Printer Server Connect Off
May 28, 2009
So I can connect to the network with no issues....but the rest of my computers are all either XP or Vista 32. My problem comes into my server...that is XP. I have my files and printer on this server, and I connect off of it thru the wireless network. I cant see my printer or the files on the server. The only other computer that shows in my network, besides the lynksys, is the other Vista computer in the office.....which currently does show the server and printer.
My old laptop crashed and I just got a new Toshiba, so this is how/why I have an issue. I checked and its setup as private, Im thinking the 64bit is my problem can anyone hopefully NOT confirm this. Im hoping there is something else that I am missing and its not the 64 bit...I hope to not be here too long as that means issues, but I will be watching the forums from a distance to chime in if I can add anything

I just purchased two new identical machines. I have a home LAN running W2k Server. (downgraded from a domain to a workgroup). One machine sees the server no problem. I can connect to drives and use the printer. One machine refuses to see the server. When I go Run and type in \ipaddress, it shows up. When I try to browse for it, it never shows up. Both machines on same LAN, same WORKGROUP. I've clicked everything I can find but the one machine just won't find the server. I'm baffled.

I cannot set the default printer in Vista Business with SP1. I am connected to a domain trying to set a network printer hosted from a server as the default printer. I have seen a dozen or more questions similiar to this in this group as well as on other forums and found no answer. I see a MS-MVP come on and tell people to remove local printers such as the XPS and adobe printers. This is a ridiculous solution. Sure it may allow you to connect to a network printer but you have removed printers that you are going to need to use again. Unacceptable.
So far the only other solution that does not include deleting all the local printers off of the machine is to make sure you have write permissions to the default printer registry key. I have checked this and I do have write permissions(Full Control). SO WHAT NEXT? IS MICROSOFT EVER GOING TO COME OUT WITH ANOTHER FIX FOR THIS?

My set-up is very simple yet I cannot connect to a device. I have a Router which has three connections via ethernet.
1. Vista Machine
2. XP Machine
3. Music Server (systemline)
The problem I have is that my Vista machine will not connect to the music server - I cannot see the shared folders. My XP machine connects to it no problem, e.g. if I enter the location (

I've got a problem connecting to Hewlett Packer LaserJet 1020. Vista x64 connects fine and the printer works but Vista 32bit refuses. I'm constantly getting this error message: "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000003eb). I installed Vista 32bit drivers from HP's website. Strange that Vista x64 works and 32bit doesn't.

I have a Lexmark Z515 printer connect to a Desktop via a USB cable. I am looking to share the printer connection so that my laptop (Vista Home Premium 32-bit) can print from it. Whenever I try to add the shared printer via the add network printer option on my laptop I get the error message: "Windows cannot connect to the printer Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000000d)".

I'm trying to access 64bit printer share that have been installed on a Windows 2003 x86 server to my Vista Ultimate x64, but I continually get "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed. (error 0x0000007e)". I have added the x64 drivers by doing the following: From my Vista x64 machine, surf to the \serverprinters. Right clicked and went to server properties. On the driver tab, added a new x64 driver. Pointed to the fresh downloaded driver for HP LaserJet 4250 made May 6th. After doing this, I still get that error message above when I try to add the printer share to my Vista machine.

Background before the question: I work for an architecture firm and are the test subjects to upgrading because we are the graphics department with all the programs that hog memory and have all the 64-bit programs... Adobe Photoshop CS4, 3DS Max 2009 and Revit 2008. I recently upgraded my machine to Vista Business x64 and all my co-workers except for one other (who also upgraded with me to Vista Business x64) are all on XP x86 machines.
we have problems with the network printers that are shared on a server machine. Issue is, everyone can print all day til we print out something. (Yes, are machine recognize the printers... it is not a I can't see them or are they shared on the server). After it stops everyone, we can keep on printing ourselves. The only way to fix it is to reset the server machine to recognize the printer again.Is there any local fix from the take over from happening... or is it on the server machine? Actually, what is the fix? Currently are work around is to jump on a computer that hasn't been used by anyone for years (XP x86) to print.

I do an add printer on my wireless connected laptop. It finds the printer on my XP desktop but when I click OK it say it cannot connect, access denied. This works fine on my other desktop and I am stumped. The printer works fine directly connected to this VISTA laptop as does file sharing.

I have an XP Pro PC on my home network and am trying to connect to a Lexmark X215 printer that is shared off of the XP Pro machine. I am connecting with a new Vista Home Premium Dell XPS M1530 laptop. The rest of the network is working fine - shared files, folders, access to the Internet, etc.
The message I get when I try to connect is that Windows cannot connect to the printer.

They were sharing a printer but now Vista is not seeing the printer. When I try to "add a printer" on Vista I get the following message: windows cannot connect to the printer. Make sure that you typed the name correctly and that the printer is connected to the network.

I 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.

i 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 worked with my internet provider and they were unable to help me. Windows mail is not pinging the POP server. I can get my mail via the providers web-mail, but I can't download any into my mailbox. The SEND/RECEIVE mail button produces this error message, and the green line indicating the messages it is trying to download just stalls. If I click wait...again nothing and if I click STOP the error message I get indicates it is timing out.

Vista Home Premium SP1 - trying to connect Brother HL-2142 laser printer as a _local_ printer with USB cable connection. I have installed exactly as instructed in printer manual. When I go to print, file appears in print queue until it finally errors. When I look in Device Manager->Universal Serial Bus Controllers->USB Root Hub properties->Power tab, the description shows "Unknown USB Device". Not sure if this is what the problem is. If it is, why would the USB Device be unknown? Also in Device Manager->Other devices, I see the HL-2140 printer with a yellow key hole. Printer manual says using drivers and so on for HL-2140 is fine for the HL-2142. When I try to add the printer manually, I can't work out which is the USB port. Doesn't seem to be one. I've attached document with screen shot of existing ports to choose from....

I was able to load Vista SP1 RC Refresh 2 without a problem. I was in hopes that it would help me with the issue of trying to print to a networked printer on a shared XP machine from my Vista laptop where I have the SP1 loaded but that was a crock. Still getting error 0x0000000d when trying to connect to the printer after install. I am about to go back to XP and dump this OS. I just can't see how MS can justify not fixing these BIG problems that have been around for a majority of the users since the OS was released. Anybody got a pocket sized printer they will sell me cheap?

I want to connect to a Team Foundation Server through HTTP. I am not in the network (local nor VPN) with the server I want to connect to. I use the public IP of the server. From my laptop with XP it can be reached easily - for example when I enter the http://serverIP:9200 in the Internet Explorer, the browser asks me for a password and if I fail to log it shows that the Access is denied. 9200 is a port number.
When I connect a laptop with Vista and do the same, a browser just informs that it cannot display the page. I can't also connect to the server via telnet. The behaviour is the same also when I turn off the firewall on Vista (on XP I do not need to turn off the firewall). What then can be blocking this connection?? Are there any security settings that I should check? There is no problem to connect to the Web server from the same network as this TFS.

Hope this is the right newsgroup.
Have a weird situation. On my first Vista pc i cannot authenticate to a 2003
server. YET i can map drives, nslookup is fine, i can ping everything, and
XP pcs log on with no problem (and have been for years).
The actual error is that the DNS of the DC in the domain has failed. I don't
think this has anything to do with DNS based on what i said. Regardless, i
have deleted, reinstalled,,

My Linksys WRT54G has been giving me problems for the past 6 months and after some research, I see it happens alot on the Vista OS. I contacted ATT but they told me since it wasn't their router they would have to charge me $30 for 20 minutes. I can connect to the network, but it is "Local only" not "Local and Internet." The connection is excellent and it says I'm connected, but the internet still does not work. The wired connection works fine which is how I'm able to connect right now. This is my ipconfig when I'm trying to connect with wireless.

When I attempt to make an RDP connection from Vista to a remote machine running Windows Server 2003, it seems to partially connect. It displays a 'Log On To Windows Server' dialog window, but it is blank. the fields where I would normally type in my credentials are not displayed. After about a minute, I get the following message:, "Your Remote session has ended. The connection to the remote computer was lost, possiblly due to connectivity problems."
However, on other PCs running Windows XP, I can consistently RDP connect to this same remote machine which is running Windows Server 2003. Why is Windows Vista unable to make a RDP connection to Windows Server 2003? Is there something that needs to be configured differently on the Windows Server 2003 machine to allow Vista RDP connections? Also I can successfully make RDP connections from Vista to machines running Windows XP. It appears the problem is just when making a RDP connection from Vista to Server 2003

How do I set up Newsgator to get my Microsoft newsgroup stuff in Outlook 2007? I already have NewsGator plugin installed. It asks me for a server, username, and password. Would my username be my email address? What format do I use for the NNTP server? I tried microsoft.public.windows.vista.general, but it said it could not connect to the news server. "...I fail to understand why they feel the need to convince people who are happy with Vista that they are wrong. That is aside from the self-esteem issues they must have ;-)"

I am considering purchasing a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home on it. I work at an office 2 days per week and will need to connect to their server. It is my understanding that Vista Home will not be able to connect to their server. SO....I would need to install my XP Pro onto the new computer. How hard is it to do this and is it not recommended? (I'd like to keep Vista on the laptop as well, possibly as a dual boot? Unless that would just cause more issues.)
