Can Connect To Laptop From Desktop, But Not Vice Versa?
Aug 29, 2011
I've got a desktop and a laptop both with Windows 7 on the same LAN and both have their network setting to Home. From my desktop, I am able to add a network location in My Computer to connect to my laptop. However, on my laptop I am unable to connect to my desktop. The desktop shows up in the list of network locations on my laptop but it always times out trying to connect to it and just says there was a problem with the connection. know the problem is not with my laptop because I am able to connect to my other PC as a network location. I really need to be able to connect to my main desktop though.
I have a desktop running Windows 7 professional 64-bit.I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home 64-bit.I want to share partitions on the laptop so I can copy files (generally using Syncback) from the desktop to the laptop. So, I go into properties, select Share With and Advanced Sharing. Then into Advanced Sharing where I give the partition a unique name. Then select Permissions.HOW do I set the permission so my account on the desktop can copy files to the laptop? I use the same username and password on both boxes. I specified my username on the laptop and got a user of laptopnameusername. On the desktop I can look in "Network", see the laptop, AND see the shared partition. But, when I try to copy a file from the desktop to the partition I get a "try again" and it says "You need permission to perform this action"I don't want to give "Everyone" full control, but that's the only way I've been able to get this work.
I have found that if you are planning to send your dvd video to any countries that support this system you will need to get your video converted to NTSC. Can anyone suggest that How to convert PAL to NTSC and vice versa?
1)You have two hard drives in your PC. Drive A contains Windows installation and other files. Drive B is an empty drive. Your Motherboard supports RAID 1(additionally 0 and 5) and you want to setup hardware RAID 1. Is it possible to switch HDD to RAID mode, enter RAID BIOS, create array using drive A, copy drive B content to drive A and run RAID 1 using two drives(drive A should rebuild array on next restart and copy mirror drive A on drive B)
2)You have two drives, drive A and drive B running in hardware RAID 1. You need to format drive B, copy drive A's content oto drive B(which should be non-raid drive now) and install non-raid drive B on another PC.
3)You have three drive A, B, C. Drive C contains Windows and other files. You need to setup RAID 1 using drive A and B and then copy Windows from drive C to newly created array consisting of drive A and B.
All three scenarios require no Windows re-installation.

How do I connect my desk top to my lap top? My lap top is using windows 7 and my desk op is using windows XP Pro. I want to use my files and other drives and possible control it all through my lap top?
I purchased a laptop last week with Windows 7 home premium. Currently have desktop wire to router with Windows 7 home premium as well. Everything hunky dorry in regards to internet connection. 2 days later, I've lost internet connection to both computers. Both say I'm connected to my network. I have other mobile devices that can connect to the router, so I don't think that's the issue. I read about disabling Home Group, which I did and that didn't help. I've got to think that there is a setting I just need to tweek, but have yet to come across something that works. The laptop does connect at my work to the WiFi so the network card is working properly. Both computers will connect to the internet if I bypass the router and connect ethernet cable directly from modem to computer.
I have both HP computers , desktop is windows xp and laptop is windows 7 . the desktop says both PC are conneted but the laptop is not .I have tryed to restore and that wont work
Brand new to this group - trying to find out if I can connect my laptop to my desktop to make it easier when I'm working from home. I'd rather use my desktop monitor and keyboard but need to access the files/applications from my laptop. I don't want to have to unplug the monitor/keyboard each time I'm home to work.
My Desktop is connected to a NetGear Router and is on a DLS line to internet. My wireless laptop picks up signal ok and goes online, it also "sees" desktop name, but I can't connect to it for file and printer sharing.
just last night after i was finished playing skyrim for the night, i saw on steam that i had no connection. so i looked towards the internet bars icon next to the clock and saw a yello triangle with a "!" in it. so i disconnected and reconnected but still the yellow "!". so i just decided i would try again tomorrow (today).when i woke up today it didn't have that error, so i decided to go to Internet on chrome, but it had that "webpage not available" (wouldn't work for ie either). i figured it would soon fix itself like it always had, so i tried playing mw3 on my xbox, but it wouldn't connect to live either o.o and when my mom wanted to watch netflix on the living room xbox, she couldn't connect either! then i figured out it was definatly my modem that was refusing to connect to anything.

I'm trying to connect to a network computer hooked up to a shared printer so that I can install the printer. However, when I try to connect to the target machine using either its computer name or its static IP address, I get an error: "Windows cannot access (target path) - Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose. Error code: 0x80004005 Unspecified error".
Network diagnostics revealed two problems: DETECTED - The remote device or resource won't accept the connection DETECTED - SBLSP over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IPv6]] is not configured properly on this computer
My wireless adapter status reveals that IPv6 has No Internet access. IPv4 is connected to both the network and the Internet. Every service provided through my onboard wireless adapter is enabled.
i set up network sharing i have a wireless card on my laptop and i have an Ethernet cord running from my laptop to my desktop and turned on sharing and even tried bridging them i cant get the desktop to connect it just stays limited to no connectivity.
I am trying to connect to another Windows 7 machine on the same router, but it will not connect. I have remote desktop enabled and checked under the computer settings, but when I right click the computer in the network & sharing center and try to connect, it won't work. I also tried manually entering the computer's network address but it failed. Both machines are Windows 7.
I'm using a desktop. I'm trying to connect via a Trendnet Wireless USB adapter. I have Windows 7 64 bit.
The internet works perfectly fine on my iPhone, iPad, Laptop, and the other wired desktops and wireless laptops in the house. The USB adapter worked before when I had a different ISP and a different router.So here's the point where I'm at. The adapter seems to be receiving a signal. It looks like packets are being both sent and received. However, my connecting process always seems to get stuck and it returns an 'Unidentified Network'.
And here's one more piece of information. At one point earlier today I actually did manage to connect internet, but only for a little bit (I accidentally hit disable and haven't been able to get back to it). I noticed that when it was connected, instead of an unidentified network, it showed A00-###### (I can't remember what or how many numbers there were).
Im sharing a wi-fi connection with my neighboor, and I had no problems getting online from my laptop. I just bought a new desktop however, and I cant connect it to the wi-fi connection - do I need to buy some kind of adapter or something.
Just recently immigrate to win 7, I used to connect my XP work computer via remote desktop from home, now I cant . The ping command works fine. How can I solve this problem?

i would like to connect using RDC from my netbook (using windows 7 starter) to my desktop (using windows 7 professional) on the road.

I have Windows 7 64 bit. I bought a Netgear DGN2000 approximately two years ago. It is working well. Currently, there is good connectivity between my laptop and the modem/router (wired and wireless).
I worked on my desktop this morning, uninstalled some programmes, but must have uninstalled a driver or something. I inserted the Resource CD, which installs the modem (although it is installed). Then it stalls at some point. If I troubleshoot, it states Windows do not detect a properly installed network adaptor.
* I am using a Blackberry to USB tether to my desktop (internet works on pc)
*Ethernet to WAN (from PC that has internet to wifi router)
*I get DNS is not responding now from any other computer connected to the network either wired or wifi
* Set up my network as following: Tether has internet sharing turned on and connected to Local Area Connection
* Local Area Connection has IP4 configured as:
IP address: 192.168.0.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Default: blank
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.1.1 (my ethernet connection so the internet connection is sent to wifi router)I have tried everything...I mean days of effort and searching. IP6 is disabled. Microsoft Virtual is disabled.This SAME exact setup was working perfectly a week ago with an older Linksys Wifi router. Then I bought a new Linksys E2000 and because I wanted something new (Bad move). That setup no longer worked on the new router....now it no longer works on the old router.
Microsoft is gearing up to release a tool that will permit users of Windows Vista and Windows XP computers to connect to Windows 7 machines, and to take advantage of features that only the latest version of the Windows client brings to the table. Bridging Vista and XP with Windows 7 will be possible through the Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) 7.0 client.
The Redmond-based company has been cooking the client for some time now, and it appears that the baking time is almost over. There’s still no definitive delivery deadline, but with Windows 7 general availability now almost a month away, Remote Desktop Connection 7.0 GA is bound to follow.
today my desktop couldn't connect to the internet even i tried to restart my router and cable modem for about 5 times. I'm sure i have internet because my sister's laptop still able connect to the internet. When i check my connection, it said " Local Area Connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration. My desktop is using window 7 and i think it just did some update before i shut it down last night.
