The Desktop is running XP and connects to the internet using the GPRS connection of my cellphone via Bluetooth. The Desktop is connected by cable to a router and from router over wifi to my laptop which has Windows Vista Ultimate.
Both the pc's can ping each other and I've successfully configured them for sharing files and folders. But even though I've shared the gprs dialup connection on XP and selected the corresponding local area connection, Vista is not letting me access to the Internet! I have even disabled the firewall but it's still showing Local only.

when I enter network properties for my primary connection and I try to enable network connection sharing a window pops up and tells me this: An error occured while Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled. The dependency service or group failed to start. I've tried enabling some services I found in another guide but that didn't help me. I've tried updating my windows, network drivers, starting every network related service inservices.msc, it seems like I've done everything.

I can't make it work : how do you connect a XP (with Internet connection) to a Vista (so that it has Internet connection) via a Ethernet cable ? It worked well when I had two XP computers : I just ran Magix Wizard (or so) and HOP! It was done. With Vista, you don't have any Wizard! The only magic trick is how your computer makes you then. I've been searching the Internet, forums and all for days and I still doesn't have a clue!

I'm running a visa 32 bit laptop and a Windows xp PC on a network and im trying to send files from the laptop to the PC. My laptop is unable to connect to the internet and I think the problem is that I have a virus so I'm just going to reformat the whole thing. I want to send my laptop files to my PC, but when I go to the network and sharing center on the laptop to turn public folder sharing on, the whole window just freezes when I apply the setting. The workgroup names are the same. Is there anything else that I have to do to be able to share the files?

My internet explorer will randomly stop working sometimes. I'm able to use it for an hour or so and then it stops working. I still remain connected to the internet because AIM still works. I have to restart my computer for the browser to start working again.

Network 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."

This is not causing any problems, I just don't know why. I have an i7 on a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5, gigabit Linksys switch, Norton 2008 firewall, Vista 32bit, and 3 PCs (Vista, Vista, XP) in a LAN. Vista doesn't seem to think a LAN/switch is a real network? I can see all of the other network PCs, connect to the internet (DSL) thru a switch connected Linksys wireless router, share files, and printers; but it's bugging me.

I'm wondering if it's possible to set up my computer (it has two ethernet connectors) to connect to 2 different networks at the same time? (this would be both "wired" networks, but if wireless is easier I have wireless USB adapters I can utilize as both of my network routers are wired & wireless).

I have yet another problem with my lame vista laptop and this time, it's the net yet again! I can't seem to find any wireless networks nor can I find mine. I've tried to do some of the things people suggested with previous posts like mine but, I it doesn't seem to work. Wireless Network Connection is disabled, I try to enable it and it doesn't work p.s. I can access the internet when I connect the DSL modem directly to my laptop.

i can't find any wireless networks. I didn't have the problem before, my computer can still connect to two wireless networks that I used in the past. Now I needed to connect to a new one. As I said I can't find any wireless networks not even those networks I can connect to.

I've encountered an issue with my networking where my 1Gbps LAN has it's speed capped at 54Mbps. I'm using a laptop with a 1Gbps NIC and 54Mbps WIFI adapter. The WIFI is connected to an wireless access point (network 1). The 1Gbps NIC is connected to another network. Both networks are private. The networks are not connected. While transferring between my laptop and a Windows XP box that is only on the 1Gbps network I've noticed the speed stays at a constant 54Mbps during the entire transfer. I'm wondering why the speed of an 1Gbps network is being capped at 54Mbps.

I am having a problem with the finding wireless networks, The problem started that sometimes I was not able to view wireless networks even though the wireless is turned on and sometimes I am not able to see certain networks, however I was able to view the networks sometimes on restarting or at a later time. The problem is that now while I am connected to a wireless network, sometimes it just disconnects and "Connect to a network " views that it can't find any wireless networks (even though my colleague next to me can see them and is still connected) and if i try to troubleshoot it tells me that my wireless device is switched off even though it is still on and if i actually switch it off it is not recognized to be switched off (the color indicator for off and on doesn't change ) The only way that I can connect again is to restart (and sometimes I have to do it more than once before I can see wireless networks again) I am not sure if it is a Vista problem or a hardware problem ...I have a HP Pavilion dv6000

When I try to connect to my wireless broadband on my laptop, its showing my network with full signal, but when I click connect, it's telling me I can't? I know my wireless is working because I'm on my desktop PC right now which uses the same connection. Anybody know where it's all gone wrong? I only know the basics when it comes to computers so sorry if this is all a bit vague...

I have two PCI wireless network cards from two different brands, Netgear WG311V2 and D-Link DWl-G520+. My Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP2 system has 4GB of RAM. Neither will detect wireless networks when the system RAM is greater than 2GB. If I pull out one 2GB stick, it works fine. Put it back in, failure to see networks. I tried the Netgear on a Windows 2003 Standard 32 bit SP2 with 4GB of RAM and it worked ok.

Just got a new Dell Desktop with wireless card pre-installed. I have an existing wireless router that all three of my other machines (XP) can see and connect to just fine. No matter what I seem to do, the Vista machine tells me there are no networks available. I've tried re-booting, re-freshing the Network list, waiting and re-freshing, turning off various automatic features, etc. Nothing seems to work and I need to connect to the Internet to update the PC with the numerous security patches Vista needs when first
starting up.

We must all realize that Microsoft has it's own direction. We are pretty much not in control of our own computers, nor will we be ever. The issues I have seen, and what you all are seeing is the results of many things. All of which I will not be able to address.
1st You really need to have only Vista machines.. cures all problems..
2nd You really need to have a Server to perform DNS and DHCP, even all of us home users. Gee I wonder why there is now even a Home version of Server.
3rd We really all need to be MSCE's if we are going to have more than one computer on the network.
4th We need artificial inteligence to figure out what the wizards are doing.
If all else fails refer back to 1,2,3,4
