2 Computers On Same Network - 1 With Very Slow Internet
Feb 2, 2011
I am connected to the internet fine and I have another second computer wired up to the router and I can access the files over the network fine, its been working fine now for about 8 months but just recently on the second computer I have noticed that the internet speeds have dropped right of to useless and it even constantly disconnects too. The main computer does not disconnect and it does not slow down, working perfect in fact.
The only updates/software that has been installed on the second computer are windows updates. I've even purchased a new router/modem thinking that was the issue but alas it is not. My wife also has a wireless laptop and that works just perfect too, so the problem seems to lie with the second computer and I don't know what to do to resolve it. It will connect to the internet but its dam slow and majority of the time is useless, its a wired connection via ethernet straight into the router.
The wireless is one I share with my roommates and is fast. The wired NIC connects to a router which has slower internet. The reason I connect to the wired router is so my PC can talk to a linux machine, which I use for some data downloading/analysis.I want to disable internet from the wired connection but keep the ability to talk to other machines on the wired network. I just changed the IPv4 settings and deleted the DNS server information. Is this the best way to do so? I want the wireless to provide internet.
I bought a week ago a Dell pc with Win 7 Pro 64 bit. When I connected it to the network (40-50 pc & laptops), I realized that when I am trying to copy from the network and download from internet, the speed is really low. I changed Speed&duplex from auto to 100 mb full, I disabled Remote differential compression, I updated all the drivers, etc but still the same problem. Does anybody has any idea what do I have to do to make this work properly?
Unable to see home network computers in Windows Explorer Network screen.
I have a home network with 2 laptops and 1 desktop. The desktop I use as a "file server" in that all work done on the laptops is stored to the desktop. The desktop computer name is HAL. One laptop is fine and sees the network. The other just stopped seeing it; rebooted the laptop; rebooted HAL; did a number of refreshes without any luck. I opened EXCEL and found a worksheet that was listed that I knew was saved on HAL. Was able to open the file and when I tried the SAVE AS I could navigate through all of HAL just as normal. Went to Windows Explorer and still no HAL listed as a COMPUTER on the NETWORK. I have a internet connection so I know I am making it to the router at least. And when I check NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER it shows an active home network. The laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 Build 7601.
I am running a modem and wireless router which is working fine. I have my home computer up and running (Windows 7)- no problems at all. However, my work laptop (windows 7 professional) will connect to my wireless network but will not 'access' the internet. I have set up a connection from scratch; changed the network settings; restarted (everything) plugged in wth Ethernet cord; run a router check... and honestly I am way out of my league in figuring this one out.I tried several of the solutions for forum threads around the problem of 'connected to internet but no internet access', but part of my confusion is that one computer works fine, but the other simply won't allow access. When I use a when I use an open network it won't allow me on at all. But when I set up my private network it will connect and show internet access for 10 SECONDS at a time and then No access... like a constant flicker...
Well yesterday after playing online games and surfing the web, so then i decided to go to bed and my laptop took longer than before so i then clicked cancel and tried refreshing i then shut down my laptop and it seems fine. But now today i turned on my laptop and it seems fine until i login when i log in it shows a black screen with only my cursor in the middle but i can still move my mouse around (this never happened before) then it goes to the desktop screen and my icons and gadgets were starting really slow but they came up in the end but then i look at my wifi conection it says No internet accsess but i looked over to my internet modem the internet was on. So then i opened the other laptop and i can use the internet, so i tried restarting my laptop and it did the black screen thing again and still no internet accsess. So I then switch to Safe mode networking and i can connect to the internet just fine i then went and looked at the Device manager and clicked on System devices and theres a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark on Consumer IR Devices.
I will try to be as descriptive as possible. I currently have GoWifi to access my internet (my room mate has it to)But for the past 4 days my computer has been running horribly slow. I can't use a enthernet cable becuase "Gowifi" is only wireless. I use google chrome most of the time, but the internet is slow on chrome and explorer. I have tried the "ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew" method. I have also tried to Reset WINSOCK, Reset IPv4, Reset IPv6, and then restarted my computer but still did not do the trick. I have tried various things from forums on other sites and this site but it still is not doing the trick.Is there Anything you guys could tell me that could fix my problem? And i do have a windows 7 computer.
I am on a mission to find out how to properly connect 2 computers to the same Internet "pipeline" (cable Internet - provider: Videotron - Canada) in an independent fashion so that when I shut down one computer, I do not lose the phone lines and my wife's computer still gets an Internet connection to the outside world.We are using Windows 7, the computers are brand new and the Internet connection is strong, but the moment I shut down my computer, within 5 minutes my wife computer will lose her Internet line and the phones will die.I am at a loss as to how to solve this since I have tried all combinations, permutations, you name it and nothing seems to work.Could it be my Internet provider's fault or am I doing something wrong when I connect everything to the router.
how to connect 2 compute .1 is laptop and the other is desktop using bsnl broad band modem type 1 which have 4 port plus 1 usb port . so that both the computer has networking and internet connection.
I recently came to own a new computer, I've been using it for a while and set up Remote Desktop connection on it with Now i'm going back to my old machine to try and set it up as a media server. Its not going to have a monitor connected to it so i need some way to connect and see whats going on.Both machines are Win 7, although my old one is running 32bit.I have a linksys e1200 router and both are wired connections.it to the network so i can remote into it. I've set it up as best i could but it still wont allow me to connect
I just need to rename the laptop!Woo, that's all fine and dandy, except when I renamed my laptop from Ken-PC (the name shared by both laptop and desktop) to KenLaptop and rebooted, there was a whole slew of problems caused by the namechange. Very long story somewhat shortened, it looked like I was booting up win 95.Multiple error screens, very retro GUI, all fixed by renaming my laptop Ken-PC again.I'm just trying to be able to share my files between the two computers!
Suddenly, Windows 7 will only see one of the 4 other machines on my network. It was working fine a few days ago. I have tried uninstalling Comodo and everything else I can think of - same result. All other machines show all 4 other machines on the network.
My Windows 7 machine only shows one other machine, which is a Vista notebook. The other 3 machines that don't show up are another Vista notebook and 2 XP desktops. All machines can see the Windows 7 box and even print through it. What is going on? Why would one machine show up but not others??
I know that the Windows 7 Homegroups only work with other PC with homegroup.But I'm trying to find my other computers running XP with my windows 7 laptop.
I have two computers Computer A runs Windows 7 and Computer B runs Vista.I have gone through the set up of trying to link them. I have no trouble when I'm on Computer B seeing A.Problem lies in Computer A seeing B...When I'm on Computer A it does see the folders that I've set up on B but when I try to access them I get the message " YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO ACCESS FILE //RALPH-PC// CONTACT YOUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR TO REQUEST ACCESS" Now does this mean I have to do something on my B Computer(Vista) or on the A Computer(window 7)
I have used the cmd command "net view" to attempt to list all computers in the network.However, net view appears to list only the computers that lie in the current domain.What command could I use to list all the computers that appear on the network, in any domain?I was even thinking of running "dir" on something like My Network Places or something like that but I don't really know how to do that.Is there a command I can use to list all computers and not just current domain?
i have windows 7 on both machines, where i am so far away from my router i have an alfa wirless adapter hooked in to it and i bridged the conections with my lan and hooked up a new router, everything works fine like the internet but when i try and view files on the network i cant see the computers hooked on the new network and they cant see me eather.
So, I know this topic has been covered many many times, but this is slightly different.
I had all the computers on the network, a mix of XP SP3, vista and 7 pro of the 32 and b4bit flavors networked and working fine. All of a sudden, i can no longer see the xp computers from the Windows 7, and vice versa. So i thought maybe there was an update that changed the node type (it's happened before on a Windows 7 home comp in the network). All the nodes are hybrid, all still have file sharing and network discovery enabled and my LAN manager is still set to send lm&ntlm.
What's strange is that I can type in the computer name into the address bar and access it fine. But they won't show up on the network map. So, while for a techies like us, who runs IT knows how the users like to have everything the way it was...how to get all the computers back on the network map.
I have 2 computers, 1 a old desktop running on-board lan using a wired connection to my router. my laptop using wireless connection to my router. Router is a linksys wrt110. Ive had the problem for years and it wasn't much of a issue. The desktop orginally ran Vista x64 and my other computer ran XP so i just figured it was a problem between the two OS, But now both systems run 7 and now i still have the same problem.
The problem is initally this: My desktop can access my laptop but my laptop cannot access my desktop. Ive triple checked all network setting,made sure all sharing options are checked, made sure im in the same workgroup. But when I try to access my desktop via my laptop i get "Windows cannot access \0320-pc" "You do not have permission to access \0320-PC. Contact my network administrator."
Ok so there are 3 laptops, 1 desktop, 1 tablet, and one Cellphone connected to our home internet at any given time. However there has recently been a network error on all of them. The phone cannot connect to the iTunes app store and connecting to any page on the internet results in webpage not found error or dns error. same error on the computers. Have Scanned with anti virus malwayre bytes and anti spyware nothing comes up
I could 'see' my shared XP machine and my MacBook from my Windows 7 computer over my wireless network last night be cannot see them now. I can 'see' the Windows 7 from the XP machine on Workgroup computers but I cannot 'see' any computers from my Windows 7 network now.
I have seen another post like this but the solution there was to buy another wireless router but I just bought a new Netgear 11n router and it is working fine for Internet access.
We use a HP932c printer as our network printer but no other computers on our network can see it. Everything is set for sharing on Windows 7 and on the other computers which are running XP and Vista. Anyone have a clue why I cannot get the other computers to see the network printer. Also Windows 7's network map doesn't see any of the other computers on our network. When our dual boot computer(Vista/Windows 7) is in Vista mode all is fine but when I boot into Windows 7 it doen't see the other computers and visa versa..
I was just wondering; if i get a laptop that uses the same network as my pc , would they be in sync.
For example lets say at work i created files, edited some , created new images ext. when i go to home the new stuff on the laptop will be on pc automatically?
My problem is windows 7 hangs and freeze when access 2003 server Enterprise edition. This is not a small network, one of the biggest network.i have doubt on individual users on domain. before 2 months we had department wise users mean, for example Accounts@domainname.local. But after we created the individual users like john@domainname.local to all users. this is i believe the cause of problem. When we acess the server via the software it freezed for 5 seconds and then repeat to normal state. And after some time it hangs for 2 minutes.
i have two computers, computer A running windows 7 pro and computer B running windows 7 ultimate,both computers are hooked to a switch.The network printers are also connected to the switch..internet cable plugged on the switch.i have assigned the computers and printers with static IP addresses but now that i got internet i don't know what step to take to maintain my Homegroup and be able to share files and connect the two computers to the internet,the last time i tried using the public file sharing i got access denied while opening shared folders and unidentified network

I have a home network that has been set up on a modem with internal router for ethernet ports and wifi. When computers connected to the modem via ethernet cables, they can easily discover each other through the 'network' icon. But when I connect my laptop to the network's wifi, only the desktop computer can see the laptop in 'network' and not the other way. The laptop can't see any computers. When I tried to connect/open the laptop through the computer, error code 0x80070035 network path not found came up.I tried pinging the computers (both with ip address and name), and heres what happened:-when I ping desktop to laptop, it didn't work-when I ping laptop to desktop, there was response. Then the desktop showed up on the laptop's 'network', and I can view/transfer shared files. desktop can also connect/open the laptop's shared files. Pinging from desktop to laptop also works.I've checked things like firewall, make computer discoverable in network, services. They all make no difference to the situation. Where unless if I ping the desktop from my laptop, the desktop won't show up and file sharing won't work.
I am trying to allow only certain computers on my HomeNetwork to access a network drive. My router is a BT HomeHub 3 and thecomputers are all connected by ethernet cables, the computer I don't want tohave access is wireless. The network drive is connected to the network using aUSB on the HomeHub. I can access the network drive OK on all the computers, butI don't want the wireless computer to have access. I have tried and tried towork it out, nut the more I look the more confused I get. I'm sure there mustbe an easy way to this problem. Any help will stop me having sleepless nightsthinking of how to do it.
